New Turbo is "Unbreakable"

Interesting article I found online from Road & Track. They do 61 back to back launches in a new 991 TTS.

At the Porsche sport driving schools they repeatably launch their cars day in and day out with no ill effects. I personally saw them do this with more than 50 people launching multiple time each. They do this day in and day out. Cars ran and felt just like normal. Incredible if you ask me.

Saw that too. Not like a BMW. At the school, they launch the car, do a hot lap, stop, launch the car again, repeat. Did it for everyone in the class. No cool down, nothing. No issues whatsoever.

You would be stunned to see what car companies do to their cars to test durability.....

Hence, I always laugh when I see the Nancy Boys in SUVs slowing down on the LIE for small potholes
