You have to admit Porsche’s marketing staff gets it right. Their Top 5 series is among the best automotive content ever created. In this week’s upload, we found a heavy-hitting email in our inbox. Their press release compiled the fastest Porsche production models of all time, so let’s see how they rank.
5. 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S.
What can be better than a twin-turbo 580 horsepower 911? If you weren’t lucky enough to get the 607 hp Exclusive Series 911 Turbo S, you will have 580 horsepower to all wheels. 0 to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds. Top Speed: 205 mph.
4. Porsche Carrera GT
Having a reputation as unforgiving, the Carrera GT is a brutal F1 car for the street. The carbon ceramic clutch is basically an on/off switch. You will stall it out a few times the beginning, ask me how I know. But once you are moving, the beechwood shifter and the carbon fiber chassis are still on-par with current supercars. 0 to 60 mph: 3.5 seconds. Top Speed: 207 mph.
3. Porsche 959 S
To silence every critic, Porsche decided to build the world’s first supercar. Fitted with a twin-turbo flat-six and AWD, it set the course for the 911 Turbo that continues to this day. 0 to 60 mph: ~3.7 seconds. Top Speed: ~211 mph.
2. 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS
If you don’t respect it, you shouldn’t drive it. The GT2 RS is not simply a Rear-Wheel drive version of the 911 Turbo S. It is a lightweight race car that brought the Nurburgring record back home. It was developed in secret at the Weissach engineering center. It offers 700 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. 0 to 60 mph: 2.6 seconds. Top Speed: 211 mph.
1.Porsche 918 Spyder
By combining a monster V8 with 2 electric motor-generators, the Porsche 918 Spyder will reign supreme for a long time. It offers 887 horsepower and 944 lb-ft of torque. The front wheels have their own electric motor which is rated at 127 horsepower. The factory claims 12 miles of electric cruising, but we have observed much more as long as you stay conservative with the throttle. 0 to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds. Top Speed: 214 mph.
