Autocar Reviews Porsche 911 Turbo S
The Porsche 911 Turbo has been many people’s favorite 911 variant. Porsche stuffs as much performance and luxury into a 911 shell until it’s bursting at the seams like an above-ground Alabama community pool on a sweltering Saturday in August. Because of this, many consider the Turbo the ultimate 911, not for its performance, but for all that you can get in one car.
Where the GT2 takes 911 performance to the edge of what is possible, the Turbo cranks the volume all the way with the 911’s original philosophy and raison d’être. The Porsche 911 was introduced to be a daily driver that you could race. Never before has there been a Porsche that is more accommodating around town, and more sinister at the track.
