We are less than a day from Porsche, which unveils the all-new 911 Turbo S. However, our spy photographers continue to capture the test vehicles of the Turbo S still on the move. The latest photos show the 911 Turbo S in winter testing and, like some test vehicles spied on earlier, this Turbo S also sports a duck tail spoiler. It’s still a surprising sight – Porsche put a similar spoiler on the 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic – but that raises more questions than it answers.
The fact that we saw 911 Turbo S test vehicles with active rear fenders is overwhelming. The duck spoilers spied on on the various Turbo S test vehicles appear to be stationary. Then there is the teaser photo of the Porsche 911 Turbo S from last week which showed the silhouette of the new car with an active rear spoiler sitting above the high light. There is no duck spoiler that we can see.
It’s unclear what the duck-tailed 911 Turbo S is supposed to preview. There could however be a new series of limited edition Sport Classic models based on the Turbo S. Porsche based on the previous 911 Sport Classic on the Carrera S. The German car manufacturer could also prepare an even hotter 911 Turbo RS. There are simply too many questions and not enough answers from Porsche, although we did not expect Porsche to sit down to discuss future products before it is ready.
Whatever Porsche’s plans for the duck-tailed 911 Turbo S, it should not lack power. The new 911 Turbo S should get a significant increase in power – 580 horsepower (433 kilowatts) to 640 hp (447 kW). However, the final power figures are not finalized. Torque should see a similar increase – 553 pound-feet (750 Newton meters) to 590 pound-feet (800 Nm). Its power will be an updated version of Porsche’s 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat six-cylinder engine, which will transmit power via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to all four wheels.
