The 930 is also known as a 911 Carrera. In the 1987 model year the Carrera’s catalytic-converter engine was reworked for 95-octane unleaded fuel. They were fitted with the new G50 manual transmission, which was easier to use and stronger thanks to BorgWarner synchromesh.

In 1987, the Porsche 930’s were equipped with a 3.3-liter flat six-cylinder engine, producing 300 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque at 4,000-rpm. Married to the engine is a smooth shifting four-speed manual transaxle. The ventilated brake rotors are drilled for increased efficiency, and four-wheel disc brakes make stopping much more safe and easy. A large intercooler is housed within the “tea-tray” rear spoiler. This 930 is painted in a beautiful Guards Red with a complementary black interior. Though this car is a high performance racecar, it is still equipped with power brakes, power windows, air conditioning and a radio.

The 1987 930 Turbo, of which 1,695 were built for the U.S. market and another 786 for the “Rest of the World,” was capable of a blistering 160-mph top speed. The 930 could do 0- to 60-mph in about 4.9 seconds; compared to that of select Ferraris or Corvette who had a hard time braking eight seconds. This vehicle shows the changes that Porsche was making over the years and still being able to outperform their competitors.

This stunning Guards Red (L80K) Turbo Coupe, with sunroof and sports seats, has covered a mere 26,000 miles since leaving the factory in Stuttgart. Replete with a spectacular Black leather interior, the car still retains all original manuals, a complete original toolkit, and comprehensive invoices detailing recent service work.

Driven under 1,000 miles per year since new, and accompanied by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it would be a perfect addition to any collection of fine high performance sports cars, and is suitable for club events or weekend enjoyment.
