Turbo S. The 911 Turbo S of the seventh generation 911 (internally known as the 991.1) was Porsche's new benchmark at the time, with 90% of its components being completely redesigned. The newly introduced rear axle, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) ensured excellent driving dynamics combined with improved suspension comfort. A world first was the electrically adjustable front spoiler on the Turbo. The rubber flap can be folded down from the bumper in three parts and grows by up to ten centimeters for more downforce at high speeds.
The monumental 3.8-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine with 560 hp doesn't scream like a Ferrari, but rather a recognizable low, somewhat irregular rumble when empty, which changes as the revs rise, as if a few cannons were firing a salute. Particularly impressive and addictive! This boxer engine is unparalleled in its smoothness. Due to the high torque of 700 Nm (750 Nm with Sport Chrono) between 2,100 and 4,250 rpm, only third gear would suffice; that's how much power is always there! The performance speaks for itself. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.1 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h in 10.3 seconds. The car has a top speed of 318 km/h. This is according to the official Porsche figure, which everyone now knows was conservative. In short, from a comfortable touring car to a brutal super sports car, the 911 Turbo S can do it all. Every time we drive a piece of road in a 991 Turbo S, we are deeply impressed.
