We’ve seen Turbo S versions of Porsche’s flagship 911 the last 2 model cycles and even a 944 Turbo S towards the end of it’s production run. That leads me (among many other people) to believe that Porsche will be giving us new fodder for our dream car wish lists sometime soon.
Many around the Net as well as on popular luxury toy forum Team Speed believe it’s going to be for the 2010 model year. Of course, everything is speculation at this point, but here’s what seems to be the best of the best in people’s minds:
- 540 to 550 hp
- Standard ceramic brakes
- RS-style center lock wheels
- Some type of unique bodywork…such as more side rakes (strakes)
- Release Date: Spring 2010
Regardless, I love the speculation and adding a 911 Turbo S to my wish list would suit me just fine.

if the turbo is coming out in the spring, I’m surprised how well guarded a secret the details are.
Random question for any PCA members – do you get the “Porsche Design Driver’s Selection” Catalog in the mail every year, or is it just my local chapter? We all get it in the mail, just wondering if it’s unique to us, or if everyone gets it by becoming a member anywhere in the U.S.
If you don’t get it, find a way to get on the mailing list, there’s some pretty funky stuff in there
Ruthless, are you talking about the one that just came? If so, I got one.
That would be one sweet car and I can’t wait to see what they decide to do with the car.
WOW! sweet!!, That horsepower is about where the GT 2 is at now…Does that (GT 2) get bumped up or does the Turbo S become the new king of HP on the totem pole in the catalog?….assuming this gets the nod to go! …Ok new wish list being scribbled out now!
Ryan – yes, I’m just trying to figure out if it’s from my Porsche Club Membership or some other list…I actually got 2 of them today. Did we get on that list thru this site? Not complaining, just wondering.
@Ruthless – Nope, that didn’t come from us. We simply don’t EVER share email addresses given to us for any reason. I’m guessing that came from the PCA membership. I’m pretty sure that’s where mine came from. You get the cool GT3 “package”?
You guys sound like my sister when she used to get her new copy of Seventeen magazine.
Ruthless, what model Porsche do you have? You have to be an owner to join PCA right?

I was searching a Video of Porsche 911 turbo but I haven’t found something like this video on Clipta.com. Video is so descriptive and useful video about the features of Porsche 911 turbo.
