Porsche 930: How a Turbocharged 911 Earned Its 'Widowmaker' Nickname

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.

"Overwatch 2 players anxious over elusive Mythic skins"

Overwatch 2 players are worried that it may take years for their favorite hero to receive a Mythic-tier skin, after estimating the timeframe of Mythic skin releases. Currently, only Genji, Junker Queen, and Kiriko have Mythic skins. With 37 characters in the game, some players fear it could take up to six years for every hero to receive a Mythic skin, and Blizzard may even introduce new cosmetic items like "Mythic weapons" which could further delay the release of new skins.
