Cars

It you were a car-crazy school kid in the 1970s or 1980s, Turbo was the buzzword to get your attention. While you had no idea what a turbocharger actually was or how it worked, you certainly knew that only the fastest cars were granted a Turbo logo written in sweeping letters across the doors, bonnet or rear spoiler. The word Turbo was a synonym for speed, additional performance and massive amounts of horsepower unleashed by putting down the pedal – or, if you were allowed to watch Knight Rider on your parents’ cable TV, pressing the Turbo Boost button on the center console.
