Video | New Porsche 911 Turbo S: upgraded and unstoppable?

The Porsche 911 is an icon offering both sports car thrills and everyday usability. Its prestigious badge, tip-top handling and alluring looks have seen it crowned Best Luxury Car at Autotrader’s Drivers’ Choice Awards two years in a row. But what happens when you crank up the dial on the 911’s performance beyond its usual exuberant levels? Enter the freshly updated 911 Turbo S. In this video Rory Reid takes this range-topping 911 for a spin to see whether it outperforms exotic supercars from Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren.

So, what’s new and how does the Turbo S differ from other models in the 911 range? Rory begins by explaining how Porsche has combined a hearty 3.6-litre engine with a battery, an electric motor and twin electric turbos to make this hybrid 911 Turbo S the most powerful production 911 yet.

While the performance stats are mid-blowing, the Turbo S still looks immediately recognisable as a 911, but there are some differences from the rest of the range. Rory talks us through the unique design details inside and out, though you’ll need to have a keen eye to spot some of them.

The key question, though, is what does it feel like to drive? This is what you’re really here for, and Rory is only too pleased to show you. Is this the best version yet? You’ll just have to watch the video to find out.
