THE PORSCHE 930 SLANT NOSE
By combining a turbocharged engine with open coachwork, modified in competition style, Porsche created what is considered today to be one of the most desirable late model 911s—the 911 Turbo SE ("Flat Nose" or "Slant Nose") Cabriolet. Group 4 homologation rules, requiring 400 road cars to be built, had spurred the development of "Project 930"—the original 911 Turbo. In October of 1974, Ernst Fuhrmann officially unveiled the first Turbo production model. The Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to a completely reworked 3.0-liter engine, in road trim a combination that delivered 260bhp for a top speed of 153mph. The Turbo's characteristic flared wheel arches and "tea tray" rear spoiler were carried over from the Carrera model, while the interior was the most luxurious yet seen in a 911. The engine was enlarged to 3.3-liters for 1978, gaining an inter-cooler in the process. Power increased to 300bhp (265bhp for US models) and the top speed of what was the fastest-accelerating road car of its day went up to 160mph.
The 911 Turbo's raison d'être—the racing 935—had pioneered what would come to be known as the "slant" or "flat" nose, and this new look was soon in high demand from 911 customers. Early on, Kremer Racing offered a conversion service that was later taken up by the factory's own Customer Department for special order (Sunderwunschen) in 1981. The race inspired slant nose body work would not become an official Porsche option until 1986. The 930s equipped with the rare, modified panels which were modeled after the 935 race car. The converted front wings were steel, incorporating cooling vents and pop-up headlamps (early examples had them in the air dam). The car's side skirts lead to the rear which had extra cooling intakes ahead of the rear wheels. Along with the body modifications came an even more luxurious full leather interior. The interior was graced with luxuries such as air conditioning and special electrically adjustable and heated Recaro seats. Production of these modified 930s remained quite low due to the very high cost that they carried.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This exceedingly rare Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Slant Nose has been with the same owner since 2006. The car was delivered new on January 15, 1988, in Fort Wayne, Indiana to an authorized Porsche dealer. The car was well appointed with Grand Prix White paint over a Linen leather interior with blue carpets and Marine blue accents on the seat piping as well as the dash. The convertible soft top was finished in Dark Blue. The car was heavily optioned for the US with the $28,422 Slant Nose option, an electronic cabriolet top, a limited slip differential, left and right supple leather seats, a raised hub steering wheel, Blaupunkt "Reno" radio, alarm system, velour luggage compartment and color matched forged alloy wheels in Grand Prix white. The Slant Nose was completed at the factory in October of 1987 and first registered in Kansas on February 12, 1988.
Having been sparingly driven throughout its life, the car has covered fewer than 35,300 miles from the time it left the factory, of which approximately 3,000 miles have been added in the current ownership. The overall great condition of the car is thanks to the fact that the car has been continually stored inside a garage. This example does come equipped with an upgraded aftermarket stereo system cleanly installed along with white faced gauges, a Momo steering wheel, shift knob and a stylish machined pedal set. The majority of the servicing on this Porsche was performed at an authorized Porsche dealership, with the most recent service being performed at Porsche West Broward in December of 2022. With its recent service, and clean bill of health, this Porsche is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker.
This incredibly rare, 930 Turbo Cabriolet Slant Nose is accompanied by a large list of original items and documentation. Some of those items include copy of the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, clean Carfax report, service receipts, manual, warranty and service booklet, tool kit, tire compressor and spare. As one of the rarest models in Porsche's history, finished in an attractive color combination with its beautiful color matched wheels, this 930 makes quite the statement. Surely a wonderful opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a slant nose turbo cabriolet.
