2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder
Porsche's Buy-One-Get-One-For-$160K Offer 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder – Click above for high-res image gallery If nothing else, the 2012 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder wins the contest for the Porsche with the longest and perhaps clumsiest name ever. But after a day of driving it on good roads all around Stuttgart's farm country and blasting along the no-limit Autobahn, however, we break down like always and decide it's pretty damned cool to possess any 911 Turbo S whatsoever.

When Tim Brady punched the accelerator in the Porsche 911 Turbo he was piloting down a rural road in Oxfordshire earlier this year, he could never have imagined that the action would become a moment of infamy. After all, he had to feel pretty confident that no police were on speed patrol where he was, else he wouldn't have wound the car out to 172 MPH. ...
