Additional distinction
Porsche’s Turbo versions are of course often special in themselves, but Porsche likes to provide even more distinction. Subtle visual distinction, that is.
The word ‘turbo’ appeals to the imagination as much as it does with Porsche. After all, it is even the name of a version there since the 911 was introduced to the blown boxer engine in 1974. Although ‘names’ such as GT3 and GTS are undoubtedly music to the ears of many Porsche enthusiasts, Turbo remains the most iconic. Apparently iconic enough for Porsche to change its logo for it.
The Turbo versions will now receive a special version of the well-known Porsche shield, which has been stripped of all characteristic colors. Turbos will soon be recognizable by gray logos, ‘Turbonite’ gray to be precise. Appropriate name. This color is not only reflected on the logos, but also on the written type names and in some cases also on the alloy wheels and optionally on trim parts in the interior. The new Porsche Panamera Turbo is the first model on which we will see this.
