Concluding the arrival of the 992 911 models in Forza Horizon 5's Horizon Track Day update is the renowned 911 Turbo S, often regarded as the King of 911s.
Having obtained it from a seasonal championship from the update's Hot Season Playlist, it's time to have a word with the King of 911s.
The 992-spec 911 Turbo S is a bonafide supercar that can go from 0-100kph in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 330kph. It has a 3.8L flat-6 engine with two VTG turbochargers that produce 650PS of power and 800Nm of torque. The only transmission offered is an 8-speed PDK, and the optional Sport Chrono pack is available. Apart from its performance, the 911 Turbo has a mild but spartan driving feel when enjoyed on track days. It has a four-wheel drive system, updated dynamics and aerodynamics, a PASM sports chassis, and a showy sports exhaust system.
A special 911 Turbo 50 model was unveiled in honor of the 911 Turbo's 50th anniversary. Only 1974 models were made, a reference to the year the 911 Turbo was born.
To demonstrate that the 911 Turbo S is the ultimate 911, I've invited the entire 992 911 road car lineup featured in Forza Horizon 5 to compete in a sprint to the Festival Gatecrash. We'll be racing several models, including the basic 911 Carrera S, the track-focused GT3, the off-road-capable Dakar, and the ultra-high-performance GT3 RS. Let's see if the Turbo S truly deserves the title of King of 911s. Roll the tape!
And now, the results...
992 Carrera S - 2m47.434s
992 GT3 - 2m38.458s
911 Rallye - 2m50.571s
992 Turbo S - 2m36.373s
992 GT3 RS - 2m38.091s
I think that explains it all. The 911 Turbo S is the KING of 911s.
A bonafide supercar killer five decades in the making, the 911 Turbo is the apex of the 911 hierarchy and with the 992 version, this is the ultimate 911 Turbo ever made.
Now that we wrap up the update packed with four 992 models from the GT3 RS to the Turbo S, it's time for the King of 911s to have its grand finale. But first...
The 992 911 Turbo S is in high spirits today as it takes on the role of Tamaki Nikaido, the character from Himitsu no AiPri and the second-in-command of Quartet STAR. Miss Sakura will surely be pleased to see her right-hand gal in action. I even remember that episode where Tamaki convinced Sakura to wear Non Manaka's costume.
With Tamaki Nikaido perked up for the big night, my 911 Turbo S is ready for the grand finale, which is racing through the EventLab re-enactment of the final stage from Ridge Racer Type 4, called Shooting Hoops. I've been searching for this re-enactment for ages and now I'm going to play with it for sentimental reasons. Kudos to whoever made this EventLab re-enactment.
"FINISH! There goes the winner! What an incredible race!"
The Porsche 911 is undoubtedly one of the greatest cars of all time. As the years go by, this iconic German masterpiece continues to demonstrate its timeless appeal and enduring performance. For six decades, the 911 has proven itself both on the road and on the racetrack, solidifying its status as a German powerhouse. We can expect even more remarkable achievements from this rear-engine legend in the future.
This concludes today's broadcast of 9-1-1. Goodbye, and good luck to Forza Horizon 5's next update featuring a quartet of previous-generation saloons ruining our Christmas celebration and a Z NISMO to save Christmas.
