Powerkit's added pace; incredible traction; powerful brakes.
Powerkit's extra cost pitches the Carrera S head-to-head with sublime Audi R8 and comes off worse.
Appealing, if costly; stop-gap until the new direct injection engine range arrives.
Cars offering this level of performance are not cheap to buy or run. The 911 is no exception. Insurance is group 20 and with the Powerkit, fuel economy sinks to 23.5mpg - 1.1mpg less than the standard Carrera S.
Road tax won't come cheap: the Porsche emits 288g/km of carbon dioxide which puts it in VED band G.
