Porsche’s initial work with turbocharging their racing cars during the late 1960s led to development of a turbocharged street version of the 911. While initially required to comply with FIA homologation requirements, development continued when the rules changed nevertheless. The new Porsche was repositioned as a fully equipped model to lead the 911 series, and to compete directly with the costlier and more exotic vehicles from Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Ernst Fuhrmann led development, adapting the technology developed for the 917/30 
Can-Am car to the 3.0-liter-flat-six from the Carrera RS 3.0. Suspension refinements, larger brakes and a strengthened four-speed manual gearbox rounded out the package. A functional "whale-tail" rear spoiler increased cooling airflow and provided rear downforce. Wider rear wheels with upgraded tires resided within flared wheel wells, considerably increasing grip and stability at speed. 
Simply known as the "Turbo", the new vehicle was released in the spring of 1975, with export to the U.S. commencing in 1976. In 1978, power output reached 300 hp (DIN), with a displacement increase to 3.3 liters and the addition of an air-to-air intercooler. Porsche’s continuous development included slight revisions to the rear spoiler to accommodate the intercooler. Braking was significantly upgraded with units similar in basic design to those of the mighty 917. Porsche’s careful development also ensured that the 930 was a sound basis for its racing vehicles, and led to the highly successful 934 and 935 racing cars, which utterly dominated the most world’s most prestigious endurance races from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. The 930 proved fast but demanding; however, skilled drivers quickly learned how to drive it properly, and to drive the car well beyond the limits of most other sports cars. 
Retaining its eye-arresting original paint finish, clearly well maintained, and having travelled only an approximate 23,000 original miles from new, this outstanding 1987 Porsche 930 Turbo Coupe also retains its legendary original 3.3-liter engine. As a late-production example, it provides easier driving with reduced turbo lag and suspension refinements that tamed – only slightly – the car’s demands. Clean, untouched, and impressive throughout, it is Porsche’s definitive supercar of the era and perennially desirable to true Porsche enthusiasts everywhere. A legendary performer and perhaps the definitive supercar of its era, this Porsche 930 Turbo will certainly remain a valuable and significant automobile and a true cornerstone of any serious Porsche collection.

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Early guesses put the engine output somewhere around 560 horsepower.
Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine should propel this rear-engined heathen to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Top speed? Try somewhere around 200 mph. If that's true, the next-generation 911 GT2 will be the fastest 911 in Porsche history.

Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
