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.
In April Panorama goes to Road Atlanta where senior editor Joe
Rusz
and race driver David Murry drive three Turbos: the Tiptronic
S, a six-speed and the GT-2 supercar. Leonard Turner was the photographer
on duty and for this month's Gallery we present a behind-the-scenes
look at the shoot.
We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you

PCNA graciously shared the track and provided the cars
during a day at the Porsche Driving Experience.

The mission was to compare average
driver versus pro, Tiptronic versus stick.

PCNA's Bob Carlson and Joe Rusz (both with
backs to camera), along with Panorama editor
Betty Jo Turner, chat on the pit apron.

The question: Is an average driver faster
with the Tiptronic or six-speed Turbo? How about a
pro driver?

The GT-2 provides a reality check for the two 911
Turbos.

The lapis blue 911 Turbo is the six-speed; its
speed yellow twin is fitted with the Tiptronic S.

Rusz and David Murry debrief after hot laps
in each Turbo.

Joe Rusz takes a close look at the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake system on the 911 GT-2.

|
|
Rusz puts the Tiptronic S through a 600-foot slalom,
standard protocol for evaluating how a car transitions
at high speed.

|
|
|
He's not trying to escape-
Rusz is getting instructions on where to position
the GT-2 next for photographer Leonard Turner high
above.

shootout, along with first
