    This Is Why Porsche Gave New Turbo So Much More Power

    Porsche took the covers off the new 992-generation Turbo S last week and it pumps out a monstrous 641 hp (478 kW) and 800 Nm from the 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six.

    The 991-gen Turbo S delivered “only” 580 hp (432 kW) and was an absolute rocket of a car so why did Porsche jump by 61 hp?

    Speaking with Road & Track, Porsche 911 chief engineer Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser revealed that the new car needed to feel quicker which meant giving it more power than ever before.

    “If you take a 580-hp car and add another 20 or 30 extra [hp], you won’t really feel it,” Walliser said. “Maybe you can measure it, but the reason for a new Turbo is that you feel something, that you feel a difference…we wanted to really make a step,” he revealed.

    “You can really feel the size of the engine, and once the turbos reach boost pressure, it’s really impressive. The car is a little bit more raw,” he said.

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
