Spy Shot: Porsche 911 Turbo

Our spies at the legendary Nurburgring road circuit caught up with the sensational new Porsche 911 (997) Turbo undergoing punishing trials in coupe and cabriolet form. Porsche tried to put snoops off the scent by making the car's nose look like the previous-generation Turbo (996), but it is clear that this is the Stuttgart maker's next supercar slayer. GermanCarFans.com reports that the next Turbo will sport 460bhp and go on sale in the UK in spring 2006. GermanCarFans also suggests that the new car's improved underbody aerodynamics and more efficient bi-plane style rear wing should result in a top speed well in excess of the current car's 191mph, although 4Car wonders for whom 191mph is not sufficiently swift. The Turbo will also adopt a new four-wheel drive system that allows power to be fed to the individual wheel with the most grip, handy when you've got an awesome 460lb ft of torque (twisting power) to call upon. Expect the price to be in the region of £90,000

Oh man, I cant wait to see this car without all the masking. I already think the 911S looks good as hell, this will more than likely look better. Lovin that huge door lenght cooling duct on the rear fender.

460hp?? Doesnt the current 911 Turbo make 450-460hp?? Or am I thinking of the X50 or Turbo S model??

weird, the front headlights look like the 996?

but i definitely want to see that car, especially seeing how good the 997s is

I believe the current 911 Turbo has about 415 HP and about 415 lb/ft of torque.

Ya think he got to over 25K posts by actually READING threads before posting?

Nice thread. But the usual
1. Fatter rear
2. Bigger tires
3. Additional vents for cooling
4. Bigger wing

And its STILL fantastic. We need a Porsche sub-forum

This car is going to be a very useable monster.

This is awesome and all but just out of curiosity, why is there no one complaining about it becoming AWD, losing the RWD "fun factor" and all that?

Edit: Hmm didn't notice that the Turbo has been AWD for quite a while.
