My Porsche 930 Turbo

This is my “Special Wishes” Lightweight 1983 Porsche 911 Turbo (930). The car is unique, a total one off, that was a special made to order car for a famous Swiss racing driver (please click the provenance link for full details).

The car is completely original as it left the factory, bar a few minor enhancements (see below). It comes in the very rare Kiln Red (only available 1982-84), with a unique sample matched, olive green full leather interior.

The car is minus the weighty refinements usually found on a Turbo and weighs in at 1200KG, some 100KG lighter than a standard 930. There’s no heavy aircon, no heavy electric seats, and no heavy electric sunroof.

Other points to note are it has LSD transmission with a 40% locking factor and the muffler on the turbo waste gate was omitted at build. As mentioned the car is completely original as it left the factory bar the following 4 minor enhancements. 8″ Fuchs upfront rather than the standard 7′s. A 934 boost gauge replacing the clock in the dash board, with a vdo clock placed in the centre console. A Heigo strut brace and the rear windscreen wiper has been removed.

The car was featured in the November 2007 edition of Total 911 Magazine (issue 30). The double page advert below appeared in the October 2007 edition (issue 29). The exceptional photos were taken by Chris Wallbank and the superb write up and test drive was done by John Glynn.
