1976 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo in Platinum Metallic for sale!
By the early 1970s, the 911 had established itself as much more than just a performance or grand-touring car, it had solidified its reputation as a formidable competition car. Engineers consistently worked to further its capabilities, and it wasn’t long before they sought to employ turbocharging as an efficient solution to developing more horsepower and gain an edge in competition. FIA homologation regulations required that Porsche build street-legal versions of the cars that they intended to race, and in turn provided a direct link to their competition-winning technology and their production models. Turbocharging finally made its way into the production 911 in 1975 in the form of the Turbo Carrera. Automotive journalists at the time were stunned by its performance, exclaiming that it was “mania on wheels” in response to the sudden onset of power from the large KKK turbocharger and its inclination to oversteer.
