Nope, this isn’t Nr. 14. This is CFB Registry Nr. 15. This is the second 1976 Carrera Turbo delivered to the United States. This 911 rocks a solid dark blue interior. The 1976 Turbo 930 came with a 3.0L Flat-Six engine putting out 240 Hp and was a milestone in automotive history.

This is the second featured US-930 on this page. This car was the press car for the Los Angeles Motor Show.
To promote the 930 for the US-American market.

The Porsche 930 3.0L earned the nickname “Widowmaker” due to its challenging handling characteristics. Its rear-engine layout, combined with early turbo lag, made power delivery unpredictable, often unsettling the car mid-corner. Many drivers, especially those inexperienced with rear-engined turbo cars, lost control under sudden throttle changes. This reputation was further reinforced by numerous accidents involving the 930, solidifying its legendary but dangerous status.
