Describing it as even more dynamic, the engineers at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG have developed a new top-of-the-range sports car for the customer who will only settle for the very best in terms of power, performance and driving dynamics: the 911 Turbo S.
At the heart of this most exclusive high-performance athlete is a six-cylinder boxer, boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, with an increase in power over the 911 Turbo by 30 to 530 bhp (390 kW). Maximum torque is a most impressive 700 Newton-metres (516 lb-ft). The result, a top speed of of 315 km/h or 195 mph.
Despite its significant increase in power and dynamic performance, the new 911 Turbo S, at 11.4 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 24.8 mpg imp), does not consume any more fuel than the Porsche 911 Turbo, making it by far the most efficient sports car in its performance class.
The 911 Turbo S comes exclusively with seven-speed Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe or PDK, (Porsche’s Double-Clutch Gearbox) conveying drive power to Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive. Driving safety optimised to an even higher standard is ensured by Dynamic Engine Mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring. In conjunction with Launch Control on the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, the 911 Turbo S accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 10.8 seconds
Standard equipment includes: Dynamic Bending Lights, 19-inch wheels in RS Spyder design with central locking, a three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles, adaptive sports seats, cruise control, a CD/DVD changer and exclusive twin-tone leather upholstery in Black/Crema or Black/Titanium Blue.
Look for the new Porsche 911 Turbo S – offered as both a CoupĂ© and Cabriolet - at dealerships in May 2010. The German market price of the Turbo S CoupĂ© is Euro 173,241. The retail price and market launch date vary by country.
