Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover
it all!
At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like
to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't
fit
into the magazine this month.
Featured in the June issue is our report on our first experience
with the 2007 911 Turbo, a drive that took place in southern Spain.
Quicker even than the Carrera GT, the 911 Turbo will set the standard
for road-worthy supercars for a long time to come. Here are some
of Leonard Turner's photographs from Spain that didn't make it
into the magazine.
We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you
