Don’t let the name of this power machine scare you, the 2001 Porshe 911 Turbo is a monster of a fast and furious car.  Porsche first introduced a 911 Turbo to the US in 1976 and since that year they have improved the model every year.  The original 911 Turbo produced 234 horsepower and could accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just under six seconds, quite fast for that time.

Today, with a 415-horsepower twin-turbo engine, all-wheel drive, and exclusive styling, the 2001 911 Turbo takes its place at the top of the Porsche model line and in the top echelon of the supercar category. The 911 Turbo can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.2 seconds. On the test track, the car can achieve a top track speed of 189 mph.

According to Luxury Motor specs, the unique design features include bi-xenon headlight clusters and a two-piece rear stabilizer wing. The upper portion of the wing automatically raises at speeds above 75 mph and lowers at speeds below 50 mph.  Derived form the Porsche GT1 race car, the 3.6-liter, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine features dual intercoolers and produces 26.8 psi maximum boost-more than double any previous 911 Turbo.

Now, don’t you think it’s high time to get inside one of these babies?  For only $77,995 you can drive it away today.
