Say hello to the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe and Cabriolet

MANILA: What you’re looking at is the most powerful 911 Turbo model yet, with 640 hp and 800 Nm of torque from a new 3.8-liter engine with two variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers.

That engine is based on the 911 Carrera engine generation and comes with electrically adjustable wastegate flaps, piezo injectors, and a redesigned charge air cooling system. It is mated to a turbo-specific eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission.

It goes from zero to 100 kmph in just 2.6 seconds (2.7 seconds for the Cabriolet), which represents a 0.2-second reduction compared to the previous model. The 911 Turbo S Coupe reaches the standing quarter-mile mark in 10.5 seconds. The top track speed for both Turbo S models is 330 kmph.

Everything about the new 911 Turbo S has been supersized.

The body is now approximately 1.8 inches wider at the front (72.44 inches), and the overall width is 74.8 inches at the rear axle (an increase of 0.78 inches). This has enhanced driving dynamics, agility, and sportiness.

Even the track is now 1.65 wider inches at the front axle and 0.39 inches wider at the rear axle, and the front brake rotors have increased in size from 410 mm on the previous model to 420 mm.

The rear wing is larger for more downforce and it now has adaptive cooling air flaps in front.

For the first time, the 911 Turbo S transfers its power to the road using staggered center-lock wheels in two different diameters: 20-inch wheels at the front are wrapped in model-specific 255/35 tires, while the 21-inch rear wheels use 315/30 tires. The front and rear tires are 10 millimeters wider than on 2020 911 Carrera S models and compared to previous 911 Turbo models.

Like on the previous 911 Turbo S, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, rear-axle steering and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, now with 10-piston front calipers, are standard.

There are now two new factory options, which were not available on the previous generation, the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport suspension with a ride height lowered by 0.39 inches (-10 mm) compared to the standard PASM suspension, and the Sport Exhaust System with adjustable exhaust flaps and distinct oval tailpipes that guarantees a particularly distinctive sound.

The cabin is of full leather and carbon-fiber trim in combination with light silver accents. Standard 18-way adjustable Sport Seats Plus feature stitching patterns reminiscent of those on the first 911 Turbo (type 930). The center touchscreen of the PCM now measures 10.9 inches and comes with a new layout. Other standard features on the new 911 Turbo S models include the GT Sport steering wheel, the Sport Chrono package with newly integrated Porsche Track Precision app and the Bose Surround Sound system.
