From Car and Driver

  • The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S achieved a 2.2-second zero-to-60-mph time in Car and Driver testing.

  • It also raced through the quarter-mile in 10.1 seconds at 137 mph.

  • The 992-generation Turbo S is powered by a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six that produces 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.

UPDATE 11/24/20: After recalculating the test numbers from our test of the 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Peformante to include the industry standard 1-foot rollout, the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S ties the Lamborghini to 60 mph in 2.2 seconds.

Porsche's performance claims are frequently modest. When they unveiled the 2021 911 Turbo S, the German automaker boasted a 2.6-second sprint to 60 mph and said it would blast through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds. In the old Turbo S, we achieved a 2.6-second run to 60 mph, 0.2 second ahead of Porsche's initial claim, but this time, in the new car, we shed off four-tenths of a second, reaching 60 mph in the 992-generation 911 Turbo S in a blisteringly quick 2.2 seconds.
