If you were skeptical about just home impressive the new 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S’s straight-line performance is, we have the video for you. Sure, beating a lowly hot hatchback in a drag race is great, but the team at Carfection has an even better plan to test the 992 911 Turbo S. Drag race the track-oriented McLaren 600LT supercar. We liked this plan a lot and sat down to watch the ensuing carnage.
The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S is one of the most impressive new cars on sale today. Powered by a 3.8-liter flat-6 that develops 640 horsepower (477 kW) and 590 lb-ft (619 nm)of torque, the 911 Turbo S can match the performance of just about any car on the planet. This superb engine is mated to Porsche’s lightning-fast 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission which allows this impressive 911 to use all of the boosted flat-6’s power.
