Looking for a supercar without the neighbours knowing of it?
Porsche has offered the 911 Turbo for years now.
It looks like a modest 911, but goes like a true supercar.
The 991 looks to be the same, until you get to the back.
Look at these air scoops, which aren't there just for show.
Then there's this big spoiler, which rises up during driving.
And from the rear you see how wide the 911 Turbo has become.
The rear axle is now even wider than that of the Carrera 4S.
This and much more makes this car even harder, quicker and better.
That's promising!
Judging by the numbers, you'd think not a whole lot has changed.
The same 3.8 6-cylinder, bi-turbo, though with some tweaks.
It's now more fuel efficient. Don't care, as it's a 911 Turbo?
Thanks to 41 grammes of CO2 less, it's cheaper in the Netherlands.
And no shortage of power, as the Turbo now has 520 PS.
While the Turbo S went up to 560 PS.
We're driving the Turbo, as 520 PS seems enough to us.
And it doesn't disappoint at all, no regrets here!
Throttle response is a bit slower than you get with a Carrera S.
The turbo's take a while, but after 3000 rpm, VROAP!
BAM! Next gear!
And you're doing nearly 200 kph.
It's like an orgy, a tidal wave of violence, sound and power.
It's not the drama of a Ferrari, but just overwhelming power.
Very addictive. It's a great car with great power delivery.
There's just a PDK transmission, no more manual.
Fortunately, Porsche offers paddles behind the wheels.
In the most sporty driving mode, they listen very well.
So you don't really miss the manual 'box. Good choice.
4WD is standard, along with other new stuff to make it quicker.
Like dynamic chassis control and traction management.
There's active aero now as well, both front and rear.
And like the GT3, the rear axle steers along.
At low speeds, it steers opposite to the front wheels, which is handy.
It's still really good, but it's no thrill machine.
At high speeds, they steer along to make it more stable in corners.
This makes the car nearly perfect. Cornering speeds are amazing.
When you think: 'I won't make this', the car still has 25 percent left.
And when you do mess up, electronic gizmo's help to control it.
The car is almost perfect, it's incomprehensible how quick it is.
Still, it makes the car... not clinical, but a bit easy.
It lacks the drama of a Ferrari.
It's really good, a car for both the track and to drive to work. 0:04:40.267,1193:02:47.295 But you don't get the shouty supercar experience here.
The 911 Turbo is almost perfect. Really fast yet easy to control.
But you can save money and buy a Carrera S for the same fun.
For the track, there's the 911 GT3, which is lighter and more suited.
Is this the best of both? Maybe. But definitely the best.
