The Rare and Historic Porsche 930 Turbo for Sale by Magnus Walker: A Collector’s Dream

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 9, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

World famous Porsche collector Magnus Walker is selling one of his unique cars. The historic Porsche 930 Turbo has the rarer smaller flat six and is in a wonderful specification that has charmed those interested. It hasn’t sold yet, but it’s already worth millions.

Magnus Walker is one of the world’s most important personalities moving around the cult classic Porsche 911. The former fashion designer and now car collector originally from Sheffield, England attracted attention after he talked about his life in the American Los Angeles and his love for air-cooled Porsches in the documentary Urban Outlaw. In the past, this made him the star of the popular game Need For Speed, and Hot Wheels prepared his own series with more than 25 Englishmen inspired by cars from his personal collection.

And now the world has a unique chance to park a real Porsche by Magnus Walker in your garage. A quirky collector decided to sell his Porsche 930 Turbo, which went down in automotive history as the very first Porsche 911 Turbo. The community of enthusiasts for the Stuttgart brand still refers to it as the “widowmaker” because the combination of a turbocharger with a long delay and most of the weight sitting on the rear wheels requires an experienced driver’s hand.

However, they say that once you get the hang of it, you’re in for one of the best driving experiences ever. Magnus Walker bought a metallic green 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo in 2013. The important fact is that this particular car is from the last year of production when Porsche fitted the smaller 3-liter flat six to the model, which is significantly rarer than the later 3, 3 liter unit. Only 2,819 units were produced with the three-liter, while 18,770 were produced with the bigger heart.

Standard on the Porsche 930 Turbo to Magnus Walker are power-assisted disc brakes on all wheels, iconic 16″ Fuchs wheels, fog lights, headlight washers, decorative Turbo Strobe side stripes, power windows and power sunroof, whale tail rear spoiler, air conditioning and tartan interior trim.

Magnus Walker has taken good care of his turbocharged 911 as it underwent a major service this year. The clutch, ignition, oil line, new battery or tire are new. Cleaning the chassis with dry ice was also included. The British-American collector is also offering the car with a factory service manual, manufacturer’s literature, tool kit and jack, service records, magazines with the car and a production specification certificate from Porsche. Magnus Walker also appeared with this car in the documentary Turbo Fever.

Collector’s interest Magnus Walker’s Porsche 930 Turbo is for sale on the American server Bring a Trailer. The auction will end in five days, but already the highest bidder is offering more than 3.2 million crowns.

A Look at the Unique Porsche 930 TAG Turbo Built by Lanzante – Owned by Former F1 Driver Stefan Johansson

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 18, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The company Lanzante built 11 pieces of the unique Porsche 930 TAG Turbo with an engine from Formula 1. One specimen belongs to a former participant of these prestigious races.

Stefan Johansson, a former Formula 1 driver, presented his new Porsche 930 TAG Turbo, which he had built by Lanzante. The resulting adjustment that is one of the eleven projects The Porsche 930 TAG Turbo, realized by Lanzante, was presented for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend.

It slumbers under the hood of each of these unique cars 1.5 liter V6 TAG Turbo engine, which was produced by Porsche in the 1980s specifically for Formula 1 cars. It was with this drivetrain that Johansson drove the Austrian Grand Prix in the 1987 McLaren MP4/3 single-seater. He ended up in seventh place in this race.

In its day, this engine produced up to 750 horsepower, but for road use it was tuned to 503 horsepower, which is still a very respectable figure at a weight of 1,019 kilograms. Smaller turbos were installed, a different crankcase, and boost pressure was reduced by approximately 25% by the modifier. The power is then transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

The special feature of this particular car is its color design, which was hand painted by Johansson himself. The red, green, blue and yellow stripe motif appears on the exterior and interior. The choice of colors was not accidental. The green recalls the shade of Johansson’s racing helmet, the blue and yellow refer to his Swedish origins, and the white and red mimic the color scheme of his McLaren MP4/3.

Limited Edition Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire: Celebrating 100 Years of the Endurance Race

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com June 29, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The new limited edition 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire celebrating 100 years of the demanding endurance race will be produced in 72 units. The brand thus refers to a seventy-two-year presence in the plant.

The French dealership of the car manufacturer Porsche today showed off a new limited edition model of the 911 Carrera GTS, which, to celebrate the centenary of the demanding twenty-four-hour race, brings special accessories that were inspired by the historic cars Porsche 356 SL and Porsche 911 GT1.

The classic Porsche 356 won its class in 1951, when it took part in the race for the first time. The exotic-looking Porsche 911 GT1 then became the overall winner in 1998. In addition, the limited edition Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire will be produced in only 72 pieces, as a reminder of the brand’s 72-year presence in this race.

The project of this limited edition began to be born already in 2025 and its author is Grant Larsson, director of special projects in the Porsche Style department. The result of his work is 25 new special components, but only French customers will be able to enjoy them – this limited edition is not aimed at other markets.

We can start right away with the Le Mans Silver exterior color, which was derived from the historic 356 SL car. In addition, the designers also borrowed the number 46, located on the doors, from the historic car. It is worth noting that Rod Emory, the current owner of the Porsche 356 SL, also helped with the exterior color.

Details such as gold wheels with a center nut, indicated blinds on the side windows or red seat belts were then borrowed from the limited edition of the 911 GT1. In addition, on the car we see several plaques referring to the Le Mans races or the stylish inscription “Born in Le Mans, manufactured in Zuffenhausen”.

The interior with sports seats is upholstered in Graphite Blue with decors in Chalk White. The shape of the La Mans circuit is embossed on the armrest, complete with the years 1923-2023. The special edition designation can also be seen on the door sills or the plaque in front of the passenger.

However, nothing has changed in terms of technology. Under the hood, there is still a 3.0-liter flat-six with twin-turbo supercharging, offering the highest output of 353 kW (480 hp) and 570 Nm of torque. The transmission of power to the wheels can be handled by a seven-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed PDK.

French customers can order the limited edition Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire Edition now, but at a price starting at 237,819 euros, which is approximately 5.6 million crowns. Compared to the standard Porsche Carrera GTS, this is a significant additional charge of 79,109 euros, i.e. almost 1.9 million crowns.
