Revealed: 789bhp Porsche 911 Turbo 




With 480bhp, a top speed of 193mph and grippy four-wheel drive the Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the fastest and most usable road cars on sale.

It is also the car that has the dubious honour of setting the fastest recorded speed on a UK public road - 172mph if you're wondering.

But zany American tuner Tym Switzer has boosted the standard car's power by an incredible 309bhp to create one of the fastest Porsche 911s ever. By fiddling around in the engine bay, playing with the car's software and fitting a new sports exhaust, he has increased the power to 789bhp.
