Porsche 911 Turbo S with a tent on the roof

We are used to seeing Porsche cars with various modifications and accessories, but some of them are really unusual. Namely, a picture of a Porsche 911 Turbo S with a tent on the roof was recently published on the Facebook group “Live from Greece”.

The car, with German license plates, was parked under the pine branches near the sea, and the group members left many humorous comments, but there were also those who admired the car owner: “A tourist who likes to enjoy nature.” Some remembered camping from the 80s when it was popular along the entire Mediterranean coast.

Obviously, although the owner has an expensive car and can certainly afford a good hotel, he still decided to enjoy it in a better way – in nature.

The 2012 Porsche 911 (997) Turbo S is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine with 530 hp (390 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed PDK gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (313 km/h). It sits on a set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in 235/35ZR-19 (front) and 305/30ZR-19 (rear) tires.

It’s good to see the battle of supercars in drag race, but these cars deserve better drivers.
