Porsche 911 Turbo S (992)

Among the 47 cars in the catalogue that use a flat-six engine layout, just 10 combine that layout with AWD. The Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) sits in that narrow intersection, with another distinction: only 18 of the 600 cars pair a flat-six with twin-turbocharging. Its position is defined less by a single headline figure than by how many unusual choices meet in one car.

That combination translates into a place near the sharper end of the catalogue. Its 0-100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds ranks 38th among all 600 cars, faster than 562 of them. The 641 bhp output places it 144th for power, while its 330 km/h top speed ranks 109th. The figures describe a car that does not rely on one exceptional metric alone, but instead brings together acceleration, power and speed in a balanced package.

The mechanical layout explains much of its character within the collection. A 3.7-litre flat-six sits behind the twin-turbocharged aspiration system, producing 800 Nm of torque, with AWD delivering the drivetrain format that places it among a small group in the catalogue. The 2+2 coupe body style keeps that specification connected to a recognisable sports car shape, rather than a purely functional performance machine.

Its position is also reflected in its price. At a used price of £195,000, it ranks 184th among the 600 cars, making it more expensive than 416 catalogue entries. The cost per bhp is £304, a figure that frames the car as a significant investment while showing the relationship between its asking price and its 641 bhp.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) also sits within a broader manufacturer presence, with Porsche represented by 65 cars in the catalogue and Germany contributing 197 cars overall. Its place is therefore not simply about being a Porsche or a German sports car, but about occupying a very specific corner of the collection.

In a dream garage, this is the car that introduces a particular balance: flat-six character, twin-turbocharged performance, AWD capability and measured speed in one entry. The numbers leave a clear impression. It is a 911 Turbo S (992) that asks to be considered not for excess, but for the precision of how its qualities come together.
