Porsche 911 Turbo

In the model year 1975, exhaust turbocharging led to a particularly powerful version of the Porsche 911 coming onto the market: the 911 Turbo. Since its market launch in model year 1975, the 911 Turbo (initially also referred to internally as the 930) has been the top model of the 911 series.

The 930 had flared rear wings, which made it 12 cm wider. Black foils were attached in front of the rear wheel arches to serve as stone chip protection. The rear lid was adorned with a distinctive rear wing with a wide Black border made of hard rubber.

Up to model year 1977, the rear lid was made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic. From model year 1978, the bonnet, made of sheet steel, and the fixed rear wing, made of plastic, were significantly larger in order to accommodate the intercooler. What's more, the Turbo received an exhaust system with a twin tailpipes. Exhaust gases only came through the left-hand pipe when the turbocharger's boost-pressure control valve was open.

From model year 1987, the Turbo model was also available in the Targa and Cabriolet bodyshell variants.

In model year 1989, the four-speed manual transmission was replaced with a five-speed one.
