600hp Porsche 993 Twin Turbo

Many auto enthusiasts consider the Porsche 911 to be one of the most iconic sports cars of the 20th Century. The basic form of the 911, which was designed by Butzi Porsche in 1963, has remained unchanged after 40 years and 5 platform changes. This feat is unmatched by any other automobile. The timeless design of the car continues to be loved by every generation of drivers year after year. The early models required careful attention, just like any precision machine. The 911 is practical, despite having only two seats at the rear. You might see a 911 Turbo with snow tires on the rear and skis on the front while on ski vacation in Austria. In those conditions, you wouldn’t see a Lamborghini or Ferrari. The 911’s fame was due to its unique handling characteristics and rear-mounted air-cooled boxer engine. It placed weight above the rear wheels. The car’s squatting, intimidating appearance was attributed to its flared rear arches and bulging wings. The 993 platform was the first to introduce technology to the 911. The 993 platform was equipped with all-wheel drive, traction control and a six-speed transmission. This allowed for significant improvements in cornering and allowed for more predictability. The 993 Turbo was a breakthrough in electronics and turbo technology. It used both all-wheel drive and two turbos for its first time since the 959. This 993 twin-turbo model with 408 HP, 398 ft/lbs torque and 398 ft/lbs was hailed as the ultimate supercar of its time. You can now increase that power by half to 600 horsepower and have the GermanCarFans.com featured car pictured above. You did indeed read that correctly. You can find 607 ponies and 602 ft/lbs torque. McLaren F1 territory is here with incredible handling and brakes, as well as amazing traction to get all that power down the road. Slingshot, rocket ship and Scotty engage warp drives are the only ways I can describe this acceleration. 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds! In 7.1 seconds, you can go from 0 to 100 mph!
