911 Porsche World

HISTORY

-

What can we say about Mike Calvert’s eclectic duo history wise? Well, there is little to connect them, save for turbocharg­ing. Back in 1981, when Porsche built a limited run of 924 Carrera GTS for homologati­on purposes, the Turbo was still something of a novelty and the Carrera GT, with its 210bhp, was a rare and exotic machine, completely changing the 924’s image and paving the way for the 944.

The 996 Turbo was a gamechange­r when launched in 2000, blending supercar performanc­e with unrivalled practicali­ty. Mike’s car is further enhanced with Techart goodies.
