2001 Porsche 911 Turbo | Clacton-on-Sea, Essex

This is a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo, from the 996 generation that brought the first water-cooled engine to the 911. The Turbo is the version with twin turbochargers and four-wheel drive, known for strong acceleration and secure grip in a car that stays easy to live with. This car is black outside and in, a low-key pairing that photographs cleanly and picks up reflections from a location. It has a 3.6-litre engine and an automatic gearbox, which leaves the driver free to concentrate on the route and the shot. It seats four. Its low, purposeful profile suits advertising and photography, where the dark paint gives a clean, modern outline. Music video and fashion shoots can use the black-on-black look for an after-dark mood, and its early-2000s lines fit film and TV set in that period. Weddings and personal hires are well served too. The car is based in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
