THE NEW PORSCHE 911 TURBO S

PERLA-The new Porsche 911 Turbo S has big shoes to fill. Its predecessor was already regarded as the benchmark in the sports car world when it came to combining superior performance, long-distance comfort, exclusivity and everyday practicality. Now, the 911 Turbo S once again raises the bar in all areas. The sports car, which is available as both a coupe and a Cabriolet, boasts significantly increased performance, a more powerful design, refined aerodynamics, upgraded suspension, and even more exclusive equipment.

The newly developed, high-performance powertrain achieves a system output of 701 hp (523 kW). This makes the new 911 Turbo S the most powerful production 911 of all time. The maximum torque of the powertrain is 590 lb.-ft. and is available over an extremely wide rev range from 2,300 to 6,000 rpm. The car also achieves an exceptionally flat power curve; its peak power output of 701 hp is available from 6,500 to 7,000 rpm. At the heart of the car is a newly developed 3.6-liter boxer engine. Equipped with innovative T-Hybrid technology featuring a 400-volt system, it achieves a power increase of 61 hp compared to its predecessor.

A T-Hybrid powertrain first debuted in 2024 in the 911 Carrera GTS. For use in the new 911 Turbo S, the technology is further enhanced. While a single electric turbocharger (eTurbo) is integrated into the T-Hybrid system in the GTS, two of these innovative devices are used in the new 911 Turbo S. The turbine and compressor were specially designed to meet the requirements of the flagship model. The two eTurbos contribute not only to a considerable increase in performance but also to greatly enhanced responsiveness. The particularly compact and lightweight high-voltage battery, which has a capacity of 1.9 kWh, is the same as that used in the 911 Carrera GTS. An eight-speed PDK with an integrated electric motor transmits the power to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The Turbo S Coupe now completes the sprint from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor. It takes just 8.4 seconds to reach 124 mph, which represents an improvement of 0.5 seconds. The top track speed of the new 911 Turbo S is 200 mph.

Despite the additional components of the performance hybrid system, the new 911 Turbo S gains a relatively modest 180 lbs. compared to its predecessor. The increase in weight has been more than compensated for in all areas relating to performance and driving dynamics as evidenced by its Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time. As part of the final development drives conducted in autumn 2024, a lightly camouflaged 911 Turbo S posted an official time of 7:03.92 minutes – about 14 seconds quicker than its predecessor.
