π 2018 Canadian International AutoShow. The New Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Unveiling
Monday, 19 February 2018 02:00.PM
The fastest and most powerful road-approved 911 is here. At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 700 hp twin turbo flat six engine. Weighing in at 1,470 kg with a full fuel tank, the lightweight two-seater accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The rear-wheel drive CoupΓ© has a top speed of 340 km/h, and with its near-motorsport drive technology, the new 911 GT2 RS bests its 3.6-litre predecessor by 80 hp and achieves a torque figure of 553 lb.-ft. (an increase of 36 lb.-ft.).
The fastest 911 of all time set a new record for road-approved sports cars on the 20.6-km NΓΌrburgring Nordschleife on September 20, 2017. The record time of 6 minutes and 47.3 seconds surpassed even Porscheβs own expectations. The previous record for road-approved sports cars of 6 minutes, 52.01 seconds was broken in the first attempt.
Porsche also offers an optional Weissach package, which provides a weight saving of around 20 kg. The package includes additional elements made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic and titanium. For instance, the roof and the anti-roll bars are made of carbon and wheels made from magnesium.
Prices for the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series start from $293,800 in Canada.
