comfort features of the regular Turbo, to which it adds its own special leather upholstery.
We were more interested, however, in changes to the hardware. All the goodies
we recommend you choose on the regular Turbo are standard here: the dynamic engine mounts, Porsche’s
brake-based torque-vectoring system, ceramic brakes, and the Sport Chrono package,
which also nets you launch control. Porsche has included a beefed-up version of
the ultra-quick PDK (dual-clutch transmission) with new, proper shift paddles.
The six-speed manual that’s standard on the Turbo is not available here. The Turbo S’s 530 hp are available between 6250 and 6750
rpm. The added power is achieved through different intake-valve timing and
increased turbo boost pressure. Maximum torque is rated at 516 lb-ft, which
happens between 2100 and 4250 rpm. The Turbo S torque figure can be matched by
the regular Turbo, but only when that car is equipped with the Sport Chrono
package; it allows for a short overboost for up to 10 seconds, increasing boost from 11.6 psi
to 14.5. The latter is the standard pressure on the S. We can assure you the changes are effective. Throttle
response is even quicker, and the engine pulls more strongly at high rpm. It is
also louder, which
underscores the nature of this beast. The altogether slight but noticeable
performance gain translates into hard numbers. Porsche says 60 mph comes in 3.1
seconds for the coupe and 3.2 seconds in the cabriolet, 0.1 second quicker than
its estimations for the respective versions of the regular Turbo. We’ve already
clocked a Turbo coupe sprinting to 60 mph in a downright blistering 2.9
seconds, so it seems Porsche is being its usual underestimating self. We figure
the S will match our 0-to-60 time for the Turbo and improve by about 0.1 second
in the quarter-mile, to 10.9 seconds. Top speed of the Turbo S increases from a
claimed 194 mph to 195. As far as straight-line acceleration is concerned, the
Turbo S provides one of the grand experiences in motoring today, and to say it
pulls hard would be an epic understatement. The base model is sometimes eerily
quiet, but the S never conceals its nature. Ever. We were just as impressed by the S’s capabilities during
cornering, aided by the new Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) system. The 996 and
the 997 displayed a hint of understeer when initiating a turn on slippery
surfaces. The torque-vectoring system, which applies the brake on the inside
rear wheel, eliminates the minor push entirely. The car gets slightly modified
front-suspension geometry, giving it more precise steering feel and making the
911 Turbo S seem almost like a mid-engine car. Porsche says lap times on the
Nurburgring have improved from 7:39 for the regular Turbo to 7:37. We have no
reason to doubt this claim. Speaking of speed and racetracks, quick pit-stop
wheel changes are facilitated by the central-locking “RS Spyder” wheels. Although a mid-engine car is by design dynamically superior
to a rear-engine car in most disciplines, the traction of the all-wheel-drive
Turbo S, which stands on 235/35ZR-19
front and 305/30ZR-19 rear Bridgestone Potenzas, is simply unbelievable.
It’s further enhanced by the dynamic engine mounts, which create a firm link
between engine and body as needed. But we’d still probably prefer some of its
mid-engine competitors at high triple-digit speeds, where the 911 requires
keeping both hands on the steering wheel. Porsche says 30 to 40 percent of Turbo customers upgrade
their cars with the aggressive carbon-ceramic brakes. Fade and wear are greatly
reduced versus cast-iron rotors. We like the fact that the carbon setup is
included on this model. It’s hard-biting response fits the sharpened character
of the Turbo S and gives a feeling of absolute control. Sport Plus More Sport The Sport Chrono package has really grown on us, managing to
change the personality of the car at the press of a button. In sport mode, the
chassis is stiffened by way of the active suspension, the PDK shifts later and
more rapidly, and the stability-control system intervenes later. Throttle
response is quickened, the engine computer switches to a hard rev limiter, and
the traction-management system sends more power to the rear. Sport provides a
noticeable difference from the standard program, which upshifts very early and
generally does a great job camouflaging this car’s wickedly aggressive
character. But to unleash the Turbo S’s full potential, you need to hit
the “sport plus” button. It’s the ultimate escalation. The PDK gives up trying
to “learn” your driving style, instead shifting late and hard. Seventh gear,
which exists solely for fuel economy, is abandoned entirely, and the engine is
recalibrated with more aggressive response from the variable turbocharger’s
dynamic blades. The ride stiffens considerably in sport plus mode, and you
notice every bump, but the car feels positively glued to the asphalt. This
program is so extreme that many drivers probably would get weary if they
couldn’t switch it off. But it is awesome.
The Turbo S exceeds the Turbo in price by about $26,500 in
coupe and convertible forms. As you start adding options to a regular Turbo,
the Turbo S quickly starts making sense. “It’s really quite a bargain,” said a
Porsche spokesman. |

Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
Mark Webber hospitalized as Porsche takes first WEC victory, Toyota wins championship [UPDATE]
Mon, Dec 1 2014It was a mixed bag for the Porsche team at the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo this weekend – the last race of its first season in the FIA World Endurance Championship. On the one hand, the German team took its first win since launching its LMP1 effort at the start of this season. On the other, its star driver suffered a massive crash that left him in the hospital. The crash occurred with less than half an hour to go when Mark Webber, who was running sixth in the #20 Porsche 919 Hybrid, lost control at Turn 14 at the Interlagos circuit – the same spot where he crashed his Jaguar F1 car during the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix – and crashed tail-first into the barrier. Both Webber and Matteo Cressoni (driver of the #90 Ferrari 458 Italia with which Webber collided) were evacuated to the trackside medical center and were then taken to the nearby Hospital Bandeirantes. Both were reportedly conscious throughout but are undergoing further testing, described as being in "satisfactory" condition by the FIA medical official on the scene. The occurrence of the crash so close to the end of the race, and the time it took to clear the wreckage, meant there was not enough time for a restart, so the race was completed under the safety car. But when the field did cross the finish line, it was the #14 Porsche 919 Hybrid driven by Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Mark Lieb that took the checkered flag – marking the first time that Porsche has won an endurance prototype race since 1989. Of course, that solitary victory was not enough for Porsche to take the title, which went to the Toyota TS 040 driven by former F1 drivers Sebastien Buemi and Anthony Davidson, who finished the race in second place ahead of the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro driven by the retiring Tom Kristensen and his co-pilots Lucas di Grassi and Loic Duval. Top honors for the season in LMP2 went to Sergey Zlobin for SMP Racing in the Oreca-Nissan, while Ferrari took the GT title. UPDATE: Mark Webber released the following statement on his condition: "I'm quite sore this morning, am pretty bruised and have got a stinking headache. I've got no recollection of the accident or how it happened. The team is looking into the details to find out more.
World's largest toy car collection is in Beirut, and it's remarkable
Fri, Jan 31 2014It's common for auto enthusiasts to have a few miniatures of their favorite cars around their home or office. They provide a respite of happiness knowing that if you can't have the real things, at least you can look at them in miniature. However, Billy Karam of Beirut, Lebanon, has taken collecting toy cars to its extreme. His collection of over 30,000 model cars and 400 dioramas is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest collection of car toys. "You cannot buy the big ones, so you buy a thousand of the small ones instead," says Karam in the video. Karam is a former amateur racing driver with a weakness for all things Porsche, and many of his dioramas depict races that he drove in or attended. Looking at them gives him a chance to relive the experiences again, but unlike a photo or video, they are right there in three dimensions.
