Check the shift knob and you'll see that the gear pattern stops at fourth (The 930 Turbos were never equipped with five-speeds by the factory). Aside from that, the Turbo is a well-dressed 911.

A full load of extras, from air to sunroof, are standard just as would be expected in a car that was one of the top-tier exotics of the time.
Under the whale tail, the 911 Turbo's air-cooled, turbocharged and intercooled flat-six powerplant displaces 3.3 liters. This engine sounds serious: lumpy and hoarse, with an occasional spit thrown in for good measure. There's no heavy thrust down low -- Then the boost comes in as the revs go past 4500 rpm, the exhaust hisses like a very angry 3000-pound cat, and whoosh! The bottom line horsepower was fatter than ever. Porsche's technological advancements were put to good use in the 930. The factory tweaking included a three-way catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, and electronic assistance for the Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system.
