Car is so hot! I’m always impressed with how Porsche leads the market with the introduction of new technology. Here its the variable vane turbo in a gasoline application. In a couple of years it will be the introduction of a DSG-style transmission in a supercar with tons of torque and horsepower.

On a side note I think it was on here that I had a debate with a douchebag about Porsche’s involvment with the DSG idea. It mentions that in the beginning of this article.
