The Porsche 930 Turbo, also known as the "Widowmaker" 911, is a legendary car with a reputation for being difficult to handle. It earned its nickname due to its powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, and tendency to oversteer, which could catch inexperienced drivers off guard and result in a dangerous loss of control.
