The original 930 — Porsche's first turbocharged 911, captured at the LEGO® Speed Champions 6-stud scale.

Set #75895 2019 180 pieces 6-stud Retired

75895 captures the 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0, internally designated the 930, which was the very first turbocharged production 911. Launched at the 1974 Paris Motor Show and built from 1975 through 1977 in 3.0-litre form, the Turbo introduced both the wide-body 911 silhouette and the iconic 'whale tail' rear wing — two elements that LEGO® 75895 reproduces directly.

75895 models the 1974–1977 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 (930) — the original turbocharged 911 and the first to wear the wide rear arches and whale-tail wing that defined the silhouette for decades.

THE ORIGINAL 911 TURBO

Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 (930)

Porsche's first turbocharged 911 — the 930 — launched at Paris 1974.

Porsche revealed the 911 Turbo at the 1974 Paris Motor Show as a high-end, halo version of the 911 line, with the production 3.0-litre flat-six version going on sale in 1975 as the 930. Engine output was 260 hp from a single KKK turbocharger, with peak torque of 343 N·m. The car was the first production 911 with the wide rear-arch flares and the rubber-edged 'whale tail' rear wing — both of which LEGO® reproduces in 75895 (see LEGO® 75895 and Brickset 75895).

The 3.0-litre 930 was sold from 1975 to 1977 in Europe, after which Porsche increased displacement to 3.3 litres for 1978 and added an intercooler — taking output first to 300 hp and ultimately, in late 1980s 'WLS' Werksleistungssteigerung packs, to 330 hp. The 930 platform itself ran in production through to 1989, making it one of the longest-serving 911 generations.

The early 3.0-litre 930 has the strongest reputation among 911 collectors for its 'pure' turbocharged character: a notoriously sudden boost-onset above 4,000 rpm, no electronic stability aids, and a four-speed manual gearbox (the five-speed didn't arrive until the 3.3-litre version). It is also the variant most often referenced when motoring journalists call the 911 Turbo 'the widow-maker', a nickname earned in the late 1970s for snap-oversteer behaviour at the boundary of grip.

People

The 911 Turbo programme was developed under Porsche's chief engineer Ernst Fuhrmann, with Hans Mezger leading the engine work.

Ernst Fuhrmann

CEO, PORSCHE AG (1972–1980)

Fuhrmann was the engineer-CEO who pushed the 911 Turbo into production despite internal Porsche debate at the time about whether the 911 had a future at all. He simultaneously launched the 924 and 928 grand tourers, intending to phase the 911 out — but the 911 Turbo 3.0's commercial success extended the 911's life. The 930 LEGO® reproduces in 75895 (see Brickset 75895) is the result of his decision.

Hans Mezger

ENGINE DESIGNER, PORSCHE

Mezger designed every Porsche flat-six and flat-12 racing engine of the 1960s and 1970s, including the 911 Turbo's 3.0-litre block — derived from Porsche's 917 and Carrera RS road and race units. The 'Mezger engine' is now an enthusiast's term for these legendary power units; the 930's was one of the first.
