Porsche 911 Turbo S is more powerful than ever

August 10, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S is one of the most powerful models of the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world. However, the G-Power company believes that this car can do much more, so they have prepared a special equipment kit that makes the car more aggressive.

First of all, G-Power engineers did what they know best, increased the power of the engine. Now the 3.7L twin-turbo flat-six engine delivers 800 hp (588 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque, which is more than enough to push this powerful car to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 5 seconds. In order to withstand the increase in power, the German tuner equipped the 911 Turbo S with a new GP radiator, carbon fiber rear wing, improved exhaust system, carbon fiber hood. Buyers will be able to choose between 21- and 22-inch GP Orange Hurricane RR and Hurricane RS lightweight aluminum wheels wrapped in 255/39 (front) and 335/25 (rear) tires.

Inside, the comfortable seats are upholstered in black leather with contrasting green stitching. The same combination can be seen on the door panels, steering wheel and dashboard.

The standard Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

Porsche 911 Turbo S with a tent on the roof

August 4, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

We are used to seeing Porsche cars with various modifications and accessories, but some of them are really unusual. Namely, a picture of a Porsche 911 Turbo S with a tent on the roof was recently published on the Facebook group “Live from Greece”.

The car, with German license plates, was parked under the pine branches near the sea, and the group members left many humorous comments, but there were also those who admired the car owner: “A tourist who likes to enjoy nature.” Some remembered camping from the 80s when it was popular along the entire Mediterranean coast.

Obviously, although the owner has an expensive car and can certainly afford a good hotel, he still decided to enjoy it in a better way – in nature.

The 2012 Porsche 911 (997) Turbo S is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine with 530 hp (390 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed PDK gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (313 km/h). It sits on a set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in 235/35ZR-19 (front) and 305/30ZR-19 (rear) tires.

The Singer Porsche 911 story has come to an end

August 1, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

Since 2010, the California-based company, Singer Vehicle Design, has so far offered wealthy customers around the world restored and modified Porsche models. Now after more than a decade the story has come to an end. Singer Vehicle Design has officially announced that it is no longer accepting orders for restomod Porsche 911 (964).

In its 12 years of operation, Singer has successfully realized 450 projects based on the 911 (964) model. Singer CEO Rob Dickinson has stated that Singer Vehicle Design will no longer offer restomod 911s from the 964 Series, despite the fact that there are still many of these cars on the market that would make an excellent basis for Singer’s method of restoration/modification. Dickinson also said that 12 years ago, no one at Singer thought they would end up selling 450 examples of a car that costs around $1 million.

The Porsche 911 restomod is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 390 hp (287 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph in just over 3 seconds. The engine is paired with a five-speed or six-speed manual transmission.

The company said that they are preparing for a new chapter, the Turbo Study, which was recently announced by the 911 model, whose appearance is clearly reminiscent of the first Porsche 911 Turbo that was presented in 1975.
