1983 PORSCHE 930 TURBO

Few cars in automotive history encapsulate 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 new standards for performance, engineering, and design for years to come.

This particular example is a remarkable embodiment of that legacy—a matching-numbers specimen with only 71,222 miles on the odometer and a well documented service history.

Mechanical Excellence: 3.3-Litre Turbocharged Power

At the heart of this 930 Turbo is the original, matching-numbers 3.3-litre air-cooled flat-six engine. Equipped with a turbocharger and an intercooler, this engine delivered a potent 300 horsepower in standard form, catapulting the car to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds—an impressive feat for its era.

Mated to the factory 4-speed ZF transaxle, this drivetrain provides the visceral driving experience Porsche enthusiasts seek, with the trademark turbo lag giving way to an exhilarating surge of power.

The meticulous care given to this car’s mechanical components is evident in its documented service history. Accompanied by a comprehensive dossier of invoices, this 930 has been maintained to high standards, with the detailed service records and Porsche Service Manual testifying to its exceptional condition over the decades.

Guards Red Brilliance: Iconic Porsche Paint

Presented in the highly desired factory Guards Red paint, this Porsche 930 Turbo is a visual showstopper, with its paintwork finish retaining a vibrant luster and depth.

The body panels are straight and true, and the floor pans remain exceptionally clean, showing no signs of corrosion.

Its unmistakable flared fenders, whale-tail rear spoiler, and classic Fuchs wheels wrapped in high-performance tires complete the quintessential 930 Turbo supercar stance.

Interior Perfection: Black with Red Pinstripe Accents

Inside, this 930 is equally stunning. The factory black interior with its seating accented with red pinstripes, is beautifully preserved with only minor scuffing on the driver’s seat requiring correction.

The steering wheel, dashboard, gauges, and switchgear remain in excellent condition, reflecting the careful ownership and preservation this car has enjoyed.

The desirable factory sunroof enhances the driving experience, allowing just the right amount of air and sunlight during spirited drives.

A Collector’s Dream

Privately imported into Australia from the UK in 1988 at just 5 years old, this car has led a charmed life, passing through the hands of only four careful owners since new.

The current owner has cherished this car since acquiring it in late 2012, driving it for fewer than 2,000 miles. As part of a private collection, the car was reserved for special occasions, regularly started and stored alongside other exquisite vehicles.

With low mileage, matching numbers, and a comprehensive service history portfolio, this 1983 Porsche 930 Turbo presents a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

“With legendary air-cooled turbocharged performance, fantastic handling and an unfiltered mechanical connection, this highly cared for factory RHD 930 Turbo is a true drivers car and one of the most beautiful sculptured silhouettes in automotive history”.
