Modern Classics: Porsche 911 turbo
Everybody knows the Porsche 911 turbo, or thinks they do. It’s one of those rare cars which has attracted a fanatical cult following.
An early 3-litre is now very much a collectors’ item, something to be cosseted and preserved. Oddly enough, only a very small production run of 500 cars was planned when it was launched at the 1974 Paris motor show.
Porsche aimed only to homologate it for racing but, to everybody’s surprise, the car stole the show.
See the new 911 Turbo driven to the extreme around the tracks at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone.
