80,000 kms recorded, matching numbers and fully restored with Porsche Geburtsurkunde
Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built before F.I.A approval for international racing was granted, led to the creation of ‘Project 930’ – the legendary Porsche 911 Turbo. Production began in April 1975: the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3.0 litre RSR engine, which in road trim delivered 260bhp and a top speed of 155mph. As impressive as this was, there was more to the Turbo than just top speed. It was also the best equipped 911 produced until that point, amazingly flexible – hence there being only a four speed gearbox – as well as being formidably fast. Indeed, standstill to 100mph was achieved in a mere 14 seconds.
Borrowing the flared wheel arches and ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler from the Carrera model, the Turbo had aggressive looks to match the performance. It also incorporated the most luxurious interior yet seen in a 911, with leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows.
One of only 644 Turbos manufactured in 1976, this fabulous matching numbers example was subject to a comprehensive restoration and now presents extremely nicely in its original shade of ‘Braunkupferdiamant’ with a re-trimmed beige leather interior. More recently the engine has benefitted from a further €7,000 in additional works.
Showing 80,000kms recorded and offered with Porsche Geburtsurkunde, this is a first class example of one of the most collectible variants of the iconic 911 Turbo.
