1982 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo

Known colloquially as the ‘Widowmaker’, early series Porsche 911 Turbos are as raw as a road car gets. Created in the aftermath of Porsche’s dominance of American Can-Am racing, the 930 series leveraged many of the race car’s turbocharged engine advancements and applied them to Porsche’s seminal road car – the 911.

This recently rebuilt, 3.3 litre, flat-six engine develops 221kW at 5,500rpm and 329Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. Paired with a slick shifting four-speed manual, the 911 Turbo became the fastest German production car ever, accelerating to 100km/h in just 5 seconds all the way to a top speed of 260km/h.

This example presents well, with a restoration completed in 2020. Originally a left-hand drive German market example, this vehicle has been professionally converted to right-hand drive and features a letter of authenticity from Porsche detailing the vehicle’s provenance.

Cosmetic and mechanical elements of the vehicle have been renewed, with an extensive catalogue of Porsche Genuine parts used in the restoration including dash, carpets, hood lining and leather for the reupholstered interior.

Beyond the rebuilt engine, the vehicle has received new brake package, new door, window and sunroof seals along with a restored, factory original stereo. Topping off the freshly painted vehicle are original Fuchs 16-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tyres 205/55 R16 front and 225/50 R16 rear.

The Porsche 911 (930) was the performance hero of the 1980s German sports cars and this vehicle offers an opportunity to secure a low-kilometre example of a rare and highly desirable Porsche to be driven and enjoyed.
