Of course, numbers like these can only be produced by a lot of muscle. The mid-engine 911 Turbo is supplied by twin turbocharger units, which come together seamlessly in order to produce 500 BHP (yes...500!) at 6,000 RPM. Amazingly, this kind of power is produced from just 3.8 liters of displacement. The six-cylinder engine is lightweight, compact, and at a level of perfection that cannot be matched by anyone with less experience, and the fact is, no one has more experience. The 911 was introduced to the public in 1963 and landed in show room floors in the summer of 1964. It is the longest running production car being manufactured today. The Turbo edition of the 911 wasn't sold until 1975 and is today the only variation, which sends its power to all four wheels.

Its newest claim to fame is efficiency. Despite its increase in performance over the previous 996 model, fuel consumption has been reduced by 16% and CO2 emissions have been dropped by 18%. This is mostly due to the recent implementation of direct fuel injection (DFI). If you were spending more than 100 grand on a car wouldn't you want to avoid the gas guzzler tax as well?

There is more to this car than just mind blowing performance. The new Porsche 911 Turbo comes available with numerous options and the entire interior comes wrapped in leather from the factory as stock equipment. Sources say that PETA is chasing Porsche for this ostentatious decision, but they just can't catch them. With the kind of engineering this car is packing, it wouldn't be a shock if we saw lawsuits coming from NASA soon as well.

Other standard equipment includes a 13-speaker Bose sound system, on-board computer, navigation, and (as not to always be expected of Porsche) two front seat cup holders. The cup holders are of a mediocrity not common for Porsche, but the general consensus is that if you use the cup holders in a bloodthirsty 500-horse power speed machine, you don't know how to drive it.

When people imagine the name ‘Porsche', it is safe to say that a large amount instantly think of a big wing on the back of a car which always has on evil grin plastered to its face. The 911 turbo is the reason for this image. It is beautiful. It is efficient. It is cutting edge. It is fast. I want one.

Just look at this 911 Turbo Cabriolet in grey. Oooft.

Another real nice example and the white is totally growing on me. I know there seem to be loads of white cars kicking about, but this 911 turbo does look good in it's white paintwork. Looks like it was a nice night down in Stonehaven. If anyone is ever up in this part of Scotland, there is possibly one of the best roads I have driven called the Slug road.

It starts with a mile or so winding upwards struggle, hairpin after hairpin, then tops out in a pine forest. The decline is about a 3 mile flat out straight, chicane, another straight, then brake brake brake for a 20 mph left hander that just seems to jump at you even though you know it's coming. Once you reach this point the best thing to do is turn right back around and do it all again!!

Ask any local car lover to point you in the right direction.

‘Grrrr...pssccchhht’…you know the sound. Something about the noise a Turbo makes that just instils a sense of power and speed. Even when just idling.

Okay...so far, not exactly worthy of a post, but bare with me!

I looked in my mirror and the driver looked mid 30's with long hair, and shock-horror....a woman! Who would have though it?!?

Why this seems so unusual I'm not entirely sure. It's fairly common to see female Boxster drivers I guess?

She looked pretty cool sitting low down in the Turbo, shades on, grey business suit, and tapping along to some music. No doubt some really cool music I've never heard of. Her window was down slightly and I’m convinced I could hear Abba, but we'll move on.

The Turbo comes across as quite a masculine car, so seeing a woman in control of it was something of an unexpected revelation.

I used to drive an mx5..I know I know 'hair dressers car'. It was an amazing driving experience to be honest and gave me the rear wheeled drive bug. I would buy one again...I figured the Mx5 was a female car...a 'she' or 'her'.

So is a 911 male or female? A 997 Targa would be female (imho). But a Turbo? Probably male? Or a fiery red headed female? Does it depend on the colour?

This all got me thinking and a carrying on down the road I was overtaken by a Scooby WRX. 'Arg...annoying. Why, oh why, do their owners need to be so aggressive...bl**dy Subaru drivers...oh wait. Another woman driver. Good for her...floor it! …after you – I insist!'.

So a male driving a Scooby = annoying, woman driving a Scooby = cool. Now I'm confusing myself. Does the key to not looking like a berk involve own a car with the opposite sex as you? After all a Subaru is surely male?

Either way she looked amazing...the Turbo of course!
