Retrospect: Porsche 911 Turbo Slant Nose

The 1980s was an era of modifications, and Porsche embraced it with the $30,000 "flacbau" option!

There was something about the 1980s that made leaving well enough alone seem almost irresponsible. A standard Porsche 930 Turbo—with its swollen rear fenders, tea-tray spoiler and reputation for rearranging the scenery if you lifted off the throttle at the wrong moment, was apparently not quite dramatic enough.
