1974 porsche 911 (930) turbo

1974 Porsche 911 Turbo is the first Porsche turbo car.

The story of how the car came about is similar to that of the Carerra RS. ”We wanted to have a good basic car for motor racing”, recalls the then Project Manager at Porsche, Wolfgang Berger. First we looked at producing a car that was as lightweight as possible and which had a turbo charger boosted engine. Porsche had actually already gained experience with turbochargers in motor racing. The engineers began experimenting with the 2.7 litre engine but a three-litre variant proved to be the more harmonious solution.
The first fruit of their efforts was the Porsche Carrera turbo, which was presented at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1973. Then the motor sport regulations changed and it was no longer necessary to homologise a lightweight version because the planned sports car would shift into the group with a minimum weight of 1120 kilograms. A thoroughly luxuriously fitted Porsche turbo therefore celebrated its premier at the Paris Salon in 1974 – with the number 930 as its own type code and signifying internally a separate identity to the 911.
