Porsche began experimenting with turbocharging technology on their race cars during the late 1960s, and in 1 Carrera 2.7 RS. The FIA's dix ''J'' rules that brought about the 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 in 1974 changed in 1975 and 1976. The FIA announced that cars for p 4 and p 5 had to look like production cars and would be for '' l '' with a means the distribution of cars to individual purchasers through normal channels of the manufacture. For the 1976 season, new FIA regulations required manufactures to produce 400 cars in twenty-four months to gain approval for p 4. p 5 would require the car to be derived from a homologated model in p 3 or 4. To win the p 5 pionship, Porsche would first have to have a car that could compete in p 4 which led to the 934. For p 5, Porsche would create one of the most successful racing cars of all time, the 935. While the original purpose of the Porsche was to gain homologation for the 1. Since Porsche wanted to be racing for the 1976 season, they gained FIA homologation for the Porsche for p 4 in Nr. 645 on 6 Dec '75 after they certified that 400 identical production cars had been completed. The 1,000th 1976 was completed on 5 May '76 and this production number allowed Porsche reclassify the for p 3, series-production grand touring car in FIA mologation Nr. 3076, 1 Jan '77. Additional variants to p 4 (and p 5) were promulgated in Nr. 3076 and included the 1001, 1 Jan '77) and the 3.3 liter (chassis nr. , 1 Jan '78). FIA Nr. 3076 remained in effect until replaced by FIA B-208 in 1 Mar 1982 for p A/B when the homologation designation was changed from ''Porsche '' to ''911 ''.

Porsche, who was running the company at the time, handed development of the vehicle over to Fuhrmann, who adapted the turbo-technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM car to the 3.0 litre flat-six from the Carrera RS 3.0, creating what Porsche internally dubbed as 930.

l output from the engine was 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp), much more than the standard Carrera. In order to ensure that the platform could make the most of the higher power output, a revised suspension, larger brakes and stronger gearbox became part of the package, although some consumers were unhappy with Porsche's use of a 4-speed whilst a 5-speed manual was available in the ''lesser'' Carrera. A ''whale tail'' rear spoiler was installed to help vent more air to the engine and help create more downforce at the rear of the vehicle, and wider rear wheels with upgraded tires combined with flared wheel arches were added to increase the 911's width and grip, making it more stable.
