Highlights
- Turbocharged 3.3L air-cooled flat-6
- G50 5-speed manual
- Less than 4,000 verified miles
- Fully original condition
- US-spec example originally exported to Japan
- Clean CARFAX and documented history
Overview
This 1989 Porsche 930 Turbo, showing just 3,811 miles (6,133 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging, is finished in white over a black leather interior. A US-spec example delivered new to Japan, it remained there for decades before being exported to the UAE this year, with documented history supporting its remarkably low mileage.
As the final year of the 930, this example benefits from the desirable G50 5-speed manual paired with the turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six. Rated at 282 horsepower, it delivers the raw surge of boost that defined Porsche’s early turbocharged road cars, and required expert-level driving for maximum performance.
Offered in entirely original condition, this 930 Turbo captures the unfiltered character that made the model a legend. Between its final-year specification, preserved state, and unmistakable driving experience, it is truly a standout example of Porsche’s original turbocharged icon.
