Auto123 takes a first drive in the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S.

In the Porsche mindset, racing is never far away and that always influences the design of the company’s production models. In 1974, the Zuffenhausen-based manufacturer finished second at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with its 911 Carrera RSR powered for the first time by a turbocharged engine. The following year, the brand launched the very first 911 Turbo, better known as the 930, which immediately became the world's fastest production car.

After twenty years and eleven victories at Le Mans with turbocharged cars, Porsche launched the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo. This now-highly sought-after type 993 variant would mark the pinnacle of the 911's air-cooled engine and take it to a new level in terms of performance, handling and versatility.

Three complete generations (996, 997, 991) and a quarter-century later, Porsche now presents an eighth edition of the 911 Turbo, now built on the architecture of the type 992 that was launched last year. First up to bat are the coupe and convertible versions of the Turbo S, still the range’s most powerful iteration; it should debut in the spring of 2021. The 'regular' Turbo will come later, with a slightly more modest cavalry.
