2006 Porsche 911 Turbo
The new Porsche 911 Turbo, due out in about a year, will probably come with a slightly higher displaced engine (3.8L versus 3.6L) and is estimated to produce 480 hp. Well, some people estimate 450 hp, but Automobile estimates 480, which I like much better than 450. Maybe that'll be the difference between the Turbo and Turbo S. The current 911 Turbo makes 415 hp and the 911 Turbo S makes 444 hp. So 480 hp isn't too far off. I'll believe the 480 hp estimate.
Regardless, it'll be a very fast car, with 0-60 mph in well under 4 seconds (rumored to be 3.7 seconds according to Discount Part Center). Most notable visual changes are the wider rear fenders, which will house even wider tires than before. In the fenders will also be large air intakes. And of course, the round front headlights will be prevalent, like the rest of the new 911 line-up. I can't wait...
