Porsche 930 Turbo For Sale
The Porsche 930 Turbo (1975–1989) is one of the most iconic performance cars ever built. Introducing a turbocharged flat-six to the 911 for the first time, the 930 produced up to 330hp in later specification — delivered with the notorious "turbo lag" that made it simultaneously thrilling and demanding to drive.
Built over fourteen years, the 930 evolved significantly: early 3.0-litre cars give way to the 3.3-litre from 1978 with the distinctive intercooler spine, improved power, and the introduction of the rear whale tail spoiler. Later 930s (1986–1989) are the most refined and most collectible. The Slantnose (Flachbau) factory conversion adds significant visual drama and collector value.
Two gearbox options were offered: the earlier 915 4-speed (fitted to pre-1977 cars) and the superior G50 5-speed from 1987 onwards — the G50 is widely preferred for its improved shift quality and reliability. Rennzone lists 930 examples from private collectors and specialist dealers worldwide. Clean, well-documented examples with matching numbers and full service history command the strongest premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Porsche 930 dangerous to drive?
- The 930 earned a reputation as difficult due to its sudden turbo delivery. Modern tyres and driver awareness make it manageable, but it rewards smooth inputs and punishes ham-fisted driving. It is not a beginner car, but an experienced driver will find it deeply rewarding.
- What is the difference between 930 years?
- Early 930s (1975–1977) have 3.0-litre engines. From 1978, the 3.3-litre with intercooler became standard — this is the most recognisable and sought-after spec. 1986–1989 cars are the most refined. The Slant Nose (Flachbau) factory option is rare and commands a significant premium.
