Benchmark: the 911 Turbo.
When Porsche unveiled the first 911 Turbo 40 years ago, it instantly
became the new benchmark of high performance. Through four decades
of engineering evolution, and through countless victories across the
world of motorsports, the 911
T
urbo has remained our benchmark—for
everything that Porsche builds. With each new 911 Turbo, the starting
point for getting to the very limit of what’s possible is reset. Once again.

56 911 Tu r b o | Concept
Given that the starting point is the
most recent 911 Turbo, how do
you make a new 911 Turbo that
performs at an even higher level?
How do you make its engine produce
more power with less fuel? Its
transmission shift more seamlessly,
its suspension grip the road with
more traction, and its brakes shed
speed with even more force and less
fade? Its exterior more aerodynamic
and its interior more functional and
comfortable? How do you make its
safety engineering more advanced? How do you, in other words, evolve
the legendary 911 Turbo and
enhance its capabilities—without
diluting its essential character?
It ’s a daunting challenge, yet
one Porsche engineers confront
with clear-eyed goals and race-
proven technical innovations.
There are measurable objectives:
improved g-force, horsepower, and
torque outputs, shorter braking
distances, and quicker zero-to-sixty
times. And there are more subjective considerations: the sound of the engine,
the support of the seats, the feeling of
confidence and control that results from
a total synergy bet ween car and driver.
It ’s a process that requires, above all,
patience. A new technology may take
time to translate its advantages to meet
the aims of a Porsche. A promising
idea may prove less so when subjected
to our test circuit at Weissach or to
the extreme demands of endurance
races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans
or the Twelve Hours of Sebring.
But the reward for following a highly
disciplined process is unquestionable.
With each successive 911 Turbo,
Porsche engineers have demonstrated
that ever-higher levels of performance
remain to be discovered.
And the new 911 Turbo is no exception.
With 90 percent of its components
redeveloped, it once again provides a
new reference for Porsche excellence.
At Porsche, we prefer to lead by example.

Our engineers have been measuring
themselves against their dreams for
50 years. When Porsche unveiled the
first 911 Turbo at the 1974 Paris Motor
Show, people shook their heads in
disbelief. With just six cylinders and a
mere 3-liter displacement, how could
such a relatively small engine produce
such a prodigious amount of power?
The answer, of course, was turbocharging,
and the quizzical headshaking soon gave
way to appreciation for the achievement
of a fundamental technical breakthrough.
It quickly became clear that the 911 Turbo
was going to be a reference for all
other sports cars— even our own.The bar was set high. And with every new
generation, the challenge for Porsche
engineers has been to raise it still higher.
What distinguishes a 911 Turbo at
its heart is the absolute desire for
performance—Intelligent Performance.
It ’s a personalit y trait that makes
every 911 Turbo stand out from the
crowd. And sets new standards for
sports car performance with each
evolution—in form and in function.
It is a Porsche made for the racetrack,
turned into a sports car for everyday use.
It is power that accepts responsibilit y—
with a high level of safet y and reduced
impact on the environment. The new 911 Turbo offers greater
engine power. Its improved Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) now comes as
standard. Its thermal management is
improved. Its handling enhanced with
the new rear-axle steering and Porsche
Active Aerodynamics (PA A), used here
for the very first time in a road car.
The new 911 Turbo shows that,
if you measure yourself against
your own dreams, there’s no
limit to what is possible.
The 911 Turbo has been the
benchmark since 1974. And now, in
the latest generation, it has found
its most powerful expression.

910 911 Tu r b o | Design
A lot of designed objects make
a stunning debut. Very few
achieve lasting impact.
Design can only endure if form is not
just a shell. If form truly follows function,
then that object cannot—should not—
be any thing else. When that ideal is
realized, the result is something truly
timeless; something that will serve
as the essential reference point for
every thing that comes after it. There can be no doubt about the origin
of the new 911 Turbo. In its form,
proportions, and lines, it is clearly
evolved from all previous 911 Turbo
models. The changes are subtle yet
profound. The fenders are higher than
the front hood; the extra inch at the back
compared to previous models creates an
especially dynamic tension. Height and
overhangs have been reduced, while the
wheelbase is approximately four inches
longer, improving stability and stretching
the characteristic arc of the 911 roofline. The new 911 Turbo looks more
powerful, more agile, sportier.
An iconic feature of the 911 Turbo
is the rear aerodynamic wing. In the
new 911 Turbo, it ’s been completely
revised and, together with the
adaptive spoiler at the front, forms
the completely new Porsche Active
Aerodynamics (PA A) system.
The design of the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet is also resetting standards in
both form and function. The integrated
supporting magnesium elements of the
fabric top are light weight yet rigid to
help the Cabriolet retain the distinctive
form of the 911 when the top is up.
And at the same time, they help make
it extremely stable, to enhance the
structural rigidit y of the chassis that is
so essential to a Porsche sports car.

continues. The newly designed interior
is focused on just one thing: the
driver. All of the information comes
together behind the steering
wheel. The rising central console is
impressive with an intelligent operating
concept and clever ergonomics.Sportiness and comfort are combined

by the Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with

1314 911 Tu r b o | Technology
The heart of the new 911 Turbo
models—located at the rear, as
always—is Porsche’s 6-cylinder boxer
engine. Displacing 3.8 liters, it uses
twin turbochargers with Variable Turbine
Geometry (V TG) and provides more power
than ever before. It ’s a more efficient
engine too, thanks to new technologies
including thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, and
features such as Auto Start Stop, an
improved Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), and coasting function. Another new standard feature of the new
911 Turbo is rear-axle steering. Improving
both agility and stability, rear-axle steering
adapts to different driving situations.
On 911 Turbo S models, Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is also
standard. PDCC actively adjusts chassis
characteristics to elevate the abilit y of
the 911 Turbo S to hold the road, both
in a straight line and when cornering.
And in the new 911 Turbo, the Porsche
Active Aerodynamics (PA A) system makes its transfer from the racetrack
to a production Porsche for the first
time. PA A adjusts the set tings of
both the front and the rear spoiler.
The result is greater stabilit y, lower
fuel consumption on the road, and
impressive times on the racetrack.
More power. Greater efficiency. Enhanced
chassis control and aerodynamics. In
addition, all new 911 Turbo models
also include as standard a reversing
camera and Adaptive Cruise Control
including Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
LED headlights, including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS
Plus), are standard in the 911 Turbo S
models and optional on the 911 Turbo
and the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
They provide excellent orientation
and make driving much less tiring.
