1987 Porsche 911 (930) 3.3-Litre Turbo

Much of the Porsche 911's development can be traced back to its racing program at the factory. The catalyst for the creation of the legendary 911 Turbo, known as Project 930, came from the Group 4 Homologation regulations of that era which required the production of 400 road cars, inspiring the birth of the iconic 911 Turbo.

Starting its production run in 1975 and lasting until 1989, the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger with the 3-litre Carrera RSR engine used in road trim. This powerful combination delivered an impressive 260bhp, allowing the Turbo to reach a top speed of 155mph. In 1978, the engine was enlarged to 3.3-litres, and an intercooler was added, resulting in a power increase to 300bhp and a top speed exceeding 160mph. It already held the title of the fastest accelerating road car of its time, and the enhancements made it even more formidable.

But speed wasn't the only aspect of the Turbo that left enthusiasts in awe; it was also remarkably versatile. Despite having only four speeds in the gearbox, the Turbo could achieve 100mph from a standstill in just 14 seconds. Its distinctive flared wheel arches and tea tray rear spoiler had been seen on the Carrera model before, whilst the interior set new standards for luxury in a 911, leather upholstery, air-conditioning, and electric windows making it the best-equipped version yet.

Offered here is a C16 UK-supplied right-hand drive 930 Turbo finished in desirable Guards Red with a classic 911 interior finished in Linen leather. It was delivered new to its first owner on the 8th May 1987 and has covered 78,881 miles since then according to the odometer reading at the time of cataloguing. The car's history file contains details of servicing and maintenance over the years by main dealers and well known specialists including Autofarm and Ninemeister and we recommend all interested parties to come and see the file and the car for themselves at our Race Retro Sale. The MOT is valid until 22nd September 2026 and the 911 was treated to expenditure in recent months meaning it’s ‘on its toes’ and ready for its next lucky owner.
