With Porsche having spilled the beans on the 2017 911 Turbo one week ago, the time has come to see the German supercar outside the overly shiny world of press photos. To serve that purpose, we’ve brought along the image above and we have a bit of a challenge for you.
It’s all simple, really - all you have to do is spot the new Turbo in the picture, but be sure to stay within a five-second timeframe to keep the challenge alive.

We’ll even go ahead and provide what might be called a clue - since you can’t use your measuring tools, you’ll be having a hard time figuring out if you’re dealing with a Turbo or a Turbo S once you spot the model in the sea of Neunelfers populating the picture.

No, you can’t rely on those center lock wheels as a sign of the Turbo S badge - you can also have them on the Turbo, but unlike in the case of the Turbo S, they come as an option.

As for the measurement mentioned above, you should know the Turbo S has a slightly smaller front track compared to the Turbo - despite that sounding counterintuitive, there's no typo here. And there's also no reason to complain, since, among others, this makes the Turbo S slightly easier to drift, right?

Surrounded by so many RS-badged 911s, as well as by Carreras, the 911 Turbo might not seem that special here, especially with its details covered. Then again, this is what Porsches have always been about - tricking the untrained into believing they’re all the same.

Porsche has officially announced the revamped 991.2 incarnation of the 911 Turbo is scheduled to land on dealer lots in April next year. Nevertheless, we’ll get to meet the supercar earlier than that, as its public debut is set to take place in January at the Detroit Auto Show.
