Beautifully brutal Porsche 911 Turbo S excites like no other

The stunning Porsche 911 Turbo S is quickly making a name for itself among performance cars. This version of the 911 offers a far more aggressive exterior styling than the standard Carrera models, with a wider body and track. Porsche has even introduced a special paint colour called Turbonite exclusively for the Turbo variants, which covers various elements like the crest, Turbo S lettering, and wheels.

In addition to the striking exterior, the new 911 Turbo S also boasts some impressive features inside. While it is still a 2+2 seater, the standard configuration does not include rear seats. However, these can be ordered and configured for no extra charge. Our test vehicle came without the rear seats, and instead, it featured the optional folding lightweight sports bucket seats from the 911 GT3.

Under the hood, the 911 Turbo S is powered by two electric exhaust gas turbochargers, delivering an astonishing 523kW of power and 800Nm of torque. This makes it the most powerful production 911 ever built and two-tenths quicker than its predecessor. The car also features an eight-speed PDK transmission with an integrated electric motor, all four-wheel drive through Porsche Traction Management (PTM), and a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of just 2.5 seconds.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is not just about going fast; it's also about handling, even on twisty roads. It comes standard with electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC) and active aerodynamics, along with extensively revised Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. This combination results in impressive stopping power, particularly thanks to the large brake discs on the rear axle.

In conclusion, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is a beautifully brutal car that is sure to excite and intimidate in equal measure. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility, so approach this beast with care and respect.
