Ever since Porsche added forced induction to the 911 all the way back in 1975, the 911 Turbo has become synonymous with exhilarating performance. From the original “widowmaker” 930 to the current 992, the 911 Turbo has always offered speed without sacrificing the everyday usability that came with lesser versions. 

In the video below, each generation of the 911 Turbo is pitted against each other in a drag race, so let’s see who the contestants, and their drivers, are.
