The vehicle in detail

Launched just over a decade after the introduction of the first Porsche 911, the gulf between the earliest air-cooled variants and the new-for-1975 911 Turbo Coupé couldn’t have been wider. As the first forced-induction variant of Zuffenhausen’s flagship sportscar, the “930”-generation boasted blistering acceleration and class-leading handling, in addition to wild styling that included flared-arches, fat tyres, and a “whale tail” spoiler inspired by the hugely competitive IROC racers. The 911 Turbo Coupé set a new benchmark not just for the model but for the supercar genre as a whole, and became the measure by which all other performance models would be judged.

According to factory data, this 1978 model year example was built in 1977, and was sold to its first owner via MAHAG Munich on 21 October that year. Little is known about the car’s history prior to 2009, when accompanying invoices detail a bout of restoration work carried out at marque specialist Krämer. In March 2009, an invoice for €23,928.50 was issued for the complete rebuild of its original 3.3-litre flat-six engine. In the same year a bill for €26,561.11 details a raft of work amounting to a cosmetic and mechanical refresh, including a repaint and an overhaul of the braking and suspension systems. The car later joined The Carrera Collection on 27 May 2013.

This attractive Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé is finished in Silver Metallic over a brown leather interior with trademark Fuchs alloy wheels, and further benefits from the addition of a modern Becker Mexico stereo. Additionally, factory data confirms that this car retains its matching-numbers chassis and engine.

Presenting in restored condition, this eminently usable example of a landmark supercar would make an ideal entrant to driving tours and rallies such as the Coupe des Alpes or would prove equally as at home being driven spiritedly on exhilarating roads.
