The 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo S was introduced alongside the 911 Turbo 40 years after the prototype of the 911, named 901, was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Since the first generation of the Turbo version, customers have asked for something more. Then, the Turbo S was introduced on the market with more power and amenities both for the interior and the technical platform.

The Turbo version was considered the 911 flagship ever since 1974 when it was introduced. Over time, quicker and faster versions of the 911 were developed. But the Turbo remained the best balance between sport and luxury. It started as a true, hard-core, sports-car, but it ended up as a better GT. The Turbo S version came to tilt the balance in favor of the sportiness. In the front, the Turbo S was distinguished by standard LED headlights and the integrated turn-signals in the daytime running light cluster.

Inside, the front Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with power 18-way adjustments were fitted as standard. They featured a memory package with electric steering column adjustments. The sport steering wheel was fitted with paddle shifters for the standard 7-speed automatic PDK (dual-clutch) gearbox. In the five-dials instrument cluster, the right one was a 4.6” high-resolution color display. The PCM (Porsche Communication Management) audio featured a twelve speaker Bose Surround System, including a 100 W active subwoofer.

The drivetrain for the Turbo S offered a 3.8-liter flat-six engine with direct fuel injection that offered 560 hp (40 hp more than the Turbo). It was aided by a pair of turbochargers with variable geometry. For better speed cornering, the car was fitted as standard with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), ceramic brakes, and all-wheel steering.
