Here's Why This 992 Carrera S Is A Budget Turbo S In Disguise

Here's a hack that will help unlock big performance from your 992 Carrera S, without breaking the bank

The Carrera S sits between the Carrera and the Carrera GTS

The 911 Carrera S is not yet announced for 2025, but you can buy pre-configured models of the 992.1 gen from your nearest Porsche dealership

The 992.1 Carrera S packs a punch from its turbo flat-six

Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six produces 443 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque

The Carrera S can do naught to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds

For a rear-wheel drive sports car, that's pretty impressive. It can also clock 191 mph on the speedo without any hiccups

PDK or manual? Choose wisely!

The 992.1 Carrera S features an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK as standard, but you can opt for the 7-speed manual gearbox for a more vivid driving experience

If you're looking for more oomph from your Carrera S, the aftermarket has plenty of options

The owner of the Carrera S added a Stage 2 piggyback tune from M-Engineering which jumped power from 443 to close to 600 hp, which is near Turbo S power!

We expect at least 500 lb-ft of torque from the flat-six after the tune

Since the Stage 1 M-Engineering tune boosts torque from 390 lb-ft to 475, it's safe to say that the Stage 2 will add close to a 100 lb-ft than the stock number

An aftermarket exhaust system adds more character to the Carrera S sound profile

The owner swapped the factory exhaust system with a Kline exhaust with sports cats, which makes the flat-six sound even more fruitier
