On the 8th, amid a late-winter cold snap, I drove more than two hours from Seoul to Inje Speedium in Gangwon Province. Inje Speedium bills itself as South Korea’s first integrated automotive cultural complex — a place where enthusiasts and the public can experience performance driving. The circuit measures about 3.908 km (roughly 2.43 miles), and the facility sits on 1,399,000 m² (about 15,058,700 ft², roughly 346 acres).
Six Porsches were waiting when I arrived. To mark the local launch of the new 911 Turbo S, Porsche Korea hosted a media track experience. I sampled two variants of the new 911 Turbo S — the coupe and the cabriolet — along with the 911 Spirit 70, the 25th‑anniversary GT3 commemorative model ('911 GT3 Touring Package'), and the 911 Carrera 4 GTS.
On track, the Porsche delivered exactly what you want from a high-performance coupe: confidence without drama. Even on Inje’s unusually rough sections, the car never felt unsettled. I pushed harder into the corners and found the 911 simply remained planted. When I built speed to about 130 km/h (81 mph) and applied a hard stop, the chassis stayed composed and the car braked exactly where I intended.

The coupe and cabriolet both stood out for exceptionally smooth ride quality. They filtered out surface irregularities with a composed, flowing motion while maintaining notable stability at speed — a balance that explains why the 911 Turbo S is often described as an all‑rounder that pairs track capability with everyday usability. The coupe felt slightly lighter and sharper; the cabriolet, by contrast, felt more solidly supported under the body.
The T-HYBE lead system, introduced for the first time on a Turbo S model, was obvious in the car’s throttle response and power density. These two 911 Turbo S variants are the first in Porsche’s lineup to use two electric exhaust-gas turbos (eTurbos) instead of one large unit. With that change, the new 911 Turbo S achieves a combined system output of 711 PS, making it the most powerful production 911 to date — 61 PS more than the previous generation.
Lee Seok-jae, director at Porsche Korea, said, "An electric motor assists the engine so we can reach the very high output of 711 PS. With two eTurbos, the system can deliver roughly twice the capability of the previous setup."
He added, "This architecture lets us raise responsiveness more quickly and tune the car for sportier behavior. The electric motor provides immediate power when needed, and our goal is to capture and reuse the energy required to supply that boost."
