About the 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo:

Type 930. 300 bhp. 3. 99 cc air-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with a single turbocharger and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. four-speed manual transmission. front and rear independent suspension. and four-wheel power disc brakes. Wheelbase: 89. 4 in.

In the company's earliest days. Porsche was known for producing lightweight cars with exceptional handling characteristics. This formula kept Porsche very competitive on race tracks and in showrooms around the world until 1976. when the 911 Turbo was introduced.

Porsche had experimented with turbocharging its racing cars. most notably with the 917/30. but the Type 930 Turbo was the first road going Porsche to utilize forced induction. The 930 Turbo retained the classic looks of the 911 that enthusiasts had come to know and love. yet it was defined by its unique “whale tail” spoiler. which helped to keep the rear tires planted on the pavement at high speeds. The 911 Turbo boasted a top speed of just over 155 mph. making it one of the fastest cars of its day. Car and Driver magazine recorded a 0–60 sprint in just 4. 9 seconds. which is a time that could easily beat most cars produced today.
