Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S Though our hearts are loyal to naturally aspirated 911s like the awesome GT3, the Turbo is mighty in its own right. The all-new 991-based 911 Turbo and Turbo S are cause for celebration, especially in honor of the 40th anniversary of the inception of the 911 Turbo. Twin turbos drive the potent flat-six engine in both cars, and the S hits 60 in 2.9 seconds. Auf Wiedersehen, baby. $148,300+ |

Either option is a relatively cheap way to tote your wrist candy. $260 |
