The Porsche 930, famously known as the 911 Turbo, is a high-performance sports car produced by Porsche from 1975 to 1989. The 1978 model year, highlighted in the provided service manual, represents a pivotal point in the 930's evolution. This particular year saw the introduction of the iconic "whale tail" rear spoiler, which was significantly larger and more aerodynamic than its predecessor. This spoiler, alongside a revised engine management system, helped to improve the car's high-speed stability and handling, making it even more capable on the track and the open road. Under the hood, the 930 was powered by a 3.3-liter, air-cooled, flat-six engine equipped with a single KKK turbocharger, producing an impressive 300 horsepower. This engine, coupled with a powerful rear-wheel drive system, allowed the 930 to reach a top speed of over 160 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. The 1978 Porsche 930, however, was not just known for its performance, but also for its distinct character and driving experience. The car's responsive handling, responsive steering, and aggressive turbocharged engine provided a thrilling and engaging driving experience. Inside, the 930 featured a spartan but comfortable interior with high-quality materials and well-designed ergonomics. While the 930 was a high-performance sports car, it also possessed practicality. With its 2+2 seating configuration and surprisingly spacious trunk, it was capable of comfortably carrying passengers and luggage, proving to be a versatile car for everyday driving as well. The 1978 Porsche 930, with its groundbreaking design, impressive performance, and captivating driving experience, cemented its place as an automotive legend and a timeless symbol of Porsche's commitment to engineering excellence.
