Porsche 911 Turbo S: Even More Dynamic, Top Equipment all Standard

Stuttgart. The engineers at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, have developed a new top-of-the-range sports car for the customer who will only settle for the very best in terms of power, performance and driving dynamics: the 911 Turbo S. The heart of this most exclusive high-performance athlete is of course a six-cylinder boxer boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, with an increase in power over the 911 Turbo by 30 to 530 bhp (390 kW). Maximum torque is a most impressive 700 Newton-metres (516 lb-ft). At the same time this new top model comes as standard with all high-tech components available only as options on the “regular” 911 Turbo.

Despite its significant increase in power and dynamic performance, the new 911 Turbo S, at 11.4 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 24.8 mpg imp), does not consume any more fuel than the Porsche 911 Turbo, making it by far the most efficient sports car in its performance class.

The 911 Turbo S comes exclusively with seven-speed Porsche-<wbr>Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) (Porsche’s Double-Clutch Gearbox) conveying drive power to Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive. Driving safety optimised to an even higher standard is ensured by Dynamic Engine Mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) including a mechanical differential lock on the rear axle. In conjunction with Launch Control on the Sport Chrono Package Turbo likewise featured as standard, 911 Turbo S accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 10.8 seconds

Top speed is 315 km/h or 195 mph. Extra-light and fading-resistant Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) provide the same outstanding performance in terms of stopping power and controlled application of the brakes.

The supreme level of standard equipment including Dynamic Bending Lights, 19-inch wheels in RS Spyder design with central locking, a three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles, adaptive sports seats, cruise control, a CD/DVD changer and exclusive twin-tone leather upholstery in Black/Crema or Black/Titanium Blue additionally underlines the outstanding class and calibre of this first Turbo S in five years.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S will be at the dealership as both a Coupé and Cabriolet as of May 2010. The German market price of the Turbo S Coupé is Euro 173,241 including 19 per cent value-added tax and local equipment in the market (the Euro base price is Euro 145,400). The Cabriolet retails in the German market at Euro 184.546, again including 19 per cent VAT and local equipment/specifications (base price Euro 154,900).


The retail price and market launch date vary by region or country. Please contact the Porsche PR Manager of your country in order to receive country-specific information. </td></tr></tbody></table>

 

great post, however 173k euros is around 220k US dollars.

WTF? WAYYYY overpriced.

In addition, its a shame they are only offering it in pdk!

 

I'm really confused. 0-60 is 3.3s (the same as the current Turbo), and torque is still 700Nm all despite 30PS more.

EDIT: just looked on the Porsche site and it seems they have changed the official 0-62mph times of the Turbo, down to 3.5s. Hmmm, maybe those Press base Turbo cars were all running S ECU tunes!

 

This will be a 2.9 second 0-60 and 10 second 1/4 mile car stock, just watch.

 

Finally. I wonder what this will cost in Australia as I'm mean to be speccing one up later this month.

 

How much is this car costing in the US???? $220k??? No way.

 

There is no way it will be $220k upon release in the US. MSRP will be in the 170-180k range standard. If the production numbers are low it could get marked up.

It's going to be majorly fast though.

 

The king is back!

 

No chance

 

You can't convert Euros to US dollars this way. I believe that MSRP will be around $159,900.

I love true manuals as well; hence my .2 GT3, however, I could not order a new turbo without PDK. The gearbox alone is transforms that car, or any turbo car for that matter. No loss of turbo spooling at all.

 

Yeah, it will!

 

My ***. I got your king in the form of a yellow car.

 

is that a new black or an existing one (basalt metallic of flat)?

 

+1000. It might go lower.
When a 4400 lb. Pana Turbo can do 3.3 with 500 HP, what would we think the same HP with 1000 less pounds could do?

 

this is great news !!!
anyone else wanna guesstimate numbers ?

i think a stock turbo S with cup tires will do 0-60 in 2.7-2.8 seconds
quarter mile in the mid to high 10's...

STOCK

this car is going to be amazing..
