Porsche 997 Turbo PDK (Gen 2)

Stung by Nissan’s GT-R, Porsche has thoroughly revised its turbo flagship.  

The Porsche has a seven-speed, dual-clutch PDK transmission and a simplified ‘Sport’ steering wheel incorporating conventional +/- paddle-shifters.

The car is visually stunning, there are new titanium-coloured louvres for the front side air ducts, sleeker looking double-arm door mirrors, larger tailpipes and circular LED daytime driving lamps.

There’s not much you’d hesitate to give a friendly ‘please move over’ flash to, either – not even a Nissan GT-R.  In fully sprint-optimised form 0-62mph is done in 3.4sec and 0-100mph nailed in 7sec dead, while the claimed top speed is 193mph.Perhaps the new Turbo’s best trick is the way it folds its weightier, wider power-band into a tidier, lither and more supple chassis.

As an all-weather, all-purpose, everyday supercar, this is a spectacular example!
