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.

2930 Power | Engine
Both versions of the new engine have
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). DFI injects
the fuel directly into the combustion
chamber with millisecond precision.
Injection and taper angle are optimized
for torque, performance, consumption,
and emissions. The engine control
system adjusts the injection timing
individually for each cylinder and the
injection quantit y for each cylinder
bank. The greater compression this achieves provides more power—and
makes the engine more efficient.
The integrated dry-sump lubrication
ensures reliable oil supply and also
performs additional cooling functions.
The electronic oil pump supplies oil
when it is needed. And because the oil
reservoir is integrated in the engine,
there is no need for an external oil tank.
This saves space and, above all, weight.
The 3.8-liter, 6-cylinder boxer engine
is made with a light weight alloy
design. The engine’s impressive
power-to-weight ratio increases
agilit y and optimizes fuel efficiency. The connecting rods and aluminum
pistons are forged for added
strength, and each piston is
individually cooled by oil injection
nozzles in each cylinder. The cylinders are made from an aluminum alloy
that offers exceptional resistance
to the punishing heat generated
by a high-performance engine.
The result—for you, and for the
911 Turbo driving experience—

is an engine with extraordinary
power and surprisingly low
consumption, especially when
compared to engines with
greater displacement.

Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG)
One of the critical factors in designing a
turbocharged engine has always been the
size of the turbo units. Large turbines
create massive boost, but suffer “ turbo
lag” as they begin to spool up. Smaller
turbines respond more quickly, but lack
the capacit y to induce large amounts
of exhaust air. With Variable Turbine
Geometry (VTG), Porsche engineers
have resolved this conflict. As exhaust
flow from the engine is channeled into
the turbines, the engine management
system controls the electronically
adjustable guide vanes, changing the
vane angle so the system can replicate
the advantages of both sizes of turbo,
large and small. The optimal gas-flow
characteristics are achieved at all times. This results in a high turbine speed—
and greater boost pressure—even
at low engine rpm. With more air
available, the combustion is increased,
yielding bet ter power and torque. The
torque curve reaches its maximum
level much sooner—and stays there.
V TG also improves the response
of the turbo engine with dynamic
boost pressure development.
When the boost pressure reaches
its maximum value, the guide vanes
are opened further. By varying the
vane angle, it is possible to achieve
the required boost pressure over the
entire engine-speed range, so excess
pressure valves are no longer required.
Porsche revolutionized the modern
sports car with the original 911 Turbo.
And with innovations such as Variable
Turbine Geometry (VTG) in the new
911 Turbo, the revolution carries on.
VarioCam Plus
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept that adjusts the camshafts on
the intake side and controls valve lift.
The system distinguishes bet ween
normal everyday driving and maximum
power requirements and adapts to
the corresponding conditions. The
switchover is performed imperceptibly
by the electronic engine management
system. The result is spontaneous
acceleration, an extremely quiet drive,
and extraordinary engine power with
comparatively low fuel consumption. press as much of the air/fuel mixture as
possible into the cylinders. But added
compression not only increases air
volume—it also raises air temperature.
And this has a negative effect on ignition.
The 911 Turbo model’s expansion
manifold turns that principle around. The
internal geometry is radically different
from that of a resonance intake system.
Key modifications include a longer
distributor pipe with a smaller diameter,
and shorter intake pipes. As a result,
the air is in the expansion phase as it
enters the combustion chambers.
Since expansion always cools, the air/
fuel temperature is lower, ignition is
significantly improved, and—here’s the
best part—performance is increased.
Expansion Intake Manifold
More power using less fuel. Sounds
paradoxical, but it ’s really quite simple.
You just have to question the norm.
Take the intake manifold in the new
911 Turbo models, as an example. With
a traditional resonance manifold, more
air means more power. The compression
effect in the intake system is used to The amount of air that enters the engine
under expansion is less than it would
be under compression. To compensate
for this, Porsche engineers simply
increased the boost pressure. The
resulting increase in temperature—again
through compression—is immediately
offset by the uprated intercoolers.
Instead of hot compressed air entering
the combustion chambers, the cooler
air generates more power and torque.
As a consequence, there is a major
improvement in engine efficiency.
Fuel consumption is lower, even under
heav y loads and at high revs.

Coasting
The coasting function enables you
to save even more fuel when the
situation allows. In coast mode,
the engine is decoupled from the
transmission to prevent deceleration
caused by engine braking. Optimal use
is made of the vehicle’s momentum,
allowing the 911 Turbo to seamlessly
coast at certain times while
consuming significantly less fuel.
It works like this: Say, for example,
you want to slow down from 65 mph to
55 mph in anticipation of the change
of speed limit ahead. As soon as you
release the accelerator pedal, PDK deselects the current gear automatically
and you begin to coast in Neutral
until you have reached your desired
speed. The moment you engage the
accelerator or brake pedal, PDK selects
the appropriate gear smoothly and
seamlessly within a fraction of a second.
Another way the coast function helps
reduce fuel consumption is when you’re
driving downhill. If the gradient is gentle
enough for you to maintain a constant
speed, the transmission decouples
the drive power to save fuel. Yet PDK
remains ready to respond as swiftly
and precisely as you would expect.
In short, driving in coasting mode makes
a real impact on fuel consumption
without any need for compromise on
comfort or sporty performance.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
Enhanced Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) with water-cooled front-axle
gearbox is standard in all of the new
911 Turbo models. It is an active all-
wheel-drive system with an electronically
variable map-controlled multiplate
clutch, Automatic Brake Differential
(ABD), and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR).
And it delivers the high power of the new
911 Turbo models even more effectively
and efficiently to the road. This is thanks
to the new water-cooling system for the
front-axle gearbox. Water conducts heat
bet ter than air. So the cooling jackets placed on the gearbox have several
advantages: When you first start your
911 Turbo, the water ensures that the
gearbox warms up more quickly—and
reaches its optimal temperature sooner.
And during the drive itself, the heat
produced is dissipated more easily.
So more torque and more drive
force can be transmit ted through
the gearbox to the front axle.
Drive power is distributed bet ween
the permanently driven rear axle
and the front axle by means of the
electronically variable multiplate clutch.The status of the vehicle is continuously
monitored so that it is possible to respond
to different driving situations. Sensors are
used to collect a range of data, including
the rotational speed of all four wheels,
the lateral and longitudinal acceleration of
the car, and the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels begin
to lose traction under acceleration, a
greater proportion of the drive power
is automatically transmit ted to the front
axle by a more positive engagement of
the multiplate clutch. In addition, ASR
prevents wheelspin by adapting the
engine’s power output. During cornering, the optimal level of drive power is
distributed to the front wheels to help
ensure excellent lateral stability.
In conjunction with Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), PTM helps to
ensure the perfect distribution of drive
power for optimal traction in most road
scenarios, whether on long straights,
through tight corners, or on surfaces
with different friction coefficients.
