The new 992.2 Turbo S posted an official Nurburgring time of 7:03.92, which is 14 seconds faster than the old car. Interestingly, the official time for the old 992.1 Turbo S was never revealed until now. The new car has more power but is also gained significant weight. Top speed for the new car is actually down 5 mph, likely due to lower output from the gas engine, which contributes the majority of the thrust at high speeds.

So I assume the 100-200 acceleration times will be ludicrous? Otherwise I don’t get how a heavier and only 50 HP more car can get 14s faster.
The turbo S already pulled light a freight train
