Geneva Preview: 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S Gets 530-hp
As expected, after delivering the 911 Turbo and then producing an updated model with 530-hp, the German sports car experts at Porsche have now revealed the 911 Turbo S with 530-hp – the very same amount produced by the GT2. Using the same twin-turbo flat six, torque has also been upped to 516 ft-lbs enabling an alarmingly fast 0-62 mph time of just 3.3 seconds. Top speed is rated at an impressive 196-hp.
Power is transmitted to the ground with all four wheels via Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.
Other highlights include launch control, the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and 19-inch center-locking RS Spyder style wheels.
Both a coupe and cabriolet model will be offered with the official debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March.
Pricing for the car is set at €145,400 for the coupe and €154,900 for the cabriolet, plus tax, with U.S. pricing expected shortly.
