Porsche 911 Turbo Ready to Go
Stuttgart. Running on a suspension lowered by 10 mm, the new 911 Turbo is ready to go. When entering the market next year, this outstanding sports car will come with 18-inch hollow-spoke light-alloy wheels featuring 225/40 tyres at the front and 295/30 tyres on the rear axle. And it will not take a long time to make it right to the top, the new 911 Turbo featuring a six-speed manual gearbox as standard for acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. After 9.2 seconds the speedometer reading is 160 km/h and the top speed is 305 km/h or 189 mph. This makes the new Turbo even faster than the GT3, outperforming all the other models in the 911 range.
A big bang from the rear end
The new 911 Turbo draws its enormous power from a flat-six engine displacing 3600 cc. Boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers, it develops maximum power of 309 kW (420 bhp) at 6000 rpm. The maximum torque of 550 Nm or 413 lb-ft comes at just 2700 rpm and remains consistently at that level up to 4600 rpm. Reflecting the far greater power of the new 911 Turbo, the over-all surface of the radiators has been enlarged by more than 50 per cent versus the normal-aspiration engine of the 911 and the radiator blower output has been enhanced accordingly. Three large, dark-covered air scoops at the front of the car bear testimony to these changes in body design, giving the 911 Turbo a striking, absolutely unique face. The side sections at the rear have also been restyled, narrow-cut air intake ducts for the intercoolers characterising the special look of the flared rear wheel arches. Also at the rear the all-new retracting wing as well as the newly designed rear-end cover with outlet openings for the turbocharger air boost accentuate the extremely powerful but also elegant look of Porsche's new top model.
Four-wheel drive featured as standard
Like its predecessor, the new 911 Turbo comes as standard with four-wheel drive. Depending on traction requirements, the front wheels permanently convey between 5 and 40 per cent of the drive power to the road. But excellent traction is not a purpose in itself - rather, the most important point is to achieve truly outstanding driving characteristics and driving safety. The active safety of the car is therefore enhanced by Porsche Stability Management (PSM) also fitted as standard on the 911 Turbo. Should the car ever swerve in an extreme situation, specific intervention by the brakes on individual wheels ensures immediate re-stabilisation.
Top features for the top model
Compared with the 911 Carrera, the new 911 Turbo comes with a significantly higher level of standard equipment. Including, inter alia, metallic paintwork, automatic air conditioning, a cassette radio complete with sound package, a wide range of leather upholstery, electrically adjustable seats with seat memory on the driver's side, and the three-spoke sports steering wheel with Porsche's logo in colour. And last but not least, the 911 Turbo also features an on-board computer and electrically operated locks on the luggage and engine compartments.
