If I'm not mistaken thats the Turbo S , and I think in the U.S. they have the X50 version which is 450bhp as well, I dont know if they are the same thing but different names for different countries or what...I just know the upgrade is really expensive

lol 30hp causes .4 second drop in 0-60 time? im will to bet that its a hp understatement. and to be clear i understand that it comes with the GT2s turbos and some other fun little elements. in my opinion its worth it, because if u were to redo the engine and get the turbos im willing to bet it would be more than $17,888 porsche is chargin. also its 444hp when i looked at car configutor.

On Vox (auto motor und sport) they said that this model from 0-100 in 3.8 sec!!!

It can't be faster than a GT2! :shock:

With 450Hp, its still weaker than the GT2...not to mention the weight difference!

heres what i found off the porsche website.


The Porsche 911 Turbo will undoubtedly provide a driving experience that is one of the most compelling ever created. The origin of that experience is the proven Porsche philosophy of continuous evolution and refinement; not only in terms of outright performance, but also when it comes to personalization.

On today’s 911 Turbo, the options available include a comprehensive engine upgrade. Key modifications include larger compressor and turbine units together with uprated intercoolers and an increase in boost pressure from 0.8 to 0.9 bar. The finished product is a jump in outright power from 415 to 444 hp.
Maximum torque is raised to a remarkable 457 lb-ft, enabling rapid acceleration and enhanced flexibility over the entire engine speed range.

Given the extensive nature of the modifications to the engine and gearbox, this particular package is only available as a factory installed option.
