2018 TurboS Cab
There may be more race-ready 911s that you can buy, but the Porsche
911 Turbo S is still the top dog in a lineup that now consists of
some 20 911 variants. And this 2018 Cabriolet body style not only
allows you to get in touch with nature while you're streaking
around your favorite back roads, but it make sure everyone knows
who's behind the wheel too. Whatever your motivation, you'll find
plenty to love here.
Of course one of our favorite things about any 911, is launch
control. It's equal parts brutality, simplicity, and rocketry;
allowing you to leap off the line no matter where you are, with
maximum effect.
The pure visceral experience starts when you release the brake and
slingshot off the line. All-wheel-drive traction gets you going in
a haste; but prepare to do some quick steering, as depending on
which wheel is getting the most grip, things can get interesting
rapidly too.
60 miles-per-hour arrives in just 2.9-seconds; stupid grins on your
face, even quicker. And it all happens with intake, exhaust, and
engine noises creating a harmony of awesomeness; as the turbo-6
pushes you down the track like a frightened gazelle.
No matter how many times you rip off sub-eleven second � miles, it
never gets old. This 911 Turbo S can do it in 10.8-seconds at 129
miles-per-hour.
After coming down from that adrenaline high, you can appreciate
that all of this happens because of the 580-horsepower and 516
lb-ft. of torque that pours from the 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-6.
Last year saw new turbos added, as well as a Dynamic Boost function
that maintains boost pressure even when you ease off the throttle,
or when the 7-speed PDK triggers a shift.
Amazing brakes are nothing new to 911s or Porsches in general, but
the way these 6-piston calipers grab the ceramic brake discs that
are standard on the S is truly epic. Stops from 60 take just
90-feet.
Top or no top, the look is all classic Porsche; round headlights,
smooth body, wide hips, the whole package. This Turbo S of course,
rides on 20-inch center-lock wheels.
Not surprisingly, top operation is as speedy and efficient as the
rest of the car.
Sitting inside, everything just feels right, with all of the
important stuff falling readily to hand.
?The up-sweeping center console still hosts plenty of physical
buttons. Meanwhile, Porsche's touchscreen interface has steadily
improved...it's now quite intuitive.
Seats have a "business first" feel, with that business being
keeping you in place at high speeds on a road course; yet they are
plenty comfortable for leisurely-long drives through the
countryside.
Government Fuel Economy Ratings are not painful at all for a car
with this much performance; 19-City, 24-Highway, and 21-Combined.
We averaged 22.1 miles-per-gallon of Premium. So that's an only
slightly worse than average Energy Impact Score of 15.7-barrels of
yearly oil use, with CO2 emissions of 7.1-tons.
