Ahhhh! Feels like going back in time when watching old episodes of Top Gear – a show that will forever stay in the hearts of many car fans. And guess what… Jeremy had lots of hair back then and there was the Black Stig. Too bad that when the Stig was setting the lap time at the Top Gear’s airport track it was raining and he couldn’t achieve a better time for the 911 Turbo.

For those of you that can’t really tell the difference between the models in the 911 line up there is a surprisingly simple explanation for you at the end of the video. You can watch the Top Gear’s review after the jump.

There is just no possible way a Porschephile (or any other car enthusiast for that matter) wouldn’t like Porsche’s advertisements. Always witty and make you dream a little. For me, they somehow remind me of my childhood memories when even seeing a Porsche was like a dream come true. Enjoy this brand new ad which was made for the PorscheEveryday.com website where owners are encouraged to share their stories of “making the mundane magical in their Porsche”. Watch the video after the jump.

Video: Porsche. Engineered for Magic. Every day.

“If you love cars, you’re gonna love this!” – Jason Plato. Enough said? Anyway, some mind blowing figures and facts about the 997 Turbo:

  • 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds (3.4 with the optional Tiptronic transmission)
  • Top speed of 193 mph (310 km/h)
  • 3.6 L flat-six turbocharged engine developing 480 PS (353 kW/473bhp) and 620 Nm (460 ft·lbff) of torque (equipped with the optional Sports Chrono package – 680 Nm)
  • AWD with PTM (Porsche Traction Management), which means greater stability and better traction on all kind of surfaces, compared to older AWD Porsche cars
  • Time of 7:38 at the famous Nordschleife track

Follow the jump to watch the video. (Just a note: from now on, I will be posting the videos this way, so that the front page takes less time to load)
