In 1974, the German automaker introduced a brand new turbocharged sports car at the Paris Motor Show, the Porsche 911 Turbo – the first production turbocharged model of the 911 lineup.

In its earliest production years, the 911 Turbo was powered by a turbocharged 3.0L (2993cc) engine, which was longitudinally mounted on the car’s rear. At a power output of 260hp, the rear-wheel drive car reached the 153 mi/h (246 km/h). From 1978 onwards, a 3.3L engine replaced the preceding one and boosted power output to 300 hp.
