1988’s 911 930 Turbo Targa isn’t a cheap way to go, so we’re wondering if it’s worth it and how we can get one. The $230,000 short wheelbase flat six is a wild horse that only the best ranchers can tame, which is a major part of its appeal. We’re going to talk about what makes this Targa so dangerous, so expensive, and so very very fun.
Automobiles EtCetera was kind enough to let us at Hot Cars snoop around this black wonder and touch this 1 of 141 built machines. We’ve spent some time on the grass, staring at the clouds, trying to wrap our heads around what’s so special about a car that can so easily send you to the morgue.
Racing is not a sport for the faint of heart. Even the best of the best have ascended to the afterlife while practicing the artform: Bruce McLean, Ken Miles, Gilles Villeneuve. You would think we wouldn’t want history to repeat itself and we’d all drive Subaru Legacy’s (the safest car in America) but we do. We like to flirt with death like she’s a hostess at Denny’s and we fantasize about leaving our wives at 157 mph in a blaze of never ending glory. Why? This video is about what makes us attracted to crazy cars, why you might buy an ‘88 Targa, and all the fun we had doing a full body exam on this Turbo.

Oh yes! The Targa, dream-car of my childhood... and the present - and the 911´s from this period are just the most beautiful!
All that´s missing is the spare change 🤷‍♂

Bought my 1987 930 brand new from the Porsche dealer in Fairfield Connecticut. Still have the original dealer order sheet: Grand Prix White w/Burgundy leather sport seats, limited slip, sunroof. With gas guzzler tax paid $62k usd including sales tax and dealer prep.

Why do they insist on back seats until this day that have no utility?..

Could have reduced this by 1/2 the length
