Introduced for 1978, the Porsche 930 Turbo received its most significant early evolution, replacing the original 3.0-liter engine with a 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six fitted with an intercooler and producing approximately 300 horsepower in European specification.

Instantly recognizable by its flared fenders, wide stance, and distinctive rear “whale tail” spoiler, the 930 was the fastest production car in Germany and established the template for every turbocharged 911 that followed.
