Porsche 911 (930)

The Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is the turbocharged variant of the 911 sports car that Porsche made between 1975 and 1989. It was the top-of-the-range 911 for its whole production run and, when it was introduced, the fastest production car in Germany. Porsche had tried turbocharging on its race cars from the late 1960s and began work on a turbo 911 in 1972, partly to meet homologation rules for the 1976 racing season. Ernst Fuhrmann adapted the turbo technology from the 917/30 Can-Am car to the 3.0 litre flat-six of the Carrera RS 3.0. Four hundred cars were built by the end of 1975, and the 1,000th was completed on 5 May 1976.
