KEY FACTS This 930-generation Porsche 911 Turbo ‘Flachbau’ is a rare and distinctive 1980s performance icon. It is powered by a modified turbocharged 3.3-litre air-cooled flat-six, now reportedly producing 371PS and 500Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. This North-American market example is now registered in Germany.
