The Legend of the Porsche 911 (930)
The Porsche 911 (930), also known as the original 911 Turbo, is an icon in automotive history. Manufactured from 1975 to 1989, the 930 marked the first generation of the Porsche 911 Turbo and set new standards for performance vehicles of its time. The Porsche 911 (930) was the successor to the original 911 and was designed by the renowned designer Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche. It was distinguished by its powerful 3.0-liter or 3.3-liter turbocharged engine, producing between 260 and 330 horsepower, depending on the model year and version. The car was known for its distinctive "Whale Tail" rear wing and its characteristic body shape that is unmistakably Porsche. In the production year of the 930 Turbo, 1975, the Vietnam War ended, and the famous single "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen was first heard. These examples highlight the historical context in which this legendary sports car was designed.
Details of the Original Vehicle
The Porsche 911 (930) Turbo had different engine options depending on the model year, as mentioned before. The car was particularly known for its outstanding performance and dynamics. The turbocharging provided the car with incredible acceleration, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 5 seconds. The 930's body was widened to accommodate the wider tires and axles required for the powerful engine. The developers paid great attention to aerodynamic efficiency, evident in the iconic rear wing and wide fenders. The delay in throttle response (also known as "Turbo Lag") was distinctly felt in this car, yet enthusiasts appreciated it for its exceptional performance and technical sophistication.
