Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0

Le véhicule en détail

As Porsche started trialling turbocharged technology in its race cars at the end of the 1960s, it would only be a matter of time for the Stuttgart marque’s road cars to incorporate the power-boosting engineering in some form. The road-going 911 Turbo entered production for the 1975 model year—for the purposes of homologating the 934 for the 1976 season—and was an instant hit, with 1,000 examples made by May 1976. Some 2,819 units of the 930 Turbo were made with the initial 3.0-litre engine between 1975 and 1977 before production commenced with the 3.3-litre motor from 1978 to 1989.
This example was completed on 21 January 1977 and delivered new to Germany, according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies the car. The 911 was configured by the Stuttgart factory in Grand Prix White, a colour it retains to this day, with optional extras including a Blaupunkt cassette desk and sunroof. The car was built with the earlier 3.0-litre engine, making it the rarer specimen. The 911 is believed to have remained in Germany for much of its life, with its accompanying service book detailing periodical main dealer servicing from delivery until the 2000s. The car is believed to have been resprayed once before, and in June 2015 it joined The Curated Collection.
Retaining its matching-numbers chassis and engine, this charming 911 Turbo would be an excellent entry point to classic Porsche ownership.
