2007 Porsche 911 Turbo

“If you love cars, you’re gonna love this!” – Jason Plato. Enough said? Anyway, some mind blowing figures and facts about the 997 Turbo:

  • 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds (3.4 with the optional Tiptronic transmission)
  • Top speed of 193 mph (310 km/h)
  • 3.6 L flat-six turbocharged engine developing 480 PS (353 kW/473bhp) and 620 Nm (460 ft·lbff) of torque (equipped with the optional Sports Chrono package – 680 Nm)
  • AWD with PTM (Porsche Traction Management), which means greater stability and better traction on all kind of surfaces, compared to older AWD Porsche cars
  • Time of 7:38 at the famous Nordschleife track

Follow the jump to watch the video. (Just a note: from now on, I will be posting the videos this way, so that the front page takes less time to load)
