Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3

Il veicolo in dettaglio

Porsche’s delectable Type 930 took the automotive world by storm when it was introduced in 1974 as a 1975 model. By 1978, the 911 Turbo had become more civilized, but also more powerful, than its earlier brethren. Its 3.0-liter engine had grown to 3.3 liters and acquired an air-to-air intercooler housed beneath a larger rear “whale tail.” Power had grown to a solid 265 horsepower and an impressive 291 pound-feet of torque feeding through a four-speed, limited-slip transaxle.

This handsome “triple-black” 911 Turbo is quite unusual, as its first owner ordered it through a Boulder, Colorado, dealership without an electric sunroof—a specification that saved weight while stiffening the body and providing increased headroom while wearing a helmet, all boons to on-track performance driving. The car was factory-equipped with Sport Seats—distinctively finished from the factory with green piping—and Pirelli high-performance tires, and it was trimmed with “Turbo” decals on its quarter-panels. The consignor notes that the car has no known racing history, which is unusual for such “slick top” examples.
