Porsche 911 Turbo S 2021 review - see how quick it REALLY is to 60mph!

this is the new porsche 911 turbo s and apparently it's even quicker than the old turbo s which is actually one of the fastest cars i've ever driven i've got him so in this video i'm going to be putting this car through various performance tests to see just how quick it really is as well as giving it a general all-round reviewing as well now if you click on the pop-out banner up there you can get a car out to check out the best lease deals on porsche's through car wow also you can check out reviews and deals on any car for that matter if you know of someone who's looking to buy a car just tell them about car wow it's the go-to car buying comparison website let's start off by talking about the engine and this is the closest you can get to it because it's under there slung out over the rear axle it's a 3.7 liter twin turbo flat six with 650 horsepower and 800 newton meters of torque that's 70 horsepower more and 50 newton meters more than the old turbo s had and it drives all four wheels via an eight-speed pdk dual clutch automatic gearbox with launch control porsche's car can do not to 60 in just 2.7 seconds which is 0.2 of a second quicker than the old 911 turbo s i put my glasses on so i can make doubly sure that i can see where i'm going because it's that quick but i want to test out their claims so i've got my new specialist timing gear right here i'm gonna launch this car it's quite easy to do just put the car into sports plus mode then drive for the gearbox and floor the brake floor the throttle we should be good to go there we are now let's do it crikey [Music] bang on 2.6 seconds 2.63 to be precise let's give another go because the tyres were cold it was scrabbling for grip let's see if we can do better [Music] that was a bit more brutal no stability came in got a quicker one 2.61 let's go quicker because the stability did cut in whoa what am i looking down there i think that's it 2.55 everyone we have a winner ladies and gentlemen thankfully porsche has given the turbo s brakes to match its performance so as standard you get carbon ceramics and absolutely huge so at the back you have 390 millimeter discs gripped by four piston calipers so that's bigger brakes you get on most cars at the front they're actually 420 millimeter discs gripped by 10 piston calipers they should be strong now let's see just how good these brakes really are so i'm going to do a brake test from 70 miles an hour when i reach the line down cone full emergency stop the cone after it is 50 meters away so i want to stop before that ideally quite a bit before that but we shall see and i'll check the distance exactly using my new specialist timing gear once again so let's do it as i'll launch it while i'm at it hey let's get to 17. as quick as we can there it is right 70 come on whoa that is insane that is definitely the shortest distance i've ever stopped while filming here let's see what the specialist diamond gear says what's the actual number so it's stopped from 70 miles an hour in just 39 meters that's the best i've had yet it really is i reckon if this car stopped in the yard it would probably tear your aortic arch that's one for the doctors the kind of people who've been buying these cars well the consultants that is you have to be consultant level to afford a release compared to the normal carrera 4s the turbo s's track which is the distance between the wheels across an axle is 43 millimeters wider at the back but at the front for some reason it's six millimeters narrower there's pause talk vectoring as standard so that's effectively an electronically controlled limited slip differential at the back here and what it does it send power to the rear wheel with the most grip to help slingshot you out of corners the turbo ice has re-tuned sport suspension it comes as standard with adaptive dampers so you can choose between a firmer and a softer setting you can also upgrade the car which this one has to the optional sport suspension upgrade which basically just lowers it by 10 millimeters when you're driving along normally the car's all-wheel drive system basically sends all the power to the rear wheels then when you need some extra grip at the front it can send 500 newton meters of torque to the front wheels to help pull you out of trouble the car is fitted with dynamic engine mounts so when you're just driving along normally they're kind of fairly loose and relaxed and chilled so you don't get too many vibrations entering the cabin but then when you go around the corner they tighten up to stop the engine moving about all over the place to keep the car nice and precise there's also active anti-roll bars which sort of do a similar job with the suspension so when you're just driving along in a straight line they're all relaxed and chilled so it doesn't feel too bumpy but then when you go around a corner they kind of like prop the car up and stop it leading so much so it's all nice and precise again more precise it's all about being precise this car and then chilled when he needed to be another thing you get as standard on the turbo s is rear wheel steering so when you're going at low speeds the back wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels a bit like on a forklift truck to aid low speed maneuverability then when you're getting faster they actually turn in the same direction of the front wheels to aid high speed stability interestingly the rear wheel steering system fitted to the turbo s responds six percent quicker big wow than that you can fit optionally to the normal 911. the turbo rs also comes with standard with the new c-a-t system over there you can see it operating in the background see what you use that for is to prevent any kind of like mice in your garage which could nor await the cars wiring or anything like that so the cat system very very good unfortunately it's quite expensive if you just have it fit to the normal 911s but with the turbos you get it standard okay let's see what this thing is like on a twisty road so i've got the car in sports plus mode and manual mode for the gearbox and my god this gearbox is quick that's nice sharp steering feel the stability control helping me out a bit there but the car is quite adjustable when you lift off a bit more than i was expecting but the grip is insane and the body control is great as well it just stays nice and flat [Music] there's loads of air weight just like holds on grips bit of understeer when you push too hard but you let off and it just that's it comes back round rear engine car supposedly unbalanced yeah the balance is incredible i thought the turbo was supposed to be the least fun of the 911s but that was a lot of fun it's got my heart racing but not in a way like i'm scared i reckon my mum could drive this thing quickly oh what a start go it's safe it's secure it helps you out it's not larry crazy like the gt2 rs and if you want to see my four input video review of that car click on the banner up there but yeah put a smile on your face and you'll get to your destination in one piece no problem at all portion it the stability control should go all the way off now despite being four-wheel drive it should be able to send 100 of the power to the rear wheels like i said earlier so let's see if it'll slide shall we [Applause] it definitely will [Applause] i can feel the power going to the front when it starts to slide a bit too much but it will do what you want it to do it's really good and controllable i think that's enough of this there we go it's calm down yeah it's light the turbo has a redesigned front bumper compared to the normal 911 all the vents obviously are real it's a porsche they don't do fake vents and porsches and it's got these little upturned fins here which are kind of like the cars 200 it's if it's quality what's your problem mate make it look more aggressive though it still doesn't look as aggressive as the old gt2 rs the tebow s has 20 inch alloy wheels at the front and 21 inches at the back and it has those racing style center locking nuts as well which are pretty cool also you might notice this look there's this extra side skirt here which kicks out towards the rear and the obligatory turbo air scoops that are real again wait a minute what's in there come on no joking here at the back the turbo s's body is actually eight millimeters wider just that much across its rear haunches to give it a bit more presence also the spoiler is visible rather than the pop-out version you get on the normal carreras though this does pop up further when you're going faster at speed it also has a visible horizontal brake light rather than the vertical ones which are worked into the engine cover on the normal car the rear bumper is reworked as well so you've got some bigger air vents at the side and you've got your turbo s badging there also the number plate has been moved from there on the normal car to here reason being there's some more vents here which feed air for the engine i actually prefer the location that number plate than having it lower down but what do you think let me know in the comments box below here on the inside the tubosis cabin is pretty much identical to the normal 911s so you've got a really nicely laid out sporty feeling high quality cabin with a brilliant driving position the central infotainment system is pretty decent and you've got one analog dial in the middle for the rev counter flanked by two little digital screens each side which is pretty cool but on the turbo s you have a little picture of the actual turbo s car there with its protruding rear wing and wider haunches and it says 911 turbo s on here as well as on the central rev counter you also have 911 turbo s on the aluminium sill plates the steering wheel also has a dead ahead marker as well and the turbo ace gets the upgraded extended leather so you get leather on the dash and on the doors and you get extra silver trim on the door handles and down the sides of the doors you also get 18 way electrical sport seats oh yeah lots of adjustment that is instead of the normal four-way electrical adjustment of the standard car and it also has turbo s embossed on the headrest and that's pretty much your lot apart from this you also get sports chrono as standard on the turbo s which includes this drive mode selector on the steering wheel which is nice and handy here in the back the turbo s is just like any other 911 so it's not particularly pleasant for children and it's bordering on medieval torture for adults now if you need to carry some things into the people you can fold down this back seat if you need to squeeze in some unusually shaped objects as with all 911s you get a front boot though for some reason the turbo s's capacity is 128 liters whereas the carrera 4s has 132 liters what did they do with those four litres with the pump i don't know still the capacity is greater here in the front boot than the front boot you get on an audi r8 and if you'd like to see a porsche racer now dr8 click on the pop-up button up there to watch the drag race now then it's time for the car wow 5 annoying things about this car most new cars are lighter than the cars they replace but not here you see the porsche 911 turbo s is 40 kilos heavier than the old one it weighs in at kilos so it's porker bar name and porker by nature porsche's this car should be able to return 23 miles per gallon but over the past 416 miles this one has done 15.5 miles per gallon which is about the same kind of economy i get at my big old amg g63 on this plaque porsche's car has a 3.8 liter engine but that's a lie it's actually like i said at the beginning a 3.7 liter it's a 3.745 liter engine to be precise which you should round down however the germans just have a bit of rounding everything up regardless maybe that's why their economy is better than ours if you want this car to sound as good as it can then you need to upgrade to the sports exhaust and it's a 2180 pound option when ready it should be standard on a card this price now normally the car sounds like this when you press the button it opens the valve in the exhaust and then it sounds like this which really is the sound it should make in the first place there's no spare wheel in this car instead you have to use tire sealant goo thing is though that's actually on the options list now it only costs 42 pounds which is a trifling matter to someone who can afford a car such as this but what happens if you forget to select it which you may well do because you just assume that it was standard then you're going to get a puncture and you're going to be less stranded because you don't have this don't worry there's still plenty to like about this car here's a car wow five call features the eight-speed automatic gearbox has a longer final gear compared to the carrera 4s which means that its top speed is 50 miles an hour higher at 205 miles an hour as well as the extendable rear spoiler there's also an extendable front splitter when you combine all those aerodynamic add-ons you get from them a maximum of 100 kilograms of combined downforce unlike the turbochargers on the old turbo s which are spun the same way the ones on the new turbo s spin the opposite way which helps improve the airflow into the engine for quicker responses the stitching pad on the seats and the doors mimics that of the original 911 turbo the 930 from the 70's that's his threat draw yar you're worried about scraping your car's nose on speedups and stuff like that don't worry you can pay 1700 pounds for a front axle lift there raise it up a bit one of the great things about the porsche 911 turbo is that it's so easy to live with every day when you're just driving around town pretty normal mode the controls are just nice and light gearbox is good visibility is actually really good it's good for a normal car it's brilliant for like something with this much performance you can just chill you know i need 50 and then you slowly need to overtake someone floor it get boxing stone and [Music] that's wheel spin then god knows what gear that's a hundred oh whoa i think it just wakes up again and it's utterly utterly barking mad actually let's see what the in-gear acceleration's like from 40 miles an hour in fourth gear bit of turbo lag now it's on boost and it's just flying it's flying and that's a hundred now you might see a speed sign saying 70. don't worry this is a closed road i can do a hundred and this thing you can do 100 like no problem let's put it back into just relaxing automatic mode and chill a bit now i am chilling i do notice two problems with the car those back tyres they're so huge you get so much road noise from them it's 50 miles an hour and it's quite annoying and when you get a bit quicker i can just hear the wind whistling through there a little bit the standout feature is the suspension when it's just in normal mode it's absolutely fine over bumps anyway that's in for that let's have some more fun again good sport plus manual mode for the gearbox here we go well you really can be a complete with it and it won't kill you well it just holds on in the bends running a bit wide with understeer lift off comes back around no problem all safe and sound jobs are good and i'm pleased with that like this very much finally let's talk about the price so the porsche 911 s starts from 156 000 pounds and as standard you get porch matrix led headlights a reversing camera which believe it or not isn't standard on the normal 911 an upgraded bose stereo and metallic paint yes you get that standard not just a flat color which is good this card does have a few options fitted to it such as night vision and that sports exhaust and blah blah blah blah blah as a result this one costs 167 000 pounds which is quite a lot of money but you can make a porsche 911 turbo it's a bit more affordable by having it on lease higher in fact if you click on the pop out banner there you can see the least higher options on porsche 911s through car wow go see how much they can cost you per month so then what's my final verdict on the porsche 911 turbo s should you avoid it should you i'll solder that you should just go right ahead and buy if you can afford it just buy it buy it or lease it or buy it just just get one it's great [Music] i'd like to think i'm a cat whisperer clearly not they don't run off completely come on poor cat get back in the front come on back in the front i have to get that later the problem with it i i think there might be a recall about that because it sometimes just runs off but i'm sure they'll fix that maybe for the facelift

This generation's GT2RS is going to be insane.

[u/powerglover81]

It’s almost getting to the point where 0-60 has lost its....edit: I can’t think of the right word. It just seems silly now it’s so short.

2.5 seconds? Shit man, that’s insane.

[u/whispering_pilot]

I need one of those C-A-T systems

[u/Ronkerjake]

10 piston calipers? Holy shit.

[u/lionhurt24]

Honestly this car is just bonkers. With performance and interior and fat wheels like that. A bargain is the least we could say about it

[u/gundamsudoku003]

Don't really see carwow linked here but I think the host has an easy going charm that makes his videos breezy to watch.

[u/s_0_s_z]

Let's measure the speed in Imperial units, but the stopping distance in metric.

[u/ISandblast]

This is getting ridiculous.

(In a fantastic way)

[u/BABYEATER1012]

The performance is insane but so is the price. I do not understand how so many people can afford these cars.
