“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)

The 911 GT3 RS is 5 seconds behind the Cup edition car, but that doesn’t make it less fun. Play the video and see for yourself.

They definitely have the balls to do some breath taking drifting on the corners.

The Cayman, compared to its Japanese rival – the Nissan 350Z, gives better times at the following: braking, slalom and handling.
