Porsche’s first production vehicle with a turbocharger to boost its power developed the almost incredible figure for the time of 260 HP (191 kW). With the energy crisis still fresh in mind, the 911 Turbo was a bold decision. This car immediately became one of the most popular in the model range. Its strengths were technology inspired by motor racing. Alongside turbocharging, these included principally the brakes and its aerodynamics.
