Porsche 992 Turbo S – Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers Installed (925HP Build)
Introduction
Precision is everything when you’re driving a car that produces 925 horsepower. For the Porsche 992 Turbo S featured in this build, Flat 6 Motorsports partnered with Öhlins to take one of the most powerful street-driven Porsches and refine it even further. The result is a suspension transformation that brings sharper feedback, improved chassis balance, and confidence-inspiring control, both on the road and on the track.
The Role of Suspension in High-Powered Builds
When a 992 Turbo S is tuned to 925 HP, raw power is no longer the challenge, control is. Managing that power through corners, braking zones, and high-speed transitions becomes a matter of engineering precision.
Unlike the factory adaptive system designed for a variety of compliance objectives, Öhlins suspension technology emphasizes response and feedback. It allows Porsche owners to feel what the chassis is doing at every stage of a corner, how the tires load, how the weight transfers, and how to extract the most from the car’s mechanical grip.
Each coilover unit uses Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology, offering consistent damping performance under compression and rebound. This means rapid transitions remain smooth, and bumps at speed are absorbed with remarkable control.
Collaboration Between Flat 6 Motorsports and Öhlins
Flat 6 Motorsports’ relationship with Öhlins is built on a shared philosophy on the relentless pursuit of balance between performance and drivability. During the installation featured in the video, the Flat 6 team carefully calibrates the ride height, preload, and damping settings to suit the 992’s aggressive power level.
The technicians evaluate how suspension geometry, tire load, and weight distribution interact under dynamic driving conditions. By dialing in the Öhlins Road & Track system, they’re effectively re-engineering how the 992 Turbo S communicates with the driver.
For enthusiasts watching the video, it’s not only an inside look at a high-performance installation, but also a lesson in controlling immense horsepower fundamentals.
925 Horsepower Driving Impressions
Once on the road, the differences are immediate. The Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers eliminate the float and roll that often accompany stock suspension under extreme power. Instead, the 992 Turbo S feels planted and precise. Steering feedback is crisper, and transitions from throttle to brake are smoother, allowing the driver to carry more speed confidently through corners.
Perhaps the most impressive trait is adaptability. Despite being track-capable, the Öhlins setup maintains remarkable comfort during everyday driving. Ride quality is firm but composed, proving that race-bred hardware doesn’t have to compromise usability. This balance is why Öhlins remains one of the most trusted suspension manufacturers in professional motorsport and why Flat 6 Motorsports continues to integrate their systems into high-end Porsche builds.
The Öhlins Advantage for Porsche Enthusiasts
Öhlins has earned its reputation through decades of racing development and precision manufacturing. Their Road & Track Coilover System for the Porsche 992 bridges the gap between competitive motorsport performance and everyday comfort. The system provides 20-way adjustability, corrosion-resistant construction, and unparalleled damping control, making it the preferred choice for those who want their 992 to feel equally at home on smooth asphalt or challenging back roads.
Flat 6 Motorsports offers full installation and calibration services for Öhlins systems, along with consultation for custom setups.
Conclusion
The 925HP Porsche 992 Turbo S featured in this collaboration is proof that power is only part of the equation. Control, precision, and feedback complete the experience and that’s exactly what Öhlins delivers. Through meticulous setup and expertise, Flat 6 Motorsports demonstrates that true performance isn’t measured only in horsepower, but in how seamlessly that power can be harnessed.
