Porsche 930 Turbo Convertible G50

In the 1970s, the Porsche customer competition department was running at full speed. The 911 must evolve to remain competitive in the various GT championships which impose a road car production quota on the manufacturers involved. This is the reason for the famous 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973 and the confidential 911 Carrera RS 3.0 released a year later. The latter, with its wide wings and whale-tail rear spoiler, already bears certain marks of the car that interests us today.

In the competition department, we dream of installing a turbo on the 911 to create a sort of “911 Turbo RS”. In the manufacturer’s marketing department, we don’t hear it that way. Already burned by the Carrera RS which was supposed to be a Grand Touring, they don’t want us to do it to them a second time. The 911 Turbo will be a real road car, opulent and well-equipped, capable of covering the kilometers at high speed in comfort worthy of a top-of-the-range car. Its existence is all the more legitimate to facilitate the approval of the competition Porsche 934 and 935 which will use this technology.

In 1974, the monstrous 911 Carrera RSR Turbo finished second in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite its immense rear protuberance which hardly conceals the enormous intercooler necessary for cooling the turbo, the wings and an oversized rear wing, the car makes an impression and the inscription “Turbolader KKK” is striking.

Unveiled in Paris, dressed in an elegant metallic dark green color and soberly designated under the name Porsche Turbo, the 930, which owes its designation to its 3 liter engine developing 260 hp, is presented as a luxurious Grand Touring usable all year round. days. What she is!

Equipped with a new three-spoke steering wheel covered in leather, thick carpets, specific upholstery mixing leather and fabric, electric windows, a cassette car radio with four speakers, a windshield wiper rear and fog lights at the front, the new 911 Turbo has everything a top-of-the-range model.

Outside, the line causes a sensation. The front fenders are widened by 60 mm at the front and 120 mm at the rear to accommodate Fuchs rims, respectively 7” and 8” wide with a diameter of 15”. Above all, there is this enormous whale-tail rear fin, which immediately catches the eye and makes the public dream.
The performances are of the highest order with a top speed of 250 km/h and a 1000 m DA covered in 24 seconds! For its time, it was remarkable.

The model presented is a convertible from the latest generation of the 930, equipped with the 3.3L engine and the 5-speed G50 gearbox with very low original mileage. More powerful and more “civilized” thanks to its 5 gearbox, the 930 dd 1989 is the most sought after by enthusiasts.

The current owner wanted to own the most beautiful 930 convertible possible, which is why he asked his Porsche specialist to completely restore it with no budget limit.
A photo file accompanies the car. The level of quality and detail achieved with this car is simply incredible.
