Apparently the tuned Ford GT we posted a couple of days ago wasn’t the only new product of Edo Competition. The German tuner also offers a power upgrade and an aesthetic… degrade for the previous-generation Porsche 911 Turbo, codenamed 996. The wacko looking Turbo gets a new turbocharger and a BMC-airfilter along with a sport exhaust all of which help to boost power from the stock 420Hp to 585Hp. According to Edo Competition, 0-100 km/h (62mph) comes in 3,7 sec while maximum speed tops at 345 km/h (215 mph). Besides that, Edo also equips the 996 Turbo with a sport-brake-system, 18-inch rims and a sport clutch. -Full specs and image gallery after the jump

On the occasion of the First United Nations Global Road Safety Week (23-29 April, 2007) ,the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a series five posters dubbed “Road Marks” promoting action on helmets, drink-driving, speeding, seat-belts, and visibility. According to WHO, more than 40% of all road traffic deaths occur among people aged 0–25 years. The posters invite young people in an innovative way to be part of the solution by wearing a helmet, never drinking and driving, never speeding, always wearing a seat-belt and trying be seen on the road. -See the rest of the posters after the jump
