Porsche 911 Turbo S unveiled - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

***Weasel 555*** · 02-08-2010, 06:36 AM

The wunderkinds in Wiessach have wrought a new head of the family in the form of the 2011 911 Turbo S, the first 911 S model in five years and the first for the 997. In Porsche parlance, the S suffix generally means more power and better handling, and this car appears ready to live up to the badge.

As we surmised last August, the twin-turbo flat-six is boosted to 530 horsepower, though it sips fuel at the same rate as the "base" Turbo's with its 500-horsepower engine. All that power and 516 pound-feet of torque are transferred to all four wheels – now 19 inches in diameter with center locking nuts – through Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual clutch gearbox, and a torque vectoring system helps point the car directly where the driver wants it. 0-62 miles per hour should arrive in 3.3 seconds and top speed is pegged at 196 mph. For comparison's sake, the almighty 911 GT2 makes the same amount of horsepower (530), is slower to 62 mph at 3.7 seconds, but beats the new 911 S at the top end with a 204-mph terminal velocity.

Beautiful car; as is pretty much the case with every new 911. Although, I'm not a big fan of the baby-blue color in the pic. It makes it look a bit sedate.

OK it's nice but way too expensive I think I could mod my WRX to be almost as fast for half the price. What do you guys think? Porsche are overrated. They stole our boxer engine design!

I could mod a Civic to be faster but it's still a Civic.

Hmm...yeah...who stole who's boxer design?

You can mod anything to be faster then just about any off the line performance car.

At the end of the day you arent buying a Porsche or Lambo for 0-60 or quater mile times.
