A Car Built to Offer the Best in Performance

There is no doubt that Porsche performance is one of the best in the market. Porsche, a German automobile, was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. The first Porsche car was the Porsche 356. It was a sports car and resembled the Volkswagen.

The tradition of producing great cars was continued by the founder's grandson, who came up with the 911. Porsche 911 soon over took the 356. It had a very attractive sloping bonnet with "frog eye" headlights. The 911 Porsche performance and aesthetic appeal became the foundation stone of Porsche's identity.

In the 1990s, the company realized that the typical Porsche features were timeless. And that is one of the reasons why the 911 series have been so successful. For over four decades Porsche has been honing this model and coming up with fresh, exciting and extraordinary features.

Features
In 2007-2008, Porsche introduced the Porsche 911 Turbo, the sixth generation of the 911 series. This latest model features many improvements over the last model.

• It has an output of 480 bhp at 6,000 rpm. • 3.6 liter engine. • Rated torque of 620 Nm and maximum torque available between 1,950 and 5,000 rpm. • Six speed manual transmission. • Pick up speed of 3.9 seconds from zero to 100km/h.
• A mileage of 12.8 liters per 100km. • All wheel-drive with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch.

As far as the performance is concerned, everyone is talking about how great the latest 911 Porsche performance is. Its redesigned all-wheel drive transfers the available power to the road. Its Porsche Traction Management (PTM) facilitates variable power distribution to the two driven axles. This means that whether you are driving in the rain or snow, or on narrow country roads, your Porsche Turbo will offer optimal performance even at high speed.

Besides the 911 series, Porsche Carrera GT is another favorite amongst car lovers. This model was built as a racecar for the streets. Its V10 engine offers huge power and its carbon fiber construction renders it a sleek look.

Features
It is easy to recognize this model if you see it on the road- it is low, sleek and very lightweight. It features include:-
• A 5.7 liter engine.
• 605 horsepower.
• Monocoque chassis with Porsche patented engine.
• Ceramic composite clutch.
• Its aerodynamics and race-bred suspension package makes it a fast and a safe car.
• It accelerates from standing to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds.

This Porsche Cerrera has many unique features. It uses a high tech braking system which incorporates ceramic brakes for the first time. Its breaking system consists of massive 15 inch ventilated discs and six piston calipers. Its high tech breaking system is able to bring the car to a definite and safe stop, no matter what the speed is.

Porsche cars are known for their high performance and great looks. However, these cars also come with a big price tag which not many people can afford. If you love this car and are desperate to own one, you can always look for a used Porsche car. There are always some great deals available in the market. However, ensure that you are dealing with a genuine vendor who knows all about the car and is trustworthy.
