Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Porsche 911 Turbo’s delivery of speed is nothing short of freaky fast. Its all-wheel-drive launches are courtesy of a standard 573-hp 3.7-liter flat-six or a 640-hp version for Turbo S models. It’s among the quickest cars we’ve ever tested, getting to 30 mph in 0.8 seconds, to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds, and through a quarter-mile in just 9.9 seconds at 138 mph. Its rocket-like acceleration is undergirded by its ability to swallow corners in whole gulps thanks to its near-magical handling, amazing steering feel, and a huge amount of grip. Although the 911 Turbo doesn’t offer a manual transmission, the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is quicker and smarter than us anyway. More time with both hands at the wheel is a good idea with power like this. While we love the rear-drive 473-hp 911 with a manual transmission, that doesn’t mean we’d ever say no to the quicker and more firmly-sprung 911 Turbo and Turbo S.
