#MLCPorsche4 #Porsche911TurboCabrio
On the bench today is a 1:55 scale Siku Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio. This project is a kind of throw back to my early Maple Leaf restorations. I started with a bag of 50 cars from an eBay haul and tried to fix them up.
This is my entry to #MLCPorsche4 to mark my YouTube channel’s 4th anniversary and to celebrate all things Porsche. My personal thanks to each of you who follow my channel and interact with me through the comments. And special thanks to 50+ talented builders who are participating in this year’s build off. The key theme is Pay it Forward. Each custom Porsche is going to be given away by its creator.
This looks like a circa 1987 Porsche, which would make it a 930 - the turbocharged variant of the 911, manufactured between 1975 and 1989. It was the top-of-the-line 911 model for its entire production duration and, at the time of its introduction, was the fastest production car available in Germany.
The 930 proved very fast but also very demanding to drive, and due to its short wheelbase and rear engine layout, was prone to oversteer. Under certain conditions, applying too much throttle would cause the heavy rear end of the car to swing outward like a pendulum, causing the car to spin out. To this day, Porsche corporate employees who drive 911 Turbo models for testing or for business reasons are mandated to undergo "Turbo Training"
In a 1999 poll to determine the Car of the Century, the 911 was fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003). The one millionth example was manufactured in May 2017 and is in the company's permanent collection.

FYI: All of the Maple Leaf Customs finished projects that are kid-friendly are put in custom blister packs and go to my local Goodwill store where they are given to children for free. If there are parts that can be swallowed, those cars are given as gifts to adult collectors that are fellow enthusiasts.
