More F1-Engined Porsche 930 TAG Turbos Are Coming, Now With 625 HP
When we say F1 engines, we’re talking about motors actually used in F1 Grands Prix.
One of the stranger cars in the expansive Porsche pantheon is the 930 TAG Turbo. For decades, the mere existence of the Formula 1-engined 911 was just a rumor. Well, not only is it real, but there are about to be a few more of them out there—and with more performance than ever before.
The original Porsche 930 TAG Turbo came about in the 1980s as an offshoot of McLaren’s F1 team according to Stuttcars. McLaren partnered with Porsche to develop an answer to Renault’s powerful turbo engines, culminating in an—unusual for Porsche—1.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The TAG-funded (and therefore TAG-branded) engine needed a testbed, and that testbed would be a 911 Turbo. And so, the 930 TAG Turbo was born.
I used to have one of those. A 1986. It tried to kill me numerous times.
I commented on this story at The Drive saying that since they’ve changed the pistons, cranks, heads, fuel systems, and turbos, these aren’t motors actually used in F1 Grand Prix, these are engine BLOCKS used in F1 Grand Prix.
Something tells me I cannot afford one.
If I were gonna get a hopped-up Beetle, I’d get one made by Ruf.
If yer gonna be a bear, be a grizzly. If yer gonna be a Porsche, be a Yellowbird.
