530 PS, 30 PS More Than the Normal Turbo



This new Turbo S is powered by a newly developed 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, similar to the normal Turbo. However, it features modifications to the valve control system and dedicated tuning in areas such as the variable turbine geometry. As a result, it achieves a maximum output of 530 PS at 6,250 rpm, an increase of 30 PS over the normal Turbo. The maximum torque is 700 Nm, generated across a wide rev range of 2,100-4,250 rpm.

The transmission is a 7-speed PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung). The drivetrain is a full-time 4WD system with Porsche Traction Management (PTM), complemented by standard dynamic engine mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with an LSD.








Price Approximately 3.5 Million Yen Higher Than Normal



The performance figures are astounding: 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h. These numbers surpass those of its rival, the Nissan GT-R (3.5 seconds, 310 km/h), truly placing it at the pinnacle of global performance.

The "Turbo S," officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, comes equipped with nearly all the optional items from the 911 Turbo, including the "Sport Chrono Package Turbo." In Japan, the coupe is priced at 23.65 million yen, and the cabriolet at 26.46 million yen. This represents an increase of approximately 3.5 million yen compared to the normal 911 Turbo.

BRAND HISTORY
Globally revered by discerning drivers, PORSCHE stands as Germany's preeminent sports car marque.PORSCHEIts origins trace back to 1931, when Ferdinand Porsche, a brilliant engineer who had already made a name for himself in his twenties, established his own "Porsche Design Office" in Stuttgart, Germany, after a tenure as technical director at Daimler. He subsequently undertook numerous vehicle development projects for various automotive manufacturers. Among his most celebrated contributions was the "Volkswagen Beetle," a car that played a pivotal role in the popularization of automobiles in Germany, often referred to as the "people's car."

The first car to bear his name as a manufacturer was the "356," introduced in 1948. Porsche continued to introduce iconic sports cars like the "911," "924," and "928," while also dedicating significant resources to motorsport. Their racing pedigree includes 16 victories at the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans and three Formula 1 constructor championships as an engine supplier. This legacy of engineering prowess and unwavering commitment to driving performance continues to define their vehicles today.

Today, the "911," a sports car that has maintained its top-tier status for 45 years since its debut, remains a cornerstone of the lineup. Alongside it are the open-top sports car "Boxster," its coupe counterpart the "Cayman," and the premium sports SUV "Cayenne." All models enjoy immense popularity, reflecting the brand's enduring appeal.
