The Porsche 911 turbo has been the benchmark of performance among GT cars for years. In its most recent (991) generation, the 911 Turbo produces 580hp and 516lb-ft of torque from its 3.8L twin turbocharged flat-6 engine.<\/p>\n
Off the showroom floor, it is capable of doing 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, reaching the quarter mile in less than eleven seconds and a top speed rated at 205 mph.<\/p>\n
But what happens when a superb car like the Turbo gets cranked up to 11? Our friends over at ThatRacingChannel<\/a> found an owner who did exactly that.<\/p>\n Richard took his brand new 2016 Turbo S and began tuning right away. He started with a Stage 4 kit from ByDesign<\/a>, which includes intercoolers, a tune and map, IPD plenum and intake, upgraded turbos, and a transmission tune from COBB<\/a>.<\/p>\n MUST READ:<\/strong> 591 horsepower 2020 Audi RS6 Avant finally coming to US!<\/a><\/p>\n To complete the Stage 4 kit, the car runs on methanol, all while still retaining a stock engine block with just bolt-ons. Richard estimates the car to be making around 750hp at the wheels after his modifications.<\/p>\n Running the car at the drag strip, they put the down their best time of 9.45 at 147 mph. Data from the run also showed the car doing 0-60 mph in 2.1 seconds!\u00a0It wasn\u2019t mentioned about which tires the Porsche runs, but judging by the tread in their close ups, we guess it was as close to a drag tire for the street as you can find.<\/p>\n The 991 Turbo has become an extremely capable platform for half-mile racing. A bolt-on setup like Richard\u2019s will do somewhere in the 170-175mph range, with some stock motor 991\u2019s even dipping into the 180\u2019s. For essentially bolt-on cars with stock motors, that is crazy.<\/p>\n With built motors, some 991\u2019s have gone even faster. Ravi<\/a> from CSF Radiators<\/a>, for example, can be seen in the video below doing 186mph in his built 991 Turbo at the Never Lift Half Mile<\/a>.<\/p>\n
