Porsche 930 Turbo
In the ’70s, Porsche introduced a new generation called 930, which featured the same basic layout, a new design, and bigger engines. But the real news was the 1975 930 Turbo. Faced with government-imposed restrictions, Porsche needed something to boost power and performance while retaining normal displacement. Turbocharging proved the perfect solution (via Porsche).
The 930 Turbo boosted 260 hp from its 3.0-liter flat-six engine. Along with signature air cooling, a big rear wing, and a wider rear track. It was notorious for its ill-handling capabilities. But it had an exhilarating performance at a time when performance cars were almost nonexistent. It started a legendary breed of lightning-fast Porsches. As a testament to its danger, the 930 Turbo had a nickname that perfectly describes its violent nature – The Widow Maker.
