Not "officially" from Porsche about 2016.

All new 911 cars going turbo is going to be very confusing.

Lol.

Right.

I removed the "911 Carrera S" on my car and got tired of all the questions so I added the simple and elegant "911" alone below the PORSCHE script and still was asked all the time, "Is that a Turbo?"

2017. No more questions. "Yes, it's a Turbo."

some say it was the boost in the mid corner that caused the wreck.

You'll be lying; you have to say, "Yes, it's a turbo." That's about an $80,000 Capital T.
