Porsche 911 (991.II) Turbo S: POTW
The latest generation of that iconic poster car, preened and prepped for your desktop wallpaper
Hands up who had a 911 Turbo on their bedroom wall?

on their bedroom wall? Yes it's never been the most exotic supercar, but its combination of tremendous speed, slight fear factor and (usually) big rear spoiler have made it great poster fodder.

This week we've driven the latest generation, which is of course yet faster still. Furthermore, beyond the cosmetic and mechanical updates already discussed, new colours have been introduced to the 911 Turbo colour palette: Lava Orange, as featured in the drive story and borrowed from the GT3 RS, plus Miami Blue seen here.

It's a stunning colour, reminiscent of Riviera Blue and a real visual treat either gleaming in the sunshine or a little grimy in the rain. Where it was on a special order options list previously, it can now be specced (at extra cost) as part of the normal ordering process. There is no price yet, but it could well be worth the premium...

So it seemed the perfect colour for a Pic of the Week subject. A gloomy sky at Kyalami seems less of a problem with this around!
