The Car That Actually Killed You! | Porsche 930 Turbo Review

This week we get the keys to an absolute icon! The Porsche 911 930 Turbo! Or shall we call it the original widowmaker?!
This car has been supplied to us by @noshisgram so we would like to say a massive thanks for the opportunity.
This car was one of the last with the 4 speed gearbox until the G50 gearbox came along! The 930 turbo was in production for almost 15 years! Which nowadays that just wouldn’t happen but 911’s just do not age one bit do they?

Legendary car, legendary owner!

Harry’s Garage has a great vid on this, too. Shocking consumption but great car. Another excellent video from you, Max. Thanks.

Thanks Christopher, happy you enjoyed it!

Harry posted a follow up video with the car on the dyno - the consumption wasn't that bad, he was calculating KMs instead of miles due to to the speedo dial. Check it out...

Max. Another one that You really enjoyed! And yes the 80's pin up Porsche. Oh how things have changed. What a classic. [Well i googled for a song..... i was thinking Duran Duran, Rio but that was '84? So go 'All she wants is.. exactly! A Porsche 911! Echoes of Miami Vice! 🤣🤣😏

Brilliant experience to drive, but punishes the ignorant or disrespectful.

My country Malaysia's top banker Azman Hashim had a nasty accident in one back in the 80s..... he was very lucky.... only broke one of his legs.....

It’s reputation is the sum of poor tier tech and bad drivers

Una Turbo vera deve avere i Fuchs con petali neri... altrimenti sembra una delle tante 2.7 o SC sparafangate in economia

[@robreelick4879]

It’s not the power in that car that kills you. It’s off the power in a corner. It’s called weight transfer, trailing throttle oversteer. That’s what gets you.

[@pjay3028]

Yes, coupled with the rear wheel geometry of the semi trailing arms causing toe out during lift off..... ☠️ That's why they developed the Weisach axle for the 928.

@@DrivenPlus apt tune

[@luccac6247]

Choice of music you say from the 80s? Phill Collin’s I can feel it coming in the air tonight . Straight out of the Miami Vice soundtrack. What a work of engineering. Porsche did know what they were doing. Great looking coupe. My Porsche of choice from a younger age was the 944 Turbo. Oh to be young again. Great video thanks for sharing

[@DrivenPlus]

Great choice of song! Thanks for the comment 👍

[@MrLg55555]

Absolutely dreadful car... A Beetle with way to much power... Shockingly poor handling at best... Anyone who says differently, has very little knowledge of driving a fast car quickly and very poor driving skills...

[@aircooled.obsession]

Fantastic car and enjoyed the video, thanks Max & Noshi. One point i think you missed is the car's pendulum effect, due to the car's geography of weight, the physics dictate the back end wants to go 1st. So if somebody applied to much throttle mid corner, their nervous lift-off the pedal can cause the back end to spin out. So it was this effect that gave the car its 'widowmaker' status ☠

[@DrivenPlus]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the information 😃

[@peteovington2428]

Famous car for al the wrong reasons then! lol Nice neutral color though.. The red 911s of that era seem to bring much unwanted attention imo. Great one channel presentation. Good on ya.
