The Porsche 930, also known as the 911 Turbo, was one of the most thrilling yet dangerous Porsche cars during its run. It featured a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine that produced up to a whopping 300 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. The 930 was also known for its distinctive wide body design, which allowed for wider wheels and tires to improve handling and traction. The 930’s raw power and performance made it stand out amongst other sports cars, but there were consequences driving it. Due to its acceleration and handling, it was notorious for giving its driver a difficult and dangerous (or pumped up) driving experience, earning the Porsche 930 its infamous nickname, the “Widowmaker”. Despite the possible dangers of its performance, the Porsche 930 still remains a beloved classic among Porsche enthusiasts and collectors and thrill-seeking drivers.
