2013 PORSCHE 911 TURBO four wheel drive

1516
To Porsche engineers, the 911 Turbo
has always been about turning the
theoretical into the phenomenal.
It has been relentless work, with
countless long hours over the
decades spent seeking incremental
improvements, fighting for every gram
of weight reduction, every increase in
horsepower, and every split second of
speed. Each breakthrough has pushed
the limits of possibilit y, and each stage
has established the next starting point. Once again we have arrived at an
entirely new 911 Turbo, with more
power than that of previous models:
520 horsepower at 6000 – 6500 rpm
and a maximum torque of 487 lb.-ft.
The sprint from 0 – 60 mph can be
achieved in as lit tle as 3.2 seconds.
The optional Sport Chrono Package
reduces this figure even more:
to just 3.0 seconds. And the new
911 Turbo now uses Porsche Active
Aerodynamics (PA A) to dynamically
optimize the level of traction at speed.The power of its new 3.8-liter
twin-turbo engine combined with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
and active all-wheel-drive Porsche
Traction Management (PTM)
results in a new 911 Turbo with a
top track speed of 195 mph.
A trio of technologies help the new
911 Turbo balance handling precision
with ride comfort. They feature new
rear-axle steering, Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM), and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV
Plus) including rear differential lock. At each corner of the new 911 Turbo
are 20-inch, 10-spoke wheels in a
unique two-tone combination.
The interior follows one clear line:
sport y, yet comfortable. Leather
trim is standard as are the Power
Sport Seats including electric
steering-column adjustment.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module brings
all information together clearly and
has intuitive controls. The Bose
®
Surround Sound System enhances the
typical Porsche melody with another
impressive symphonic experience.
Four decades of refinement.
Distilled down into a mere three seconds.

The 911 Turbo S comes standard with
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC). Together with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM)—a
system that electronically adjusts the
firmness of the shock absorbers—and
Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM), it
ensures that the 911 Turbo S sets new
standards in terms of chassis control.Composure is also generated by the
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
(PCCB). This high-performance braking
system first proved its stopping power
and durabilit y on the racetrack and is
now standard on the 911 Turbo S.
In the 911 Turbo S interior, exclusive
materials create a unique impression:
the two-tone Leather interior package
in Black and Carrera Red. The interior trim in Carbon. The door-entry guards
with the “ turbo S” logo. The Adaptive
Sport Seats Plus with 18-way adjustment,
driver seat memory, and Leather-covered
backrest shell with double seam.
High levels of comfort are provided
by other standard features, including
cruise control, front and rear ParkAssist,
and the new LED headlights in
conjunction with the Porsche Dynamic
Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).The new 911 Turbo S is identifiable
at the rear by the “ turbo S” logo and
the dark chrome tailpipe trim, and
at the side by the new SportDesign
exterior mirrors with V-shaped
base. At all four corners forged
20 -inch 911 Turbo S wheels are
highlighted by a central locking device
perfected on Porsche race cars.
Performance that generates composure.
At Porsche, it ’s not a paradox. It ’s
standard in the new 911 Turbo S.

The power of air.
As applied by Porsche.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet.
The 911 Turbo is an exercise in
exploiting the power of air. The new
911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo
S

Cabriolet? All the more so.
The newly developed fabric cabriolet
top and electric wind deflector in the
911 Turbo Cabriolet models provide the
best conditions for plent y of fresh air.
The key points: They are convenient and
quick to operate, create lit tle drag while
driving, and there is minimal wind noise.
And now, for the first time in a Turbo
Cabriolet, the 911 silhouette is just as
unmistakable as in a 911 Turbo Coupe. Both models are driven by a 3.8-liter
t win-turbo engine. In the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet, it develops 520 horsepower
at 6000 – 6500 rpm and a maximum
torque of 487 lb.-ft. The top track
speed is 195 mph and it reaches its
60 -mph mark in just 3.3 seconds.
With an additional 40 horsepower, the
engine in the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet
delivers even more, specifically:
560 horsepower bet ween 6500 and
6750 rpm. The maximum torque, with
overboost, is 553 lb.-ft., enabling
a top speed of 197 mph and a breathtaking sprint from 0–60 mph
in a mere 3.0 seconds.
The enhanced Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) transmission is precise and direct,
transmit ting power to all four wheels
via the active all-wheel-drive capabilities
of Porsche Traction Management
(PTM). Rear-axle steering helps further
the aim of handling precision.
Another way to tap the power of air?
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A).
It ’s an innovation Porsche developed
for the racetrack, where rapid changes
in downforce dynamics can poise a challenge to high-speed stabilit y. The
solution is the active adjustment of the
front and rear spoilers to constantly
optimize aerodynamic downforce
over the front and rear axles.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet boasts 20 -
inch two-tone wheels as standard, while
on the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, 20 -inch
t wo -tone 911 Turbo S wheels with central
locking device are standard. All wheels
are forged and polished on the front.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models: our
new benchmark for open-top driving.

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.

central locking devices. Derived from
Porsche’s motorsport experience,
they deliver an even-more agile driving
experience by reducing rotating masses.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
is included as standard equipment in
all models. It warns against low tire
pressure or slow or sudden pressure loss.
The driver is informed via the onboard
computer display. And the pressures
of all four tires can be checked at any
time from the instrument cluster.

Responsibility | Brakes
1 Standard brakes in the 911 Turbo
Why has Porsche always viewed braking
performance with the same enthusiasm
we share for our engines and chassis?
Perhaps it is because we think of braking
as negative acceleration. For us, braking
response and the stopping distances
achieved by the new 911 Turbo models
should be every bit as breathtaking as
our throt tle response and acceleration
times. A Porsche 911 Turbo model’s
goal is nothing less than to be the
new reference point for sports car
braking. The braking performance must
provide the driver ample reassurance
that when speed needs to be shed,
the brakes will respond accordingly. In the new 911 Turbo and the new
911 Turbo Cabriolet, the brake
specification is suited to the demands
of high performance. The brake disc
diameter is 380 mm front and rear.
Grabbing hold of the front discs are
powerful 6-piston, aluminum monobloc
fixed calipers finished in red. At the
rear, 4-piston, aluminum monobloc fixed
calipers press the pads to the disc.
The brake calipers have an enclosed
monobloc construction. This makes them
tougher but lighter and enables a more
rapid response and release of the brake,
even under extreme loads. The pedal
travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are cross-drilled for
better performance in wet conditions.
Other benefits of the braking system
include the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), designed to minimize brake fade
and keep braking response constant.
Pedal effort is reduced and braking
response improved by a tandem
vacuum brake booster. Brake-disc
cooling is optimized by air spoilers.
Electric Parking Brake
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
A performance isn’t finished until it comes to a complete stop.
Brakes.
With the hill-hold function, you can pull
away without ever rolling back. The
system automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill
gradient, requiring intervention. PSM
then maintains the brake pressure at
all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.

models) or Leather (911 Turbo S models).
Rear Seats
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car. And the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Turbo Coupe increases to
9.2 cubic feet, providing plent y of space
for luggage. You have 5.5 cubic feet in
the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models.
Power Sport Seats
When it comes to seating, the goals of
high performance are t ypically at odds
with the desire for comfort. But the seats
in the new 911 Turbo manage to serve
both goals equally well. The Sport seats
that are standard in the new 911 Turbo
and the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet offer
full power adjustment of seat height,
backrest angle, seat cushion angle, and
seat cushion depth, as well as fore/aft
position, and four-way lumbar support.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all
seat positions on the driver’s side as
well as set tings for the steering wheel,
lights, wipers, air conditioning, door
locks, PCM, and instrument cluster.
lateral support on winding roads.
Also included is the personal memory
for all seat positions (apart from the
side bolsters) and lumbar support
on the driver’s side as well as the
positions of the steering wheel and
exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports set tings for the lights,
wipers, air conditioning, door locks,
PCM, and instrument cluster.
Sport Seats Plus
Available as an option, at no extra
cost, are Sport Seats Plus in Leather
with power seat height and backrest
adjustment as well as mechanical fore/
aft adjustment. The side bolsters on
the seat cushion and backrest have
a firmer, sportier padding and offer
excellent lateral support. The backrest
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
For maximum sports performance,
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus are standard
in the new 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet. The firm, sport y
padding of the side bolsters and
additional shoulder supports provides
the best possible hold. And with 18-way
electric adjustment, the seats can be
optimally adapted to meet your needs
in terms of seat height, seat cushion
and backrest angle, seat cushion
length, fore/aft adjustment, and four-
way lumbar support. The steering
column is also electrically adjustable.
In addition, the side bolsters on the
seat cushion and backrest can be
adjusted independently for added
comfort on long journeys and precision
Child Seats
LATCH child seat preparation
including top tether is available
for the rear seats as standard.
Seat Heating and Seat Ventilation
Seat heating is available for all seats
as an option at no extra charge. Seats
are heated in the seat cushion, the
backrest, and, for the front seats,
the side bolsters. In conjunction with
seat heating, we can equip the seats
with seat ventilation on request. A slipstream effect is produced by active
ventilation of the perforated seat center
and backrest and by passive aeration
at the side bolsters. This evaporates
perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
