RE: Turbocharged '80s legends | Six of the Best
Discussion
I do love 80's turbos, 1st super car ride was in a F40, found the experience much more violent in an impressive way than my 2nd super car ride in a McLaren F1
Own a 1989 Porsche 930 which is proper hard to drive fast, smoothly but very rewarding on the few occasions I'm brave enough to try
2-car dream garage would be a F40 and SWB Quattro, I'd add my 930 to make it up to a 3-car dream garage

Then the other manufacturers did it better, and by the end of the decade (factory) turbo bikes were gone for good.
Has any other technology come and gone so fast?

When they came out - 1st factory turbo, fuel injected - was a bit special.

An oddity not legendary and not as quick as a 750 n/a bike Then the other manufacturers did it better, and by the end of the decade (factory) turbo bikes were gone for good.

The last of the probably 30 R5 GT Turbos that I have owned since 91. I bought this “ tweaked “ Glazier white one for £1,300 quid from Nth London in 2011, I never used it on the road as it sat in my unit until I stupidly sold it in September 17 as a non runner for £52 hundred quid. It sold last summer for £18 grand…..

Can’t belief how Crap that Esprit advert is. Shooting a car like that in front of that hideous Munster Hall type gaff, shows a total lack of thought by whoever chose this location…..Ferrari F40
