Lot #1434 - At release, the new Porsche Turbo was met with a little skepticism. Now that the Carrera and Carrera S are turbocharged, where would the new Turbo S fit in to the hierarchy? When the press cars were handed out, the car firmly asserted its identity. That identity is laid firmly in the realm of performance. An additional 20hp was extracted from the 3.8-liter of the previous Turbo S for a total of 572hp in little more than 3,600 pounds. The car will see 60 mph flash past from a standing start in just 2.9 seconds. Upgrades are abundant. Just about every part of the car has been revised, from engine internals to bigger variable geometry turbos, slightly wider 20” center-lock wheels, to a 4-wheel drive system, which gets a faster-acting electro-hydraulically operated clutch pack to shuffle the torque more promptly. A Sports Response button on the new steering wheel-mounted driving mode selector primes the twin-turbo 3.8-liter engine and 7-speed automatic transmission for big overtakes, ensuring the right gear is engaged for maximum forward thrust. This brilliantly engaging Turbo S is offered in Rhodium Silver over a very stylish black and Garnet Red leather interior. With 1,823 actual miles on the odometer, this formidable and highly optioned car features a full Aero Kit, carbon-fiber accents and upgraded audio infotainment system, among the extensive option list.
