The Porsche 911 is undoubtedly a motoring icon and the latest version has the firm's 3.0 litre twin-turbocharged flat-six petrol engine to deliver the thrills – and its famous soundtrack. As you'd expect the performance and refinement goes up another notch, and it retains it's classic rear engine layout.
With this new '992' Porsche 911, Porsche has provided anything you could want from a sports car. They have you covered, from a classic rear-wheel drive Gran Tourer to a fire-breathing 600ps+ track annihilator. So sit back, buckle up and enjoy; you will not be disappointed with Stuggarts latest creations.
Power & Choice
The new Porsche 911 offers a wide range of performance, but every model has thrills aplenty. The Carrera model uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre engine that delivers 385 bhp. Helping propel the 911 to a 0 to 62 mph sprint time of 4.2 seconds, and there's a sport pack that will shave the .2 seconds from that figure. The car's top speed is 190 mph, with fuel economy of 28 mpg. Torque stands at 450Nm with an awe-inspiring performance in the mid-range revs. To help underpin the car's performance, it's available in either two- or four-wheel drive but we found that the two-wheel drive model delivers grip and it's impressive with Porsche's new wet driving mode offering confidence on wet or slippery surfaces. The all-wheel drive version does help show what the car can do, however, and the performance gets slightly better too.
Those needing more performance than above are spoiled for choice. The immediate upgrade would be the Carrera S model, which has a significant uplift in power from 385ps to 450ps. As a result, the 0-62mph leaps from 4.2 seconds to 3.7 seconds, the mid-range pull is enhanced too, with more torque, now up to 530nm. The GTS makes an appearance again in the new 911 line-up; now sporting a thumping 480ps and unique GTS styling it strikes a fine mid-point between extreme performance (0-62mph in only 3.4secs) and still managing to be useable, comfortable and individual.
And yes, you know where the endpoint lies. We know for the Porsche purists among us, we have the track-orientated GT3 and GT3 RS animals that provide ultimate track day thrills and even the lesser lightweight 'T' model for those wanting a purer 911 for less money than the GT's above. They do have it all. The standard Carrera, Carrera 'S', and GTS can be ordered in a Cabriolet or 'Targa' top version, allowing you to match your performance thrills with your kind of open air driving. This all being said, we know only too well that a 911 needs a 'Turbo' after the name for those seeking the ultimate drag strip crusher. And as is typically the case with Porsche, that box is suitably ticked.
Boost
The Porsche 911 Turbo has a solid 580ps and can see off 62 miles per hour in a quoted 2.8 seconds. On its way to a hypercar challenging 199 mph top speed. And this should be enough for most, but some people just need the ultimate top-of-the-tree Porsche 911, and nothing else will do, and track models notwithstanding the 911 Turbo' S' is it.
With a skull-crushing 650Ps of power and 800nm of torque, the Turbo' S' is one of the fastest performance cars out there.
However, the 0-62mph time is quoted as 2.7 seconds. This guise of 911 is often recorded at less than 2.5 seconds. The unique thing about the 911 Turbo S, however, is just how usable it is daily; it's comfortable, the grip levels phenomenal, and it looks understated and classic.
We're always excited by a new 911 Turbo' S' and are delighted to say this iteration is all we could have hoped for.
