    Porsche 996 Turbo X50 vs Lamborghini Gallardo

    hi everybody,

    there is an entertaining and informative comparison between the X50 996 Turbo with 450 HP and the new Lamborghini Gallardo on the net:

    www.sportandperformance.com

    what do you guys think about it?

    greetings

    X50 with 10mm sports suspension

    It is said in the article that when ordering the Turbo with X50, it is lowered by 10mm for sportier suspension???
    I thought you only got the engine mods with X50.
    And in terms of suspension, either the standard one which is already 10 mm lower than a standard Carrera or the X74 which lowers the car by 20 mm compared to a standard Turbo (1m275)
    Didn't know you could get something intermediate with X50, which would be good I guess.
    But I have a feeling the guy from the article is wrong.
    Good article though!
    Thanks.
    Fanch.

    you are right Fanch, he is wrong...

    but since I know the guy who wrote it, I already notified him on his mistake...

    he is a bit embarrassed, and will change that immidiately...
    this 996 Turbo was lowered 20mm and equiped with X 73 (not X74 )

    Re: X50 with 10mm sports suspension

    The X50 is the 12000 Euro Engine Update from Porsche for their 996 Turbo:

    increased bhp: 450/420
    increased NM (torque): 620/560
