Porsche 996 Turbo S
The 911 Turbo S, with power from the 3.6 twin-turbocharged horizontally opposed flat-six cylinder engine, produces 444 bhp and 457 lb-ft of torque between 3500 and 4500 rpm, up from 415 bhp and 415 lb-ft in the 911 Turbo. The Turbo S has a maximum track-speed of 190 mph and accelerates from a standing start to 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 13.6 seconds, 0.8 seconds quicker than the 911 Turbo.
Standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S includes further developed Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB®). The internally ventilated ceramic discs have a diameter of 13.78 inches, both front and back. The front brakes use six-piston monobloc fixed callipers rather than the four-piston version used on the 911 Turbo.
In addition to the Turbo S logo on the rear lid and on door mouldings and centre console, the Turbo S is identified by its 18-inch wheels painted in 'GT silver metallic' with colored Porsche crests. Other standard features include cruise control, a six CD changer and a green-tinted band at the top of the windscreen. Also for this new model, special dark olive metallic paint is a no-cost option. Inside, the Turbo S features aluminium gauge faces and a Turbo S logo on the tachometer. Optional special leather is available on the seats, steering wheel, shift lever and hand brake lever.
