Fake It Till You Make It: Could Turbonite Become A New-Found Obsession For Porschephiles? - Storyboard

Porsche's decision to ditch gold crests for Turbonite on all upcoming Turbo models, is a bold and refreshing move

The Pantone Color Institute's involvement adds an extra layer of exclusivity

It's a clear indication that the brand is looking to evolve while staying true to the Turbo lineup's five decade heritage

It's not surprising that it has generated a lot of buzz on the web and beyond

Cayenne and Panamera crowd might not care much, but for 911 and Boxster/Cayman enthusiasts, it could open a new dimension

I've already stumbled upon a 911 Targa model on Reddit, that's rocking a Turbonite badge on the hood. You can find one on Ebay for anywhere between $150-$300

Online marketplaces are already flooded with Turbonite accessories, from badges and center caps to thermos cups and key chains

It's a clear indication that the Turbonite craze is in full swing

However, people trying to slap Turbonite badges on lower-spec 911s, could create a situation that would be a Porsche purist's worst nightmare.
