About the Porsche 911 930 Almeras Biturbo 3.3 Blue Kess 1:18
TL;DR: Kess's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 930 reproduces the Alméras Biturbo 3.3, a French tuning house's twin-turbo rework of the original 911 Turbo, finished in blue. Sealed resin construction holds the widened arches and aggressive stance that separate this variant from a stock 930, a rare subject for Porsche tuner collectors.
The 930 is the original 911 Turbo, the car that introduced Porsche's wide-body turbocharged formula, and this example carries a further step beyond stock: a biturbo conversion by the French tuning house Alméras. Kess reproduces it in resin at 1:18.
Alméras' Biturbo Conversion in Sealed Resin
Alméras built a reputation in the 1970s and 1980s reworking Porsches for road and competition use, and a twin-turbo conversion of the 930's 3.3-liter engine sits squarely in that tradition, trading the factory single-turbo setup for a different power delivery. Alméras's road-tuning work in period aimed to give owners more power without abandoning the 911 Turbo's factory character, a philosophy distinct from today's widebody-first tuning scene. Kess's resin casting focuses on what a scale model can actually show: the 930's already-wide rear arches, its distinctive whale-tail spoiler, and whatever visual cues mark this as an Alméras build rather than a standard Turbo. Sealed resin construction means sharp, consistent shut lines across those flared surfaces, without the smaller manufacturer needing to engineer opening doors or a hood. The blue finish is applied evenly, and at this scale, a resin build from a specialist producer like Kess is often the only way to see a rare tuning-house variant like this in three dimensions at all.
A Niche Subject for Porsche Tuner Collectors
Stock 930 Turbos already have a strong following, so a documented Alméras conversion appeals to a narrower, more specialized slice of that collector base: buyers who chase specific tuning-house history rather than factory-original variants. Displayed beside a standard 930, the differences, wider stance, altered details, tell a small story about 1980s Porsche tuning culture that a factory model alone cannot. Kess and similar boutique resin producers exist largely to serve subjects like this one, where the audience is small but genuinely dedicated. For a shelf built around 911 Turbo variants across decades, this piece adds a documented tuning chapter most factory-only collections skip entirely. That specialization is worth acknowledging honestly: this is a piece for a focused collector, not a broad-appeal shelf centerpiece.
