Charging a Term
When Porsche unveiled the world’s first production sports car with a turbo engine in 1974, the automotive world changed overnight. Over the past 50 years, the term “turbo” has undergone an exciting transformation: from the technology in the traditional sense to the “Turbo-look” with bulky enlargements and the protruding rear spoiler. While not featured in the model name, the 911 GT2 and the more recent 718 and 911 Carrera models are turbocharged, too. Ultimately, “Turbo” has become a brand name for the top version of the all-electric sports cars.
