Default I still haven't figured where they have placed the Turbo!!!!

I have what 50 plus hardbound Porsche books and now I have to go thru them to see if this was pictured previously. I usually skip past the first pages to my favorite cars because reading about how he engineered his first tricycle at Age 2 after being inspired by while eating Gerbers Snitzel, I haven't read in awhile!

PS I guess that means Porsche must have invented electricity!!!!
