When your entire brand is based on one core model and its abilities, perfection is an ever-fleeting goal and improvements must always be made to retain the loyalty of those who love the brand. In the case of BMW, that perfect benchmark model is the M3. With Porsche, it's the 911. For 2021, the latest and greatest offering from Stuttgart is the 911 Turbo, now in 992 guise. The 991.2 model was already dubbed the ultimate sports car, so has the exercise of changing things been of benefit, or has Porsche gone backward? With 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from its 3.8-liter twin-turbo boxer-six, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S is certainly more powerful, and the 572-hp Turbo is hardly a sluggard, either. Thanks to other advances, it's somehow even more of a perfect super sports car against rivals like the Mercedes-AMG GT. Wanna know how much more perfect? Keep reading.
The new models are available to order from Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland. The Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé is priced from £134,400.00 RRP and the 911 Turbo Cabriolet from £143,560.00 RRP.
Customers will also be invited to explore the potential of their new car, and further develop their own skills behind the wheel, by participating in a bespoke driving experience around the unique tracks at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone.
