Porsche 997 Turbo

It’s hard to think of another road car that nails the sweet spot between raw-edged trackday tool and everyday usability with the precision of the new Porsche. Just the right number of comfort layers have been peeled away to reveal the harder, sharper 911 beneath.

Specifications of the Porsche 997 Turbo

The weight-paring measures of Porsche’s Motorsport Department have delivered a formidable power-to-weight ratio of 298bhp-per-ton. The car will top 190mph and hit sixty in four seconds. And yet, thanks to the wonders of PASM, nestling beside this weapon-like fitness for purpose is a pliant, civilized character that broadens the GT3’s appeal to that of comfortable, mile-munching GT at the flick of a switch.
