The most powerful production Porsche 911 yet, the new 911 Turbo S, has roared into Singapore, with just five units that have all been spoken for.
The all-new Porsche 911 Turbo S has arrived in Singapore, following an event held at an exclusive villa, which Porsche Singapore dubbed the House of Turbo, at Raffles Sentosa Singapore on 21 May.
The latest 911 Turbo S is the most powerful production Porsche 911 ever, featuring a 3.6-litre flat-six engine paired with Porsche’s T-Hybrid technology and incorporating two turbos.
This gives the car a total power output of a staggering 711bhp and 800Nm of torque, allowing it to rocket from 0-100km/h in just 2.5 seconds, 0-200km/h in 8.4 seconds, and go on to a top speed of 322km/h.
The T-Hybrid technology, which was first seen in the 911 Carrera GTS, has been boosted by 60bhp in the Turbo S. But it also bolsters the car’s performance in other ways too, with the dual eTurbos offering enhanced responsiveness by delivering near-instant power delivery on tap.
Other performance upgrades include 325/30 ZR 21 tyres at the rear, which are 10mm wider than the outgoing Turbo S model, as well as the upgraded Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), which gets new pads and bigger 420mm rotors in front and 410mm rotors at the rear, making them the largest ever fitted on a two-door Porsche.
There is also the new electro-hydraulically controlled Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (ehPDCC), which minimises roll and sharpens handling agility when cornering.
At the same time, it also improves driving comfort, thanks to its advanced cross-connected, active coupling rods that helps to keep the car balanced and predictable.
Externally, the 911 Turbo S features a whole host of aerodynamic features designed to optimise performance.
These include the active cooling air flaps on either side of the front bumper, an active front diffuser with a retractable front spoiler lip, as well as the classic adjustable rear wing spoiler, all of which help to offer the desired amount of drag or lift depending on what the driver requires.
Porsche calls the 911 Turbo S a ‘Swiss Army knife’, capable of delivering extreme track performance, long distance driving comfort, and everyday usability. The latest version is priced at $1,273,088 without COE, but just five units have been allocated to Singapore, all of which have already been spoken for.
