The Porsche 930 Flatnose represents one of the most distinctive and exclusive interpretations of the iconic 911 Turbo, blending raw performance with unmistakable design rooted in motorsport heritage.

This particular example presents in an exceptionally desirable configuration, finished in Paint to Sample Nougat Brown, paired with a rich Mahogany Brown leather interior, perfectly capturing the bold yet elegant aesthetic of the era.

Showing 53,200 miles, the car is powered by the legendary 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six, delivering 296 horsepower (221 kW) through a 4-speed manual gearbox. True to the character of the 930, the driving experience is both engaging and demanding, with the unmistakable surge of turbocharged power that has defined the model’s reputation.

A particularly important aspect of this example is its fully matching numbers status (engine and transmission), combined with the rare distinction of retaining its entirely original paint – a combination seldom encountered on Flatnose cars today.

The Flatnose design itself draws direct inspiration from the dominant Porsche 935 race cars of the late 1970s. In response to strong demand from select clients, Porsche introduced the option 505, bringing this radical motorsport aesthetic to the road in extremely limited numbers.

At the time, this transformation was far from a simple option: the Flatnose conversion was carried out under the Porsche Sonderwunsch, involving extensive hand-finished modifications. Reflecting this exclusivity, option 505 was priced at exactly $23,244, positioning the car among the most expensive and bespoke Porsche offerings available to private clients in the early 1980s.

This particular car is furthermore specified with a comprehensive list of desirable factory options, including:
139 – Heated driver’s seat
158 – Blaupunkt radio
197 – Stronger battery
220 – Limited-slip differential
340 – Heated passenger seat
437 – Comfort seats
490 – Hi-Fi sound system
533 – Alarm system
650 – Electric sunroof
07154 – Wheel caps painted in body colour with Porsche crest

A particularly noteworthy element accompanying the car is the presence of rare factory-issued documentation specific to the Flatnose (option 505), including:
– The original factory repair manual dedicated to the Flatnose configuration
– The corresponding technical specification sheet for the Flatnose

Material of this nature is seldom retained with the car and provides valuable insight into the engineering and specificities of the Sonderwunsch-built Flatnose models.

Altogether, this Porsche 930 Flatnose represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, matching numbers example in a particularly refined and uncommon specification – a true collector’s piece from one of the most extravagant chapters in Porsche’s history.
