Motor Trend Reviews the Porsche 911 Turbo S

Porsche 911 Turbo S Home

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is like the Hometown Buffet of the 991 lineup. It offers a little bit of everything, mixing the comfort of a GT car with a racy disposition that, at moments, may give you the feeling you’re in a GT3, but because it’s not a GT3, it can afford to have heavy, but fun bits applied to it like all-wheel steering, active anti-roll bars and active aerodynamics.

The greatest charm about the 911 Turbo is that it offers the latest technology on the 911 platform… Kind of like the 959 from 27 years ago. If you want to approach the feeling of what a Porsche 959 would be like today as a new car, get one of these, and throw on a stage-2 tune. You can thank me later.
