Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0

The vehicle in detail

It's worth going back in time to the mid-70s. More specifically, 1974 and the Paris Motor Show. This is where the outside world first sees the new model from everyone's favorite manufacturer. The Porsche TURBO. The shapes are recognizable but the car seems to have starved and become more muscular. The now iconic hips over the rear wheels are much more marked and defined than on its siblings and at the back a well-dimensioned wing that would become synonymous with the model for decades to come. But it was above all the heavily turbocharged 3-liter engine that was the highlight. Early cars like this had 245hp (260hp for Europeans) and a steep power curve to say the least, which unfortunately meant that many were surprised in the wrong place by the car's performance. Someone who, as I said, had it in mind that it was nicknamed 'The Widowmaker'.

This example is from 1976 and began its life on the American West Coast and came to Europe in 2006. The car comes with a binder full of documentation that follows the car back a long way with receipts and maintenance receipts. The car came to Europe as a fine example but has recently undergone a significant renovation. Something that is also supported by receipts and other documents.
