History
This model year introduced the intercooled version of the 930 with the whale tale that defined Porsche’s first supercar. Not only is the 930 a highly collectible car with an iconic look, but it also has the remarkable history of being the only homologated road car to win the 24hrs of Le Mans outright in 1979 by Porsche Kremer Racing. It was at the head of the pack in its day and the performance still impresses today.

There are good arguments to be made that the Porsche 930 (AKA the 911 Turbo) was the first civilized supercar. As reliable as an anvil and the fastest car on the German Autobahns for almost a decade, it proved that high performance didn’t have to be finicky. As long as you were skillful enough to drive it to its potential.
