This is one of the fiercest Porsches ever made — it wasn’t nicknamed “the widow maker” for nothing, right? After watching this video, you just might desperately want one in your life.
Between 1975 and 1989 about 21,000 units were made — the 930 debuted with the 3.0-liter flat-six, followed by the 3.3-liter unit.
