The Porsche 911 Turbo has arrived. Featuring a twin-turbocharged and direct-injected 3.8-liter flat-six engine, the new 911 Turbo cranks out 520 horsepower. The 911 Turbo S will get you 560 ponies. That’s a lot of power.
Need to move fast? This is the car for you. Porsche is saying the 0-60 time is a mere 3.2 seconds for the Turbo, and just 2.9 seconds for the Turbo S. But speed doesn’t stop there. The two models have top speeds of 196 and 198 mph, respectively.
Some additional features and options include a retractable three-stage front spoiler and a deployable rear wing, 20-inch aluminum wheels and full-LED headlights.
Inside you’ll find 18-way adjustable seats, leather trim, and a Bose or Burmester premium sound system, radar-guided cruise control, and camera-based road sign recognition.
The Porsche 911 Turbo gets a respectable 24 mpg.
Pricing starts at $149,250 for the 911 Turbo and $182,050 for the 911 Turbo S.
