The heart of the 911 models is the 3.8-liter boxer twin-turbo engine with variable turbine geometry (VTG). It sits in the rear and provides more power than ever before. In all models, power is transmitted to the road by Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive.
Rear-axle steering, fitted as standard, adapts to different driving situations, thereby improving agility and stability. For straight sections of road and for bends, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is standard equipment in the 911 Turbo S models. PDCC ensures that the car sits more solidly and holds the road better.
The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system (PAA) enhances both everyday practicality and performance. A contradiction that has been resolved by the flexible settings of front spoiler and rear wing. Resulting in better road clearance at the front, greater stability, lower fuel consumption on the road and impressive times on the racetrack.
Six cylinders. Rear engine. In a boxer arrangement. There are some principles from which we never deviate. Because the typical Porsche construction and the position of the drive unit guarantee very good load changing, excellent balancing of masses, a low-vibration drive and a low centre of gravity. The cylinders are placed in two opposite rows, with a total displacement of 3.8 litres.
But we still haven’t mentioned what makes a Porsche a 911 Turbo: two exhaust turbochargers with variable turbine geometry. Together with the expansion intake manifold and VarioCam Plus. You might call it the fire within the 911 Turbo models. Or simply an extremely good basis for setting benchmarks. It comes in two power levels:
