2024 Porsche 911 Turbo
Starting at $
Highs: One of the quickest cars we’ve ever tested, sticky tires provide lots of grip, luxurious and well-built cabin.
Lows: It costs a pretty penny, there’s no manual transmission offered, the ride can be stiff on rough roads.
Verdict: The 911 Turbo may look like other versions of Porsche’s iconic sports car, but its ballistic performance puts it the same stratosphere as supercars from Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Overview
To the untrained eye, the Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S don’t look that special, sporting the same curvaceous styling as every other Porsche coupe to bear those iconic three digits. But packed into the tail end of the Turbo and Turbo S models is a potent twin-turbo flat-six, pumping out 572 horsepower in the former and a whopping 640 ponies in the latter variant. That punchy powertrain saw the Turbo S become one of the quickest cars we’ve ever tested, ripping to 60 mph from a standstill in a mere 2.2 seconds and covering a quarter mile in just 9.9 seconds at 138 mph. But the Turbo models aren’t just about straight-line speed—poised handling, a communicative steering wheel, and grippy tires mean the 911 Turbo is just as adept at blasting down a curvy road as it is launching to ludicrous speeds. While we wish there was an option for a manual transmission, the seemingly clairvoyant eight-speed automatic shifts far quicker than our feet and hands could ever accomplish. Among the field of flashy supercar competition, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S maintain a low profile while still providing mind-bending performance and, of course, the prestigious Porsche badge.
What’s New for 2024?
The 911 Turbo and Turbo S are largely unchanged for 2024, the only updates being the addition of wireless Android Auto capability and native Spotify integration in the infotainment system.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Turbo Coupe: $198,850

To unlock the entirety of the six-cylinder’s 640 horsepower, you’ll need to spring for the Turbo S model. While the drop-top cabriolet version is enticing, we’d take the coupe for its purity of purpose. In addition to its tremendous power and standard performance upgrades, every Turbo S comes with 18-way adjustable sport seats, touchscreen infotainment system, Bose surround-sound stereo, carbon-fiber interior trim, and Porsche’s Sport Chrono package.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Hanging out in the rear of both the Turbo and Turbo S is a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that makes up to 640 horsepower in the more powerful of the two variants; the regular Turbo model makes 572 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard, and shifts are handled by an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Porsche claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S, but at our test track it blasted to 60 in just 2.2 seconds. These acceleration times grew even quicker during our test with the 911 Turbo S Lightweight: 60 mph arrived in just 2.1 seconds and it blasted to the quarter-mile mark in 9.9 seconds at 138 mph—a perk of weighing just 3557 pounds, 89 less than before. Aside from the explosive acceleration, the 911 Turbo exhibits insane levels of cornering grip and strong brakes, making it a true performance powerhouse. The cabriolet variants are slightly heavier than the coupe, but the drop-top Turbo S we drove proved equally thrilling.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
As with all 911 models, the Turbo and Turbo S are technically four-seaters, although the rear seats aren’t usable by adults. The cabin mirrors that of the entry-level 911 Carrera models but with racier trim, more expensive options, and plenty of standard technology features such as a reconfigurable digital gauge display. The 911 comes with a front trunk which holds two carry-on suitcases and the rear-seat backs fold forward to create a large flat cargo area in the coupe model; in our testing, we were able to fit six carry-on cases behind the front seats.
