The most expensive option that the owner of a Porsche 930 Turbo was the embodiment could apply for a front or Flachbau Flatnose type (flat nose) that made him look very similar to the 935 competition. The department of special orders Porsche (Sonderwunsch) was responsible for these conversions used since 1981, about 236, which only affected the aesthetic level, but in late 1986 began production of a specific variant and very exclusive under the name Turbo 930 Flatnose or Flachbau whose exclusivity already exceeded the aesthetic. The Flatnose was fitting the six-cylinder boxer engine Typ 930/68 3.3 liter, but thanks to new changes such as adding new camshafts, better utilization of the combustion gases and increasing the turbo pressure of 0.8 to 1 bar, now offering a power 330 cv. The other options were exclusive Reccared leather seats electrically adjustable, and a new upholstery and dashboard instrument panel or the classic Fuchs wheels painted in body color. Similarly, the changes made were necessary to extend the engine cooling system with two new air intakes on the rear wheels. But really the most radical change was the very Flatnose itself, a front completely flat with headlamps and two air emtradas contrasted completely with the original round headlights so typical of Porsche 911. The first year was offered only Flatnose bodied coupe, but in 1988, the last year of production of the 930 Turbo, the 964 would go into production in 1989 - joined the Cabrio and Targa body, and a new gearbox five speeds, which has made this latest standard on most desired by collectors.
mid 80's Porsche was the official supplier of technology engines and McLaren Formula 1, which was particularly successful thanks to the titles won by Niki Lauda (1984) and Alain Prost (1985 and 1986). The collaboration between the two firms was made by the company TAG (Techniques d'Avantgarde), owned by billionaire Mansour Ojjeh, who facilitated the entry of many Gulf petrodollars in the Woking team. This caused the Porsche 930 Turbo the car became popular in the Persian Gulf, said the legend was informal Ojjeh himself who encouraged Stuttgart's house to make the first Flatnose. In fact, he was the proud owner of one of the most special Flatnose built. Was based on a racing chassis 934/935, as well as incorporating several its aerodynamic features and characteristics of BBS wheels monotuerca. It was burgundy and delivered 380 hp engine that allowed a top speed of 300 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 in five seconds. Equally and without leaving the family McLaren team owner Ron Dennis also owned a Flatnose, in this case red.
In its normal to always offer a very distinct and unprecedented in the market, one of the first Porsche that Neo Scale Models offered was the 930 Turbo Flatnose. Specifically, the model shows, in the classic Grand Prix Weiss color is a limited edition for the German store Neo Cartima and my unit is number 39 of 100 built. I'm not really collectors who place great importance on having a model with a very limited edition, mostly because I know as often play with this many companies, but hey, nobody is bitter sweet. The model seems very good, I think the very best of Neo, which is not to say the least. The color scheme is very successful and creates a nice contrast, in fact, I chose to target me because it is the best shows the contrast of the color of his body with plastic parts so characteristic of the 80 cars. The level of detail of the miniature is the usual Neo with typical details gravure made material. Their tuition and and rear brackets indicate that it is a reproduction of the copy for the U.S. market, which already has other Neo Porsche. A few months ago, the brand introduced its own Looksmart Flatnose realization of a miniature really smoothly even double the price of Neo.
