Porsche’s next-generation 911 Turbo S could have as
much as 630 hp, pushing the hypercar-slayer to entirely new performance
heights. Autocar reports that Porsche engineers will
modifying the car’s existing 3.8-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine with
components from the GT2 RS, resulting in a 50 hp bump over the current 911
Turbo S.
If such a figure is reached, the new Turbo S will
easily be the quickest Turbo ever produced. As it stands, the 991.2 Turbo S is
one of the most accelerative cars on the planet, despite having significantly
less power than some of its rivals, including those from McLaren, Lamborghini,
and Ferrari.
Set to arrive in 2019, the 992-generation Porsche
911 promises to be a significant improvement over the current car. Beyond bumps
in power and torque across all variants, the 992 will include a new chassis and
improved suspension components. Additionally, the 992 will be the first 911
generation to offer a plug-in hybrid model.
The
new sports car will be adorned in bespoke bodywork and receive taillights
inspired by the Mission E Concept.
