Porsche has unveiled the new 911 Turbo S, a major evolution that combines the legendary flat-six with subtle hybridization.
With 701 horsepower, this powerful Turbo S becomes the most powerful production Porsche 911 ever made and gets closer than ever to the most radical supercars, without losing its versatility. Under the hood lies a 3.6-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder, now supported by two electric-assist turbos. More compact than those in the recent GTS, they spin at over 145,000 rpm and offer instant response. The energy comes from a small 1.9 kWh battery and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed PDK gearbox. The result is spectacular with 711 horsepower and 800 Nm sent to all four wheels.
The performance speaks for itself. The 0 to 100 km/h is announced in 2.5 seconds with the standard Sport Chrono pack, 0 to 200 km/h in 8.4 seconds, and the top speed reaches 322 km/h. But to evaluate such a car, nothing beats the stopwatch’s verdict on the track. On the ultimate judge, the Nürburgring, test driver Jörg Bergmeister clocked a lap time of 7 minutes 03 seconds, which is fourteen seconds better than the previous generation.
Raw power isn’t everything
To manage such power, Porsche has revamped the chassis and integrated an electro-hydraulic Dynamic Chassis Control system. Aerodynamics also improve with reduced drag of 10%. Despite the addition of hybrid technology, the weight only increases by 85 kilos thanks to meticulous work. Carbon-ceramic brakes, a lightweight titanium exhaust saving nearly seven kilos, and even a carbon fiber windshield wiper help compensate for the added innovations!
The style evolves with small touches. The front end features redesigned air intakes with active flaps, the optics combine all lighting functions, and the rear visually widens thanks to new diffusers. A massive central air intake feeds the intercoolers. Porsche takes the opportunity to launch an exclusive finish called Turbonite, a metallic gray with a slight violet hue that becomes the signature of this Turbo S.
Inside, the atmosphere is sporty yet always luxurious. The 18-position adjustable seats come standard, as does the Sport Chrono pack. A red button placed on the steering wheel allows full power to be unleashed for instant acceleration. The rear seats remain available free of charge but are no longer installed by default to lighten the technical specifications.
