| 53 | In March 1977, the Turbo 3.0 price in the Netherlands rose to ƒ97,750, coinciding with Porsche AG raising its prices in Germany. |
| 267 | Style Porsche had wanted to introduce a high-end patina/fade effect as a production option to show off the curves of the Turbo. The first test car was 1975 Turbo 3.0 930 570 0022 with a standard black paint base followed by several coats of paint and clear to produce a gold-bronze patina effect. |
| 275 | The 1975 Corina Piéch Turbo 930 570 0204 was the second test of the gold-bronze patina effect, with some changes to the formulas and process. Unfortunately it proved way too expensive of a process to ever be able to offer to customers, as the body must be painted the base color, then hand painted with bronze metallic/glitter while wet, with the flakes in clearcoat, and then clear coated again. |
| 284 | The first Vasek Polak 1975 Turbo VIN should be listed in the body text as 930 570 0047, not 930 570 0057. The photo captions correctly list 0047. |
| 475 | 1976 Turbo 930 680 0522 has now been identified as paint-to-sample VW Ancona Blue (395-9-3) with an all blue interior. |
| 492 | For 1977 USA Turbo Carreras 930 780 0423 – 0428 the date of productions should have been listed as 2/77 instead of 2/76. |
