The 2023 Porsche 911 Turbo‘s ability to produce speed is freakishly quick. A normal 573-hp 3.7-liter flat-six engine or a 640-hp version for Turbo S models powers its all-wheel-drive launches. With times of 0.8 seconds to 30 mph, 2.1 seconds to 60 mph, and 9.9 seconds at 138 mph for the quarter-mile, it ranks among the fastest vehicles ever. It’s near-magical handling, incredible steering feel, and enormous amount of grip support its rocket-like acceleration by enabling it to consume corners in one long gulp. Even without a manual option, the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic in the 911 Turbo is faster and more intelligent than we are. With this kind of strength, it makes sense to spend more time behind the wheel using both hands. Even though we adore the rear-drive, 473-hp 911 with a manual gearbox, we wouldn’t ever turn down the faster, firmer-sprung 911 Turbo or Turbo S.

What’s New?
The majority of the 2023 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S’s features stay the same, but a new limited-edition Sport Classic that combines the Turbo’s exterior design with the Turbo’s engine, rear-drive, and a seven-speed manual transmission is available this year. To operate within the power constraints of the manual gearbox, the standard Turbo engine was detuned. Only 1250 of the $273,750 vehicles will be sold worldwide. The Turbo and Turbo S are officially four-seaters, just like all 911 models, but adults cannot sit in the back seats. Although the interior is similar to that of the base 911 Carrera models, it has sportier trim, more expensive options, and a tonne of basic technology features, like a digital gauge display that can be customized.
Engine & Performance
A twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine that produces up to 640 horsepower in the more potent of the two variants hangs out in the back of both the Turbo and Turbo S; the regular Turbo model generates 572 horsepower. Shifts are managed by an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard. For the Turbo S, Porsche promises a time of 2.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. The 911 Turbo is a real performance juggernaut thanks to its insane levels of cornering grip, powerful brakes, and explosive acceleration. Although the cabriolet versions are a little heavier than the coupe, the Turbo S drop-top is just as exciting.

You’ll need to invest in the Turbo S model to fully unleash the 3.7-liter six-cylinders 640 horsepower. Although the cabriolet with a drop-top is appealing, we’d choose the coupe because of its simplicity of design. Every Turbo S includes 18-way adjustable sport seats, a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bose surround-sound stereo, carbon fiber interior trim, and Porsche’s Sport Chrono package in addition to its incredible power and standard performance enhancements.
