1,500 HP Porsche 911 Turbo S Sets 1/4-Mile World Record with Amazing 8.7s Run

We'll start by reminding you that Ekanoo's 991-generation Turbo S set a PDK record in October 2017, when the supercar managed to play the quarter-mile game in 8.99 seconds, with a trap speed of 258.7 km/h (that's 160.7 mph).

And the aficionados have just returned with a new record, as the massaged Turbo S has recently managed to up the ante on the 1,320 feet front. To be more precise, the beast completed the 1/4-mile task in 8.713s at 264 km/h (164 mph).

You can check out the new feat in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page. Notice that the driver of the Porscha doesn't take any chances, so he ignores the reaction time part of the game. In other words, the drag racers doesn't start when the light turns green, preferring to let the car build boost and focus on the rest of the run instead.

After all, the clock doesn't start ticking until the machine gets off the line and since there was no opponent involved, the approach was ideal.

When we talked about the feat last year, we mentioned that the said team wouldn't stop there and we can say that again - we'll continue to keep an eye out for sprinting adventures of the sort and bring these to you as soon as they show up.

Meanwhile, we'll remind you that Ekanoo Racing has also delivered quicker 911 stunts. For instance, here's a 997-generation 911 GT2 fulfilling its quarter-mile duties in 7.95 seconds, with a trap speed of 190 mph (make that 305.9 km/h).
