Porsche unveils non-S 911 Turbo with 580hpLess potent model could answer the needs of those finding the 650hp Turbo S too wild to drive. Designed to slot beneath the Turbo S, the new Turbo uses the same 3.7-litre twin-turbo flat-six as in its bigger brother but generates slightly less power and torque for the sake of market positioning. The Turbo makes 580hp and 750Nm against the 650hp and 800Nm outputs achieved in the Turbo S. As a result, the Turbo goes from 0-100kph in 2.8sec, 0.1sec slower than the Turbo S.The 991-generation model, on the other hand, has 40hp and 40Nm less than the new Turbo. Visually, the Turbo is hard to differentiate from the Turbo S as various parts are now largely interchangeable on both the marketing and after-sales sides. The 911 story so far:Carrera – 385hp 3.0-litre; 0-100kph 4.2secCarrera S – 450hp 3.0-litre; 3.7secTurbo – 580hp 3.7-litre; 2.8secTurbo S – 650hp 3.7-litre; 2.7sec
