Porsche 911 - Storyboards - page 132

Porsche Club Of America recently showcased a private collection of Porsche RS models spanning several generations

Most of the 33 Porsches in the collection bear the legendary RS badge

Porsche enthusiast and collector Prescott Kelly provides in-depth commentary and historical context for each car

The collection represents a timeline of Porsche's pursuit of performance, starting with the iconic 1973 Carrera RS 2.7

It culminates with a modern 992.1 GT3 RS and GT2 RS Clubsport 25

Other standout models include the 1964 Carrera RS, 1973 RS Touring, and 1992 Carrera RS variants

The collection also features several modern RS models, including the 997 GT2 RS, 997 GT3 RS 4.0

The 1996 993 GT2 is a particular highlight, showcasing the wide-body design and performance capabilities of the air-cooled era

This stunning Rothmans-livery 911 Dakar was an odd-ball in this collection dominated by RS-badged 911s

The PCA's virtual tour offers a unique opportunity to explore this extraordinary collection

The in-depth video is a must-watch for enthusiasts and those interested in the evolution of track-focused lightweight 911s

Can the 68-horsepower difference justify a $33,000+ difference?

Well, that's what we're about to find out as we stack the 992.1 Turbo Vs. its more powerful Turbo S variant

The Turbo S is marginally quicker in real life, sprinting to 60 mph in as little as 2.1 seconds (with the Lightweight package)

The regular 992 Turbo's 572 horsepower is good for a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time

Under the skin, the 992 Turbo and Turbo S feature very minor differences

The 3.75-liter flat-six is virtually identical in the Turbo and Turbo S models

However, different software and slightly bigger turbine wheels make the difference in horsepower

The 992 Turbo features 59mm turbochargers

While the Turbo S turbochargers feature 61 mm turbine wheels

The upcoming 992.2 Turbo will feature a more powerful version of the T-Hybrid system

The 992.2 Turbo S has a predicted power rating of around 710 horsepower

As the automotive industry transitions towards electrification, Porsche, like many other automakers, is expanding its electric model lineup

Despite the eventual transition to fully electric vehicles, the 911, Porsche's flagship sports car, is likely to be the last model in the lineup to adopt electric power

But the T-Hybrid system introduced in the 992.2 Carrera 4 GTS, serves as a strategic move to extend the life of internal combustion engines in Porsche's iconic 911 model

The Porsche 911 has long been synonymous with powerful engines and a rear-engine layout

Recent hints from Porsche's Chief Designer, Michael Mauer, have sparked speculation about a smaller, more agile 911

While the idea of a smaller 911 might seem counterintuitive at first, there are compelling arguments in favor of such a model

A compact version of the car that could potentially accommodate both a smaller displacement combustion engine or an all-electric drivetrain

Porsche could repurpose the smaller 2.0-liter engine from the Boxster and Cayman, which will be replaced by an all-electric model

Alternatively, the smaller platform could serve as the basis for an all-electric drivetrain, utilizing advanced technologies like solid-state batteries and lightweight motors

A smaller, lighter engine paired with a lighter chassis could result in a more agile and responsive driving experience, something that's missing in most modern 911s

While the prospect of a smaller 911 raises concerns about preserving the iconic flat-six engine that has long defined the 911, the brand could draw inspiration from the 912,

A compact 911 could appeal to a broader demographic, including those seeking a more affordable entry point into the Porsche brand

While Michael Mauer has expressed his desire for an electric 911, it is clear that such a model is still some time away.

But hopefully, Porsche is able to execute his vision of a true, compact modern-day 911 sportscar.

The Lamborghini Temerario is the first V-8-powered Lamborghini sportscar since the Jalpa

The Revuelto's 3 e-motors can also be found here, assisting a flat-plane V-8 that revs to 10,000 RPM

Instead of throwing massive power, Porsche engineers plan to utilize the T-Hybrid powertrain to its full potential

The upcoming 992.2 Turbo S will utilize a more powerful version of the 992.2 Carrera 4 GTS powertrain

With the 992.2 GTS outperforming the current 992.1 Turbo S around the Nordschleife, the 992.2 Turbo S hybrid will likely pack around a combined 710 hp

With the T-Hybrid setup, a 992.2 Turbo S would weigh around the same as the Lamborghini Temererio's 3,725 lbs

The Temererio's hybrid power allows for a 2.6-second 0-60 mph time

Even the current Turbo S can, reportedly hit 60 mph in as little as 2.2 seconds

Also, unlike Lamborghini, Porsche is conservative in reporting its performance numbers

Meanwhile, the upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo range is also about to adopt hybrid tech
