Born out of the high stakes innovation of CAN-AM racing, the original Porsche 911 Turbo became an automotive icon the moment it rolled off the production line in 1975 – though back then, it was officially known as the Porsche 930.

Armed with a 3.0-litre single turbocharged and air-cooled flat-six putting out 260hp (194kW), it was one of the world’s fastest production cars able to go from zero to 100km/h in 5.5 seconds. Top speed was 246km/h.

Fast forward 41 years and five generations of evolution, and the latest incarnation of Porsche’s flagship sports car is still called the 911 Turbo, only these days there’s an even faster version, which adds an ‘S’ to the storied Turbo nameplate.
