Compared to the 991 the 992's greatest growth was lateral. While all 911s are now (effectively) wide-bodies- even the haunches of a base Carrera don't taper towards the rear of the car as they did on 911s of old, the Turbo seems to take this to extremes. The front track is an astounding 42mm wider than its predecessor, and the rear is up 10mm from …

More powerful and much lighter, the …

"I love this car so much", Matt Farah says of the 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S, and we can't exactly blame him. The widebody bruiser is a mega machine, potentially the only Grand Touring Supercar in the world.

I'd like to start by making it known that it is a shame Chris Harris' stuff has been moved from YouTube to a native video player on the Top Gear website.

The base Turbo now offers 540 hp and the Turbo S makes a whopping 580 hp (up from 520 and 560 respective).
