GGG: Round 18 - Porsche 911 Turbo

[buickgnx88]

Introduced in 1975, the 911 Turbo was sold to be able to qualify in FIA Group 4 racing. Since then, there has been a turbo version for each of the generations (with the 930 having two different versions). Which of these Autobahn racers is your favorite?

930 3.0

930 3.3

964

993

996

997

991

Had to go 993, great looks, last of the air-cooled, AWD, and...well...Arena Red

'89 930. I have to go with that one.

964 in Speed Yellow just speaks volumes to me....

That's a Turbo S.

Ditto for me, Arena Red 993 and nothing else. The shape is absolutely perfect.

I have to go with 996. Wasn't easy to chose, don't have an actual reason for it, maybe the looks I guess.

 

[AlvaroF]

The 993 Turbo S in yellow is my dream car. Obviously it gets my vote.

 

[TheCracker]

The 964 is my favourite generation of 911. The Turbo combines traditional Turbo detailing - whale tail, flared arches with some more modernised touches - revised body-colour bumpers, larger wheels etc.

964.

Retains the lovely proportions of the older cars, but much nicer to drive with power steering and ABS.

I suppose it doesn't matter all that much that the 993 in the poll is a Turbo S. If the S models were included, I think the 964 would get my vote.

But I went with the 996, surprisingly. It's always been my favorite non-S Turbo.

991. Its the most complete evolution of the Turbo lineage.

964. Vintage saggy butt with fresh bumpers. Classic.

 

[Sting]

993. I really like the originals, but I like the refinement of the design that became the 993.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I love the 997 Turbo because it segways into the GT2 RS, which is my favourite Porsche.

 

[UltimateYosh]

A Toss-up for me between the 964 and 993, but I really do like the 964.

Ooo, this is a close run thing between the 964 and 993. When push comes to shove, I'd take the 964 RS and a 993 turbo. The rear wing on the 993 works better than any of the other models, past and since.
