Condition and information:
After Montblanc ended the production of the famous Monte Rosa line, they've put all their efforts in designing flagship pens. However they needed a new line which would appeal not only to hard-core high-end expensive fountain pens. This is when the collaboration with Porsche came, to build a pen barring the famous car name, the Carrera. Most of these pens we entrance class pens, except one, this one, the Turbo model being the flagship Porsche car, and the flagship pen baring the same name, Turbo. The pen is fantastic, pure form factor, based on the 3xx and the old 2xx design, but streamlined and with two extrusions, both on the cap and top body with enormous Montblanc star logos on both ends. This is a pen that scream "i'm a Montblanc pen". Super high-quality, build out of steel, brushed and silver plated. The pen uses any size standard international cartridges, or a piston converter, which is included with the pen. The nib is F fine size, super smooth on the paper. The grip section is very nice, does not slip and since the pen is fairly heavy, it has a nice balance poster or not posted. This is a pen that is really made to last, nothing on it can be broken if the pen is dropped, tossed around, it can take any daily dose of writing abuse. The quality is unique, materials are best there are. The brushed silver also does not leave fingertips or finger oil thus the pen always stay clean and shiny. Easy to maintain and clean. This is a Montblanc pen that is meant to be used on daily basis. The pen is in absolute mint condition.
