It is interesting to read some of the reviews on the FL Turbo. It seems as the model is moving away from being a comfort cruiser...

The 993 Turbo is the best IMO. Give me that and 928GTS for my modern classic Porsche garage.

The twin-turbocharged TAG racing engine from 2006
Something's amiss. This is not a Porsche 911 twin-turbo engine. This is the McLaren-TAG Porsche-engineered twin-turbo engine that powered McLaren Formula One cars from 1984-1987. It was a championship winning engine that, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with a 911 turbo. This is a V6 twin turbo - it wouldn't even fit in the back of a 911 - a not a flat-six turbo a la 911 turbo tradition.

Quote:
Having been very successful with turbocharged cars in the 1970s, Porsche returned to Formula One in 1983 after nearly two decades away, supplying water cooled V6 turbo engines badged as TAG units for the McLaren Team. For aerodynamic reasons, the Porsche-typical flat engine was out of the question for being too wide. The TAG engine was designed to very tight requirements issued by McLaren's John Barnard-he specified the physical layout of the engine to match the design of his proposed car. The engine was funded by TAG who retained the naming rights to it, although the engines bore "made by Porsche" identification. TAG-Porsche-powered cars took two constructor championships in 1984 and 1985, three driver crowns between 1984 and 1986. The engines powered McLaren to 25 victories between 1984 and 1987.

Nice post, 911 really is a timeless beauty with no compromises on reliability & performance! My favorite 911 is the 996-Gt2!
