MotoManTV reviews the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo, taking it through the canyons outside Los Angeles to explore its performance compared to other 911 models. The host examines various driving modes, including “normal,” “sport,” and a playful “Rottweiler” mode, which adjusts throttle, suspension, and responsiveness for a more aggressive driving experience.

The Turbo’s engine, a six-cylinder twin-turbo with variable turbine geometry, delivers blistering acceleration—2.8 seconds to 60 mph in the Turbo S—and provides immense grip and composure through corners. MotoMan highlights aerodynamic features, including factory downforce settings and optional aero kits, showing how the car balances stability at high speeds with daily usability.

The reviewer emphasizes that the 911 Turbo’s appeal is not about impressing others but delivering an engaging, driver-focused experience, even in challenging conditions like rain. The review concludes by encouraging viewers to consider whether they would choose the 911 Turbo or similar high-performance cars for both driving enjoyment and practicality.
