The 930 in general I mean...not this one in particular...which is a great example nonetheless :P
What makes this car special is that it looks like an ALMS or DTM touring car without a livery.
Sorry man. There seems to be something wrong with my Carbuzz app, showing all these posts meant for other topics.
Dear Lottery, I've been a good friend to you. You know who should be driving the Super Veyron, I know you do. It shouldn't be so hard copying the numbers I'm about to put down, right? Sincerely, Al
It's a gorgeous thing, miles better than the Hyundai Genesis, but the latter drove the correct pair of wheels. The last Eclipse is just a big FWD coupé. Two-doors are supposed to be sports cars, so it should have been either RWD or 4WD. Sadly, it just went the way of the Solara and Monte Carlo.
Instead of being developed as an Evo coupé, the Eclipse only grew bigger and heavier to become much like a two-door Galant. The second generation was the best, with 4WD and turbo engines to boot.
This angry little thing needs Ralliart/Evo running gear. It would probably give the X1 and Q3 a run for their money.
It already looks the part in becoming a small hot hatch. May Mazda finally give the Yaris some soul.
Hope to see Sabine Schmitz back. She's the only go-fast female I respect (well, and Vicki Butler-Henderson).

One of the first major use of aero engineering for super high speeds... I was an Audi fan... But didn't learn about that car until I was at an Audi Training in Miami from one of Audi USA's chief trainers...
Actually... Looking past Wiki.. Haha... I was referring to the Type C Stream liner... It hit a record 406.3 kilometers per hour on the Autobahn... Basically it was the car you talking about, with a complete Aluminum body wrapped around it
Auto Union (Audi now) had a racecar capable of 211mph. They did attempt a world record car at some point (Hitlers order), but it was a failure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Union_racing_car#Technical_details
Audi had a race car that did 237mph in 1937... Speeds been around for a long time... Just sayin
It's a product of the early, crazy Can-Am series. Pretty much anything was allowed.
Not bad for 1973?! That is great by 2012 standards. (I realize the author is being sarcastic,)
Description: The original idea at Porsche was that the turbo model would be a replacement for the 2.7 RS. A rule change would kill off the racing hopes of the turbo version of the 911, already referred to internal...

This would be a really fun track car if you can find one in relatively good condition. Love the ducktail spoiler. So characteristic of the 930 (and related models).
I always have seen porsche to be more of a road car. But it does well in the ALMS.
Description: It was the only 911 Turbo to have a type number designation different from the rest of the 911 line, but at the time it was such a significant leap forward that the 930 designation made sense. The eng...

I would still call this car sort of obscure and say the Saab 900 Turbo was what completely awoke people to turbos
60%? Crazy. And why do you want to change something that's already perfect.
Description: The GM turbo models didn't lead to the introduction of any imitators, and BMW's first turbo model was produced in such small numbers that hardly anyone took notice. No, it was the 930 which ...

Please cabuzz do 1 about the Lamborghini Muira - the first turbocharged supercar
GNX for sure
Seriously carbuzz do one on the gnx and the supra
98 supra? 2jz-gte is a legendary engine!!
Hennessey didn't start up till the early 90's. These cars are from the 70's. John Hennessy is just mastering on the new technology, but not a pioneer.
Are these articles just about cars? Because John Hennessy could quite possibly be a turbo pioneer? Well, boost In general.
and the saab 99 turbo.
This is cool but... Give us some SVO or GNX! Please an thank you Carbuzz
