New 997 Turbo Barely Disguised

Our spies from the cold caught up with the sensational new Porsche 911 (997) Turbo, and for the first time ever they snapped the car bare of any disguising. The next Turbo will sport 460bhp and go on sale in spring 2006. It is also said 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 305 km/h, although we wonder for whom that speed 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 460 ft/lbs of torque to call upon. Expect the price to be in the region of 130,000 Euros.

It's amazing how Porsche can just keep refining the same recipe and keep blowing us away - this car is just totally perfect.

So true.
Porsche is the only automaker that has continued with the same basic architecture for several decades and continues to amaze and stay very modern.

Damn, I want that car.
