New Porsche 911 Turbo S review | World’s most capable sports car | Autocar

This is the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which makes 701bhp from its all-new 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged engine.

Badged T-Hybrid, this engine combines two electric turbochargers and an 80bhp motor in the gearbox to not only give the 992.2-generation 911 Turbo an astonishing amount of power, but a quickness of response like no other 911 Turbo before it, too.

That power drives through an eight-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox, to all four wheels. And the 911 Turbo S’s chassis is backed by active rear steer and anti-roll bars, adaptive springs, humungous carbon ceramic brakes and bigger tyres than ever.

What does this equate to on the road and on circuit? Is the 911 Turbo S capable but cold? Or can it be this mega in all conditions and yet engaging to drive too?

Join Autocar’s Matt Prior as he drives at Ascari race resort in the new £199,100 Turbo S coupe, and takes to nearby roads in a cabriolet.
