911 3.0 TURBO
Internally dubbed the Type 930, the Turbo, featured a three-litre air-cooled six-cylinder engine boosted by a KKK turbocharger. With maximum pressure of .8 Bar the engine developed an impressive 260 hp at 5,500 rpm. With that much twist available, Porsche determined that the stronger four-speed transaxle with widely spaced ratios would suit in place of the five-speed gearbox used across the rest of the 911 range.
Nobody would ever mistake the muscular new bodywork of the Turbo for any ordinary 911; its front fenders and rear quarter-panels were drastically flared to accommodate new 15-inch-diameter Fuchs forged aluminum road wheels, seven inches wide in front and eight inches in the rear.
The rear ‘whale-tail’ spoiler not only added down-force, but its separate intake grille also supplied cooling air to the engine compartment. A deep chin spoiler was added below the nose to balance the handling.
Porsche had taken the challenge of building an incredible performance car in an era when the powers that be fought against it, and the result was not only the fastest production car that they had ever offered, but also the fastest production car on the planet.
