The Porsche 930 is a legend to enthusiasts all over the world, impressed by its incredible power and stunning looks. This Classic automobile was Porsche’s top-of-the-line model throughout its intermittent production from 1975-1989. Known to every car enthusiast simply as the turbo, the 930 was always among the fastest sports car money could buy.

 

 

Certainly the ultimate Porsche in the 930 series culminated with the ’89 turbo Cabriolet. Striking the perfect balance between old school and jet age; it was first to incorporate technological advancements which dramatically increased horsepower and improved road handling and the last year to feature the "classic" body style; free of complex emissions equipment, stability control, and other electronic systems that limit the driver's input.

 

 

But the biggest improvement for 1989 was the long-awaited GETRAG G-50 5-speed transmission. It was based on the transmission used in the 3.2 Carrera, but featured stronger cases and modified gear ratios to handle the turbocharged engine. A mere 600 U.S. spec Turbo Cabriolets were built in 1989 but this Monster Porsche was special ordered with the astonishing 400 HP twin plug engine through Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, FL.

What a find!

 

In January 1989, VIN * WP0EB0937KS070423* one of only 600 left the factory gates of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, West Germany. Shortly after, production of the 930 ended forever.

 

 

Selling new on March 11, 1989 at Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville FL.

 

 

The current owner is a mature, prominent businessman who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality Porsches.

 

 

During this ownership, (less than 800 miles ago) the car received an extensive $42K+ engine rebuild, a brand new convertible top, 17’ reproduction Fuchs wheels with Bridgestone Potenza radials and an upgraded audio system. All receipts are available in PDF and can be emailed or faxed to you.

 

 

Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted Turbo, one that has always enjoyed a most beneficial climate and is pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service and upgrades money can buy.

 

Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out!

 


 

We start our inspection with the trunk, since this area can deliver valuable clues about a Porsche's true condition.

 

 

Original tire inflation compressor kit is still present.

 

 

Below the perfect gray felt mat, everything looks pristinely original.

 

 

XD400/4 4-Channel Amplifier powers the Kenwood KIV-BT900 AM/FM/USB HD audio system W/Bluetooth JL Audio and 8 Speakers. The STREET FIRE CDI Multi-Spark Ignition System brings state-of-the-art performance to the twin plug system.

 

 

Looking forward, the naked trunk reveals the naked truth.

 

 

From the untouched VREDESTEIN Space Master spare and complete tool roll, to the corrosion free battery area; everything is as virginal as it gets.

 

 

Concours ready, literally.

 

 

And yes, the white paint is 100% original!

 

 

To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today.

 

 

This turbo has never suffered any damage; there are virtually no door dings or rock chips to report.

 

 

Hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the turbo's pampered existence for the past 25 years.

 

 

The brand new convertible top was just fitted. The canvas boot is a very desirable option.

 

 

Power feature opens and closes the top perfectly


 

 

Added (OEM Porsche) side markers and rear fog lamp are a nice Euro touch for the US Porsche.

 

 

Other turbo options include power brakes, power/heated mirrors, power windows and headlight washer jets.

 

 

The lowered stance, deep front valance and large rear spoiler are no visual gimmicks, mind you.

 

 

With acceleration from zero to sixty in the sub 5-second range and a top speed of over 180mph, aerodynamics becomes a vital part of survival.

 

 

So are the brakes, by the way, hugely sized multi-caliper units grabbing drilled discs, derived straight from the famous Porsche 917 Can-Am race car.

 

 

Larger 17” replica FUCHS forged alloy wheels are a dramatic improvement in both looks and performance on the Turbo

 

 

…especially when fitted with fresh Bridgestone Potenza RE11 255/40R17s, out back and 225/45R17s in front.

 

 

While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath because more important than shiny paint and sparkling wheels is a healthy undercarriage.

 

 

This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion.

 

 

Area below trunk, including the front suspension pan, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle, with all factory finishes preserved in reference quality.

 

 

Perfectly undisturbed, the undercarriage displays all the factory-applied coatings, including some Zuffenhausen-generated paint overspray.

 

 

Again, there's no rust, no flaking, no damage, just the all-original finishes.

 

 

Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of rust, or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.

 

 

Peeking inside this Turbo, luxury is abundant.

 

 

This Carrera comes with the full leather interior that exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate!

 

 

The inviting, factory optioned 8-way power seats will easily accommodate a 6'6"-tall NBA player.

 

 

Italian cow hides grace virtually every surface inside: dash, front and rear seats, door panels, and side panels; all this is complemented by deep velour carpeting and plush mats exclusive to the Turbo.

 

 

Wire inside glove box provides plug-in for iPhone or iPod device.

 

 

The upgraded Kenwood KIV-BT900 AM/FM/USB HD with JL Audio XD400/4 features:

·         3" Full Color LCD Display

·         iPod(R)/iPhone(R) Video & Audio Playback

·         Built-In Parrot(R) Bluetooth(R) For Hands-Free Cellular Phone Operation

·         Video Output For Back Seat Monitor

·         Ripping From USB To Internal Memory (512 Mb)

 

 

Wireless remote located between the seats.

 

 

The iconic 911 cockpit featuring five large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers are a timeless design.  You can't improve upon perfection!

 

 

And the 059,401 miles shown on the 6-digit odometer are original!

 

 

Fully optioned with climate control, ice cold A/C, power seats, windows and heated mirrors, everything works perfectly, of course.

 

 

Books, manuals, and documents found inside the red vinyl pouch include the owner's manual, maintenance book, and radio instruction manual. There's also a spare key set.

 

 

Headliner shown from the inside of this brand new power convertible top is pristine. Above and below - top seals tight as a drum with no leaks or unusual wind noises.

 

 

The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life.

 

 

Factory-prescribed, large whale tail rear spoiler feeds huge air-to-air intercooler with all the fresh oxygen it needs.

 

 

How about a quick peek under the deck lid?

 

 

Inside the toothbrush-clean engine bay, lives Porsche's fabled 3.3-liter turbo power plant. This spectacular twin plug engine develops an astonishing 400 Teutonic horses @5,500 rpm. Even the factory decals are still in place.

 

 

This turbo runs super strong and displays no ill manners whatsoever--like smoking, oil piddling, or drinking.

 

 

12 leads from the distributer ignite the dual plug, 6-cylinder engine.

 

Frog's eye view. Notice stainless steel exhaust system.

 

Engine's bottom end, dry and clean.

 

 

 

Not a single oil leak to note. Dry as a bone and clean as a whistle.

 

 

With a $42,000 overhaul in the last 800 miles, the new owner can be assured of trouble free driving, now and way into the future.  Fly in and drive home; even accross the country, if that is where you live.

 

Drivability:

 

The car runs, drives, handles, and stops flawlessly. Docile around town but explodes on the track. Above 4,500rpm, it sounds like a STIHL on steroids and it accelerates like a crazed ape.

 

 

Driving this collectible, exotic Porsche is truly an unforgettable, uniquely pleasurable experience. Its low mileage and full engine overhaul certainly provides an extra dimension of assurance and satisfaction: there are no squeaks or rattles; this 930 feels as solid as a rock!

 

 

What better way to enjoy the landscape-blurring speeds of the 930 than with the roof open and the wind in your hair? Throughout their production, the alluring turbo-boosted Cabriolets have always commanded greater prices than their solid-top counterparts.

 

 

Here's your chance to acquire one of the last, first-generation Porsche 930 supercars. The Turbo delivers everything its aggressive exterior promises: extreme driving pleasures, undiminished prestige, and unlimited appreciation potential.

 

 

A scant 600 U.S. turbo Cabs were made in '89 featuring the five-speed transmission. Today they are the most sought-after of the early Porsche 930 turbos. Almost three decades later, finding another rare twin plug example like this one will be next to impossible. As always, the best of the best are destined to appreciate steadily.      

 

 

Presently, we have a clear, CA Title. Local sales tax, DMV license and transfer fees apply to residents in CA. All questions must be answered and all inspections must be completed PRIOR TO BIDDING.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
