Footage of a Porsche 996 GT Turbo

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Yes, folks, we’ve got a sweet video of a Porsche 996 GT Turbo getting put through its paces today, and man, is it ever exciting.

It’s getting put through its paces on the Jerez test track, and as a result, we get just over three and a half minutes of sweet Porsche action as that monster goes flying around the curves and over the straightaways of this track.

There’s a LOT to notice in this video–it’s not just cars whipping around a track at ludicrous speeds.  For instance, you’ll be treated to the sight of a spoiler that’s wider than the car itself, and the most outlandish orange and black paintjob you may well have ever seen on a car.

Bizarre aesthetics aside, there’s lots of reason to enjoy this video, though.  It’s quite clear that the Porsche 996 GT Turbo is a high performance machine that does exactly what it sets out to do–burn its way around the track like no tomorrow.
