The Porsche 930, better known as the 911 Turbo, burst onto the scene in 1975, a daring move by the Zuffenhausen factory to homologate a turbocharged racing car and offer a road-going variant that would redefine the supercar landscape. With its iconic "whale tail" spoiler, flared arches, and the exhilarating rush of its turbocharged flat-six engine, the 930 quickly became a legend. It was a car that demanded respect, notorious for its sudden boost delivery and challenging handling at the limit, earning it the nickname "widowmaker" – a badge of honor for enthusiasts seeking an unadulterated driving experience. The 3.3-liter intercooled engine, introduced in 1978, further cemented its status, offering a significant bump in power and making it one of the fastest production cars of its era. This 1986 Porsche 930 Turbo, resplendent in its classic Guards Red exterior over a Tan interior, embodies the quintessential air-cooled Turbo aesthetic. Showing a remarkably low 57,376 miles, this example boasts an exceptionally rare two-owner history, with the second owner reportedly having cherished the car since the 1980s – a testament to its enduring appeal and careful stewardship. Power comes from the formidable 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six engine, mated to a manual transmission, promising an engaging and visceral driving experience. The CARFAX report confirms its clean history, free of accidents or damage, and highlights recent significant mechanical attention, including an engine overhaul with replacement of piston rings, rod bearings, and cylinder head service in August 2023. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved and meticulously cared-for example of Porsche's legendary 930 Turbo, ready to deliver its iconic blend of power and presence.
