Ah, the golden era of turbocharging! Where cars became the love child of a steam engine and a hair dryer. It’s like they took a sports car, injected it with a pot of steroids, and called it progress. Who could forget the VW Golf GTI’s unique ability to turn every corner like it’s on a Slip ‘N Slide? It’s a testament to engineering that turned the phrase ‘turbo lag’ into a punchline. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X? More like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Xylophone, am I right? And let’s not even get started on the Cadillac ATS V – Cadillac finally got serious about making a car that could at least look like a sports car, not just a fancy SUV. The BMW M3? With its twin-turbo inline-six, it’s like they finally decided to join the 21st century. The Nissan GTR? That’s the car that decided to look like a truck but drive like a rocket. Mercedes-AMG GT? Well, it’s got the front-engine layout that’s all the rage in the sports car world… I mean, it’s a front-engine car, right? The Porsche 911 Turbo S? It’s like they took a regular 911 and decided to add a turbocharger, just to make it even more iconic. Ferrari 488 GTB? Ferrari finally embraced turbocharging, and it’s still better than a regular 488, right? McLaren P1? It’s a ‘1’ car, as if we needed a reminder. And the Bugatti Veyron? It’s the car that makes every other car on the road feel like a golf cart. These cars are the epitome of overkill, but who can resist a good overkill story?
