Porsche 992 Turbo S Stock vs. Tuned Drag Race Shows Massive Difference

Meanwhile, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is happy with its sports car status, though, to be fair, it's usually preceded by "crazy fast" or "ridiculously quick." And rightly so because the new turbocharged Neunelfer packs no less than 650 PS (640 hp) and way more torque than it will ever need, enabling the coupe to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds, which we all know is Porsche's way of saying at least 2.5 seconds, if not quicker.

The two cars we have here are not coupes, but the slightly heavier Cabriolet version. Since both the soft top and the coupe share the same generous specs - and because the coupe is quicker than the advertised 2.7 seconds - the convertible is also officially registered with the same acceleration time.

The coupe is known to be able to dip into the very high nines on occasion, though more often than not, it settles for the ultra-low tens. The Cabriolet, on the other hand, feels right at home in the mid-tens, which is what we should expect from it here as well, given it's a dedicated drag strip with a nice surface.

As we've said in the title, the trick is that one of the two 911 Cabrios is tuned. It's nothing spectacular: just new engine mapping and downpipes. Sadly, the owner hadn't put the Porsche on a dyno, so we can't know exactly how much more power it churns out. If we were to guess, we'd say it's somewhere in the region of 100 hp.

That means the winner is never in doubt, the real question being whether the modded 911 Turbo S could cause trouble for other models such as the McLaren 720S or the Ferrari F8 Tributo. We will have the answers soon, but in the meantime, you can watch the Cabriolet battle against time while having another Turbo S running in the lane next to it.
