The 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S is stunning, a high-power, high-performance grand tourer that pairs unbelievable speed with the livability the 911 Turbo line is known for. That performance has already been proven on the drag strip, crushing everything from the all-electric Porsche Taycan Turbo S to Dodge’s ultimate quarter-mile specialist, the Challenger SRT Demon. Now. the Turbo S can claim victory over two new grand touring competitors, Nissan’s GT-R Nismo and Audi’s R8 V-10.

The result comes from a series of straight line tests conducted by the YouTube channel Carwow, which does its drag races on a runway rather than a prepped drag strip. In the standing drag race, the Porsche easily won with a quarter mile time of 10.1 seconds, beating out the Nissan and its time of 10.8 seconds. The R8, which struggled from a standing start with its launch control, came in at just 11 seconds despite its V-10 power.
The race from a rolling start told a slightly different story, with the Porsche winning more narrowly in the first test and by a comfortable margin in the second. In both cases, the Audi came in second, easily outpacing the Nissan. The 911 Turbo S and R8 V-10 also narrowly beat out the GT-R in straight-line brake testing, with the Audi winning by a margin so narrow it almost renders itself irrelevant.
Once again, the lesson here is that the current 911 Turbo S is about as fast as any car on the road without compromising on anything but total cost. And, while the Turbo S may boast the absurd numbers necessary to win drag races, the ‘base’ 911 Turbo is nothing to look down on, either.
