Kreso F1,
will be it really faster than MP4-12C in lap times? and why wont Turbo S be faste than Mp4-12C in straight line acceleration? its very dissapointing
How could the 991 turbo S be faster? It has about 70hp less than the McLaren and is heavier as well. AWD will only help below 60mph.
Markus,
991 Turbo S will officialy have more then 530ps. Unofficially-even more...
But the McLaren has approx. 625hp 625 - 70 = ....
It's a guess.
As far as I know MP4-12C recently has been tested and showed up 10,5 secs for 1/4 mile at 136 mph (220 kmh)... Its somewhere 8,5 secs for 0-200 kmh
And it is a RWD car! So Turbo S has to be even faster at the start to match up in higher speed.
Source ?
I have seen a 10,55s run at 134,6 mph with the updated 625hp car. While McLaren community is raving about this fastest ever result, it is still short of McLaren official claim of 10,6 @ 136 mph, as usual, since MP4-12 both pre/post update has difficulties to reach performance claims.

I think we mean both the same test! I just have given approximate numbers between claims & tests. But by the way, iis it possible for Turbo S to be heavier and less hp and still ne ok par on straight line acceleration?
I think, a lot will depend on several factors
1) Advantage of AWD vs RWD up to 100 kmh. It could be 0,3-0,4 secs
2) PDK Gearing! Very important if 7th gear will be economy one ot not
3) Tri-turbo VS Twin-Turbo
4) Maxx revvs of Turbo S engine and torque band distribution within the revv range
5) weight
6) launch control effectiveness
7) PDK Shift speed
8) Cx Drag coefficient
