The Car Porn thread

The new 911 Turbo S gets reviewed:

Starting from the top, you hit Sport Plus, think balls to dialling yourself in and just floor the throttle. Utterly without hesitation, 553lb ft of torque and unbreakable four-wheel drive traction launch you down the road with such force you think the seat back might snap. Your conscious mind has been left behind so it's with instinct that you pull for another gear without lifting, at which point the Turbo S surges forward again with just the same intensity.

The tight corner that was once at the end of that long straight is just ahead now, so you stand on the brake pedal and the monster calipers and 410mm carbon rotors hang you in your seat belt. Tugging on the left hand paddle and staying hard on the brakes, you aim towards the apex. The front tyres dig in and the car attacks the clipping point with not a hint of wash. You force yourself back onto the power much earlier than seems appropriate, feeding it in as you wind off the lock. The process begins again.

I cannot apologise for posting this kind of pornography!

I thought this was pretty neat:

There are adaptive front and rear spoilers to increase downforce by 132kg at 186mph and active rear steering, which between them are worth four seconds around the Nordschleife, as well as bigger carbon brakes, more power and clever chassis systems that keep roll and lurch in check.

We've seen the active spoilers before in photos and videos when the new Turbo was showcased a while back. The thing is wider than the Carerra 4 which is pretty damn wide in itself.

Saying that, the GT-R is still faster and the reviewer does state the new 911 feels more like a car you hang on to than drive with all the electronics doing most of the work behind the scenes so the two cars really aren't that far apart any more (excluding price :p).

Sorry but this is definitely car porn again.

The new GT-R

Forgive my ignorance but have there been many other cars that have received updates so often? Looks to be at least one new GT-R model released every year.

Have Nissan decided that the Porsche approach of continual evolution is best or are they taking an approach similar to what Apple do?
 
I would definitely want the GT3, it may not be as fast as the Turbo but it would just be more awesome in other ways, especially visually :D

Some Lucra porn time.
