We drove the new 911 Turbo S at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa.
Since all new 911s are turbocharged, this 911 Turbo S's appeal is in danger of being eroded.
The most important figures are a 0-62mph time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 205mph.
Porsche claims that the Turbo S's acceleration time hit as low as 2.6 seconds when testing.
The revised four-wheel drive system delivers power with even more accuracy than its predecessor.
The Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management system's sport mode keeps the car composed.
Body roll very well controlled, but it can be used to throw the car around corners on road surfaces.
The huge 20-inch wheels and wide tyres ensure a huge amount of grip is available.
The Active Aerodynamics rear wing adds even more grip.
