The 1978 911 Turbo is one of those moments in Porsche history that needs no lengthy introduction. It was the year the Type 930 received its 3.3-litre engine with intercooler, cementing a power delivery that made it an absolute benchmark of the era. Norev captures it in its Jet-car range at 1/43 scale, in diecast with a pastel matte finish in sky blue a colour that works particularly well at this scale: it opens up the reading of the 930's widened silhouette and lets the shapes speak for themselves.
The 930 in sky blue: a different take on the Turbo
Most collectible 911 Turbos come in black, silver or red. A pastel sky blue on the Type 930 completely changes the feel of the piece. The wide bodywork, the signature rear spoiler and the lines of the rear arches take on a calmer, almost elegant presence, without losing the visual tension that defines the 930. In a display of classic Porsches, this shade breaks the rhythm without clashing.
Jet-car range: 1/43 scale with a collector's eye
Norev's Jet-car range is aimed at collectors who want a manageable scale, diecast construction and an official licence at a price that allows building a collection with real intent. The 750076 fits that profile well: it is a specific reference, with an identified model and year, a confirmed colour and a pastel matte finish that reads cleanly at this scale and rewards display. For anyone who already has Porsches from other eras in 1/43, the '78 930 in sky blue is the kind of piece that shifts the rhythm of a shelf without needing to dominate it.
A piece that rewards the more you know what you're looking at
It is not the most eye-catching 930 in a collection, but it is one of the most interesting to read. The pastel sky blue on diecast with a matte finish has that quality of restraint that sets a well-chosen piece apart from a merely striking one. For a Porsche enthusiast, recognising the '78 Type 930 in this colour is almost a knowing nod: it does not try to impose itself, but it knows exactly what it is.
