The Porsche 911 turbo is today a true icon, the second generation of which has indeed had the privilege of remaining in the catalog for 12 years! Amazing longevity and still incredible charisma for this 3.3L version that we never tire of rediscovering with nostalgia.​

The origins of the first production 911 Turbo lie in the engines of the Porsche 917 current in CanAm since 1972.

These are equipped with a flat12 turbocharged which allows them to dominate the competition.

​

In 1973 Porsche therefore presented at Paris show a turbocharged prototype, which foreshadows its second generation 911. This was marketed in 1974, its final turbo version was revealed, although in the meantime the first oil shock.

Depending on its origins, and to follow the sporting and commercial success of the Carrera RS of the first generation, this version is first designed as a homologation version of the turbo engine in competition, and as such, Porsche initially plans to produce only 500 examples.

But the success of the model will very quickly make them renounce any limitation on production.

​

In 1977, Porsche revised the engine and increased it to 3.3L and 300 hp (code 930/60) and added an air-air intercooler to solve the problem of the 3.0L 260 hp engine which was not equipped with a pressure relief valve. discharge, the driver had to perpetually anticipate the foot lift, because the residual pressure at the time the power was cut caused the engine to remain under load until 1/2 second after the foot lift.

Production of the model was stopped in 1989.
