'0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds' Porsche 911 Turbo S Launched in Korea... Price Starting from 274.3 Million KRW
Maximum Output 662 Horsepower · Maximum Torque 81.6 kg·m
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Porsche Korea announced on the 9th that it has launched the new flagship model of the new 911, the new '911 Turbo S,' in Korea and is expanding the 8th generation lineup.
The ‘911 Turbo S,’ available as a coupe and cabriolet, is equipped with a 3.8ℓ boxer engine featuring two VTG turbochargers, delivering a maximum output of 662 horsepower and a peak torque of 81.6 kg·m. Through the 8-speed Porsche double-clutch transmission designed exclusively for the 911 Turbo, the coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, and the cabriolet in 2.8 seconds. The top speed is 330 km/h.
Notably, the engine of the 911 Turbo S was newly developed based on the technology applied to the new 911 Carrera engine. Improvements in responsiveness, output, torque, emissions, and engine rotation response were achieved through a redesigned intercooler system, a large symmetrical VTG turbocharger with an electrically adjustable wastegate flap, and piezo injectors.
It demonstrates high appeal not only on the race track but also in everyday driving. Based on the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive system, torque distribution is optimized, delivering up to 51 kg·m of torque to the front wheels. The standard PASM chassis also maximizes sporty performance.
The body size has increased. The front body width of the vehicle is 45 mm wider at 1840 mm, and the rear has increased by 20 mm to 1900 mm. Changes in track width, aerodynamic improvements, and new mixed wheel tires further enhance agility and sporty performance. The track width has increased by 42 mm on the front axle and 10 mm on the rear axle.
The interior completes an elegant yet sporty design. Leather interior and carbon trim highlighted in light silver color are provided as standard. A new two-tone interior design is available as an option. High-quality graphic elements and logos on the dashboard also express the unique characteristics of the ‘Turbo S.’
