Rumors were abound in the motoring press that Porsche was going torelease something big at the 1974 Paris Motorshow. Wild guesseswere thrown everywhere and included everything, from Formula One project,to new racing car, via completely new model and suggestions that even achange of ownership was on the cards. However, very few came near the truth the 1974 Paris Motorshow was therelease of the 930 Turbo to many the personification of the 911 model.  Originally intended as homologation special toallow the 911-bodyshape to go racing, the 930 was destined to be limited-runmodel. To homologate the 911 for Group 'Silhouette' racing, Porsche had tobuild 400 930s by 1976. But demand was much stronger than expected, and Porschehad sold the 400 cars by mid-1975. The car was obviously popular, and Porsche had already decided that itwould continue with the model. But internal conflict was rife over the form itshould take Ferry Porsche decreeing that the 930 should be stripped-outRS-alike, and company CEO arguing that luxurious, GT specification was whatwas needed. The board member sided with the CEO, and the 930 continued as theultimate 911 supercar performance provided by the 3.0 litre flat six,developed from the RSR racer, allied to luxurious leather interior -featuring all the mod-cons available at the time. Particular options ofinterest were the 'Dr. Furmann seats' curious bubble-padded perches designedto eliminate shoulder and back pain on long distance driving and theBlaupunkt 'Portable' stereo in reality, giant black box weighing severalkilograms. The new model was given the type-code '930' to differentiate it fromthe standard 911. The model pioneered high-performance turbocharging, utilising singleKKK-unit to give 260BHP, and the harnessing of aerodynamics on road car, inthe shape of the synonomous 'Tea Tray' rear wing. 1978 brought the first real revamp to the 930 range, and large changeswere made to the engine. Originally 3.0 litres in capacity, it had been boredout to 3.3 litres. This hiked power, from 260BHP to 300BHP, with help from theaddition of an intercooler. The fourth gear ratio was lengthened in light ofthe car's new top speed. Other innovations included ventilated disk brakes,developed from the legendary 'Pink Pig' 917 Le Mans racer and these weregripped by four piston calipers. Such an advanced braking system had never beenseen before on road car. As can be imagined, performance got even more impressive it was nowpossible to go from 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds, and onto top speed of almost180mph. Period press marvelled at the engineering with British magazine Motorclaiming 'the best example of precision engineering on four wheels. 1981 saw the introduction of seven-year anti-corrosion warranty, due tothe fact that the 911 shell was now zinc-dipped to prevent corrosion. Frontdriving lights were added as standard, as well as the appearance of wingindicator lights. Unfortunately, the strict emissions regulations of the USA strangledpower outputs of the 930 to just 250BHP. Porsche decided to prove the 930's worth to an assembled group ofinfluential customers and world-famous motoring journalists, in 1982, at NATOairbase. The plan was to race the 930 against fighter jet, along the runway,to show how un-Earthly the acceleration of the vehicle was. The plane chosenwas an 80,000BHP Phantom, and the driver chosen was Jurgen Barth, at the timePorsche's test driver. The Porsche covered the first 100m in 5.0 seconds. ThePhantom jet took 5.2 seconds. The 930 was declared one of Kuwait's most popular cars, as the oilmillionaires chose to spend their money on Porsche's flagship.
