While some people consider the 911 Turbo S to be automotive perfection, others might beg to differ, especially if they happen to have a different perspective on supercar ownership.
During the course of this video, Parker from Vehicle Virgins will let you know which are the five things he hates about the Turbo S, a car that in some people’s eyes, represents the pinnacle of the 911 range.
Now, while “hate” is a very strong word, he starts off by complaining about the Turbo S’ engine cover, which does indeed pale in comparison to what you get on a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
His second pet peeve regarding this car is related to the interior, which he thinks looks too much like what you get in something like a Boxster. He follows that up by picking on the exhaust note, the 911 Turbo S’ price (argues that the McLaren 570S and Audi R8 V10 Plus look more exotic), and the overall understated aesthetic of the flagship 911.
Naturally, all of these opinions are debatable. Some people really like the fact that the 911 Turbo S looks understated, and would prefer to focus on its heritage and performance instead of some of the little things that might annoy others.
Besides, the Turbo S remains one of the hardest-launching supercars in the world, falling just shy of matching hypercars such as the 918 Spyder or LaFerrari off the line.
