Description
The Porsche 930 is a high-performance sports car that is part of the Porsche 911 family. It was produced by the German automaker Porsche from 1975 to 1989 and is often referred to as the Porsche 911 Turbo. Here are key features and details about the Porsche 930:1. **Introduction:** The Porsche 930 was introduced as the road-going version of the Porsche 911 Turbo, initially designed to homologate the 911 for racing. It made its debut at the 1974 Paris Auto Show and entered production in 1975.2. **Turbocharged Engine:** The 930 was the first production car to feature a turbocharged engine. It was powered by a 3.0-liter, air-cooled, flat-six engine with a single KKK turbocharger. The engine produced significant power for its time, with the early models delivering around 260 horsepower.3. **Rear-Engine Layout:** Like other 911 models, the 930 featured a rear-engine layout, with the flat-six engine located at the rear of the car. This layout contributed to the distinctive handling characteristics of the 911.4. **Flared Fenders and Spoiler:** The 930 was characterized by its wide, flared fenders and a prominent rear spoiler. These design elements were not only for visual appeal but also served to accommodate wider tires and improve aerodynamics.5. **Performance:** The 930 was known for its impressive performance figures. The turbocharged engine provided strong acceleration, and the car had a top speed of over 150 mph (240 km/h). The 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time was notably quick.6. **Limited-Slip Differential:** To handle the increased power and torque from the turbocharged engine, the 930 featured a limited-slip differential for improved traction and stability.7. **Suspension and Brakes:** The 930 was equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and larger brakes to handle the higher performance capabilities. The suspension featured revised geometry to manage the unique characteristics of the rear-engine layout.8. **Intercooler:** In 1978, the 930 received an intercooler, improving the efficiency of the turbocharged engine and increasing power output. The 3.3-liter engine produced around 300 horsepower in later models.9. **Impact Bumpers:** In compliance with safety regulations, the 930 featured impact bumpers, which were larger and designed to absorb impact energy in the event of a collision.10. **Continuation:** The 930 continued in production until 1989 when it was succeeded by the Porsche 964 Turbo. It left a lasting legacy as one of the pioneering high-performance turbocharged sports cars.The Porsche 930 is celebrated for its distinctive design, groundbreaking turbocharged engine, and thrilling performance. It has become a classic among Porsche enthusiasts and collectors, appreciated for its historical significance and driving experience.
