Porsche 911 Turbo S and Taycan Turbo S improved by Brabus

The company known worldwide for tuning Mercedes-AMG models has presented special editions of Porsche models Taycan Turbo S and 911 Turbo S, Brabus 820. These are models whose performance has been raised to a higher level by Brabus engineers.

First of all, the power of the Porsche 911 Turbo S in the coupe and convertible edition has been increased. So now the entry model is powered by a 3.8L 6-cylinder engine with 720 hp (530 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, which is a significant increase over the standard 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. However, if that’s not enough, Brabus has remapped the ECU by increasing power to an impressive 820 hp and 950 hp. The car is mounted on 21 and 22-inch wheels, and Brabus offers a choice of carbon components with a matte finish or high gloss.

In order to withstand the increase in power, the cars have also undergone certain visual improvements. There is first and foremost a new front end that reduces front axle lift without affecting active aerodynamics, while the rear end features a large inconel diffuser with four 100mm exhaust pipes. When it comes to the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, there is a front splitter as well as a three-piece rear spoiler and diffuser.

The car also came with an adaptive air suspension to lower the electric Porsche by 20 mm. Inside, there are some unique details such as aluminum pedals and branded sill plates and carbon details. It is mounted on 10-spoke 22-inch wheels.
