The Porsche 911 Twin Turbo X50 is :-

I am very pleased to say that I will own a brand new one in October this year, and I can't quite believe it :D

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 :cool:

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

That's very nice of you. Thank you :)
 
Ceramic brakes are great on the track, but require some heat before they work well. They are also an extra £7K. Big Reds are better for the road.
 
Flew up to Edinburgh a few weeks ago to look at a 360 Modena, only a few months old with just 1000 miles on the clock. Gorgeous on the outside, OK on the inside, but completely disappointing performance for a £100K+ car. Drove an X50 shortly after and it blew me a away with its perfectly balanced handling and awesome performance.

Buy a 360 to look cool. Buy a 911 Turbo X50 for the love of driving. No contest :cool:
 
Decided if I'm going to wait that long I'm having a custom colour. So in April 2004 I will take delivery of my new Avus Silver Pearl Effect 911 Turbo X50 :cool:
