Are you a fan of German engineering? Then you’ll probably go nuts when you find out that one of the 63 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo (type 930) distributed in Canada will be sold at a classic car auction organized by Collector Car Productions on April 8 through 10 at Toronto’s International Centre.

The collector’s car has only had one owner these last 30 years, and it’s still powered by the original 3.3-litre, 6-cylinder mill producing 300 hp and 324 ft-lb of torque. The buyer will inherit all existing documentation, from the original purchase invoice to each service statement since 1981.

The 911 Turbo, known as the 930 in North America, is one of the pioneers of high-performance turbocharged power. The vented brake discs straddled by four-piston callipers were extremely advanced for the time, and no road-going vehicle had ever featured that technology before. The car is also very fast, leaping from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds.
