1983 Porsche 930 Turbo: A Pristine Example of Porsche’s Iconic Performance Legend

Few cars in automotive history capture the essence of raw, unfiltered performance and style quite like the 1983 Porsche 930 Turbo. Born from Porsche's motorsport pedigree, the 930 was the marque's first foray into turbocharged road cars, setting the standard for performance, engineering, and design for years to come.

This particular example is a stunning embodiment of that legacy — a factory-original, matching-numbers specimen with only 71,000 miles on the odometer and a meticulously documented service history.

Mechanical Excellence: 3.3-Litre Turbocharged Power

At the heart of this 930 Turbo beats the original, matching-numbers 3.3-litre, air-cooled flat-six engine. Equipped with a KKK turbocharger and an intercooler, this engine delivers a punchy 300 horsepower, catapulting the car to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds — blisteringly quick for the era.

Mated to the factory-correct 4-speed ZF transaxle, this drivetrain offers the visceral experience Porsche enthusiasts crave, with the unmistakable turbo lag giving way to an exhilarating surge of power.

The meticulous care given to this car’s mechanicals is evident in its impeccable service history. From the well-known Hamiltons Porsche to the expert hands at Auto Coupe under Phil Hearns, this 930 has been maintained to the highest standards.

The detailed service folder accompanying the car serves as a testament to its exceptional condition and diligent upkeep over the decades.

Guards Red Brilliance: Iconic Porsche Paint

Finished in the highly desirable Guards Red paint, this Porsche 930 Turbo is a showstopper. The paint is highly original, retaining its vibrant luster and depth.

The car's body panels are straight and true, while the floor pans remain exceptionally clean and solid — a rarity even among well-preserved examples.

The unmistakable flared fenders, whale-tail rear spoiler, and classic Fuchs wheels wrapped in high-performance rubber complete the quintessential 930 look.

Interior Perfection: Black with Red Pinstripe Accents

Inside, this 930 continues to shine. The black interior, accentuated by red pinstripe fabric, is beautifully preserved and showcases its factory design that still feels timeless today.

The steering wheel, dashboard, gauges, and switchgear remain in fantastic condition, reflecting the careful ownership and preservation of this car.

A desirable sunroof adds to the driving experience, letting in just the right amount of sunlight on spirited drives.

A Collector’s Dream

With its low mileage, factory-original condition, matching numbers, and impeccable service history, this 1983 Porsche 930 Turbo represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

These cars are more than just a thrilling drive — they are icons of Porsche’s legacy and are becoming increasingly difficult to find in such pristine, unrestored condition.

For those seeking a piece of Porsche history that embodies performance, style, and provenance, this 1983 Porsche 930 Turbo delivers in every aspect.

It’s a machine that demands to be driven, admired, and respected for years to come — a true classic that has earned its place in the pantheon of automotive greats.
