Turbo is a board game manufactured by Milton Bradley in the early 1980s. It is (loosely) based on the arcade game, Turbo.

Turbo comes with a foldable board, several tiny plastic cars and a spinner shaped like a speed dial (which acts as the dice). Players "race" each other around the track, and the first to cross the finish line wins. It is not a particularly sensible game - despite the presence of formula-1 style racing cars, there is also an also an ambulance, which can be moved by players to obstruct rivals. There is also a designated "ice zone" in which cars can be moved backwards. The track also has obstacles in the form of opponent cars, which remain static throughout the game.

There are some minor differences between regions of the world. In North America, the opponent cars are printed onto the board, while in Europe they are represented by pieces of plastic, meaning the layout can be adjusted.
