The Legend of the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.0
The original, the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.0, a true masterpiece of engineering and design, was produced between 1975 and 1977. The Porsche 930 was the first generation of the 911 Turbo and set standards for sports cars of its time. It featured a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivered 260 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and a torque of around 344 Nm (253.6 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm. With an acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in about 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph, this car was way ahead of its time.

Technical intricacies and historical context
The Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.0 was developed by the famous designer Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche and the engineers under the leadership of Ernst Fuhrmann. One of the most notable features of the 930 is the "Whale Tail" - a large rear spoiler that improved both cooling and aerodynamics. The engine was air-cooled and had K-Jetronic injection from Bosch, an innovation that ensured higher efficiency and power. For context in that era: 1975 was the year Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen was released—two significant events that delineate the technological and cultural landscape of that time.
