Time-testing the new 911 Turbo S - Quarter-mile, 0-100, 0-200km/h, can it beat Porsche's claims?

Looking for the used Porsche of your dreams? We have over 230 to choose from:
www.cars.co.za/usedcars/Porsche/
Quite simply, this is one of the fastest cars ever made. For the new 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S, the company beefed up the already potent 3.8-litre flat 6 with larger turbochargers and a host of other upgrades to now produce over 650hp and 800Nm of torque.
Porsche claim the new generation of the famous nameplate, or rather the car attached to it, can achieve some head-spinning acceleration times. 0-100km/h in 2.7 seconds and 0-200km/h in 8.9 seconds...but they didn't mention the quarter-mile.
And so we rented a runway outside of Cape Town to safely (and legally) put these claims to the test. Join Ciro De Siena as he avoids whiplash to bring you this important piece of consumer journalism.

I reckon it could go even faster if you used a track that wasn’t so dusty and rough. Also, the quality of the fuel too. Otherwise that’s really insane considering the given conditions.

What I love about this car is the lack of fuss when it launches. So effortless and it's always consistent. That 650hp figure belies its bonkers performance. Porsche seems to have the best launch control in the business. Doesn't matter the model.

[@brucelee1987]

Many people dream of owning a Lamborghini, Ferrari or McLaren. I lust after the Turbo S. My one friend's dad owns the 991.2 version and took me out in it. The first time he launched it, I genuinely struggled to speak for about 3-4 seconds.

[@bhekimdhluli6689]

It's such an unusual experience that you can't describe it to others. It's like an assault. Bracing your head against the headrest is critical.

[@duffydon1741]

That is because Porsches are not exotics unless it's a GT2RS...

[@TheTmat007]

To me, McLaren rules, in terms of performance. The Turbo S rely on AWD for hard acceleration. And in my opinion, AWD takes away for the overall fun factor. Personally, I wouldn't buy an AWD supercar....only sedan, truck or suv.

this is my favorite 992 Turbo S launch control video! I ordered the same car last summer and it was just delivered a few weeks ago. I bought a Dragy after seeing this :)

[@Kart99GP]

Best launch procedure is to use Sport Mode and by using the "Boost" button once Launch Control has been activated. It could increase 0-100 time by as much as ,3 sec.

Hi there, in most cases the timing is out of our hands. Often new cars are launched in Europe some months or even up to a year before they arrive in South Africa. Additionally we have to wait for manufacturers to make media cars available to us. We do out very best to film and publish videos about new cars at the earliest opportunity. Thank you for your support :)

[@schlix101]

For all the fans and Petrol heads out there, here are two rather enjoyable videos... They may help to put some perspective into the true spectacle of the new 911 Turbo S: First up: Taycan Turbo S vs new Tesla Model S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6WmeIhtd7l1rJo And the finale: 911 Turbo S vs Taycan Turbo S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omPSm3anndZ6kJo Now we just need a drag race between the 911 Turbo S and a Hyper Car such as a Bugatti Chiron. Not to see who comes first after the 1/4 mile, although that would be fun too, but to see how long it takes for a Chiron to come past the 911 Turbo S after the initial launch. I have a strong suspicion that this, 2020/2021 911 Turbo S, will become one of the most iconic 911's of all time. Much like the first 911 Turbo between (1975-1977) and the '95-98 911 Turbo (bad boys 1, anyone?), before they got all dweary eyed from 1999/2000; and remained like that for way to long. For me, this 911 Turbo S is a true return to it's 911 roots. And I am happy for that.
