	The 930 was declared one of Kuwait's most popular cars, as the oil millionaires chose to spend their money on Porsche's flagship. However, for some, the Turbo in standard guise was not exclusive enough. Porsche had 'Customer Preparation Department' in business since the start, in which it could modify, at a price, both the bodywork and mechanicals of standard Porsche models - and in the 1980s, the department was never out of work.

	Firstly, came the 'Flatnose' cars, based upon the looks of the 935 racing car. This proved a popular modification, and Porsche started to consider producing a factory-built version themselves. This would come later. The largest project of the 'Customer Preparation Department' began in 1981, when Mansour Ojjeh, president of TAG Enterprises, commissioned a truly special 930. In essence, what Ojjeh truly wanted was a street-935, although Porsche claimed this could not be done. Instead, the decision was made to use a 930 as a base, and modify it from the ground up. In February 1983, a 930 went from the production line to the Department, and was dismantled. The Flatnose wings and bonnet were fitted, and plastics experts set to work on the wide arches at the rear. Genuine 935 parts, for example the rear wing, were used wherever possible. The front spoiler, bumpers and door trim were entirely hand made - which took time and money, and also ensured that an identical 'Ojjeh' could never be made. Mechanicals included 934 brakes, custom-made BBS alloys, custom suspension from Bilstein. Power was raised 70BHP, and the interior was lavishly trimmed with leather and wood, along with sophisticated electronics. The car cost three times that of a standard 930, but was a one-off, and Porsche learned many valuable lessons with this car - mainly that the 930 could handle extra power with only minor modifications.

			===Post-1985===

			1985 was the last main revamp for the 930, and consisted of cosmetic upgrades. A new seat design was offered, with electrical adjustment as standard. There was a new four-spoke, Porsche range standard leather trimmed four-spoke steering wheel. Electric central locking and air conditioning were fitted as standard. The only mechanical upgrade was stiffened stabilisers. Porsche reflected upon the success of the vehicle so far - over 10,000 examples had been built - and 1985 was considered the peak of its success - rich stock-marketeers lapped the 930s up as quick as Porsche could make them.

			In 1986, Porsche released the Turbo SE - the factory Flatnose, which had been expected for many year previous. The new car featured the distinctive front wings and bonnet, along with 9-inch wide rear Fuchs forged alloys, black painted wooden slats in the rear wings and large side skirts. Power was up to 330BHP, the highest a factory 930 would produce. Interior-wise, a new three-spoke steering wheel was fitted. Colour charts were identical to the standard 930, but the option of 'colour-match-to-sample' was again offered. The car cost a huge amount over the standard 930, but Porsche still managed to produce a fair number - and for the super-rich, there was even a cabriolet version.

			Big news for the 1986 model year included the re-introduction of the 930 in the USA, after many years' sabbatical. The emissions laws still stipulated a reduction in power ratings - the output was down to 282BHP.

			The cabriolet version of the 930 was released in 1987 to all markets, an marked a revamp of cosmetics across the range - new colours and interior trims were added to the brochures, and the Fuchs alloy centres could be specified colour-matched to the body. The untidy rear foglight, which used to hang below the rear bumper, was now integrated into the reflector strip under the rear spoiler. A Targa version was released, also.

			By 1989, sales of the 930 were flagging as the model showed its age. The new 911 had been released, and the bottom was falling out of the supercar market after the collapse of the stock market. Despite this, Porsche still revised the car, including a new five-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic clutch action, making the car much easier to drive around towns. The 1989 930 was also completely Asbestos-free from the factory, a first for the model. However, the decision was made to end the production of the world's most practical supercar in mid-1989. The last found homes in 1990.
