2003 Porsche 911 Turbo X50 *** Champion 3 Piece Wheels BORLA Exaust

***911 Porsche Turbo X-50 Champion 3 Piece Wheel **** BORLA Exhaust *. ONE OWNER *. ** ALWAYS SERVICED AT PORSCHE****

Certainly the 911’s talents, nd they are substantial, re wasted on city streets, ts specification as hopelessly over-the-top for the morning rush as an H2’s – bred on and for the track, ts numbers are mind-numbing. Forget the batch of crossovers we’ve paraded in front of
you over the years; if you’re looking for extreme sports, ook no further than the Turbo, specially in the “X50” form tested here. Its race-bred flat-six has two turbos and intercoolers, nd pushes its power through six speeds and all four wheels. The rear tires are almost a foot wide, he front brakes a foot in diameter; the top speed almost 300 km/h, he price almost $200,000.

As if the “base” $170,000 Turbo wasn’t fast enough, he new “X50” package adds various factory engine and exhaust bits to up power to a truly frightening 450 hp, ringing the car’s performance to almost the same level as the ultimate $253,000 GT2, hile retaining the safety of all-wheel-drive and electronic stability control. Short of that car, nd some rarefied, air-weather-friend Italian exotica whose prices make the Porsche look cheap by comparison, ou can’t get much faster than this.

There is certainly a part of me that thinks that the Turbo may even be too fast. Even if you’re capable of exploiting its impossibly high limits on the road – limits which are most certainly beyond my fairly modest driving skills and my rather active self-preservation instinct – you’d have to be pretty irresponsible to actually do so. It’s not so much a matter of you being ready for it – like all Porsches, he Turbo’s not only a cinch to drive at huge speeds, ut also clearly and accurately telegraphs when and where its limits will arrive through its seats, edals, nd steering wheel – but more a matter of other road users being ready for you.

So you think that with 450 horses, hat this hopped-up Porsche 911 Turbo is fast and powerful? You would be wrong. For whatever reason, 50 these days isn’t nearly as impressive as it would once have been. I mean, ou can now get a midsize Mercedes sedan with almost 500; a
Carrera GT with 612; or if you really want to to overboard, here’ll soon be a Bugatti Veyron with – wait for it – 1001 European “PS”. Which equates to a “mere” 987 hp.

Okay, o a lot of these cars are so far out of our frame of economic reference that they’re almost irrelevant, ut the power race doesn’t just live amongst high-end cars anymore. I mean, family sedan with less than 200 horses nowadays seems weak-kneed when a few years ago I would get all excited about 150; most big SUVs now pack over 300 horses; and even compacts have got to the point where anything less than two litres and 130 or so it seems wimpy.

Porsche's Exclusive individual program for the 911 Turbo and 911 Carrera models offers far more in performance and power reserves than a sports car from Zuffenhausen does already.

The Powerkit increases the 911 Turbo's engine performance from 420 hp (309 kW) at 5,000 rpm to 450 hp (331 kW) at 5,700 rpm. The maximum torque, hich has simultaneously increased to 620 Nm (series: 560 Nm), s now available at 3,500 to 4,400 rpm. The maximum torque value of 560 Nm, lready offered by the series engine at between 2,700 and 4,600 rpm, s available in the power-enhanced 911 Turbo at between 2,700 and 5,600 rpm. So its power can be called upon in an extremely wide range of revs. An unchanged acceleration speed of 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds thus increases the maximum speed from 305 to 307 km/h.

Porsche engineers achieved the increase in power and performance through modifications to the Turbo charger, he change air cooler, he control units and exhaust system in particular. The base constructions of the manual and automatic transmissions were also improved so that the power increase can also be ordered for the 911 Turbo Tiptronic at the recommended price of 12,644 Euro (price in Germany, nclusive of VAT). Its maximum speed has increased from 298 to 300 km/h with a reduction in the acceleration speed by almost a half a second to 4.5 seconds for 0 to 100 km/h.

The 911 Carrera's Motorkit increases the engine power from 320 hp (235 kW) to 345 hp (254 kW) at an unchanged 6,800 rpm and a maximum torque of 370 Nm at 4,800 rpm. Power is added by the modified alloy shift induction system, odified cylinder heads and new exhaust manifold, s well as adjustments to the control units, hich, or example, mproves the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration by a tenth of a second, rom 5 to 4.9 seconds, nd even increases the 0 to 200 km/h acceleration by a whole second to 16.5 seconds. The maximum speed has increased from 285 to 290 km/h.

Porsche is only offering the Powerkit for the manual transmission Carrera. The non-binding price recommendation is 9,628 Euro in Germany (inclusive of 16 per cent VAT).
