TOP STORY-New spy photos of the next generation Porsche 911 Turbo-Part 1

SPECIAL 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY ISSUE. SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO HELP KEEP OUR COUNTRY FREE...PAST AND PRESENT! Previously the only pictures of the upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo (in light camouflage) came from the Nurburgring, but as the (estimated) 460-horsepower sportscar is getting closer to production – we’re thrilled to have caught it here in the United States!

We can’t tell you were we snapped these pictures as we like to keep our shooting locations as secret as can be, but we can tell you that speeds were in excess of the posted limit and that law enforcement officials got involved after a citizen’s complaint and gave stern warnings to each and every driver. Next time, we hear, they won’t be nearly as lenient.

We’re expecting the 911 Turbo to go on sale in Europe next spring, followed shortly afterwards with sales in North America. The top speed is expected to surpass the current 191mph, and the 911 Turbo will be offered with a new four-wheel drive system.

Just a tip to those Porsche engineers: Keep your radar detectors handy and watch out for those bicyclists (wink).

Ren,

I can ignore Jugnuts because he's from somewhere else but your consulting info is off base. Porsche has been diversifying. Ever heard of the Cayenne? How about the Cayman? With more power, the Cayman could easily replace the 911. The fans lambasted the company for producing the Cayenne because it was pandering to the masses like Jugnuts was talking about. They also have a luxury/sport sedan in the works. How can you say they are not developing new ideas? And their engines are some of the most advanced, and fuel efficient in the world. Why would Audi eat their lunch? They are and have been business partners in some sense for many years now.

Porsche is one of a small handful of independent manufacturers left. The fact they have not had to sell out and continue to make a profit in their small niche market is a testiment to their business acumen.

I also read the British car mags and for some reason, they want to knock Porsche off the hill but in they end, if you read the reviews, the 911 is universally viewed by the automotive press as perfection or as close to it as can currently be obtained.
