Hugely modified and beautifully presented throughout
The Appeal
Back in the 80’s the standard Porsche 911 Turbo helped to coin the name ‘supercar’ with its iconic design, powerful turbo-charged engine and huge whale-tail fixed rear spoiler helping to keep everything under control at high speeds.
This particular 930 Turbo has been modified extensively to deliver shattering performance to rival the adrenalin rush you’d normally associate with riding the fastest of ‘superbikes’.
An 8-year programme of development with its owner, 930 Sport, DP Motorsport and a huge injection of cash believed to be in the region of £200,000, finally created the ultimate 911 street weapon that has over 600 BHP at the rear wheels, massive torque and a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds, and you’re still in first gear! Second gear pulls to 100 MPH with third seeing 170 MPH, with its fourth and top gear pulling you on to its top speed of around 240 MPH.
Not much of the original car remains, the body shell and doors are original but then just about everything else has been modified or lightened in pursuit of ultimate performance.
This unique and very special 911 has spent the last 7 years in a heated garage as part of a larger private collection, being started, run regularly and doing very little mileage.
If you’re an adrenalin junkie looking for the ultimate driving thrill this beautifully prepared and presented 911 Turbo should provide all of that and a great deal more besides.

The Summary
The 930 Porsche 911 Turbo is already a legend and icon in the world of motoring and this very special modified edition is perhaps the ultimate expression of the model, and very probably the fastest 930 Turbo you’re ever likely to stumble across.
With its eye-catching colour and shattering performance this is not likely to appeal to the shy retiring type but if you love adrenalin inducing high-speed thrills then this car is very unlikely to disappoint its next lucky owner.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
