Our spy photographers caught the new 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S roaming the frosty roads of Sweden, this time in convertible form [Update 03/20/2020]
Porsche was spotted finalizing the last details on the 2020 911 Turbo S but since the model has already been revealed, there was no need for any sort of camouflage.
Instead, the test car was finished in a very bright yellow, giving us a first chance to see the new Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe in this color. This could be Porsche’s Signal Yellow paint option but the lighting of the images prevent us from confirming it. The convertible test car is finished in white.
The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a new twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces 641 HP (650 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The unit is actually a development of the Carrera’s 3.0-liter engine and is not related to the previous model’s 3.8-liter lump.

This makes the new 911 Turbo S 70 HP more powerful than its predecessor, as Porsche wanted the new model to be significantly quicker than the 991 Turbo S. Porsche 911 chief engineer Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser confessed so in a recent interview: “If you take a 580 hp car and add another 20 or 30 extra hp, you won’t really feel it. Maybe you can measure it, but the reason for a new Turbo is that you feel something, that you feel a difference…we wanted to really make a step”.
Combined with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a beefed-up all-wheel drive system, the new 911 Turbo S is capable of 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds, 0-120 mph (193 km/h) in 8.9 seconds and of a 205 mph top speed (330 km/h).
That’s some mighty impressive numbers but Porsche has been traditionally conservative with its performance figures, particularly when it comes to 911 Turbos, so don’t act surprised if the new 911 flagship proves to accelerate even quicker on the real world.
The first deliveries of the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S are expected to take place in late 2020, with prices starting from from $203,500 for the Coupe and from $216,300 for the Cabriolet in the US market.
