In the area of motor sports, Porsche has a proud record and tradition based on providing competitive cars to private teams. The Porsche record of success, built on race track performance, is faithfully fed back to Porsche street cars. The 911 GT3 stereet version completed the northern circuit of the Nurburgring track in seven minutes 58 seconds to set a course record for a standard production car. The 911 GT3R won in its class at this year's Le Mans and achieved a debut win in Japan that is still fresh in the minds of many. Display Cars New 911 Turbo Turbo-charged Porsches won various victories as race cars in the early seventies. Based on their absolute dependability, in 1974 the 911 Turbo debuted as a production car (code named "930") and astounded motor sports fans all over the world with its speed. In particular, owners marvelled at its body-pinning acceleration. The new 911 Turbo offers a top speed of 305 km/h and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. Its 3.6-liter engine has the specs that will become tomorrow's standards. The twin turbo-charged six-cylinder engine fitted with an intercooler outputs a maximum of 420 ps (309 kW) at 6,000 rpm and produces maximum torque of 560 Nm at 2,700 rpm. But the special features of the new 911 Turbo go beyond the performance of its engine and its drivability. The generous range of standard features and a revised body design are also major attractions. The front and rear end designs set the new 911 Turbo apart from the rest of the 911 family, while flared fenders emphasize the car's power.

The full range of standard features includes 17-inch light-alloy wheels, a special roof liner for the soft top, and an alarm system with interior surveillance. Special trim features such as titanium-colored air scoops at the front, red brake callipers, and twin exhaust pipes help set the Boxster S apart from the standard version.
