It’s hotter than jalapeno, it’s hotter than the Sahara and Jay Leno said it’s hotter than Megan Fox. And it’s the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo. It’s currently competing with the ridiculously-fast James Bond-car Aston Martin V8 Vintage, the breathtaking Maserati Gran Turismo, and the Transporter-driven Audi R8. In the world of performance-tuned super luxury sports cars, the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo is a hotshot. If you were impressed by last year’s model, you’ll be floored by the 2010’s mechanical upgrades.
In addition to being sexy, powerful and agile, the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo features 90hp more Horsepower, 154 lbs Less Filling which add a bit of practicality to the mix. Not surprisingly, the latest 911 is named as the fastest and most powerful road-going sports car ever built in the history of Porsche
The new 911 Turbo just hit the dealer lots this week, priced to start from $132,800 for the Coupe and $143,800 for the Cabriolet. That’s a nice chunk of change, but it’s nothing compared to many of the cars in its performance class.
First it was the Cayenne, next was Panamera, we thought it would end with the 911 GT2 and now this: the 911 Turbo, Porsche’s latest addition to the 500+ horsepower club. Thanks to a larger six-cylinder engine – 3.8 liters versus 3.6 in last year’s Turbo – and direct injection engine, lays down a mean 3.2-second 0-60 mph time and screams on 196 mph, the new 911 Turbo securing nearly double the Porsche Boxster’s audacity. A Five-speed manual is standard; with Porsche’s Six-speed dual-clutch transmission replacing last year’s five-speed Tiptronic as the automatic option and is the icing on the cake.
A 500hp and 25mpg car? I bet there’s no other car company that can do that! My next car will be a Porsche. 2010 Porsche 911Turbo? Definitely!
