The Porsche 930, also known as the 911 Turbo, is a high-performance sports car that redefined the meaning of luxury and power in the early 1980s. Produced from 1975 to 1989, the 930 marked a significant evolution of the iconic 911 series. Its primary distinction was the addition of a turbocharger, a revolutionary technology at the time, which transformed the 911's already impressive performance. The 1981 model, specifically, benefited from refinements and improvements upon its predecessors, including a redesigned interior with better ergonomics and increased comfort, along with a more powerful engine producing 300 horsepower. The 930's iconic silhouette, with its distinctive whale tail spoiler and flared wheel arches, became synonymous with aggressive styling and potent performance.
The 1981 Porsche 930 was a driver's car par excellence, embodying both luxury and performance in equal measure. Its 3.3-liter, six-cylinder, air-cooled engine, coupled with the turbocharger, delivered exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling top speed. The 930's handling was renowned for its precision and responsiveness, offering a rewarding and immersive driving experience. However, the car was not without its quirks.
