Like the 2020 911 Carrera S models, the new 911 Turbo S is fitted with larger-diameter, 21-inch wheels and tires on the rear axle to optimize traction and handling. Wider tires with Turbo-specific dimensions Modified track widths contribute to the agility and performance: the track is now 1.65 inches at the front axle and 0.39 inches wider at the rear axle than on the previous 911 Turbo S.
The new 911 Turbo S accelerates from zero to 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 8.9 seconds, taking a full second off its predecessor’s time. With the eight-speed PDK, which was modified specifically for the Turbo S, the sprint to 60 mph has been cut to 2.6 seconds (0.2 s faster than before) while top track speed is 205 mph. With this new model, the torque has increased by 37 lb.-ft. Two VTG turbochargers help the 3.8 liter boxer engine to deliver 640 hp. The 911 Turbo S models are powered by the most powerful 911 engine current available. The 2021 911 Turbo S Coupe and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet 911 flagship with 60 hp more than before In fact, it accelerates 0 to 125 MPH in 8.9 seconds, a full second faster than the previous generation Turbo. Performance wise, the Turbo S is faster, angrier, and more capable than any previous Turbo model. There are, of course, options, the most important of which is the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which will allow you to drop the car an extra 10 mm on command, and adds active flaps in the exhaust should you want more of that turbo boxer six roar to fill your ears. This is part of Porsche’s new “Enhanced Driving Dynamics” philosophy, allowing the car to be sportier and more aggressive than previous Turbo models. The track is now 42 mm wider up front, and 10 mm wider at the rear, to give the Turbo S much more bite and mechanical grip at the front. The car itself is 1,840 mm wide up front, and 1,900 mm wide across the rear. The front is 45 mm wider above the front axle, and 20 mm wider above the rear axle. The rear wing guarantees downforce over the rear wheels.Ĭompared to a regular Type 992 911 Carrera, the Turbo S has a much wider track and body. The front splitter is now an active aerodynamic part, which can be extended from its normal position pneumatically to add up to 15% more downforce. The turbine wheels are larger at 55 mm, and the compressor wheels are a gargantuan 61 mm. Braking is handled via carbon ceramic brakes as standard, with a ten piston caliper up front. The right side turbo will spin clockwise, and the left side will spin counterclockwise, to balance against each other like a gyroscope. This allows for colder charge air, leading to more power development.Īs well, to balance the new power and engine, the turbine wheels of the turbos spin in opposite directions across the car. This allows for charge air to be rammed in via the side scoops, while the grille intakes take a lot of the cooling work. The major point of that claim is that the previous generation 700 HP 911 GT2 RS reached 60 MPH in 2.8 seconds.Īs well, instead of routing cooling and charge air in solely through the classic Turbo model side scoops, two new air intakes are built into the rear lid grille.
A new 8 speed automatic transmission with a manual mode manages the power, and can power the car to 60 MPH in a hair under a claimed 2.7 seconds. In keeping with previous Turbo models, the engine powers all four wheels. The power output is a staggering 640 HP and 590 lbs-ft of torque. In both coupe and cabriolet variations, the new Turbo S comes with an all-new, 3.8 liter boxer six with two variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers. With the news conference and press release of today, Porsche has revealed the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S.
