The Porsche 930 — the first production turbocharged 911 — earned the 'Widowmaker' moniker because its sudden turbo boost, light weight, short wheelbase, and rearward weight distribution could surprise inexperienced drivers, leading to crashes in less-than-ideal conditions. As turbo technology evolved, later 3.3L versions added power and higher top speeds, reducing the era’s handling surprises. Today, early 930s command high auction prices (roughly $220k for early models, with Turbo S variants starting around $270k), and some enthusiasts pursue modern restomods like Singer’s Turbo Study to capture the 930’s character without its notorious instability.
