Preview (beginning of the article)
The story sounds almost like a fairy tale, but that's exactly what happened. In the spring of 1975, Guido Haberthür bought one of the first Porsche Turbo cars to deliver to a customer. But instead of driving the car normally on the road, he ended up 44th on the grid at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and finished the race in an outstanding 15th place overall. This would hardly be conceivable today; in the 1950s it was the rule, but in the 1970s it was certainly the exception. When Porsche showed the first Porsche Turbo as a prototype in Frankfurt in 1973 and presented the production version in Paris a year later, the 911 Turbo was actually the only production turbo from a major manufacturer; over 40 years later, turbocharging with a turbine driven by exhaust gas pressure is ubiquitous. The functional principle was already ancient in 1974, dating back to 1908, when technicians fitted the engine of a Chadwick racing car with a "central compressor". The recipe had also been tried and tested for a long time in (large) diesel engines. Only a few series-produced road vehicles before the Porsche 930 had artificial ventilation by means of a turbo, the Chevrolet Corvair Corsa (1965-1966) and the BMW 2002 Turbo (1973-1974) were exceptions.
