Porsche 992 Turbo S

Reading aloud from the performance highlights of the 992 Turbo S, it doesn’t look like much to the world. 650 hp from a boxer six with four-wheel drive. You’ve heard those before. But the engineers in Stuttgart seem to be equipped with a magic wand because the final product can best be compared to a nuclear weapon. 0-100 is completed in just over 2.4 seconds and although that is impressive in itself, it is even more impressive that 0-200 is completed in a scant 8 seconds. To give perspective on abstract numbers, it takes Bugatti’s supercar Veyron 7.7 seconds for the same task. The only difference is that the Turbo S offers a usability that is missing from all of its opponents. The perfect ‘one-car solution’.

The exterior here is subtle but extremely elegant. GT Silver is the given color choice and is combined here with the 992 generation iconic five-spoke centerlocking rims which in turn hide huge ceramic discs with yellow calipers. The whole gives no hint of what is to come. Otherwise, the car is, as it should be, a quiet player. Elegant and with a very strong undertone of ‘if you know, you know’.

It is with devotion that you open the door and are welcomed by a muted blue leather upholstery. Elegance combined with silver stitching. The doors hide speakers from Burmester at the bottom, and at the top they are decorated by a decorative strip in carbon fiber that continues over the dashboard. There are few places in the sports car world that offer such a feeling of comfort in combination with the absolute violence that the powertrain delivers.
