Porsche 911 Turbo S Sets a New Benchmark for Sports Cars!

The Porsche 992 is the internal designation for the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, which was officially introduced at the Porsche Experience Center, Los Angeles on November 27, 2018. The new Porsche 911 Turbo S has been spotted testing in varying disguises for the last two years or so but it’s finally here, the all-new 992 911 Turbo S, the most potent of this generation of 911. Combine the wider hips and front fenders with our tester’s 0.4-inch drop in ride height, and the Turbo S cuts a distinct visual profile compared to the standard Carrera. Other Turbo S touches include the adjustable rear spoiler, which harkens back to the whale tails of old, as well as four square exhaust tips that jut out from the back bumper. Inside the Turbo S will be familiar to anyone who has sat in a 992-generation machine but with enough small flourishes to remind you this is the range-topping model.

The 911 Turbo S packs 640 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The result is a blistering zero-to-60 time of just 2.6 seconds and a 205-mile-per-hour top speed. To put that into further context, a McLaren 720S takes 2.8 seconds to get to 60 despite a 600-pound weight advantage. Along with a Turbo S-specific all-wheel-drive system, Porsche tweaked the dual-clutch transmission, too. The 2021 Turbo S starts at $203,500 for a Coupe or $216,300 for the Cabriolet.
