General Description

First introduced in 1975 the production of the 911 Turbo was directly derived from cars used for endurance racing and used a 3 litre engine with a 4 speed gearbox.  These were superseded in 1977 by the more familiar 3.3 litre version produced until 1989. 

With a larger intercooler and better brakes this Turbo was far more refined, however it had not lost the performance edge, with a healthy 300 bhp on tap the car still had the legendary Turbo kick, hence the nickname 'The Widow Maker'. 

The result was nothing more than staggering as the car sold in the thousands, an instant classic it was the definitive sports car of its age. 

This particular model was part of 50 limited edition 930 Turbos.
