911 Turbo S

2010–2013Coupé · Cabriolet

The 997 Turbo S was unveiled in April 2010 and delivered from May, reaching its top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph) — 15 km/h more than the standard Turbo. Its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six combined direct fuel injection with variable turbine geometry to produce 530 PS (523 hp) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), enabling 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.7 seconds and 0–200 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The PDK seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox was standard, as were ceramic composite brakes (PCCB), forged alloy wheels with centre locks, rear differential lock and the Sport Chrono Package. It was the first Turbo S equipped with launch control.
