Porsche 911 Carrera S.
The Porsche 911 is a motoring institution. In production for over 50 years, it has become the yardstick by which all other sports cars are measured. It’s fast yet practical, insofar as sports cars are concerned; and it’s equally at home trotting about in shopping center carparks as it is blitzing down race tracks.
The 911 recently received a midlife upgrade and its one of the most controversial updates yet. In the past, only the “Turbo” models in the 911 line-up had turbos. Now, the entire 911 range has been turbocharged - save for the purist-only 911R and the trackfocused GT3 RS.
Purists are unhappy and say that it will affect the dynamics of the car. However, Porsche argues that the benefits of the turbos will far outweigh its disadvantages. For a start, the new 911s will be faster yet more fuelefficient.
The 911 Carrera S that we tested, is powered by a 3-liter twin-turbo flat-six and makes 420hp and 500nm of torque. Despite the smaller engine, that’s an improvement of 25hp and 60nm over the model it replaces. But more impressive is the fact that maximum torque is available from as low as 1,700rpm. Porsche also claims that fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 13%.
