Taking the 911 Turbo to a new level911 Turbo S set for Geneva reveal

New Zealand. With the new 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet having just gone on sale in New Zealand on the 30th of January, Porsche has announced that it will reveal to the world the even more dynamic
911 Turbo S at the Geneva International Motor Show in three weeks time.

The new top-of-the-range 911 takes all the virtues of the 911 Turbo, but adds even more performance and equipment. At the heart of the exclusive 911 Turbo S is the same six-cylinder boxer engine with twin turbochargers found in the 911 Turbo, but with power boosted from
368 kW to 390 kW. Maximum torque is bolstered from 650 Nm to a super impressive 700 Nm.

Despite the significant increase in power and performance, the new
911 Turbo S, at 11.4 litres/ 100 kilometre, does not consume any more fuel than the Porsche 911 Turbo, making it by far the most efficient sports car in its performance class.

The 911 Turbo S comes exclusively with Porsche’s seven-speed double-clutch (PDK) transmission, conveying drive to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system.

Driving safety and performance are further optimised with Dynamic Engine Mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) mechanical rear differential lock as standard.

In conjunction with Launch Control featured as part of the standard Sport Chrono Package, the 911 Turbo S accelerates from a zero to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 10.8 seconds Top speed is
315 km/h.

Extra-light and fade-resistant Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are also standard and provide outstanding stopping power and braking control.

The supreme level of standard equipment including Dynamic Cornering Lights, 19-inch wheels in RS Spyder design with single-piece centre lock, three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles, adaptive sports seats, iPod/USB and Bluetooth connectivity, plus exclusive twin-tone leather upholstery in Black/Crema or Black/Titanium Blue additionally underline the outstanding class and calibre of this first
911 Turbo S in five years.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S will be available in both Coupe and Cabriolet and go on sale in New Zealand in August 2010, priced from $385,000 and $400,000 respectively.

Meanwhile, the new 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet are available now, priced from $342,000 and $357,000 respectively.
