Porsche 911 Turbo – Turbocharged ’70s Thrills
For baby boomers, the 911 Turbo was the ultimate symbol that you made it. The turbocharged sports car was uber-popular with up-and-coming stock brokers, real estate tycoons, and really almost everyone else successful in that era. Even Scarface had to go out and get himself one. The 911 Turbo had the type of image and horsepower that was synonymous with the new age of young people at the time. This was also one of the fastest Porsche models that were ever produced. The car had a great run, with plenty of subtle changes along the way (via Stuff Cars).
The 911 Turbo didn’t change very much throughout its original run. Even well into the 1990s the car still maintained the same signature design, and that was ok with enthusiasts of the car. There aren’t a lot of cars that made the type of impact that 911 did. It is still highly regarded as one of the most influential sports cars on the road. The look and feel of it coupled with the performance is an iconic part of automotive history.
