At this point, we should’ve been flying off the cliff backwards. Despite this, our 911 Turbo S tester still has some lateral resources to offer, so we’re keeping that throttle buried deep.
There are so many tech things to mention when talking about the new, 991-generation 911 Turbo, but the most important is the fact that all four corners do the... cornering. Yes, the rear axle has been to ZF school and was taught how to steer.
From the first moment you start rolling, you will notice the agility of the thing. If this car would have an animal name, it would definitely have to be a feline.
Now do not imagine all the changes have went to the firepower department. Oh no. The 911 Turbo is now more domestic than ever. This sets the thing even further apart from most of the supercar society.
Despite this, the increase in performance and price has brought the Turbo, especially the S, closer to exotics like the McLaren 12C. Before, you would only buy a 911 Turbo if you specifically sought the Porsche spirit, but now they’ve made it so good we’re expecting to see some customer thefts.
It’s not all perfect though. Porsche has worked hard to boost the 911 Turbo’s personality and they’ve succeeded, but only up to a point.
One of the most important changes comes from the soundtrack department. There’s a sound symposer, a mechanical unit, which brings sweet flat six intake tunes inside the cabin. Still, the sound of the turbo pressure being released as you come off the gas remains our favorite.
As for the rest of the sounds this car make, we can talk about them in our 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S test drive.
