Porsche Cars Australia’s Launch Control event marks one of the most spectacular car launches in recent memory – it took place on a 2.2-kilometre runway at Sydney Airport.
The unveiling of the sports car to the Australian market gave 48 VIPs the opportunity to drive along Runway 16L/34R – one of two usually off-limits runways that protrude out into Botany Bay. Supervision was provided by Porsche Track Experience instructors, led by Deputy Chief Instructor and Bathurst 1000 champ Luke Youlden.
“I feel like I’ve got the golden ticket to Willy Wonka.” That’s how one Porsche enthusiast described receiving a ‘boarding pass’ to what may be one of the most exclusive events ever held on four wheels.
The unprecedented event showcased the all-wheel drive acceleration of the latest iteration of a Porsche legend, in safe and controlled conditions on the expansive 2.2-km stretch of tarmac. With 478kW (911 Turbo S: Fuel consumption* combined 11.1 l/100km, CO2 emissions* combined 254 g/km) from its 3.8-litre twin-turbo boxer six-cylinder, the Turbo S can storm to 100km/h in 2.7 seconds.
