Porsche presents the top-of-the-range model of the 911 series at the IAA Mobility motor show in Munich: an innovative twin-turbo powertrain with T-Hybrid technology makes the new 911 Turbo S the most powerful production 911 to date.
“The 911 Turbo S is the most complete and versatile form of driving a Porsche 911. Whether in daily use, on long autobahn journeys or on the racetrack – we have made the new 911 Turbo S even more comfortable, more individual and significantly faster than its predecessor,” says Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model line.
The new Turbo S marks the introduction of Porsche’s cross-series Turbo design strategy in the 911. Numerous contrasting elements are finished in the color Turbonite, which is reserved exclusively for Turbo variants. These include the Porsche crest and the Turbo S lettering at the rear. In addition, Turbo S-specific inserts in the slats of the rear wing and the side window strips differentiate the top-of-the-range model. The range of wheels for the Turbo S includes new centre-lock designs in Turbonite.
As is typical for the Turbo, the new top-of-the-range model of the current 911 series has a visibly wider body and track compared to the Carrera models, as well as openings in the rear side section. On the redesigned rear fascia, striking ventilation openings additionally emphasise the width. The tailpipes of the titanium exhaust system in a newly interpreted design typical of the Turbo underscore the car’s position in the model line, as does a dynamic pearl structure above the taillight strip. Oval titanium tailpipe trims with a special structure are available as an option. Overall, its exclusive appearance clearly differentiates the Turbo S from other 911 models.
Turbonite accents also characterise the interior. They can be found in the door panels, on the steering wheel, dashboard and center console surrounds, as decorative stitching, and on the Sport Chrono stopwatch and instrument cluster. Porsche’s designers have also used the color for the seat belts and several buttons in the center console. For the first time, carbon-structured trim strips with neodyme trim and a perforated microfiber headliner with black backing are part of the exclusive interior.
As a coupé, the 911 Turbo S is delivered as a two-seater as standard. On request, the rear seat system can be configured at no extra charge. The cabriolet is delivered in a 2+2 configuration. Porsche equips the new 911 Turbo S with HD Matrix LED headlights as standard. They feature innovative light functions that increase safety noticeably when driving at night. The Sport Chrono Package including tyre temperature gauge, the specifically tuned PASM suspension, the PDCC electro-hydraulic roll support and the titanium sports exhaust system are also standard equipment. In the interior, Adaptive 18-way Sports Seats Plus with memory function and “turbo S” lettering on the headrests are used ex works. The Turbo S-specific embossing on the seat surfaces and door panels is a reinterpretation of the design features of the first 911 Turbo 930. The folding lightweight sports bucket seat familiar from the 911 GT3 is available as an option for the coupé.
