Default 993 TTS on primetime TV!

During episode 3 of 666 Park Ave, a gorgeous 993TTS can be seen being thrashed around on some NYC streets by Vanessa Williams.

Best 993 **** I've seen in sometime.

It's got 78,xxx miles on it. Who lent it to the show?

It's at about 23 minutes into the show on its network broadcast.

Time is prob different if you check it out on abc.com which I recommend you do.

Sick!

Nice. It is at 20:38 at abc.com.

It does look real, but has a few mods (pedals, wheels, corner lights, springs).

The wheels look like standard turbo twists to me with optional painted crest center caps. .

What about them clues you in that they are modded?

Love the close up of the silver face tach sweeping up to redline.

I don't think any Turbo Ss came with those wheels.

wait, she can drive stick too?

I saw her do her Miss America piano playing and she seemed... rather coordinated.

So was it her driving or a double (please don't make me watch network TV...)

If you are using an iPad and the ABC app you will find the scene at 22:48 minutes. I don't think this is a real Turbo S.
1. The Turbo S came with yellow calipers. This car has red.
2. All reg Turbo's and Turbo S cars had the onboard computer read out in the tach. This car is missing one.
3. Reg Turbo's and Turbo S cars had speedometers that went to 200mph/320km/h. This car only goes to 180mph.
4. It is hard to tell the other visual indicators since it is a black car and I can't boost the brightness on the iPad or computer high enough to tell if it has 4 tail pipes and the turbo S air scoop in the rear fenders. From some shots it looks like it is missing the rear fender air scoops. I think this is a poser C4S with the factory aero kit. Still looks cool regardless.

I think the network needs to dedicate a person to hit the forums before they try to pull another stunt like that again......
