Turbocharging Pioneers: Porsche 930 - Latest Cars News

Simply enough, a Porsche 911 with a turbocharger. The 930 significantly raised the performance bar for sports cars at the time. As we discussed earlier, Porsche's Type 930 911 was not the first turbocharged production car, but it does play a much more prominent role in the history of turbocharging. This was the car which finally ushered in a whole era of turbocharged cars. It became Porsche's top-end model, and proved so undeniably good that Porsche decided to keep turning out turbo versions of every generation of the 911 since. It seems like that would have been a foregone conclusion, but the 930 nearly ended up a dead end on a couple of occasions.
