Porsche has announced the most powerful 911 model ever made, the new 911 Turbo S, in both Coupe and canvass-top Cabriolet. As you can tell, it adds S on the name Turbo, thus setting itself apart from the “normal” car. The new top-of-the-range keeps Porsche’s 3.8-litre boxer engine with two exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry.
As a consequence the 911 Turbo S makes 390kW and 700Nm of torque. All that power and torque is sent to both the front and rear wheels through Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive. When coupled with Launch Control the car will fly out of a standing position to 100km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Top whack is 315km/h and the 7-speed double-clutch PDK gearbox helps it achieve a claimed 11.4 litres per 100km in average fuel consumption.
German prices start at €173 241 (R1.8 million) for the hard top and €184 546 (R1.9 million) for the Cabrio. Mzansi prices start at R2 215 000 and R2 315 000 respectively.
