Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 Coupé - A Tribute
The story of the 911 Turbo begins in 1974. It was not the most auspicious moment: times were hard and the world was in an energy crisis. Yet the first turbocharged 911 burst onto the scene.
The response was initially mixed because it took some time to understand its innovative principle. The principle of efficiency.
Its 3-litre displacement and 6-cylinder Boxer engine turned the sports car world on its head.
The 911 became the embodiment of the super sports car.
It became the king of the Autobahn. (Nerds check the license plate
)
Turbo drivers love the feeling of the elemental force, the jolt in the back when the turbocharger kicks in.
Today one of the earlier 911 Turbo models is part of the display in the Porsche Museum.
A very special 911 Turbo 3.0 with a special styling.
It’s the car of Ferry Porsche, painted in his favorite color: Amazon Green Metallic.
It was built in 1976.
The 6-cylinder Boxer engine hits a peak power of 260hp (191kW).
With a top track speed of 155 mph (250 km/h) the rear is the side that others saw most often.

The non-intercooled cars are great and have blown up in value. You could buy a nice one for mid 20s about 5 years ago. Now good luck finding a clean car under 60 to 70K miles that's had no accidents or hack job mechanical work for less than mid 40s.. And anyone who speaks about turbo lag in modern cars ought to drive one of those. It feels like 500hp, and since they have 911S brakes, they can't stop for shit.
