The Porsche 930 is a legend to enthusiasts all over the world, impressed by its incredible power and stunning looks. This Classic automobile was Porsche’s top-of-the-line model throughout its intermittent production from 1975-1989. Known to every car enthusiast simply as the turbo, the 930 was always among the fastest sports car money could buy.
Certainly the ultimate Porsche in the 930 series culminated with the ’89 turbo Cabriolet. Striking the perfect balance between old school and jet age; it was first to incorporate technological advancements which dramatically increased horsepower and improved road handling and the last year to feature the "classic" body style; free of complex emissions equipment, stability control, and other electronic systems that limit the driver's input.
But the biggest improvement for 1989 was the long-awaited GETRAG G-50 5-speed transmission. It was based on the transmission used in the 3.2 Carrera, but featured stronger cases and modified gear ratios to handle the turbocharged engine. A mere 600 U.S. spec Turbo Cabriolets were built in 1989 but this Monster Porsche was special ordered with the astonishing 400 HP twin plug engine through Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, FL. What a find!
In January 1989, VIN * WP0EB0937KS070423* one of only 600 left the factory gates of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, West Germany. Shortly after, production of the 930 ended forever.
Selling new on March 11, 1989 at Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville FL.
The current owner is a mature, prominent businessman who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality Porsches.
During this ownership, (less than 800 miles ago) the car received an extensive $42K+ engine rebuild, a brand new convertible top, 17’ reproduction Fuchs wheels with Bridgestone Potenza radials and an upgraded audio system. All receipts are available in PDF and can be emailed or faxed to you.
Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted Turbo, one that has always enjoyed a most beneficial climate and is pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service and upgrades money can buy.
Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out!
We start our inspection with the trunk, since this area can deliver valuable clues about a Porsche's true condition.
Original tire inflation compressor kit is still present.
Below the perfect gray felt mat, everything looks pristinely original.
XD400/4 4-Channel Amplifier powers the Kenwood KIV-BT900 AM/FM/USB HD audio system W/Bluetooth JL Audio and 8 Speakers. The STREET FIRE CDI Multi-Spark Ignition System brings state-of-the-art performance to the twin plug system.
Looking forward, the naked trunk reveals the naked truth.
From the untouched VREDESTEIN Space Master spare and complete tool roll, to the corrosion free battery area; everything is as virginal as it gets.
Concours ready, literally.
And yes, the white paint is 100% original!
To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today.
This turbo has never suffered any damage; there are virtually no door dings or rock chips to report.
Hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the turbo's pampered existence for the past 25 years.
The brand new convertible top was just fitted. The canvas boot is a very desirable option.
Power feature opens and closes the top perfectly
Added (OEM Porsche) side markers and rear fog lamp are a nice Euro touch for the US Porsche.
Other turbo options include power brakes, power/heated mirrors, power windows and headlight washer jets.
The lowered stance, deep front valance and large rear spoiler are no visual gimmicks, mind you.
With acceleration from zero to sixty in the sub 5-second range and a top speed of over 180mph, aerodynamics becomes a vital part of survival.
So are the brakes, by the way, hugely sized multi-caliper units grabbing drilled discs, derived straight from the famous Porsche 917 Can-Am race car.
Larger 17” replica FUCHS forged alloy wheels are a dramatic improvement in both looks and performance on the Turbo…
…especially when fitted with fresh Bridgestone Potenza RE11 255/40R17s, out back and 225/45R17s in front.
While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath because more important than shiny paint and sparkling wheels is a healthy undercarriage.
This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion.
Area below trunk, including the front suspension pan, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle, with all factory finishes preserved in reference quality.
Perfectly undisturbed, the undercarriage displays all the factory-applied coatings, including some Zuffenhausen-generated paint overspray.
Again, there's no rust, no flaking, no damage, just the all-original finishes.
Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of rust, or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.
Peeking inside this Turbo, luxury is abundant.
This Carrera comes with the full leather interior that exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate!
The inviting, factory optioned 8-way power seats will easily accommodate a 6'6"-tall NBA player.
Italian cow hides grace virtually every surface inside: dash, front and rear seats, door panels, and side panels; all this is complemented by deep velour carpeting and plush mats exclusive to the Turbo.
Wire inside glove box provides plug-in for iPhone or iPod device.
The upgraded Kenwood KIV-BT900 AM/FM/USB HD with JL Audio XD400/4 features: · 3" Full Color LCD Display · iPod(R)/iPhone(R) Video & Audio Playback · Built-In Parrot(R) Bluetooth(R) For Hands-Free Cellular Phone Operation · Video Output For Back Seat Monitor · Ripping From USB To Internal Memory (512 Mb)
Wireless remote located between the seats.
The iconic 911 cockpit featuring five large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers are a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection!
And the 059,401 miles shown on the 6-digit odometer are original!
Fully optioned with climate control, ice cold A/C, power seats, windows and heated mirrors, everything works perfectly, of course.
Books, manuals, and documents found inside the red vinyl pouch include the owner's manual, maintenance book, and radio instruction manual. There's also a spare key set.
Headliner shown from the inside of this brand new power convertible top is pristine. Above and below - top seals tight as a drum with no leaks or unusual wind noises.
The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life.
Factory-prescribed, large whale tail rear spoiler feeds huge air-to-air intercooler with all the fresh oxygen it needs.
How about a quick peek under the deck lid?
Inside the toothbrush-clean engine bay, lives Porsche's fabled 3.3-liter turbo power plant. This spectacular twin plug engine develops an astonishing 400 Teutonic horses @5,500 rpm. Even the factory decals are still in place.
This turbo runs super strong and displays no ill manners whatsoever--like smoking, oil piddling, or drinking.
12 leads from the distributer ignite the dual plug, 6-cylinder engine.
Frog's eye view. Notice stainless steel exhaust system.
Engine's bottom end, dry and clean.
Not a single oil leak to note. Dry as a bone and clean as a whistle.
With a $42,000 overhaul in the last 800 miles, the new owner can be assured of trouble free driving, now and way into the future. Fly in and drive home; even accross the country, if that is where you live.
Drivability:
The car runs, drives, handles, and stops flawlessly. Docile around town but explodes on the track. Above 4,500rpm, it sounds like a STIHL on steroids and it accelerates like a crazed ape.
Driving this collectible, exotic Porsche is truly an unforgettable, uniquely pleasurable experience. Its low mileage and full engine overhaul certainly provides an extra dimension of assurance and satisfaction: there are no squeaks or rattles; this 930 feels as solid as a rock!
What better way to enjoy the landscape-blurring speeds of the 930 than with the roof open and the wind in your hair? Throughout their production, the alluring turbo-boosted Cabriolets have always commanded greater prices than their solid-top counterparts.
Here's your chance to acquire one of the last, first-generation Porsche 930 supercars. The Turbo delivers everything its aggressive exterior promises: extreme driving pleasures, undiminished prestige, and unlimited appreciation potential.
A scant 600 U.S. turbo Cabs were made in '89 featuring the five-speed transmission. Today they are the most sought-after of the early Porsche 930 turbos. Almost three decades later, finding another rare twin plug example like this one will be next to impossible. As always, the best of the best are destined to appreciate steadily.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
