Title: test the latest Porsche 911 Turbo
Post by: eye30 on September 16, 2016, 17:40:09
It will hit 60mph in 3 seconds and do almost 200mph, but can it really be civilised enough to use every day?

911 Turbo costs £126,925 - £50,500 more than the cheapest 911 Carrera

Twin-turbo 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine produces 532bhp

Car has a top speed of 198mph and can reach 62mph in 3 seconds

Can it really be used as a daily driver? We spent a week with it to find out

For some reason I have never been a Porsche fan. I know they are very highly regarded as a driver's car.

I think it is the styling.  :undecided:

Stunning, absolutely love it.
I'd have a Porsche over most supercars except maybe Aston Martins.

I love the shape of the 911.  I would also prefer a 911 over almost any other supercar, the only exception for me would be a Ferrari.

It's OK, but I'm an Aston Martin/ Jaguar type of guy. Like the look of some Maserati models too and the Shelby Cobra...  :mrgreen:

Just like a cockroach it'll never die :lol: bloody beautiful piece of craftsmanship that is, 56 Corvette would be lovely as well, Lamborghini's are another top notch piece though it's in the super car class.
