New 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo, even better!

Faster, strong, and better! This basically sums up the new 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo. The New Type 991 generation of Porsche’s 911 Turbo and Turbo S gets an all new all-wheel drive with active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, and full LED headlights.

Perhaps the main highlight will be the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which produces 560hp (412kW) from the 3.8-Litre flat 6-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, while the 911 Turbo without the S gets 520hp. Controlling the power is the famed 7-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK), and the Porsche 911 also comes with auto stop-start function. The chassis has also been revamped, and is now 100mm longer.

In terms of raw performance figures, 0-100km/h (0-62mph) is done in just 3.2 seconds for the Porsche 911 Turbo, and 3.1 seconds for the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Top speed is a stellar 317km/h.

For the first time, the new Porsche 911 Turbo models will receive The PorscheDynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll system, which increases the dynamic performance potential of the Porsche 911’s handling characteristics. This system is standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S, together with the Sport Chrono Package Plus incorporating dynamic engine mounts, and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). These are also each available on the 911 Turbo.

As a consequence, the 911 Turbo S shortens the benchmark lap time around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife to well under 7 min 30 sec – naturally on standard production tyres. The standard ‘sound symposer’ intensifies the driving experience further still; transmitting induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker diaphragm.

Dubai Police uses a Lamborghini Aventador Patrol Car

If you think only Need for Speed has exotic sports car for their patrol cars, or if you think our Malaysian Mitsubishi EVO 10 patrol cars are awesome, check out Dubai's Lamborghini Aventador police car! 

Known for their extravagant spending, Dubai's wealth seems to be limitless. The latest extravagant spending seems to be a Lamborghini Aventador for the police force. Donned in white and green, the Aventador costs about $550,000 USD, or 1.7 million ringgit. 

Based on the Dubai police's official statement, this spending is justified as more than 15% of traffic offenses are committed at speeds above 130mph; which is 205km/h!  In this case, the Lamborghini Aventador's 0-100km/h in 3 second performance figures, and the 700hp engine could be of great beneficial use.
