The Porsche Dream Giveaway, which raises money for charity through paid entries, is awarding a specially ordered Turbo S that has been modified to produce more than 700 horsepower. The build was developed in partnership with The Smoking Tire, an automotive media outfit that selected a slate of enthusiast-focused changes intended to sharpen the car’s performance without sacrificing the everyday usability the model is known for.
In stock form, the 911 Turbo S is widely regarded as a benchmark for usable supercar performance, pairing rapid acceleration with all-weather capability and a refined interior. The giveaway car pushes that reputation further. Finished in Ice Grey Metallic over a Slate Grey leather cabin, it carries an approximate sticker price of $274,000 and reaches 60 mph from a standstill in roughly 2.6 seconds.
The factory specification includes a twin-turbocharged boxer engine, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Sport Chrono package, a sport exhaust, matrix LED headlights, a surround-view camera system and heated and ventilated seats, among other features.
The aftermarket additions come from a group of well-known performance suppliers. They include a BBI Autosport suspension setup, HRE forged wheels, an Akrapovic titanium exhaust, an IPD intake plenum and an M-Engineering electronic tune. The winner also will receive all of the original factory parts, allowing the car to be returned to stock if desired.
Organizers said the grand-prize recipient will receive $75,000 toward the federal taxes owed on the prize. Swisstrax, a garage flooring manufacturer, is contributing enough modular flooring to outfit a one-car garage.
Entries are open now, with proceeds benefiting the program’s charitable causes.
