The seller offers for sale this 1985 Porsche 911 Turbo, powered by a 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller purchased this 930 in California in October 2018 and shipped it to the renowned Porsche specialists at Fabspeed, who serviced the car and fitted a new turbocharger, a new intercooler and a stainless steel exhaust system. The car was then stored in the United States until March 2023, when the seller imported it to France, where it has remained in storage since; it has not been registered in France. While there is no service history file, the Carfax report from the time of purchase accompanies the car. The interior presents cleanly, and the odometer reads 108337 miles.
The 911 Turbo, known internally as the 930, is one of the defining supercars of its era. Launched in 1975 as Porsche’s flagship, it brought turbocharging technology honed on the 917 race cars to the road, wrapped in the unmistakable widened bodywork with flared arches and the iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler. From 1978 the engine grew to 3.3 litres and gained an intercooler, lifting output to 300 hp and cementing the car’s reputation as the fastest production car of its day. Its explosive turbocharged delivery earned the 930 a formidable reputation and an enduring mystique that few sports cars can match.
By 1985 the 3.3-litre Turbo had matured into a well-sorted, immensely capable grand tourer that still delivers one of the most thrilling driving experiences in the classic Porsche catalogue. The 930 has long since achieved blue-chip collector status, with air-cooled Turbos forming a cornerstone of any serious Porsche collection. This example, benefiting from documented specialist attention to its turbocharging system and exhaust, offers an enthusiast the chance to acquire an icon of the analogue supercar age.
