The four videos of the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which will be presented at the 2010 Geneva motor show, take up the themes of performance, personality, responsibility and history. The last theme continues Porsche’s 60 year history videos of the Panamera, and retraces the history of the model from its birth in 1993 with the Turbo S based on the Porsche 964.

The current Turbo S will be the top range turbo for Porsche with its 3.8 twin turbo engine at 530 hp and 700 Nm of torque. Direct injection guarantees low fuel consumption achieving 9 km for every litre. We put the performance video first, but see the other three 911 Turbo S videos after the jump.

The first pics of the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S have been released, showing the most powerful 911 Turbo built so far. It will have its official debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March, before sales start in May. Previous versions of the 993 and 996 have used the Turbo S badge in limited production versions, but this time it will be a permanent addition at the top of the range for the last years of the 997.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is equipped with the twin-turbo, 3.8-litre flat six engine, with 523 hp. That’s increase from 493 hp, and the torque output is now a huge 700 Nm. Impressively, this 911 Turbo S respects Euro 6 anti-pollution norms and Porsche claims an 8.8 km run on one litre of fuel. Other performance features include acceleration to 100 km/hr in just 3.3 seconds and top speed is 325 km/hr.

The new 911 turbo model is equipped with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox (thankfully with steering wheel paddles) and traction management system. Included is also Porsche’s Torque Vectoring System with limited-slip differential. The Sport Chrono chassis package also provides launch control and dynamic engine mounts. Optional features on other Porsche models appear as standard here, with ceramic brakes, sport seats and 19-inch RS Spyder alloys also included. Prices will start at 173,241 euros for the coupe model and 184,546 euros for the cabrio.

The Porsche Panamera is better than a Mercedes S-Class and Bentley Continental, and is just like driving the sedan version of the Porsche 911 Turbo, according to Fifth Gear. I must say, this Panamera Turbo is very sexy in white and being a girl myself, I’m quite jealous that Vicky gets to take a spin. The handling is lovely, the speed and power impressive for a car of this size and weight, and overall, it’s far more exciting than you’d expect from any other luxury sedan. “Sexy”, “super-racy” and “super-quick” and at 500 hp, you’d believe all of that, too. If I was very very rich, with a couple of kids, I think I would just about purchase this…

After the GT9-R and its 1,120 hp, the German tuner 9ff has hit the mark again, producing the fastest Porsche in the world with 1000 hp and 1040 Nm of torque. It has reached a top speed of 391 km/hr at the Papenburg testing circuit in Germany.

The flat six engine of the 911 has larger turbochargers, sport camshafts, a sport air filter, revised ECU and high performance exhaust system to create the TR-1000. 9ff reckon they could beat that top speed record again, exceeding 400 km/hr with the right aerodynamic kit.

Acceleration times are: 0-100 km/h in 3.2 sec, 100-200 km/h in 4.8 sec, 200-300 km/h in 8 sec and finally 300-360 km/h in 16 seconds. Other modifications to keep the TR 1000 stable include a splitter, changes to the side skirts, a rear wing and some adjustments to the suspension. It also has high performance brakes and aluminium dampers.

The modifications to the 911 Turbo cost about 130,000 euros and have apparently been done for the girlfriend of a Greek millionaire. Here’s hoping she can drive. Check out the 9ff GT9-R as well for some more serious Porsche tuning.

Autocar has tested the new Porsche 911 Turbo, taking the twin turbo, 3.8-litre boxer engine with 500 hp for a track spin and a ride around English country roads. This particular Porsche has the new PDK twin-clutch transmission and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) rear differential.

Apart from having a shot at the “silly” buttons for the gear change, new steering wheel paddles are an option that will cost you extra, but that are worth the expense, it seems. One of the most impressive things of the new 911 turbo is the gearbox, fast and smooth, making this a very driveable road sports car.

Steering is vastly improved by new engine mounts which eliminate the unstable swaying feeling of fast cornering. But most of all, it’s the torque and speed that the 911 turbo has at its disposition. Full torque is available at just 1950 rpm and in the end there’s nothing to do but wish the other competitors luck.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo track presentation video shows the new Porsche get around the Estoril track in Portugal. I love the fact that the video cuts from the dash without the driver’s seatbelt on, to the car pulling away. We can’t get enough of the Porsche 911 Turbo and in case you can’t either, check out the video.

Porsche has released new images of the 911 Turbo restyling, and you can see it in more detail in the 911 Turbo video from the head of the R&D division. The Porsche 911 Turbo also, more attractively, recently completed the Nurburgring in 7’39”. The Turbo 911 will go on sale from the end of this year, with prices at 149,282 euros for the coupe and 160,562 euros for the cabrio.

Porsche gives us a close-up tour of its new 911 Turbo in this video, where you can see the 3.9-litre engine up close. It delivers 500 hp and 650 Nm of torque in what Wolfgang Durheimer from the R&D division describes as the highlight in the Porsche model range. If you’re interested in the engine technology, this is a video to watch.

It also gives us an idea of performance, efficiency and weight reduction for driving dynamics (the rear wheels alone save two kilograms each of weight). The new 911 Turbo is definitely one very sweet package from Porsche, with everything we like best about smart and sensible German sportscar technology. Whether you drive it sensibly is up to you and that’s the beauty of it.

A new video of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic shows the design concepts in greater detail, from the front apron, to the modern interpretation of the wheel style and the new interior. It is intended for collectors only, and is described as a “concept car you can buy”. Before the Sport Classic close-up we see a 911 Turbo cabriolet driving the wet roads of Germany.

From the 911 Sport Classic to the 911 Turbo and GT3 RS, the Porsche stand at the Frankfurt motor show had so much on display we hardly knew where to look. New Porsche president Michael Macht made the presentation to the press, with plenty of space dedicated to the Panamera as well.

The 911 Turbo coupe and cabrio were on show, equipped with the new 3.8-litre twin turbo engine with direct injection and 500 hp. PDK transmission is included with the welcome modification of steering wheel paddles and program options of Sport, Sport Plus and Launch Control indicated. New features such as Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) have also been developed. The 911 Turbo can be recognised by the new titanium air intakes on the front bumper, LED lights, larger exhaust and new alloy wheels.

The 911 GT3 RS with the 3.8-litre was also presented, along with the GT3 Cup 2010 and the 911 Sport Classic. The GT3 RS has 15 hp more than the GT3, taking total power to 450 hp, thanks to modifications to the air intake system and a lighter weight of 1,370 kg. It has a new aerodynamic kit, lighter door panelling, roll bar, titanium exhaust, PASM electronic suspension system, Porsche Stability Management system and new alloy wheels. Maximum torque is 430 Nm at 6,750 rpm and the GT3 RS is only available with manual gearbox.

In addition to all this, from 2010, Porsche is introducing new optionals, in the form of a lithium ion battery for track use, which reduces weight by ten kilograms compared to the conventional lead battery. Front tyre mechanisms also allow for raising the wheelbase and a larger fuel tank of 90 litres is also available. For the real die-hard sports fans, you can forego air conditioning and the radio and while Porsche has a luxury name in terms of cup holders, get the Panamera. You won’t find any of them on the GT3 RS.
