Capristo Turns On Crazy Porsche 911 Turbo Performance
Take as a starting point that of one of the best sports car ever created – the 911 – complete with a car body that can accommodate up to four people on board, a fair number of bags in front and an engine capable of delivering 540 horses (Turbo) or 580 horses (Turbo S), maybe even with a double-clutch transmission as fast as lightning and four-wheel drive to make this package perfectly exploitable in all circumstances. There is little to go around, when we talk about the most performing Porsche currently in the list and without necessarily bothering the various GT2 and GT3, the 991.2 Turbo / Turbo S is in top in terms of performance and real use on everyday roads.
And if you also find that its six-cylinder deserves a better voice, especially considering that now almost all other Porsches in the list have embraced turbocharging, looking around is the least you can do to make a nuclear war weapon really complete and able to safely accompany you to work during the week and be protagonist on track the weekend. Capristo, as a specialist, has developed an exhaust system that does not distort the nature of the iconic rear-engined from Stuttgart, but emphasizes the character allowing it to earn the appropriate decibels to make even more heads turn at your passage.
The exhaust, designed according to CAD technology for 911 Turbo / Turbo S, both MK1 and MK2, is made of stainless steel 309, polished by hand and composed of cat back, non-silent central pipe and two pairs of silenced terminals equipped with pneumatic valves , able to offer you a more relaxed sound or free all the sound you have at disposal with a simple click. The acoustic output is not only enhanced and finally brought to adequate levels for a sports car of similar performance, but it does not affect the original effectiveness of the car, as it maintains the correct backpressure values. In short, in front of such a result there really is to wonder what else you could need in life, excluding a full tank of petrol to be taken out in a matter of hours.
