27. Porsche 930 Turbo
The Porsche 930 Turbo was the perfect sports car for a young mobster in the ’70s and ’80s. A new, red or black, Porsche 930 Turbo was the best way to show off wealth and class. Just imagine those South Florida drug lords and their Porsches. When Porsche presented it in 1975, the 930 Turbo was the perfect car for the gangster scene.
When Porsche introduced the new generation named the 930, it featured the same basic layout. Although the design was new and improved and it came with bigger engines, the real news was the 1975 930 Turbo. Faced with government-imposed restrictions, Porsche needed something to boost power and performance. However, it still had to retain the normal displacement, so turbocharging was the perfect solution.
The 930 Turbo developed 260 HP from its 3.0-liter flat-six engine and came with signature air cooling, a big rear wing, and a wider rear track. It was notorious for its ill-handling capabilities, but the 930 Turbo delivered an exhilarating performance at a time when performance cars were nearly nonexistent. The 930 was the beginning of a legendary breed of lighting-fast Porsches and turbocharged sports cars.
