The vehicle in detail

THE PORSCHE 930 SLANT NOSE

By combining a turbocharged engine with open coachwork, modified in competition style, Porsche created what is considered today to be one of the most desirable late models 911s—the 911 Turbo SE (“Flat Nose” or “Slant Nose”) Cabriolet. Group 4 homologation rules, requiring 400 road cars to be built, had spurred the development of “Project 930″—the original 911 Turbo. In October of 1974, Ernst Fuhrmann officially unveiled the first Turbo production model. The Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to a completely reworked 3.0-liter engine, in road trim a combination that delivered 260bhp for a top speed of 153mph. The Turbo’s characteristic flared wheel arches and “tea tray” rear spoiler were carried over from the Carrera model, while the interior was the most luxurious yet seen in a 911. The engine was enlarged to 3.3-liters for 1978, gaining an inter-cooler in the process. Power increased to 300bhp (265bhp for US models) and the top speed of what was the fastest-accelerating road car of its day went up to 160mph.

The 911 Turbo’s raison d’être—the racing 935—had pioneered what would come to be known as the “slant” or “flat” nose, and this new look was soon in high demand from 911 customers. Early on, Kremer Racing offered a conversion service that was later taken up by the factory’s own Customer Department for special order (Sunderwunschen) in 1981. The race inspired slant nose body work would not become an official Porsche option until 1986. The 930s equipped with the rare, modified panels which were modeled after the 935-race car. The converted front wings were steel, incorporating cooling vents and pop-up headlamps (early examples had them in the air dam). The car’s side skirts lead to the rear which had extra cooling intakes ahead of the rear wheels. Along with the body modifications came an even more luxurious full leather interior.

The interior was graced with luxuries such as air conditioning and special electrically adjustable and heated Recaro seats. Production of these modified 930s remained quite low due to the very high cost that they carried.

THE CAR OFFERED

This exceedingly rare Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Slant Nose is beautifully presented in its original livery of Grand Prix White over Lipstick Red leather and leatherette interior with black electric soft top. The car completed production on 5/20/1988 and delivered new to dealer Bell Motorcars of Rahway, New Jersey; the car eventually made its way to Autohaus Fortense in Forsythe, Illinois where it was sold as a new car to its first retail customer in June of 1989. This Turbo Cabriolet was very nicely optioned with the classic ’80s look of color-coded white centers to the wheels, upgraded audio system, limited slip differential, and of course, the 930S Slant Nose (505), a $29,559 option. Other factory options include the steering wheel with raised hub, power convertible top in black, supple leather, L/R power lumbar seats and the rear model designation delete option, quite the humblebrag.

Having been sparingly driven throughout its life, the car has covered fewer than 39,000 miles from the time it left the factory. The overall great condition of the car is thanks to the fact that the car has been continually meticulously cared for while always being stored inside a garage. This example comes equipped with an upgraded aftermarket Kenwood stereo system (the original Blaupunkt is included in the sale), cleanly installed in the dash alongside black faced gauges. The car was meticulously maintained by Euro Motorworks of Indianapolis, Indiana with stamps in the service book, showing very regular maintenance throughout the car’s life up to the last of which dating back to 2015, where it showed only 37,000 miles on the odometer.

This 930 Turbo Cabriolet Slant Nose is accompanied by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, clean Carfax report, copy of the original window sticker totaling $119,482 USD, a complement of books, including the sparingly seen slant nose supplement, tool kit, jack and spare wheel. The car will also include a host of old service receipts dating back from 1991 all the way to 2024. The car runs and drives just as a well-maintained example should.

As one of the rarest models in Porsche’s history, finished in an attractive color combination with its beautiful color matched wheels, this 930 makes quite the statement. Surely a wonderful opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a Flachbau 930 Turbo Cabriolet.
