MotorWeek | Retro Review: '91 Porsche 911 Turbo

I'm not afraid to rock a Rasberry 911. What other crazy Porsche colors would you rock?

Any Porsche from any time period I like. The song playing on the radio is Sade's 1984 hit "Smooth Operator".

after the last few years of  10+  shades of silver, these colors are like a breath of fresh air....or at least a pleasant memory ;)

Wow. That black 1975 turbo was a dream...

I'd rock a yellow one.  Porsches are among the only cars that look good to me in yellow.

[PrinceSmithActor]

No John, I'm glad to have you with ME!

[karmatose]

It'd be pretty cool to see this entire episode.

Man I miss these days! This was when Porsche quality actually meant something. None of this pop the hood and see an abundance of recycled water bottles (plastic) everywhere. Not only that, but Porsche engineers were better back then, now all we have is one disaster after another: IMS, RMS, scored cylinders, coolant pipes, etc. The amount of scored cylinders that have been popping up in Porsche engines is alarming... What the hell is going on over in Stuttgart these days where they can't even build a engine to LAST?

To me, all 911's look really good through the 993's. The 996 was a huge step back. My dream car would be a 1996 911 turbo

This is a great looking car, really stands the test of time.

[Porschedriver]

Nothing like the sound and incredible grip out of a corner like a 911.

The colour is violet sternrubin!
Beautifull!!!

I have this old episode on VHS and it has the '57 Speedster, the 959 and 917 (w/ Vic Elford) as well. The 917 segment was pretty cool.

Good thing John Davis had some extra protection in the form of elbow pads to protect him from the 911 Turbo

[joer.]

What a special car.Thank you for this video.

Nothing worst than tests/reviews with Estimated performances. That's like watching a professional sports game but no one kept score.

I like the older ones as they were small and for the most part lighter than the newer ones. (new one is 9" longer, just under an 1" wider, 4.5" taller and 386 lbs heavier (sure the new ones are AWD...but they don't add that much weight). Craziest thing is the 1991s were over $100k in as tested prices already, New ones are in the $166k ranges as tested.

I'd take a 1974 911 RSR ;-)

I saw a black 911 turbo back in 1991 at a showroom floor here In Finland.
I was really surprised by the poor paint finish. Heavy orange peel effect all around.

Imagine being able to listen to that everyday 2:38

[mromatic]

I can’t believe these are worth 6 figures plus now!

[jacobjames]

To me the 959 looks dated. I like the style of this bad boy.
