ON THE 45th anniversary of the Turbo badge’s introduction, Porsche ripped the covers off its new 992 911 Turbo S.
Of the non-GT 911s, the Turbo has long been the biggest, baddest and most fearsome. It’s main drawcard has always been the engine, and this 992-generation is no different.
The 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six that sits behind the rear axle is a heavily reworked version of Porsche’s EA9A2 Evo unit. Compared to the Carrera models, there is an extra 800cc, new piezo fuel injectors and a redesigned intake. The variable geometry turbos have grown too: turbine wheels are up 5mm to 55mm, while the compressor wheel has grown 3mm to 61mm. The turbos are now symmetrical, spinning in opposite directions, with electronically adjustable wastegates for even faster response times.
