Porsche has launched the new-gen 992.2 911 Turbo S in India with a price tag of Rs 3.8 crore (ex-showroom, and of course without the personalisation). It’s the most powerful road-going 911 to date and is available in India in the standard Coupe guise but with the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur personalisation scheme. Deliveries are set to commence next year.

Powering it is the 3.6-litre flat-six turbocharged hybrid powertrain like the GTS. But it gains an extra e-turbocharger, resulting in 711bhp and 800Nm. Compared to the outgoing Turbo S, it makes 60bhp more. There’s all-wheel drive to keep all the power in check, and it is channelled through an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic. The claimed 0- 100 kmph time is a staggering 2.5 seconds, and it can clock 0-200 kmph in 8.4 seconds, with a top speed of 322 kmph. What’s more, it has clocked the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife with a lap time of 7:03.92 minutes.

Being a Turbo, the tell-tale sign is the air vent behind the doors on the rear wheel arches. Adding to its drama is the petite spoiler at the back and large 420mm/410mm front/rear carbon ceramic disc brakes, a lightweight sports exhaust system with a titanium muffler. It also wears a central-nut locking 21-inch wheels and active air diffusers. The cabin is new and gets all the new-age creature comforts.
