Even after 40 years of production, the current Turbo S is the reference in the upper sports car class and the head of the 911 family. With 560 hp and all-wheel drive, it is at home on the race track as well as in everyday life and is a fascinating all-rounder.

SHORT CHARACTERISTICS
The Turbo has been built for over 40 years, and is now in its eighth version. Its claim is as ambitious as it is simple: to be the best in everything. The current Turbo S achieves this in all situations. Whether on vacation, in the city or on the racetrack. Since 1974, it has rightly been regarded as the benchmark in sports car construction.

Markos Statement

The Turbo S is a huge car, simply impressive!

The car is extremely neutral and has great traction due to the all-wheel drive.

The brakes are typical for Porsche at its finest and brake brute force, with the ABS regulating very finely and late, as one would wish for a brisk pace. The interaction of chassis and brakes, as well as the good steering feedback, allow for very late braking points, better than with most other sports cars.

The seating position, ergonomics and layout of the controls are top notch, including the shift paddles that turn with the steering wheel and are always where you need them. The PDK shifts very quickly and without interruption of traction.

The turn-in behavior is very neutral to slightly oversteering, but that could also have been due to the test car's tires, which are no longer brand new. The lap time of 2:06.1 is all the more impressive, and with new tires there would certainly have been a lot more to do here. Currently the fastest 911 in the range, even on the racetrack, although the GT3 faction is reluctant to acknowledge this.
