Porsche races ahead.

The first turbocharged Porsche race car debuted in 1972. Fitted with a 12-cylinder, 5-liter engine, the legendary Porsche 917/10 fielded a twin-turbo design to produce a colossal 1,000 horsepower and a North American CanAm championship. One year later, the 917/30 became the most powerful racing Porsche of all time with a 5.4-liter, 1,100-hp engine that proved practically unbeatable. In typical Porsche fashion, this racebred technology found its way into our production models.
The 911 Turbo legend begins.
In 1974, the first 911 Turbo was unveiled. Arriving in the midst of a global oil crisis, it was a bold statementand looked the part. Wider wheel arches were sculpted to accommodate tires that were large enough to handle 256 lb.-ft. of torquethe highest ever achieved by a 3-liter engine at the time.
which helped to keep the tires firmly planted at speed. Producing 260 horsepower, the original 911 Turbo could sprint from 062 mph in 5.5 seconds. Maximum torque output of 256 lb.-ft. was unprecedented in a 3-liter engine, necessitating other innovations such as reinforced gears.
Aerodynamic refinements were also essential requirements, given its prodigious engine performance. These included a fixed front spoiler and the now-legendary rear wing,
Cooler, faster, stronger.
The first evolution of the Porsche 911 Turbo arrived in 1978 with several notable advances. A larger
Two models. One unmistakable purpose.
For over 30 years, the 911 Turbo has established itself not just as an icon, but as an iconoclast: Each generation has crushed old beliefs about the limits of sports-car performance. The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet continue this time-honored tradition into a sixth generation. Their unprecedented acceleration and handling dynamics, together with heightened levels of comfort and poise, coalesce into the ultimate sports car and the next masterpiece of Porsche engineering.

More power, less weight.

While the engines horizontally opposed boxer layout and 3.6-liter displacement remain intact, power output has been markedly improved to the tune of 480 horsepower at 6000 rpm 60 horsepower more than that of the previous generation of 911 Turbo. A significant increase in torque is also present, with 460 lb.-ft. on tap from 1950 rpm all the way up to 5000 rpm with no drop-off.
Even more thrilling, this increased power is delivered in a lighter package. Aluminum doors and an aluminum trunk lid exemplify the extensive use of weight-saving materials and construction techniques that help these models shed 11 pounds of weight, giving the Coupe an impressive power-toweight ratio of 7.28 lbs./hp. The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet sports an equally impressive 7.6 lbs./hp ratio. The payoff? Zero to 60 mph in 3.7/3.8 seconds (Coupe/ Cabriolet) with a manual gearbox. Equipped with the Tiptronic S transmission, the 060 mph Coupe acceleration time is 3.4 seconds and the Cabriolet time is 3.5 seconds. On the track, the 124-mph benchmark is eclipsed by the Tiptronic S Coupe in a mere 12.2 seconds; 12.5 seconds with a manual transmission. The Cabriolet records 12.6 seconds for the Tiptronic S and 12.8 seconds for the manual transmission. To achieve these new benchmarks, Porsche created Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). Traditionally, optimal turbocharging has been an exercise in compromise. At low engine speeds, a small turbine accelerates more quickly due to its low mass. A large turbocharger excels at higher engine speeds by creating less back pressure. By adjusting the turbine vanes inside each of the engines twin turboVariable Turbine Geometry offers a range of performance benefits, including higher torque at low engine speeds, greater top-end power, and optimal torque output over a broader range of engine speeds. In effect, a large turbo is made to mimic the profile of a smaller turbo at low engine speeds. At higher speeds, the profile is increased.

Turbocharger with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG)
The turbocharger has undergone a continuous evolution in the hands of Porsche engineers. Variations in turbine size, the addition of the intercooler, the move to twin turbochargers and advances in engine-management systems have all extracted greater performance from the basic concept of an exhaustdriven compressor. In the 911 Turbo, Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) provides a revolutionary step forward.

The turbo dilemma.

Its well understood that a smaller turbine will generally reach optimal speed more quickly than a larger, heavier turbine. But as engine revolutions continue to climb, exhaust flow tends to overwhelm the smaller turbine; the resulting back pressure robs the engine of power at high rpm.
Larger turbo units have the opposite tendencies. They work

Commanding power.

In the 911 Turbo, maximum torque is reached at a much lower rpm and retained across a wider revolution band. At every engine speed, throttle input is met with a commanding yet measured response. Once the boost pressure reaches its maximum value, the guide vanes are opened further. By varying the vane angle, it is possible to achieve and maintain the required boost pressure over the entire
engine speed range. As a result, there is no need for a wastegate, as found on conventional turbocharged engines.
Surprisingly, Variable Turbine Geometry also contributes to the new 911 Turbos improved fuel efficiency, as well as its astonishing acceleration.
For brief bursts of additional power, the driver can select Sport mode on the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo. Under full acceleration, this selection engages an overboost function for up to 10 seconds, temporarily raising the engines torque to an astounding 505 lb.-ft.

Engine cooling.
An advanced cross-flow watercooling system channels coolant separately to each individual cylinder, so that all six cylinders operate within the same temperature range. Consistent temperatures reduce the chance of pre-ignition knocking, extend valve life, improve fuel economy and lower emissions. Cleverly, the coolant channels are cast into the block, eliminating the need for hoses and related maintenance. Waste heat from the oil is transferred to the coolant via two oil/water heat exchangers. Coolant is routed through twin radiator units located ahead of the front wheels and a third unit placed in the cars nose.

In automatic mode, Tiptronic S displays almost prescient awareness of the driving situation and road conditions. Drivers
The five-speed Tiptronic S, the latest advance of this technology, is now available as an option on the 911 Turbo. Far from compromising performance, its lightning-quick gearshifts actually reduce sprint times compared to that of the standard six-speed gearbox. Tiptronic S in the Coupe shaves 0.3 seconds in the sprint from 0 to 60 mph, and 0.3 seconds from 0 to 124 mph. The Tiptronic S in the Cabriolet reduces the 060 mph time by 0.3 seconds. The 0124 mph time is reduced by 0.2 seconds.

Electronically controlled all-wheel drive with Porsche Traction Management. The synthesis of brains and brawn.
An engines twisting power is of limited use unless it can be turned into forward motion. This is no small challenge in the powerful 911 Turbo. To apply the engines 460 lb.-ft. of torque to the road, Porsche engineers have developed a new traction control system for the cars full-time allwheel drive.
clutch responded to relative front/rear speed differences to determine how much torque to apply at either axle. The new generation of 911 Turbo, by contrast, employs an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch that responds to traction changes almost instantaneously. Onboard sensors measure a range of values, including the rotational
acceleration, and the current steering angle. The sensor data are analyzed in real time, enabling immediate adjustments in the torque split between the front and rear axles.

Balanced performance.

The benefits are wide-ranging. For example, if the rear wheels lose traction under acceleration, more drive torque is instantly transmitted to the front axle. The integral Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) function also minimizes wheelspin. When the vehicle is cornering, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) adjusts drive to the front wheels in order to maintain optimal lateral grip. On variablegrip surfaces, traction is enhanced using the Automatic Brake Differential (ABD) function. For optimal traction, manualtransmission cars can also be equipped with an optional Assisting Porsche Traction Management is an upgraded version of Porsche Stability Management (PSM). Combined, these systems ensure optimal torque distribution as the road changes beneath youthrough long straightaways, hairpin bends and the challenge of changing levels of road grip.

Porsche Active Suspension Management has two driverselectable modes, Normal and Sport, which share a minimal degree of overlap. In either mode, PASM reacts to changes in the road and your driving style by varying damping force at each wheel. The system uses a range of sensors to monitor the cars longitudinal and lateral acceleration, braking, steering angle, brake-pedal pressure and engine torque. A dedicated control unit analyzes all this data, and adjusts damping to suit the situation, within the parameters of the driver-selected mode.

PSM remains an invisible feature in most everyday driving. However, it is constantly monitoring a host of dynamic variablesincluding the cars direction, speed, yaw velocity (the speed at which the car rotates around its vertical axis) and lateral acceleration.

Enhanced braking.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is an integral function of Porsche Stability Management. If a wheel approaches the threshold of skidding under braking, PSM applies selective ABS braking to that wheel, to shorten the braking distance and enhance directional control. The ABS function is pedal is suddenly released. The pressure in the brake lines is marginally increased, and brake pads come into light contact with emergency stops. When the pressure on the brake pedal exceeds a predefined threshold, the brake assist function uses the PSM hydraulics to apply the pressure required for maximum deceleration. The result: shorter braking distances. If youd rather enjoy your 911 Turbo The prefill function is automatically enabled whenever the throttle
