All key features of this high-performance sports car have been improved significantly and combine far-reaching technical innovations with supreme refinement. As such, the new 911 Turbo offers increased performance, lower weight, enhanced driving dynamics and greater fuel efficiency.
With respect to dynamic performance and fuel economy in particular, the next generation Porsche 911 Turbo now stands apart from its competitors even more. The highlight of the seventh generation Porsche 911 Turbo is the new power unit displacing 3,8-litres and delivering 368 kW. The first entirely new engine in the 35 year history of the Turbo features such Direct Fuel Injection and twin turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, the latter attribute being unique to Porsche on a petrol engine.
The new six-cylinder engine can be combined with the option of the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch gearbox; and, for the first time, a further new feature of race car-inspired paddle-shift technology can also be specified.
In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo, both the paddle-shift steering wheel and the PDK steering wheel with its shift buttons feature integrated displays for Launch Control and the Sport/SportPlus mode.
This unique combination of supreme technical features ensures an unprecedented standard of responsiveness, agility, and performance also improves efficiency: for example, the new Porsche 911 Turbo reduces CO2 emissions versus its predecessor by almost 18 per cent. Depending on the configuration of the car, the new 911 Turbo offers fuel consumption ranging between 11.7 - 11.4 litres/100 km under the EU5 standard. This is all the more remarkable considering the potential for the Porsche 911 Turbo to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3,4 secs. Top speed, in turn, is 312 km/h.
Owners of the new Porsche 911 Turbo will also enjoy a further improvement in driving dynamics, with detailed enhancement of the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) fully-controlled all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) being further supported by the new option of Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). Porsche Torque Vectoring makes the car even more agile and precise in its steering responses, particularly on twisting roads.
Standard equipment includes the touch-screen Porsche Communication Management system with both Bluetooth mobile telephone and i-Pod connectivity.
