The legendary Hans Mezger Porsche 930 has returned to its former glory.

Last year, we brought you the sad news of the death of the legendary Porsche engine manufacturer Hans Mezger at the age of 90. This person is indeed an icon in the engineering world, having served as a technical consultant for Singer's exquisite 911 DLS. People will always remember his talent, he has witnessed outstanding engine performance on the road and track, including the 4.5-liter air-cooled 12-cylinder engine that powers the world-famous 917K Le Mans test car. He has never stopped his love for cars, and before his death expressed his desire to see his 930 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 return to the road. Regrettably, the last few details of the car had not been completed before his death, but his son has now completed the car to commemorate the great man.

This 197-horsepower car was bought by Metzger in October 1979. Completed at Grand Prix White, this car was originally a test car, which actually caused some problems, but more will be coming later. This car first entered public roads through a test vehicle registration plate in April 1977. When Mezger bought it for 22,400 marks (excluding tax), the clock read 27,540 kilometers (17,112 miles). When the car was handed over, a new speedometer was installed with the clock set to zero. Nearly four years later, it traveled another 10,601 kilometers (6,587 miles). As an engine engineer, Mezger has been testing the latest 911, so it travels such a small distance.

In October 2008, Mezger applied for an old-fashioned license plate, but because the car had been used as a test vehicle for two years since April 1977, it was not until August 1979 that it obtained the complete registration certificate, and the technical inspection agency initially refused to issue the license plate. Fortunately, the contact with Porsche paid off. At the time, the director of the Porsche Museum Klaus Bischof wrote a letter explaining the history of the car, and also mentioned Metzger’s contribution to the Porsche. The importance of family. As we mentioned before, Mezger never saw the last few small details restored, but on the first anniversary of his death, Mezger's son Oliver completed the car and made it suitable for the road. In addition to the 50-year-old Zodiac Astrographic SST watch that Hans once owned, Oliver now has two vintage masterpieces to commemorate his legendary father. For the rest of us, Mezger's influence is no less than the rear end of any internal combustion engine Porsche.
