Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3

At the Paris Motor Show in 1973, Porsche presented a road going 911 prototype equipped with a turbo engine. After a year of intense development and despite the oil crisis, the company unveiled the production model in October 1974, the 930 3.0 Turbo. Equipped at that time with a 3.0 litre engine producing 260 hp and a 4 speed gearbox, it marked the beginning of a long commercial success story for the Turbo at Porsche, a story that continues within the 911 range to this day.

In August 1977, the 3.0 was replaced by a 3.3 litre engine with intercooler producing 300 hp, which would remain unchanged for 12 years, still paired with the 4 speed gearbox. This 4 speed gearbox, type 930/30 developed for the Turbo, evolved over the years and finally in 1989 Porsche introduced a 5 speed gearbox developed from the G50 transmission that had been introduced on the Carrera 3.2 in 1986.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was produced in 10,087 units in Turbo 3.3 4 speed version between 1977 and 1988 in European specifications.
