2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S review | evo DIARIES
A little tease of sorts... Not an apples to apples competitor to M4, but it is still fruit...

I'm very interested to see if Porsche has solved the intake valve/carbon issue seen on so many DI turbos. Here's an interesting article about the new engine...

 Awesome color, looks and sounds like a 911... what happened to the nifty center exhaust of the mules that were floating around?

My ex-wife also enjoyed turquoise as a color, so it would knock it off the list for me. That is the sport exhaust... It's an option that, along with the dual pipes, and a button on the dash to manually activate it (it is also activated by selecting SPORT PLUS), it adds solenoids to bypass some baffles, and tells the ECU to throw a little extra fuel on cutoff to induce cracks and pops. So louder, and sounds like someone is throwing out fireworks behind your car. It's kind of juvenile, but fun! B. Last edited by bueller; 11-14-2015 at 11:17 PM.. |

Good god that sounds phenomenal! Porsche and Merc seem to know how to tune a nice sounding turbo motor.
From what I've read so far, without getting a chance to drive one, the S model is as fast as the 991.1 turbo and the handling is even better. And considering the 991.1still hasn't been matched in handling this just makes the bar that much higher. Car is gorgeous and that color is stunning. |
