DESCRIPTION

Initially called the “911 Turbo”, by the time it reached production in 1975 the model was called the “turbo” with internal designation 930. The Turbo didn’t officially arrive on North American shores until the 1976 model year. Reworked to be emissions friendly, the North American model was officially coined the “Turbo Carrera” by marketing. Porsche continued to produce the 3.0-liter 930 through the 1977 model year, before switching to an intercooled 3.3-liter engine. In total there were 2,819 of the first generation 3.0-liter 930 Turbo Carrera produced, with only 1,237 originally destined for the United States.
