2021 Porsche 911 Turbo (overview)

Launching another mighty salvo in the horsepower wars, the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are poised to up the ante with up to 640 horsepower. High-output sports cars such as the 577-hp Mercedes-AMG GT R, the 602-hp Audi R8, and the 631-hp Lamborghini Huracán Evo are all rivals to both 911 Turbos, but none of them come with the same heritage and storied history. With coupe and cabriolet body styles, they offer similar standard and optional equipment as lesser 911 models but are powered by a more powerful twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine located—where else?—in the rear.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

Turbo coupe, $172,150.
Turbo convertible, $184,950.
Turbo S coupe, $204,850.
Turbo S cabriolet, $217,650.

To unlock the entirety of the 3.7-liter six-cylinder's 640 horsepower, you'll need to spring for the Turbo S model. While the drop-top cabriolet version is enticing, we'd take the coupe for its purity of purpose. In addition to its tremendous power and standard performance upgrades, every Turbo S comes with 18-way adjustable sport seats, 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bose surround-sound stereo, carbon-fiber interior trim, and Porsche's Sport Chrono package.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Hanging out in the rear of both the Turbo and Turbo S is a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine that makes up to 640 horsepower in the more powerful of the two variants; the regular Turbo model makes 572 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard and shifts are handled by an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Porsche claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S, but at our test track it blasted to 60 in just 2.2 seconds. Aside from the explosive acceleration, the 911 Turbo exhibits insane levels of cornering grip and strong brakes to boot, making it a true performance powerhouse.

Fuel-economy estimates from the EPA are 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. We haven't been able to perform our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, but we'll update this story with test results when we do.

As with all 911 models, the Turbo and Turbo S are technically be four-seaters, although the rear seats aren't usable by adults. The cabin mirrors that of the entry-level 911 Carrera models but with racier trim, more expensive options, and plenty of standard technology features such as a reconfigurable digital gauge display. The 911 comes with a front trunk which holds two carry-on suitcases and the rear-seat backs fold forward to create a large flat cargo area in the coupe model; in our testing, we were able to fit six carry-on cases behind the front seats.

Infotainment and Connectivity

In addition to digital gauges in front of the driver, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S come standard with the same large touchscreen infotainment system as lesser 911s, complete with Porsche's intuitive software interface. A premium audio system from Bose is standard, and a Burmester stereo is optional, too, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay capability; Android Auto has so far been omitted from the features list for all of Porsche's models.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The 911 Turbo can be ordered with several high-tech driver-assistance features including adaptive cruise control and night vision. For more information about the 911 Turbo's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

Standard automated emergency braking
Available lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
