Porsche Turbo

Lorsque Porsche a introduit le turbocompresseur en course sous la forme de la 917 Can-Am, le petit constructeur allemand a changé la face du sport automobile. Mais il ne s'est pas contenté de la compétition : il a choisi d'appliquer cette technologie aussi aux modèles de tourisme.

En installant une version turbocompressé de son six-cylindres refroidi par air dans sa fameuse 911, il a donné naissance à la 930 Turbo. Dès l'instant où cette voiture est apparue, au printemps 1975, elle a révolutionné le concept de supercar.
Au fil des ans, le constructeur a appliqué sa technologie d'avant-garde à tous les modèles de la gamme, depuis le SUV Cayenne jusqu'à sa dernière supercar, la 918 Spyder de 887 ch.

"Porsche Turbo" présente l'histoire complète des Porsche dotées d'un turbocompresseur, y compris les 935, 924, 944, Cayman et Panamera.
