One of the most iconic super cars and sports cars ever made is
the Porsche 911 Turbo. The rear-engined super car has become the
benchmark for performance for automakers around the world since it was
first made back in 1974. Forty years later, the German super car is
still considered the pinnacle of performance around the world, with
companies constantly trying to make a better sports car. After the new
991-generation Porsche 911 was unveiled in 2012, the German automaker
has been working on the Turbo version of the chassis, and it has finally
broken cover. The new Porsche 911 Turbo boasts a large amount of
advanced technology and impressive performance thanks to its 520
horsepower engine. It also features a unique look, shape, and
accessories such as forged wheels, lighting, and more.
At the rear of the Porsche 911 Turbo sits a new direct injection 3.8-liter flat-six engine that is very efficient and powerful. Two variable vane turbochargers feed boosted air into the engine and help it to produce an astonishing 520 horsepower from 6,000 to 6,500 RPM and 487 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,950 to 5,000 RPM. The engine is also capable of sending a total of 524 lb.-ft. of torque to all four forged wheels from 2100 to 4250 RPM thanks to the Overboost function in the Sport Chrono package.
An all-new, advanced all-wheel drive system and rear-wheel steering system allows for all of the power to be put to the road and greater handling dynamics to be achieved. Thanks to a few new components including a new cooling system that allows for more power to be sent to the front axle, the 911 Turbo can accelerate quicker than ever before. As all four forged wheels claw at the pavement, the 911 Turbo goes from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 195 mph. The new rear wheel steering automatically alters the angle the rear wheels turn, depending on the speed to virtually extend the wheelbase and improve handling in turns.
The design of the Porsche 911 Turbo helps to set it apart from the rest of the lineup. The body of the super car is now 28 mm wider than the Carrera 4 models, and gives the 911 Turbo a muscular and powerful stance. New two-tone 20-inch forged wheels with optional center-locking mechanism help to reduce weight at the wheel hub and can withstand the added power that the car produces. A new LED lighting system is used for the headlights and daytime running lights to provide efficient and bright views of the road ahead. Active aerodynamics at the front and rear automatically deploy and extend in various modes of performance to help generate over 300 lbs. of downforce at speed for better stability, handling, and efficiency.
