Auctionata: Porsche 930 Turbo 3.0 Video
Porsche began to use exhaust turbochargers to charge engines as of the early 70s. However, these attempts were initially applied only in racing. In 1972 Porsche developed a version of the 917 racing engine with exhaust turbocharger and 100 hp output for the American CanAm Series. Due to its success, Porsche won the CanAm Series in 1972 and 1973, Porsche used the experience with the turbo gained in racing for its serial sports car production immediately. In 1974 the first racing car made on the basis of the 911 was ready to use. It was a turbocharged version of the 911 Carrera 3.0 RSR.
40 Years of the Turbo
Released in 1975, the Porsche 930 Turbo would spark the imagination and dreams of many including our friend Magnus Walker. After collecting several early Turbos and still in need of the holy grail - a first year 1975 model, he turned to the folks at Autohaus Hamilton in Australia to help him acquire 1 of 15 right hand drive examples. We met up with Magnus in the canyons, along with the current 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo, to see just how much has changed in the last 40 years for this iconic car.
