The History of the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 Martini
The Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 Martini represents an iconic era in Porsche's history. The model debuted in the G Series generation, which was produced from 1974 to 1989. The Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 marked a significant upgrade over the Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, which is considered its predecessor. Development chief Ernst Fuhrmann and designer Ferdinand Alexander Porsche crafted the 911 Turbo. The engine was a 3.0-liter turbocharged boxer engine that delivered an impressive power of 260 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. The lightweight and durable materials like aluminum for the hood and fenders contributed to its outstanding performance. The turbo allowed the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Amazing technical innovations like the K-Jetronic fuel injection system and improved aerodynamics with the distinctive rear spoiler set the car apart.

Every element of this color scheme is faithfully recreated on the 1/18 scale model. Additionally, the original twin exhaust pipes and the Fuchs wheels contribute to the authenticity of the model.
