    totaly agree on this. i think the 3.0 930s are the most signifcant street car Porsche has ever made and (and probably will ever make). i would prefer to have onve instead of my 79, but couldn't find a good one when i was looking.

    Charles...'79"s are also a VERY good year for a 930! :)

    +1 and I recall their were 50 last cars that came in to the USA prior to Porsche bringing them back in the Mid to Late 80's.

    Great picture!
    Steel Wings had that particular Porsche for sale some time ago. Quite a storied past to that one. Displayed with a dummy motor for the car shows and then later a motor was added and sold on to Australia only to be raced, sold, rebought, sold again ...
    Not really a Turbo as presented but a very interesting model with lots of history behind it!

    2nd overall @ Le Mans wasn't first, but it wasn't bad.

    If you'll indulge me I will throw up a few from the archives of the car that patented the road-going 930...

    There is a great book that pays homage to the subject of this thread by Karl Ludvigsen. It was written in the period so its replete with testing & assembly images. A good read I can testify myself..

    i agree. i think it can be expanded to say the 930 is one of the ...if not the most significant sports cars ever made. i would not limit the significance to just porsche.

    the 930 was a beast from inception to end.
