2013 PORSCHE 911 TURBO charging

78
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.

Po w e r.
For Porsche, power and weight have always been viewed as part of the
same equation. Turbocharging is a way to create a dramatic increase in
power, without adding the bulk of a big displacement engine. And then
there is the question of where to place the engine’s mass. In the new
911
T
urbo, it is where you’d expect Porsche to put it: at the rear.
Together with countless other innovations, these two fundamental
aspects of the 911 Turbo—its turbocharged power, rear-mounted—
create a performance character for which there simply is no substitute.

Thermal Management
The thermal management system
regulates the temperature in the engine
and transmission through the intelligent
manipulation of heat flow. It allows the
engine and transmission to reach their
optimal operating temperatures sooner.
The result? Combustion efficiency and
lubrication performance are improved,
and fuel consumption is reduced.
Auto Start Stop Function
The Auto Start Stop function is standard
in the new 911 Turbo models. When
the speed falls below 4 mph and the
911 Turbo is decelerating normally, the
engine switches off. For example, as you
are slowing while approaching a red light.
Audio and communication systems
remain switched on. The climate
control continues to maintain your
selected temperature. The engine
starts again when you release the
brake or move the steering wheel.
The Auto Start Stop function may remain
inactive under particular circumstances,
for example if the bat tery charge is
low, when the Sport but ton is selected,
or when there are extreme outside
temperatures. It is also possible to
deactivate the function manually using a
separate button on the center console.
Electrical System Recuperation
Another fuel-saving innovation that’s
standard on the new 911 Turbo models
is electrical system recuperation
technology. It captures the energy
created during events such as braking.
The vehicle bat tery is recharged by
the alternator, predominantly under
braking. Under acceleration, on the
other hand, the power draw of the
alternator is limited to increase the
engine output available for driving.
The electrical systems are supplied
by the electrical energy stored
during the recharging process.

Light Design Package
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the over-
head console and in the areas of the
rear seats, door openers, door storage
compartments, and front foot wells.
Porsche Entry & Drive
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle
or approach the luggage compartment,
the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door and the
luggage compartment lid unlock. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch. To lock the vehicle, you simply press
the but ton on the outside of the door
handle. Porsche Entry & Drive then locks
the vehicle and activates the engine
immobilizer and steering-column lock.
Glass Tilt/Slide Sunroof
For the 911 Turbo Coupe
models, a power-adjustable tilt /
slide sunroof is available in tinted
single-glazed safety glass.
An integral power sunblind provides
shade from unwanted bright light. The
design, headroom, and aperture of
the glass roof are identical to those
of the steel tilt /slide sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when
closed, the glass sunroof still gives
you that open-to-the-sky feeling.
Reversing Camera
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist front and
rear) facilitates reverse parking and
maneuvering. Help is provided in the
form of a high-contrast color image
with dynamic guidelines on the PCM
screen, which shows the predicted
course of the vehicle based on the
current position of the steering wheel.
Cruise Control
For greater driver comfort on long
stretches of road, this automatic
speed control function is standard on
the 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
Cruise control operates above 19 m p h

and is activated using a but ton on
the steering-column control stalk.
Adaptive Cruise Control Including
Po

rsche Active Safe (PAS)
Available as an option, this cruise
control function regulates your speed
according to the distance bet ween
your vehicle and the vehicle in front.
A radar sensor monitors the road
ahead at up to a distance of 656 feet.
If you have set a cruising speed but
have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly,
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed
of your vehicle up to a maximum
rate of 11 f t . /s e c by restricting
the throt tle or gently applying the
brakes, until the distance that you
have preset is maintained. Your
vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates
further, Adaptive Cruise Control will
continue to reduce your cruising
speed— even down to a complete stop.
For additional safet y, if the system
detects that the distance from the
vehicle in front is decreasing, it will
also prepare your vehicle for braking
by precharging the braking system
so that the brake pads are already
in light contact with the brake discs.
However, drivers still have to perform
heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up
to the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle
in front too quickly, Porsche Active
Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual
warnings. In addition, the system briefly
jerks the brakes and if necessary
initiates target braking, with any braking
pressure applied by the driver being
increased within certain system limits.

Powerful, functional, and easy to use.
Isn’t that how everything in a Porsche is supposed to be?
Audio and communication.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Including Navigation Module
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) is standard equipment in the
new 911 Turbo models. PCM is your
control center for audio, navigation,
and communication functions.
The main feature is the intuitive 7-inch
color touchscreen. Or you can choose
to operate PCM using conventional
rotary push-but ton controls. With a
maximum of five list items per page, the screen display is very clearly
presented. Radio functions include
up to 42 memory presets and an FM
twin-tuner frequency diversity with
RDS, which continuously scans in
the background for the best signal.
The DVD audio drive plays CDs and
audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible.
Audio playback of video DVDs
is also supported. A 6-disc CD/
DVD changer integrated into
PCM is available as an option.
The standard universal audio interface
(AUX) USB port in the glove compartment
enables you to connect your iPod
® or
any audio source. Recharging is also
supported. Once connected, your
iPod
® or USB stick is then conveniently
and safely operated via the PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel,
or the optional voice-control system.
Podcasts and audiobooks are recognized
and played and cover art is displayed.
The navigation module in PCM allows you to choose bet ween a 2-D display and
a 3-D perspective. In some regions, it
is possible to display the terrain (with
a superimposed satellite map) and
buildings in 3-D. Split-screen mode
enables you to view t wo functions at
once, such as the current navigation
map and a list of symbols that
represent the next driving maneuver.
