| 2016 Porsche 911 Spied Testing: Mild Facelift and Sub-Turbo Turbo Models Coming |
Jan 21st, 2015 |
|
Late last year, reports surfaced that Porsche was to expand the 911’s availability of turbocharged flat-sixes beyond the eponymous Turbo and Turbo S models—and soon.

Earlier this month, Ford Racing released a tire-smoking, V-8–screaming video celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, featuring eight modded Stangs and the drifting skills of Vaughn Gittin Jr., Chris Forsberg, and Ryan Tuerck.
