Porsche 911 Turbo

Porsche 911 Turbo is surely one of the fastest sport cars in the world at the moment but of course, there are still some car tuning companies, like Hamann that can modify anything, from Mini Cooper to Ferrari. If you are not pleased with the car’s initial power (480 HP), Hamann created a special performance tuning kit called Hamann Stallion that will boost the engine’s power to 630 HP. To gain this additional power they changed the car’s turbocompressors with new ones that are bigger and stronger and they also installed a new exhaust system made from stainless steel and they modified the car’s engine cooling unit. But the guys from Hamann weren’t pleased only with engine modifications. They also cut around 8 cm from the car’s roof, they equipped the car with 20″ rims, Lambo doors and they also made a lot of modifications to the car’s body kit to make it more aerodynamic. In the end, thanks to all these modifications, the new 911 Turbo will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and it could reach a maximum speed of 359 km/h.

Car companies test their prototypes under extreme conditions. For heat, they go to Death Valley or Dubai. For cold, they head to the Arctic Circle. But in the case of the next 911 Turbo, Porsche appears to be testing it in the intense publicity of Hollywood. A sharp-eyed driver says he caught a glimpse of what appear to be two 991-series Turbos cruising through Los Angeles yesterday, and was able to snap these pictures through his own vehicle’s windows. The stone-faced displeasure in the driver of one of the Porsches is particularly funny; dude, if you don’t want people taking pictures of your prototypes, don’t drive them through the motion picture capital of the world. The first 991-series 911 models are expected to appear in showrooms next year; Porsche usually introduces the Turbo model one to two years later, but considering these rather-complete-looking prototypes, the shorter end of that range seems more likely this time around.
