Spotted!! New Porsche 997 Turbo!

High altitude testing in Colorado, this Porsche (1 in a group of 4 identical) was spotted on Squaw Pass (Mt. Evans) last Sunday.

Planned for sale in Europe in the spring, then in the U.S. thereafter, this new model is said to exceed the 191 mph of it's predecessor 911.

Nice job

See now there is more than one way for a MINI owner to catch a P-car . Nice shot.

I finally got to reading my latest Autoweek, simply drooling over the 997. Then I saw that you were the owner of the pics. All I know is that if I am glad it was not me up there when the Pcars flew by. I would have wrecked the MINI after seeing these machines...Good job
