2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine. - Meanwhile some rumors told that 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S release date will be in late this year. Set to go on sale here by the end of the year, the new 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo will start at $149,250 while the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S opens at $182,050. We promise that we will update soon after Porsche announces 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S release date.
2014 Toyota Tacoma Exterior
To keep them looking the part, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S feature unique exterior tweaks, the most prominent being significantly wider rear body panels that stretch an additional 1.1 inches beyond the dimensions of those used on the “widebody” Carrera4. The T-cars also boast large air intakes ahead and aft of the rear wheels, dual-paired exhaust outlets and 20-inch forged alloy wheels with a center-lock design on the Turbo S. This hotter variant also comes with full-LED headlights, four-point daytime running lights and camera-based high/low beam control, all of which are optional on the 911 Turbo. For the first time, the 911 Turbo set will be fitted with an active aerodynamics system. It pairs a pneumatically adjustable front spoiler with an adjustable rear wing; both of which offer three different settings that can significantly increase high-speed downforce at both axles.
At first glance, the 991 2014 911 Turbo doesnt appear to be that big of an improvement over the 997. Output from the 3.8-liter twin turbo flat-six goes up by 20 hp and 7 lb-ft to 520 and 487, respectively. The Turbo S gets a 30-hp bump to 560 from the 997s 530, but torque is unchanged at 516 lb-ft. Curb weight of both remains at slightly over 3500 pounds, with the Turbo S closer to 3550 pounds. One big powertrain change is the departure of the manual transmission, with all 2014 911 Turbos offered exclusively with Porsches seven-speed PDK twin-clutch automatic. Purists may balk, but even the most skilled drivers will be hard-pressed to hit the claimed 0-60 marks of 3.2 seconds (Turbo) and 2.7 seconds (Turbo S) without the PDKs lightning-quick shifts.
2014 Toyota Tacoma Interior
Inside, the 2014 911 Turbo and Turbo S are packed with the usual high-end goodies found in modern Porsches. New to the extensive option list, however, are a Burmester audio system, active cruise control, road sign recognition, speed limit recognition, and others. The Turbo S also comes standard with 18 way power adjustable Sport Seats Plus as well as an exclusive red/black interior color scheme.
Handling performance should increase as well, with the 2014s fitted with active aerodynamics (a three-stage front spoiler and deployable rear wing with three positions), rear-wheel steering, and the new Porsche Traction Management all-wheel-drive system, which can send more power to the front wheels than before. The 991s also get bigger brakes, with 15-inch disks at all four corners standard on both, while the optional ceramic brakes replace those with 16.1-inch rotors up front and 15.4-inch rotors in the back. Calipers are four-piston monoblock units on the Turbo and six-piston on the Turbo S. To make the wheels fit over these massive stopping platters, Porsche upped the wheel size from 19 to 20 inches. These two-town forged aluminum units come with a center hub wheel lock design on the Turbo S. Front tires now measure 245/35ZR20 in the front and 305/30ZR20 at the rear.

It pairs a pneumatically adjustable front spoiler with an adjustable rear wing; both of which offer three different settings that can significantly increase high-speed downforce at both axles.
The Turbo and Turbo S continue to be propelled by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with different outputs, both of which increase for 2014. In the Turbo, horsepower notches up from 500 to 520, while torque increases by 7 lb-ft to 487. (The optional Sport Chrono package brings a temporary overboost function that bumps torque by 37 lb-ft for short bursts.) The Turbo S sees an even greater horsepower increase, from 530 to 560, but makes the same 516 lb-ft of torque as last year; the Sport Chrono gear and overboost function is standard on the S.
Thanks to the increase in power and front-axle participation, Porsche’s claimed acceleration figures for the 2014 Turbo and Turbo S undercut those of the already quick 2013 models. Standard Turbos will hit 60 mph in a claimed 3.4 seconds, with the optional Sport Chrono package shaving another two tenths of a second from that time. Porsche says the Turbo S, with its standard Sport Chrono kit, does the deed in just 2.9 ticks. If those numbers don’t have you giddy yet, keep in mind that Porsche’s factory performance estimates are typically conservative; for example, we cracked off an eye-widening 2.7-second 0–60 time with a previous-gen Turbo S in a comparison test. So the new one could be even quicker. Top speed is a claimed 196 mph for the Turbo and 198 mph for the Turbo S.
