The Porsche 930, produced from 1976 to 1984, was the first generation of the 911 to feature a turbocharged engine, a technological leap that transformed the legendary sports car into a ferocious performance machine. Though sharing many of the 911's iconic design elements, the 930 was instantly recognizable by its distinctive whale-tail rear spoiler, a necessity to manage the increased downforce generated by the turbocharged engine. Under the hood, the 930 housed a 3.0-liter, air-cooled flat-six engine, initially producing 260 horsepower, a significant step up from the naturally aspirated 911s. This engine, paired with a powerful turbocharger, delivered blistering acceleration and impressive top speed, making the 930 a formidable force on the track and the street. The 930, however, was not without its quirks. The turbocharged engine, while powerful, could be notoriously difficult to manage, with sudden bursts of power and a tendency towards turbo lag. The car's rear-wheel drive configuration, coupled with its powerful engine, meant that the 930 was prone to oversteer, particularly in wet conditions. Despite these challenges, the 930 gained a reputation for its raw power and thrilling driving experience, becoming a true icon of the 1970s and 1980s. It captured the imaginations of car enthusiasts and collectors, firmly establishing itself as one of the most desirable and collectible Porsche models ever produced.
