Buying a 1979 Porsche 930

1979 Porsche 930The 1979 Porsche 930, a true classic representing the finest in Porsche engineering and design, is easily recognizable by a number of distinguishing characteristics. Among these characteristics are a boxier Tea Tray rear spoiler, a boost gauge on the dash, an intercooler atop the engine and larger brake discs and calipers. More commonly known as the Porsche 911 Turbo, the classic 1979 Porsche 930 encompassed all of the changes that came down the line in 1978 after a very successful initial launch in 1975. The 3.3L 911 Turbo is about what youd expect from a second-generation example a faster, better stopping car than the previous 3.0L edition. Improvements also lead to even more impressive statistics. The changes in the 1979 model-year resulted in a 0.2 second drop in 0-60 times and 0.4 seconds off quarter mile times. The top speed also increased 9mph to 162mph, while bigger, more powerful brakes also meant shorter stopping distances and increased driver confidence. Quite simply, the 1979 Porsche 930 offers everything the 911 Turbo is known for: distinctive body shape, wide wheel arches, a large rear spoiler and legendary Porsche performance.
