The New Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2): The Ultimate Driver’s Thrill

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S 992.2 builds on one of motoring's most recognisable names with even greater focus, precision and capability. It’s designed for those who value performance and engineering excellence, offering an engaging, responsive drive that feels equally composed on a fast B-road, an open motorway or the occasional track day. With outstanding grip, finely tuned balance and trademark Turbo confidence, this new generation continues to set the standard for Porsche’s flagship sports car.
Unmatched Performance
Porsche has never been afraid to innovate. The latest Turbo S takes another step forward with its mild-hybrid T-Hybrid system. At its core is a 3.6L 6-cylinder engine paired with an electric turbocharger and compact motor, producing an impressive 711hp and 800 Nm of torque.
The result is effortless power delivery and instant throttle response, with 0–62 mph achieved in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of around 200 mph. While those numbers speak volumes, it’s the car’s composure and balance that truly stand out, traits that shine on the UK’s winding roads, where precision and predictability matter as much as outright speed.
Sharp Engineering
The hybrid system in the 992.2 Turbo S isn’t designed for silent running; it’s engineered to enhance every driving moment. The electric motor fills the power gap before the turbos spool, creating smooth and immediate acceleration. In fact, it is the fastest acceleration on a Porsche road car. Combined with Porsche’s intelligent all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and refined eight-speed PDK gearbox, the car feels alert and connected in every situation.
Revised aerodynamics, including active cooling flaps and a redesigned rear diffuser, improve airflow and stability at speed, while larger ceramic composite brakes and wider rear tyres enhance braking performance and cornering grip. Every component feels meticulously calibrated to deliver confidence and control.
Designed for Real-World Use
Despite its incredible performance, the Turbo S remains practical and comfortable enough for longer journeys. The interior combines craftsmanship with technology, supportive sports seats, premium materials and a digital driver display all come together to create an environment that’s both focused and luxurious. Plus, there's a no-cost option for rear seats available.
Porsche’s latest infotainment system and improved ergonomics ensure the cabin feels intuitive and usable, while the build quality reinforces its reputation for durability and refinement. It’s a car that feels special to drive yet capable of everyday comfort.
What UK Buyers Need To Know
For UK buyers, the Turbo S blends performance with practicality in a way few cars can. Fuel economy sits around 24 mpg and while CO₂ emissions above 260 g/km result in higher road tax, strong residual values help offset long-term ownership costs. With prices starting close to £200,000, it’s a considerable investment, but one that comes with enduring appeal and proven reliability.
Whether it’s tackling twisting Scottish routes or heading south for a weekend drive through the Cotswolds, the Turbo S delivers a driving experience that feels perfectly suited to British roads.
Distinctive Styling
The 992.2 Turbo S retains the unmistakable 911 shape, now refined with sharper, more athletic details. Updated LED headlights, a cleaner rear light bar and wider arches give it a purposeful stance. Optional carbon-fibre touches, lightweight forged wheels and bespoke colour choices via Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur allow for further personalisation.
Inside, owners can choose from a wide range of finishes, from smooth leather and Alcantara to carbon inserts and contrasting stitching, ensuring every Turbo S feels distinctly personal.
Why It Matters for UK Enthusiasts
For British enthusiasts, the Turbo S continues to represent the pinnacle of Porsche performance. It’s fast, capable and beautifully balanced, a car that delivers genuine excitement without losing refinement. It’s a machine to enjoy on the road, appreciate in the garage and rely on for years to come.
The Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2) isn’t about spectacle, it’s about substance. Combining cutting-edge hybrid technology, timeless design and incredible precision, it remains one of the most complete and rewarding performance cars available today.
For those who live for driving and demand the absolute best, the new Turbo S is not simply transportation, it’s a thrill, an occasion and a legend reborn. If you’re looking for a Porsche 911, we have a range of options available here at Saxtons.
