For the uninitiated, the very first 911 Turbo had a narrow-chassis 911 Carrera body combined with the large rear wing of the later models. Inside, the car featured a distinctive red interior adorned with Tartan fabric, personally handpicked by Louise Pi\u00ebch herself. The car was powered by a 2.7-liter turbo engine as opposed to the large 3.0-liter unit of the later cars.<\/p>\n
Just like the original car, the one-off 911 Turbo displayed during Dubai\u2019s Icons of Porsche Festival has a silver exterior finish with a vintage black-and-red Porsche lettering in the lower section of the doors and side panels, just above the side skirts. The black five-spoke wheels also draw inspiration from the classic 911 Turbo featuring a polished chrome outer ring, corresponding visually with the main body hue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe initial idea for this project began a year ago,\u201d Patrick Gallas, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur Manager for Porsche Middle East and Africa, said about the one-off. \u201cWe wanted to create a modern iteration of a car that was truly unique. Luckily for us, there is no shortage of Porsche cars that people label as icons. We elected to \u2018remaster\u2019 one of the greatest icons of them all \u2013 the original 911 Turbo that belonged to Louise Piech.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sold as the Porsche 930 in North America, the first 911 Turbo had an air-cooled engine with a peak output of 260 horsepower. Just a few years after its launch, the motor was upgraded to a larger 3.3-liter displacement making the output even higher at 300 hp. That engine was used until 1989.<\/p>\n
