Hot Wheels Wiki says: The Porsche 911 Turbo is a high-performance turbocharged version of the Porsche 911; this specific version of the 911 Turbo, the 930, was Porsche's top-of-the-range automobile for its entire production run and was designed to originally satisfy Group 4 homologation requirements. The 930, produced from 1975 to 1989, featured a Typ 930/60 turbocharged flat-6, initially in a 3.0L configuration; in 1978 the engine's displacement increased to 3.3L and remained that way until the end of production. At the time of its introduction, the 911 Turbo was the fastest production car available in Germany. By the end of the 930's production in 1989, 21,589 were produced.

In 1986, Porsche began offering a new aesthetics package for the 930 under their Sonderwunschprogramm (lit. "special order program"). Named the Flachbau (lit. "flat nose") and colloquially known as either the Flatnose or Slantnose, the Flachbau package replaced the car's dual headlights with a slanted front fascia similar to that of the Porsche 935 with pop-up headlights. Each Flachbau package was created by redoing the car's front fenders; due to the way this package was produced the package commanded a significant premium, commanding at least 60% over the standard price (highly-individualized cars cost more). 948 were produced.
