930 Turbo Carrera

Thanks Joe – so it was featured in 3 period magazines

One of the things I didn’t like about the Excellence article was the comparison of the Turbo Carrera to the 2.7 Carrera RS: “The 930 may have homologated the 934, but it’s no 2.7 RS.”

Don’t get me wrong, the 2.7 RS is an amazing car but why compare it to an officially imported 1976 U.S. Turbo Carrera? Perhaps just another beat of the 2.7 RS drum.

 

hewr is blurb i poted on another P car site.

"I'm sure many don't agree with my statement as it is my opinion. While some limited production 911s such as Carrera RS's, and 911Rs and even some 911Ss are more valuable and are rich in Porsche heritage, I don't think they are the most significant road car Porsche made. My reasoning is why the street 3.0 930s were made, which ushered a new dominating era in Porsche racing. The 3.3 78-79s were an evolution of the early turbos and took performance to a new level for a street car. Maybe i'm biased because i grew up in the 934-935 era. Will they be as valuable as an RS or R down down the road, I don't think so due to supply (alot were made compared to an RS or R) and demand.

So back to the $40K question of an epic Porsche to buy, i think an early 930 is it."

 

I really like the back-ground art hanging around @ Thomas Janzen's place.

They had the '74 mirrors at that time nut the clunky electric ones that they ended up using for the US cars.....
