You probably grew up with a few posters plastered on your dorm room wall. If you’re a car enthusiast, chances are that those posters were of sports cars. And at least one of those sports cars happened to be a Porsche, namely the legendary 911.

Arguably, it’s been branded better than almost any other car out there, sports or otherwise. The Porsche 911 screams “sports car” like an Apple MacBook whispers “laptop” and for pure driving pleasure, it’s tough to beat, unless the suffix turbo follows it. Well, feast your eyes on the most technologically advanced 911 Porsche has ever built, the Porsche 911 Turbo.

As Winston Wolfe would say, let’s get down to brass tacks, gentlemen. This 911 Turbo will reach a top speed of 193mph. It can reach this velocity due mainly to a Variable Turbine Technology twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat six that generates 480 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and an asphalt-wrinkling 505 pound-feet in “overboost” mode.

The 911 Turbo will accelerate you to 60mph in 3.4 seconds and will gobble up a ¼ miles’ worth of tarmac in 11.7 seconds, bringing you closer to the realization that you really don’t need to take that flight up into space. All for the bargain basement price of $129,650, or the cost of roughly eleven 2009 smart fortwos.
