Still got that wallet convenient? The Lightweight Design pack cuts weight by 30kg through light-weight bucket seats, a rear-seat delete and less insulation (yay!).
Prices in the UK start at ₤ 134,400 for the 911 Turbo Coupe, and ₤ 143,560 for the 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Reckon you can manage the preconception of going 0-62mph a tenth of a 2nd slower than a Turbo S? Save yourself ₤ 20k and bag one of these.
Specifically when it manifests as 0-62mph in 2.8 s (a simple tenth of a second down on the S), delivered by means of that mad 3.7-litre flat-six twin turbo engine slung proudly out back. Flat out on an autobahn or on a truly, really long circuit straight, itll hit 199mph. That pesky 992 Turbo S, due to the fact that its a know-it-all, goes 205mph.
Still, the engines rather incredible. Its elegant, naturally, featuring such hits as VTG, which adjusts the intake increase according to engine speed and load.
You d be difficult pushed to inform this and a Turbo S apart, mind. Apart from the obvious absence of anS on the boot. The rear pipelines determine 4 in number (the S has two), there are electrical cooling air flaps in advance, that active rear spoiler, induction consumption on the rear side panels, which continuous LED light bar at the back.
This is the new Porsche 911 Turbo, and it is not as quick as 2020s mind-bendingly capable Porsche 911 Turbo S; a car we found quite compelling. No, this being the child bro to that S, indicates whatevers been turned down.
Its four-wheel-drive because its a Cap T Turbo, utilizes an eight-speed PDK gearbox, and– claims Porsche– will return in between 22.6 mpg and 23.5 mpg.
Chassis sensible, its wider on both axles than the old Turbo– 42mm more up front, 10mm at the back– functions Porsches traction management setup (able to transfer higher torque up front), larger brakes, active dampers (PASM), or the choice of PASM Sports suspension which rides 10mm lower and is firmer still. The option to purchase a brand-new, now-probably-thinner wallet is obvious by its lack.
Down on the Turbo Ss 641bhp, but almost 40bhp more than the last-gen, 991 Turbo. Chassis sensible, its larger on both axles than the old Turbo– 42mm more up front, 10mm at the back– features Porsches traction management setup (able to transfer greater torque up front), bigger brakes, active dampers (PASM), or the option of PASM Sports suspension which flights 10mm lower and is firmer still. You d be hard pushed to tell this and a Turbo S apart, mind. Prices in the UK start at ₤ 134,400 for the 911 Turbo Coupe, and ₤ 143,560 for the 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Reckon you can deal with the stigma of going 0-62mph a tenth of a second slower than a Turbo S?
You d still be smart before you took it on, mind, since like its big sibling its bloody fast. Overall power now sits at 572bhp and a healthy 553lb ft of torque. Down on the Turbo Ss 641bhp, but almost 40bhp more than the last-gen, 991 Turbo. Also, 572bhp is rather a lot anyway.
