Bangkok--25 Mar--Porsche
In introducing the new generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S, Porsche is presenting the top cars of the 911 model series in terms of technology and dynamic performance. 40 years after the world premiere of the first Turbo prototype, the Porsche 911 Turbo is redefining the limits of what is feasible in a sports car for everyday use.
Overview of the new 911 Turbo generation’s highlights:
- Active rear axle steering enhances agility on the street and on the circuit race course
- Adaptive aerodynamics improve performance, efficiency and everyday utility
- New all-wheel drive controls power distribution even faster and more precisely
- 3.8-litre biturbo engines produce 520 hp (383 kW) and 560 hp (412 kW)
- A 30 hp gain in engine power but 16 per cent reduction in fuel consumption compared to the previous model
- Fuel consumption reduced to 9.7 l/100 km
- 911 Turbo S has active roll compensation (PDCC), ceramic brakes (PCCB), 20-inch wheels and full-LED headlights
For 40 years now, the unique selling point of the 911 Turbo has been the extreme spread of its capabilities that range between dynamic performance and efficiency, between exclusivity and everyday practicality, between tradition and innovation. Advanced development of existing systems and the introduction of new active systems are extending this range in such a way that the 911 Turbo models have now cranked their top values up a notch in all individual disciplines. For example, the lap time of the new 911 Turbo S at the North Loop of the Nürburgring was reduced to well under 7:30 minutes – naturally with standard production tyres. This advances it into realms of dynamic performance that were previously only attainable by uncompromisingly designed super sports cars.
More than ever, the two new top models also make a clear visual statement about their performance. The characteristic widely flared rear fenders of the new 911 Turbo generation are 28 mm wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models – a nearly level surface of more than a hand width extends out from the C-pillar to the outer edge of the car.
