This Supercar Driver video features a road drive of the Porsche 993 Turbo S through the scenic roads of North Wales, highlighting the final and most powerful air-cooled 911 Turbo. With 450 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six, the Turbo S could reach 60 mph in around 3.7 seconds, performance that remains impressive even by modern standards. Only a few hundred were produced, making it one of the rarest 993 variants.
Visually distinguished by carbon-fiber trim, yellow brake calipers, larger aero components, and unique vents, the Turbo S feels more special than the standard Turbo. Inside, the cabin retains the classic five-gauge layout and analog simplicity, emphasizing driver focus over technology.
On the road, the car delivers strong turbocharged acceleration with noticeable lag before a surge of power. The rear-engine balance requires careful inputs, making it more involving than modern 911s. Despite its age, the performance feels contemporary, blending classic character with genuine speed.
