If you like fried eggs and going real, real fast, I may have just the car for you. We’re talking about the Porsche 9 11 Turbo, specifically the 9 9 6 generation. With its twin turbocharged Mezger engine and all wheel drive, the 9 9 6 is probably the single fastest car you can buy for under 50 grand today. So the core of the 9 9 6 Turbo is the legendary 3.6 liter twin turbocharged flat six Mazda engine producing 415 horsepower and the same for torque. Unlike its naturally aspirated 9 9 6 siblings, the turbo engine is derived from Porsche’s Le Mans winning GT1, making it one of the most robust engines ever put in a 9 11. And this can be paired up with either a six speed manual or five speed automatic transmission and can sprint from 0 to 60 in just over four seconds. With a top speed of 189 miles an hour. These things are pretty bulletproof, but one weak point is the coolant pipe things which can fail over time due to their plastic construction. This is a pretty expensive fix, but one that is basically a requirement for 9 9 6 Turbo ownership. Now on the modification front, the 9 9 6 Turbo absolutely shines. A popular upgrade path includes a Client Innovations exhaust system paired with a tune from Cobra. G I a C. Can easily push the power to over 500. Adding upgraded intercoolers and a larger turbo setup such as A set of K16 16G Hybrids can push the car even further into supercar territory, with 600 horsepower achievable on pump gas. Now you need some wheels and tires to put all that power down and you know we’ve got you covered there. The Porsche 9 9 6 Turbo may not have the allure of its round headlight equipped counterparts, but with its bulletproof Mezger engine and immense tuning potential, it’s a force to be reckoned with. For those in the know, it’s one of the best performance bargains in the Porsche lineup.
