The Turbo Florio Collection
Photographic Galleries

The Turbo Florio Collection is my long-running experiment in driving, documenting, and refining—five cars, five voices, one through-line: use over pose. Each gallery here is a living photo journal, not a fixed archive. I add pictures as the miles stack up, letting time do its work. The goal isn’t to perfect the cars or the images; it’s to be honest about how both evolve.

Turbo Florio 1, a 1996 911 Turbo (993), is the foundation—endurance in metal, the baseline I measure against. Turbo Florio 2, a 2021 Taycan Turbo S, adds a modern dialect—quiet speed and clean placement that change how I think about pace. Turbo Florio 3, a 1960 Emory RS Speedster, threads heritage and focus; its gallery follows the arc from workshop intent to roads that reward restraint. Turbo Florio 4, a 2024 911 Turbo S (992.1), is the present tense of capability—quick margins, calm pictures, and choices that favor clarity over spectacle. Turbo Florio 5, a 1996 911 (993) Gunther Werks Turbo, begins as anticipation and grows into use, the way a commission becomes a car with a life.

The song names mark mood as much as identity—Smells Like Teen Spirit, 21st Century, Monterey, Soul to Squeeze, Dark Necessities—but the pictures carry the story. I keep the approach simple: arrive earlier, stay later, let the venue dictate the angles, and work between people instead of against them. When the crowd thins, the images get quieter; when the pace picks up, I stay close enough to hold detail without losing motion.

This page collects those threads so you can see the collection as a whole—air-cooled, water-cooled, and electric in conversation—each car evolving on its own timeline yet connected by intent. Come back and the order will shift, new pictures will fill in the gaps, and the narrative will keep moving forward. That’s the point: not a destination, but a record of how the Turbo Florio idea keeps finding its form on real roads.
