    Well, the Turbo S. A car that, in many ways, is a giant killer. For those of you who don’t know, a “giant killer” is a type of sports car that costs a fraction of the price of a supercar, yet matches or beats it’s level of performance. The 911 Turbo S certainly is not an inexpensive car, (MSRP: $160,700 without options) but it is roughly half the price of the Italian, blue-blooded 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. Yet the Lambo is no faster to sixty.<\/p>\n

    Ok, in the Aventador’s defense, it does pull away at the Quarter Mile at 10.5 secs and it will go to a top speed of 217 mph while the Turbo S only does 195mph. Awwwww boohoo, the Turbo S only does 195, who cares? No one. The Porsche is the definition of bad ass\u00a0German engineering taking a sledgehammer to the aristocratic Italian supercar’s panache and style at less than half the price. Sure, most people don’t have a clue what it is when they see it, but enthusiasts everywhere know that Turbo S’s mean business. Only drawback is that it isn’t quite as dynamic or as fast on a curvy racetrack as some of it’s mid-engined competitors like the Ferrari 458 or a front engined Nissan GTR or Corvette ZR1, but in a straight line it can’t be beat for the money. Oh, and by the way it is still very fast on a racetrack regardless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
