Porsche engineers tested both the 2.7 and 3.0-litre engines, with the 3.0 air-cooled flat-six (that could trace its origins back to the 911 RSR) being chosen as it produced more torque low down. By attaching a Khnle, Kopp and Kausch (KKK) turbocharger, the 930 was the most powerful production Porsche thus far and, suddenly, the 911 was a supercar.The production-ready 911 Turbo was shown at the Paris show in autumn 1974, and not surprisingly in an era when turbocharging was seen as rather exotic, captivated the world's motoring press. Rightly, it was billed as a supremely fast and luxurious flagship model, combining ballistic performance and head-turning looks with air conditioning, electric windows and other creature comforts. In 1977/78, capacity went up from 3.0 to 3.3 litres and an air-to-air intercooler was positioned under the rear spoiler. The spoiler was re-profiled and raised slightly to make room for the intercooler assembly, and this meant saying goodbye to the whale-tail' and welcoming the equally distinctive tea-tray'.Supplied new by Charles Follett Limited, London and first registered on 01 February 1985, this 911 Turbo had beenspecified in traditionalGuards Redbut rather than stick to black leather, the 911s first owner chose Linen leather piped in Guards Red resulting in a much brighter cockpit.Today this beautiful example shows just 76,943 miles on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing and this issupported by an extremely detailed and comprehensive history file.Within thehistory file isthe original Porsche service book, fully stamped, with an additional book containing further entries, no less than 20 services recorded.
