This is the ultimate 1980s example of automotive art. And it’s not the wimpy Carrera, but the hairy-chested full fat 930 turbo. The iconic air-cooled Porsche. And you can forget all the electronic health and safety, nanny state nonsense that you find on modern Porsches – this is an interference-free driver’s car that focuses on visceral appeal.

Rather than 300bhp, thanks to a larger intercooler and upgraded turbo, this engine is even more manly, pumping out an impressive 421bhp. Weighing less than a modern VW Golf, spirited performance is assured. Yet it still starts at the turn of the key and settles down to that classic offbeat flat-six idle that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. And all with the reassurance of an extensive history file.

Once the oil has warmed and the engine revs rise above 3,000rpm, the turbo spools up and very soon all hell breaks loose and in a cacophony of noise, you are thrust into the back of the seat and catapulted forward. It is seriously fast.

Thanks to those chubby Continentals, the grip and cornering ability is exceptional and lifting off can result in flames being spat from the exhaust. This is a proper Eighties monster.

Just don’t be distracted by all the thumbs up and waves from fellow petrolheads. Just enjoy your Cheshire cat-sized grin as you howl past in third gear on that sweeping A-road…
