1986 930 Turbo Projekt Mjølner is a RSR Thunderstruck Tribute
What was once a testbed for new parts by a performance shop is now living the life as a balls-to-the-wall 600 plus horsepower racer.
Would you dare?
These retro Porsche models had the dubious distinction back in the day of being quite the "widowmaker" due to boost coming in at the worst of times and sending the car shooting off and out of the driver's control. These were quite the manful to drive spiritedly but nonetheless added to the mystique an owner would carry who could pilot the beast with prowess and respect through corners.
That power to weight ratio is ridiculous
At the rear is a 3.5-liter flat-six built with Mahle pistons, GT2 camshafts, and a MegaSquirt fuel injection all mated to twin Garrett GT30 turbos. The output from those and a few other parts is a whopping 607 horsepower and 544 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels all through a hefty 4-speed manual.

A little more sidewall would make us feel better
The build was inspired by an RSR Turbo as evidenced by the 3.0 RSR front fenders and rear quarter panels, and a 2.1 RSR front bumper. In the lower levels of the 930, there is a revised suspension consisting of Bilstein coilover shocks and struts, RSR arm bushings, 935 spring plates, and ginormous 10.5x18 front and 14x19 rear D-Zug wheels by Forgline.

It's internet famous
The car was featured in the March 2015 issue of Porsche Panorama magazine and sold at Auctions America’s Fort Lauderdale event for a high bid of $70,000. However, the car went on sale once more for substantially more at a price point of $109,000.
