Walk into a Porsche showroom these days and you'll be introduced to six derivatives, namely the Carrera (Cabriolet), the Carrera S (Cabriolet) and the Carrera 4S (Cabriolet). Of course, with the Neunelfer family packing north of twenty models at full maturity, there are plenty of new models coming. And the first should be the 992 Turbo.
The German automotive producer is expected to introduce the 2021 911 Turbo in the coming months, so engineers are currently polishing the final details.
Among others, this involves tests on Germany's unrestricted Autobahn, which is precisely what's going on in the spyshot at the bottom of the page. Note that while the rear valance of the this test car is still slightly camoed, the one of the prototype in the images above is not.
Speaking of the Autobahn, the 450 hp 992 Carrera S can already climb past 300 km/h (186 mph), so the expectations for the Turbo are sky-high.
After all, the Capital T model is expected to pack at least 600 horses in "standard" form. Nevertheless, that muscle might come from a new engine.
You see, in the race to meet ever-stricter emission standards, Zuffenhausen is expected to let the current 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six go, replacing this with an unit that could be based on the TT 3.0-liter flat-six animating the 2020 Carrera and Carrera S.
As for the Turbo S, this badge could morph into the Turbo S E-Hybrid, as it has happened with the Panamera and the Cayenne (the latter hasn't been revealed yet). However, we may have to wait three or four years for the release of the ".2" mid-cycle facelift to see if such rumors are true.
On the handling front, the wider tracks of the eighth-generation model are just one of the assets that will allow the Porsche 911 Turbo to deliver stellar performance. Of course, the Turbo will also be ideal for the role of daily driver, with this duality being the strongest point of the German machine.
