1986 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe
Equipped with an electric sliding sunroof, heated seats, and limited-slip differential
Accompanied by books, tools, jack, spare, window sticker, and records
An original, well-kept example of the legendary Type 930
United States
Delivered new through European Imports Limited of Albuquerque, New Mexico, this 1986 911 Turbo is finished in Garnet Red Metallic over a special order Champagne leather interior with a brown leather dashboard, upper door panels, and steering wheel. According to its original window sticker, optional extras specified included powered and heated seats, an electric sliding sunroof, a steering wheel with raised hub, and Fuchs wheels with White Gold Metallic painted centers. In 2019 at 20,109 miles, Rennwerke Porsche of Elmsford, New York removed the engine and transmission rebuilding the latter and installing a fresh clutch disc and throwout bearing.
At the same time, new Pirelli Rosso tires were mounted and balanced. Registering less than 26,000 miles from new at the time of cataloging, this 911 Turbo presents in very original condition throughout. It is accompanied by books, tools, jack, spare, original radio, original window sticker, and records and has seen additional servicing at Rennwerke Porsche with invoices on file since 2020 showing parts and service work totaling just over $10,000
Porsche unveiled the Type 930 at the 1975 Frankfurt International Motor Show as its first road model using the turbo technology learned on the track. Distinguished from the standard 911 by way of wide fender flares, a more luxurious interior, and the iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler, the new 911 Turbo was propelled by a 3.0-liter flat-six engine utilizing a single turbocharger with a beefy four-speed manual transmission with stronger internals. An instant hit and among the world’s fastest production cars upon its introduction, every successive generation of 911 has had a flagship “Turbo” within its lineup.
By 1978, the 911 Turbo’s powerplant was enlarged to 3.3-liters and topped with an air-to-air intercooler that lowered engine temperatures and increased power. Other changes included a revised rear spoiler, an uprated suspension system, and 917-derived brakes. In 1980, the 911 Turbo was withdrawn from sale in the United States due to new, more restrictive emission laws, but was reintroduced to those markets in 1986 with open arms after further revisions and additional improvements. Car and Driver magazine heralded the model’s return in a January 1986 issue stating, “In the last six years it’s obviously been taught some manners. Antics that would have spun you out before hardly faze it. The brakes are superb. It’s still hard work to drive very, very fast, but it’s much more forgiving now.”
