Video: 2011 Yellow Turbo S vs. 2013 Nissan GT-R http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLuI2R6mQ8w The Turbo S is actually quite luxurious. It offers all the
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. |

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
