Porsche 997 Turbo
The sixth generation 911 Turbo, and although the impeccably balanced 420 horsepower 996 Turbo seemed to be an impossible act to follow, Porsche has managed to do this by combining the new 997 platform with the latest in turbo charging technology to create a 480 horsepower, all wheel drive rocket ship that blasts from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Astonishingly, that time is achieved with the 5-speed Tip-tronic automatic transmission that is 0.3 seconds quicker than a 6-speed manual equipped version.
