The BRABUS PowerXtra P38S-720 performance upgrade bumps the output of the turbocharged boxer by 52 kW / 70 hp (70 bhp). To this end, the plug-and-play auxiliary control unit is adapted to the electronic engine management system. It updates the system with new maps for injection and ignition and steps up the boost pressure. The result is an increase in peak output from stock 478 kW / 650 hp to 530 kW / 720 hp (641 to 711 bhp) at a low 6,900 rpm. At the same time, peak torque grows from 800 to 900 Nm (590 to 664 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm. Consequently, the sports car accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 335 km/h (208 mph).

Drivers of a 911 Turbo S wishing for even more power can have their coupe or convertible enhanced with the BRABUS PowerXtra P38S-820 performance upgrade. This kit includes two special BRABUS high-performance turbochargers. Their modified core assembly with reinforced axial bearing, larger compressor unit and larger turbine unit with modified VTG adjustment produces a maximum boost pressure of 2.1 bar.

The electronic engine controls were adapted to the new hardware as well. As with the other performance upgrade, this was effected by means of a BRABUS PowerXtra auxiliary control unit whose maps were however specifically tailored to the modified forced induction system. Following the modification, the engine delivers even more outstanding performance figures: The engine produces its peak output of 603 kW / 820 hp (809 bhp) at a low 6,900 rpm. Just as impressive is the peak torque of 950 Nm (701 lb-ft), which is already on tap at 4,000 rpm.

The installation of the BRABUS high-performance exhaust system is advisable for both output levels and for any stock 911 Turbo of the current 992 generation. It is produced from INCONEL, a particularly heat resistant yet lightweight alloy that is also used for fabricating the exhaust systems of the current Formula 1 racecars.

The strong suits of this quad sport exhaust system are sound and performance. It reduces exhaust backpressure and also features actively controlled butterfly valves for an electronically controlled sound management. From the cockpit, the driver can choose between a subtle “Coming Home” mode and the open “Sport” position of the exhaust valves, which coax a particularly powerful exhaust note from the boxer engine. The two BRABUS BoostXtra valves for the turbo system are another special development. They produce a thrilling blow-off noise when the driver lifts off the gas.

The BRABUS PowerXtra P38S-820 powerplant in the rear gives the 911 Turbo S even more superior performance on the road. In perfect interaction with the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and the electronically controlled all-wheel drive, the engine propels the exclusive two-door car from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 2.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 340 km/h (211 mph) to protect the tires.

Reducing aerodynamic lift is crucial on a car this fast. That is why the BRABUS designers went into the wind tunnel to develop equally efficient and striking bodywork components, which are manufactured from carbon and offer a choice of high-gloss or matt sealed finish.
The BRABUS front spoiler with flaps on the left and right gives the sports car some full-blooded motor racing flair. The thrilling looks go hand in hand with outstanding aerodynamic efficiency. The aerodynamic-enhancement component reduces front-axle lift at high speeds, which further optimizes the handling stability. The function of the standard, active drop-down center section of the rear fascia remains of course unaffected. Tailor-made carbon elements for the large air intakes in the front bumper make the sports car look even more dynamic.

The BRABUS flaps mounted to the rocker panels in front of the rear wheel arches optimize the airflow around the rear wheels and give the Porsche an even more spectacular profile from the side.
