Be sure to click, Act 3, Climb in, and then Sport Chrono Turbo. You will be treated to a sweet video of the new Turbo driving in the desert.

i was listening about the new dual variable turbo. It looked like there is a turbo on the exhaust system. Is this correct what I am seeing?

What do you mean turbo on the exhaust system? Turbos are always part of the exhaust system mounted on the exhaust manifold...

thanks sorry for my stupidity.
But also why are they using the 3.6 liter engine and not the 3.8 on the Turbo?

Better question as the Ruf RT 12 is a 3.8, correct?

Wow, cool...thanks for posting that!

Notes: In the intro, the 911 3.0 catches a cone in that video just before it cuts to the next seen.

In the Masterwerk section, interesting how the lights work, an LED parking light in the front as part of the turn signal...cool.

The aerodynamics section was weak, but whatever.

I can't beleive Sport Crono is an option, yet they can advertise the car with 500+ torque, you would think they all have to have it to put that number out. And, IMO, sport crono should be standard even if the owner has no clue on how to use it.

Nice find! The Porsche marketing is working on me, I am starting to like the car better already! Too bad I have a 700 hp monster or I might consider it, but the RED BEAST is still top dog for now.

Buddy, I think there are a lot of 996TT owners that have to be like married to their cars by now.

Greg - I totally agree with you. After ten years, I think it's still the best looking 911 ever made.

I was really hoping Porsche would incorporate a little more of the 993 than the 996 in the new TT but they still did a nice job.
