History:
Introduced in the mid-1970s and refined over the years, the Porsche 911 Turbo quickly became one of the most recognisable and thrilling sports cars in the world. The 1988 model, part of the final years of the original 930 series, featured a 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six engine producing around 300 horsepower. This allowed the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds, an astonishing figure for its time. Its combination of aggressive styling, rear-engine layout, and turbocharged performance made it both a road-going marvel and a challenging driver’s car. Today, the 1988 911 Turbo remains a highly prized collector’s vehicle, admired for its raw driving experience and unmistakable design.
