From Porsche's Exclusive Catalogue :-

The Turbo Performance Kit (X50) - For the 911 Turbo, we've modified a number of key engine and drivetrain components, including turbochargers, intercoolers and gearbox. Given the extent of the modifications involved, the Turbo Performance Kit is only available as a factory fitted option.

Basically GT2 turbos and other stuff upgraded to cope with the power

Other options? Sat Nav, but most stuff is already standard on the turbo. It's really just trim, colour etc.

Two turbos is just greedy

Lend one to Eyedot

0 - 100 - 0 mph 13.02 secs

The first time I read that I thought it just said 0-100 so I was gonna say that it can't be right.

Then I noticed the extra "back to 0mph" bit and realised

Very, very nice car. I'm sure that part of it must be owned by me, for all the purchases I've made with yourselves, maybe the ashtray or summat

Jaguar XJR, with a 911 close behind

You dont get better than a X50..

the GT2 is technically more powerful, but IMHO I would have the X50 over it any day... that much power you NEED 4wd


It will even arrive before my GT3


Congrats Mark

Are you definately getting a GT3, Eyedot? Is it going to be a brand new one and when do you get it?

Why don't you get an X50 instead
