As a former Porsche tech I can tell anyone who is interested in one of these, be sure you are pointed towards where you want to be when the turbo spools up. You’ll be there shortly.

[@mehranhaq8084]

gwynn romano quick question was there a major difference from the 86 vs 88 911 Porsche turbo??

[@mehranhaq8084]

@ Thanks Matt! Im looking at buying one - im not going to keep the car locked up, I am going to drive the hell out of it. I don't think its bad to buy anything over 50K in miles? It seems like you know this vehicle pretty well, whats your advise?

[@usuallyclueless4477]

it isn't called the widowmaker for nothing.

[@gwynnromano5881]

Mehran Haq You’re testing the memory banks here. As I recall there was not. Most of the changes to the 930 happened when it was reintroduced to the US market, primarily for emissions regulations. It still had the four speed transmission. It was more civilized but it could still bite you in the rump if you got careless or ran out of talent. I believe the last year in the US was 1989 and that did have a five speed.

[@cloudinfo820]

What is the reliability like on these? Im looking at an 89 supersport targa with 79k miles

My dad drove his from Croydon to Gatwick Airport.At 150 mph the front started to lift up, and the steering got light, he backed off and went home.We put two bags of cement in the front went back to the motorway and did 163 mph.Door mirrors folded flat.Happy days. 👍 👍

Thanks showing your lifestyle off!

[@threesixty4486]

Ah this brings back memories! Especially the sound.. I remember borrowing an '85 4-speed version of the turbo from my employer in my early twenties. What a boy's dream. I remember the clutch being more like an on/off switch and the first time i took it out i spinned out right away on a wet road when the turbo kicked in while trying to get some power out of the engine. A few years ago i traced down the car to a Porsche club here in Holland and got the current owner's info. If i ever get the room to store it properly i will adopt her. I just have to remember to bring an extra pair of undies for my first drive.

911 has always been my favorite sports car, just like the one you have. Closest I ever got to owning one was a used 1977 924 and later on a brand new 2006 350Z red. I swear after I lowered and put 305's on the rear, that 350Z would not now matter how hard I try squeal the tires around corners. Stuck like glue.

[@tjaartjacobs5546]

Uncle Harry forgot to mention the burnt oil smell of the 930 engine after a hard boost or long drive.... This is the car that forever changed my view on transport. A car was no longer an object from getting from point A to B.... It was a expression of the Gentleman driving it. Sunday Morning waking up and peaking into the garage seeing my dad and my uncle's 930 3.3 Turbo & 3.2 Carrera standing there was a privilege. I fear i will never again experience an old 911 air cooled Sechszylinder engine in any form. Only now sitting here in my diesel euro box do i realize the privilege i had growing up as a kid

[@DoctorDARKSIDE]

Absolutely fantastic 911!!!! And awesome video as usual Harry!!!

[@davisharr]

I had the opportunity to drive a 1989 911 Turbo with a 5 speed two years ago, it was a factory M505 SlantNose car, guards red, paint matched Fuchs wheels, just a stunning perfect car. I was working at the time, so I was incredibly careful, never really got it into boost much of at all in the short drive, but it was incredible. The sound, the look, the feeling, what a damn car! I can only dream that one day I will get the opportunity to drive one and really let the waste-gate crack open on a back road!!

[@byf43]

Excellent video. Loved the detail showing the rev counter to demonstrate the turbo lag. The interior of a 911 is actually quite durable and yes the doors are heavy and feel solid. The pedals you get used to. They're part of the car's identity. The thermostat regulated ventilation system is not unique for the Turbo. It was in the non turbo cars as well. It was first introduced in 1978 models. The round door knobs were there to make it harder to break into the car. When the car is locked the doorlock pins disappear into the door trim. That way a thief would have to reach further into the car to open in. When I sit in a 911 I instantly feel "at home". The car is a bit strange compared to other more normal cars but everything in it is well thought through and well made. And when you hear the deep roar mixed with the sound of the aircooling fan it's wonderful. In spite of the non adjustable steering wheel the seating position is good. Thanks for a great video.

Oh Harry! Watched all 23 mins! (kinda long in comparison to most YT vids, but oh so rewarding). I had the ubiquitous '911 turbo' poster on my bedroom wall so watching your review evoked a huge smile. Fast forward 30+ years and I am the proud owner of a (similarly colored) Iris Blue 993. I've owned it 10 years and I still feel like I'm 'introducing' myself to 'her' every time I drive. Speaking of which, no matter where I go, surrounded by BMW's, Benz's, Audi's & similar ilk, my 993 *always* turns heads, yeah, even when it's parked. Keep your turbo, Harry, and *enjoy*!

The 911's until they became water-cooled were quite fun cars (mostly due to the unique engine sounds with the cams and timing chains and the enthralling exhaust note). My favorite is an early model, like a 1967 911S with the carbs (either Solex or Weber, not sure which were on that car, although I believe the latter). The 1975 Carerra RS cars are quite amazing, but the 930 is one which will always be the supreme example of the marque. I've never pulled the trigger on owning one, each situation had a different reason, but I've driven them and enjoyed every moment. Fun video with that late 930. The 911s are very expensive these days, but it seems the prices are dropping slightly. When you own one, you need to enjoy its quirks and the superb handling and noise. They should not be "garage queens" but driven as much as possible (cheaper to maintain that way, as well). Beautiful cars... classics.

Reverend Eslam i would have a 993 turbo over 3 aventadors, anyday!

[@bcsngan]

Reverend Eslam laith bilbeisi Agreed. Monetary value aside, I would take a 993 turbo over an aventador.. Easily.. Not being trolls or anything, the 911 invokes way more of an enjoyable driver's experience for me rather than the aventador's "Look at me I'm rich bitch" personae.

[@laithb]

bcsngan well said, when i look at most of today's rich and fabulous' garage and house pictures, you see multiple ferraris, a rolls royce, and a lambo, that just shows that these people only care about flash and cash, rather than the engineering feat of the vehicle. I understand its a matter of taste and opinion, but the rich have no taste, and no value for money... another example, i give a lot more respect and attention to someone driving a BMW M5 than someone in a gallardo.

This is such a great video of the 930. It's my dream to own one of these someday. Would you recommend getting a 70s non-intercooled one or a late model 930 like yours? Which one do you think is more fun to drive?

[@harrysgarage]

Michael Klein Best value are the 3.3litre Coupe versions, 78-88, a 5-speed like mine carries a slight premium. Early 3.0litre, non-intercooled 930 are now collector items and priced accordingly. They are a bit lighter than a 3.3 930 but the turbo delivery is even baggier. The only reason I'd pick one over a 3.3 is for investment reasons, rather than how it drives.

Dear Sir Harry, the very reason that the later famous Ferdinand Porsche thought of having an engine in the back of the car, is not - as you suggest - to have a compact power-unit and lots of interiorspace for the occupants, but... young Ferdinand was an apprentice engineer at the pre-war Tatra factory in Kopřivnice, in the region Moravia of TsechoSlovakia. Now situated in Czech Republic, near the border of Slovakia, and the region where my darling wife comes from. Ferdinand had a few very talented teachers at Tatra that were pioneers of building cars with air-cooled rear-engines, just think of the famous Tatra-plan. Not a shy person, Ferry 'borrowed' their designs in the pre-war years to present a 'KdF-wagen' ( Kraft-durch-Freude ) to a certain Mr. A. Hitler, himself a lover of automobiles. This Mr. H. gave permission to Mr. Porsche to start manufacturing prototypes of the KdF wagen, later to be well-known as the People's Car, or Volkswagen. The rest, as they say, is history and led in the end to the 911, of which I am a proud owner too! Mine is a 1982 Carrera SC, 3.0 and pre-G50 gearbox. Just some facts: Porsche GmbH paid patent fees to Tatra ( now Skoda) until 1972 I am told for using their basic designs. Ferdinand Porsche was born in - now - Vratislavice, before the war known as Maffersdorf. That is about 6 km. from our home in Liberec, CZ. His family Porsche tombe on the local cemetary is visited by me and some 911 friends every year. You are very kindly invited to come along next year with your gorgeous 911 Turbo. You'll love the driving here in Ceská Republika. Love your channel and way of no-nonsense presenting. Keep it up!

One of the very best car videos I've watched on KZbin. The infectious enthusiasm of the presenter and the camera work are second to none.

[@armancz]

Haryy, LOVE your videos, but please get a microphone, if your a foreigner its hard to understand everything you say.

[@eillekeillek]

I have owned my 89 5 speed 930 for 24 years, it is an 89 with 38K. never been painted or driven in the rain. It is 2 from the showroom" condition. I drive it no more than 500 miles a year and enjoy every inch of it. The performance through the gears is outstanding, from a standing start not so. Oh guards red with two tone grey leather interior. Harry speaks with love and affection for the model, rightly so.

[@robertyoung1777]

Great car. Beautiful town and countryside. This video give a real sense of the visceral quality of the car! Thank you.

[@BulletproofGOAT]

Harry, you sexy sexy man.

[@UDPride]

Great review. Ive had my '88 930 for 13yrs and I still mix up the sunroof switch for the mirror toggle switch. The opening/closing of a 930 door is something of legend with the sound it makes -- like a rifle bolt. I can assure everyone its not an urban myth. The 4-spds up through '88 were notchier than the G50, but the gears are so long you hardly have to shift. Third gear will take you from 30mph to 130mph.

Is it just me who loves his house

[@davidthomas1424]

No!

[@steeltrap3800]

The father of a friend of mine had a 1980 3.3 turbo 911. 4 speed manual that did 100km/h in 1st and 160km/h in 2nd. He used to let me drive it, believe it or not. Far and away the greatest driving experience I've ever had, even over his 2.7 Carrera that itself was huge fun but considerably different from the turbo. Happy memories.

[@SMSmith]

After seeing this i feel like i can build one on my own.

[@HugoEscudeiro]

+Siba Sugar Obviously, you never driven a 911. The build quality is awesome, its like a mix of racing car with a very light tank. Regards

[@SMSmith]

+Hugo Escudeiro Oliveira How is it obviously to you?

[@HugoEscudeiro]

+Siba Sugar Because of your statement. How could you build one? No offense... Rather funny actually.

[@SMSmith]

+Hugo Escudeiro Oliveira Now you get it? It is supposed to be funny.

[@HugoEscudeiro]

+Siba Sugar I guess I'm a slow learner ;)

[@SNaKEBLiSkEN]

Perfect. I am 6,2 as well. Now I can judge how I would fit in one of those sweet cars you zoom around in.

[@beeboy6967]

I've known Harry for 23:03 minutes & I already like him more than Clarkson !Mind you I'm a fellow Porsche 911 owner & a little biased.

[@apexxxx10]

Beeboy69 *Clarkson has retired! What took him so long? Top Gear is history. I recommend DONUT MEDIA the best KZbin **automotive.Trust** me! Bangkok Johnnie CarSanook Media Thaimaa*

[@B88v88B]

I saw the promo video for this channel in which Harry said he's going to review all of his cars and amongst them was this 930 turbo. In the last few days I was actually asking myself what happened to his 911 and why he hasn't made a video about it. Glad to see that he finally found the time to do it, the 930 was the car that made porsche an icon in the 80's and it's directly responsible for what they are today. Happy to see a "owners perspective" on it, I was hoping for this video for a while now.

[@evilelf5967]

lost count of the amount of 911 roll cages i have fitted,74 sc...78 turbo...and a sweet kremer twin turbo....not my ideal car...z4 3.0 SI...enough for me.

[@robsteries]

I don't know why but these are one of the most beautiful doors ever built. Always loved them the black fine line over the window..

[@TheMccunn1]

Chris Harris would love this video

[@apexxxx10]

James Petchey *Has he retired yet?*

[@andrewwebb9794]

Absolute class, there’s no substitute for knowledge & enthusiasm, which Harry has in abundance.

[@Staayreal]

Just toss a handful rocks into the tree next time.

[@johntechwriter]

Brian Smith As a British gentleman with a country estate Harry should have a shotgun at the ready. I've said it earlier in this thread: That's not a bird, it's Schmee giving his two cents' worth. Harry has my unconditional permission blast him to smithereens.

[@zatozatoichi7920]

I threw a hatchet once, from the balcony, enhanced with a berserker roar. Little fucker went 0 dB instantly. : D

[@RichBaggio]

That is possibly my most favourite car and the nearest I'll get to having a go in one. Thanks Harry.

[@SeventeenPointFive]

Fantastic channel. Know absolutely nothing about cars but learning a lot thanks to the great detail in these videos.

[@geoffreyallen888]

I had an MGB roadster with spoke wheels and chrome bumpers. It smelled great in the cockpit and under the bonnet too and on those evenings when the air is a little moister and denser it just felt so good to drive. Great for girls! A very pleasant drive rather than challenging but I know that I wouldn't have the talent to exploit or enjoy a 911.

[@stevenbarton5179]

this 911 is stunning the model the colour,an 80s icon.superb.

[@robcousins231]

Love that car....Harry gives so much info about the cars, like Jay Leno in that way, goes into the history and why things were done a particular way.

[@EvilUnderTone]

I was lucky to drive one of these around for a few weeks back in the early 1990's. It was I believe the last 911 Turbo they made. It was RHD in minerva blue with cream leather and blue piping to match the exterior colour. Very Don Johnson! When that turbo cuts in I dare you not to grin from ear to ear! Awesome car. Loved it.
