As a seasoned gamer and automotive enthusiast with a soft spot for rare finds, the prospect of this 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) gracing the auction block at Bangkok’s Collins is nothing short of exhilarating! With my fingers crossed and heart racing, I can almost feel the rush of adrenaline that would come with driving this iconic piece of machinery.
“I can hardly contain my excitement! A super rare 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo (930), one of the first right-hand drive models from Porsche’s legendary Turbo series, is about to hit the auction block at Collins in Bangkok. This is a chance I can’t miss!
This specific 911 Turbo model is one of the initial 400 units ever made, and only a small fraction (5%) were built for right-hand drive. Sporting serial number 264, it still boasts its original flat-six turbocharged engine paired with a manual transmission of the same vintage. With a power output of 260 hp, this car held the title of the fastest production vehicle worldwide in 1975. Its distinctive wide fenders and whale tail spoiler add to its legendary status as an icon.
This ’75 Porsche 911 Turbo boasts an understated copper-brown exterior and a striking plaid and black interior, echoing its period design aesthetic. But what sets this car apart from others of its kind is that, according to its VIN, it’s the sole 1975 model ever painted in the unique “Raspberry” hue (paint code 024), featuring a contrasting blue leather interior. This rare find places potential buyers in a dilemma – whether to restore it or let it retain its original charm.
As a key model homologated for Porsche’s Group 4 racing initiative, this Turbo has significantly contributed to the brand’s motor racing history. Its historical importance, combined with its original body and carefully maintained characteristics, makes it an essential piece in any collection.
This distinctive RHD Porsche 911 Turbo is scheduled for auction during Collins’ preliminary sale and is anticipated to sell for up to $300,000 USD. Both bidders and fans are invited to inspect the car personally at the Amata Spring Classic d’Elegance 2024 event in Thailand on December 14.
