The 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 (930) is a rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured by Porsche.
Introduced in 1978, it is an upgraded version of the 911 Turbo 3.0 produced from 1975 to 1977. The new 930 model had its flat-six engine displacement increased to 3.3 liters and an intercooler was added as well, increasing engine output to around 300 bhp.
It was fitted with upgraded brakes, twin tailpipe exhaust, and its iconic "whale-tail" fixed plastic rear wing mounted with the sheet steel engine lid was re-designed, as it had to be enlarged to accommodate the intercooler.
The 930 would also be offered in Targa and Cabriolet body types in 1987, and received a 5-speed version in 1989, its last model year before being succeeded by the 964 generation.[1][2]

Description
“Turbocharged and Ready for Action”
Throughout its entire production run from 1975 to 1989 the Porsche 911 Turbo was the top of the range model from Porsche. Making use of turbocharging technology, which Porsche had begun experimenting with in the early 70's with the Porsche 917, the 911 Turbo was developed to be a direct competitor for the much more expensive and exclusive supercars of the era.
Although the car was no longer required as a homologation model, due to changes in the homologation rules, it became the basis for the 934 and 935 race cars. The car proved to be very fast, but also very demanding to drive. Its short wheel base, engine position and power delivery contributed to a tendency to oversteer that required a high level of skill to control.
A distinctive flared rear spoiler, wider rear arches and upgraded tyres were added to help increase grip and make the car more stable. The rear spoiler was later raised even more to allow enough space for the newer air-to-air intercooler which was added to increase power even further. Stopping performance was also improved by using brakes similar to those found on the successful Porsche 917 racecar.
