Pre-production fixture. The final one will not doubt have some aluminium or chrome on it and a much better finish.

Porsche have had a range of NA cars and a higher end Turbo car since the 70s. So down the track what will take the place of the current turbo and turbo s cars in the porsche range?
Will the current carrera and a S become baby turbo cars leaving a place for a another car with bigger mummy turbos and a massive arse?

[JBO]

all turbos except GT3 and GT3 RS
lowest boost/power in basic carrera up to max power/boost in the turbo s (with requisite wide arse).
Rumour is 310kw for Carrera S and close to 450kw for Turbo S.

[JBO]

first details are emerging
Carrera 3.0L turbo 6 with 272kw (torque not known yet)
Carrera S 3.0L turbo 6 (with more boost) 309kw and 500nm
Will be revealed in the coming weeks.

More details

Four wheel steering on Carrera S (as per GT3)
Optional Powerkit for Carrera S from 309 to 331kw
