Porsche Catch Up: 'Turbo S' Models

Cayenne Turbo S

Say what you want about the Cayenne, but the Turbo S is no joke. It's 550 hp powerplant gives it a top speed of 174 mph and a 0-60 sprint time of 4.7 seconds. A $124,800 base price tag gives it exclusivity and the Porsche badge gives it respect. I give it 2 big thumbs up.


996 Turbo S

I didn't know a Turbo S model existed, so I had just figured the guy bought an 'S' badge on the aftermarket and slapped it on. Nope. Porsche did in fact produce a Turbo S 911 in 2005. I happily stand corrected.

Vitals:
444 hp
3.7 sec. 0-60
197 mph top speed


993 Turbo S

Nor did I know Porsche built a 993 Turbo S either. If 'Turbo' = 10, the 'Turbo S' = 11.
