Exceptionally Rare RHD Porsche 911 Turbo Surfaces for Auction
Estimated to fetch as much as $300,000 USD.
An exceptionally rare 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo (930), one of the earliest right-hand drive (RHD) examples of Porsche‘s iconic Turbo series, is soon to be up for auction via Bangkok’s Collins.
This particular model is part of the first lot of 400 911 Turbo cars ever produced, with just 5 percent manufactured in RHD configuration. Bearing serial number 264, it retains its original flat-six turbocharged engine and is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. With 260 hp, this car was the world’s fastest production vehicle in 1975. Its hallmark wide fenders and whale tail spoiler further cement its status as an icon.
Finished in a subdued copper brown exterior with a plaid and black interior, this 911 Turbo reflects the design language of its era. However — what makes this vehicle even rarer than its drive configuration — is that according to its VIN, it is the only 1975 model originally painted in “Raspberry” (paint code 024) with a contrasting blue leather interior, leaving prospective buyers with the decision to restore it or not.
As a homologation model for Porsche’s Group 4 racing program, this Turbo played a pivotal role in the brand’s motorsport legacy. Its historical significance, paired with its authentic bodyshell and well-preserved features, positions it as a serious cornerstone for any collection.
Notably, this special RHD Porsche 911 Turbo is set to be auctioned off as part of Collins‘ soft launch sale and is estimated to fetch as much as $300,000 USD. Bidders and enthusiasts alike will have a chance to check out the vehicle in person, during the upcoming Amata Spring Classic d’Elegance 2024 event in Thailand on December 14.
