There is one sports car that stands above all others in compatibility and it is called the Porsche 911 turbo.

But if I have to think realistically and choose a car that will be fast around the Nürburgring and be fun to drive every day, summer and winter in our elongated country, then the Porsche 911 turbo is in a class of its own.

If there is one car model that probably needs no further introduction, it is the Porsche 911. A classic sports car built on an old concept. Actually an outdated concept with a so-called tail engine placed behind the rear axle. But thanks to Porsche pumping in money and engineering hours, they have managed to modernize the concept and make 911 better with each generation. Every time a new generation of Porsche 911 is introduced, it is almost as fast as the worst and most tuned version of the generation before it. A very impressive feat, to say the least.

As a motoring journalist and photographer, I often get asked which car is the best and which one I would choose if I had to choose only one. Of course, it's a difficult question to answer because there are so many cars I dream of owning. But if I have to think realistically and choose a car that will be fast around Nurburgring and be fun to drive every day, summer and winter in our elongated country, then the Porsche 911 Turbo is in a class of its own.

The 911 Turbo that is at my disposal this time is in a shimmering blue color that brings to mind the sea on a warm summer day. The paintwork sparkles when the sun hits the surface, just like when the sun sparkles on the waves. The leather interior is cream-colored with black accents and silver details. Tasteful and sober in a perfect combination.

I find my place quickly because everything is placed in such a way that you as the driver have one hundred percent control.

Under the hood there is a jewel with roots far back in Porsche history. It is a six-cylinder boxer engine, i.e. an engine where the cylinders lie flat in a horizontal position. The English name “flat six” describes very well how the engine is constructed. The characteristic sound of the boxer engine always puts a smile on my face and this car is, just as the name suggests, also equipped with a turbo. Or, two turbochargers to be more precise. The total power you get out of this jewel is 580 horsepower. There is also an S version with a breathtaking 650 horses. However, I can promise that the regular 911 Turbo model without the S and “only” 580 horses is more than enough every day of the week.

Driving a 911 Turbo feels really special. Almost everyone who knows what a car is knows what a Porsche is. If you have a little knowledge of Porsche models, it doesn't take much to distinguish a 911 from the rest. If you have a good understanding of the different versions of the 911, you know what the person who drives the one with the Turbo designation has access to under their right foot. On the bare 2.8 seconds you reach 100 kilometers per hour with the feeling that every cell in your body is being moved backwards by the acceleration. If you continue to hold the pedal down, you will reach 200 after just 9.7 seconds. Only when the speedometer needle stops at 320 kilometers per hour have you reached top speed. All this happens with extreme power, but at the same time incredibly well-balanced and calm. Porsche has really succeeded in making 911 Turbo into a usable super sports car!
