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.

Body
The innovative bodyshell of the new
911 Turbo models fulfills t wo structural
design requirements: first, excellent
driving dynamics due to the body’s
extremely high rigidit y. Second, a
savings in vehicle weight, primarily due
to its intelligent lightweight construction.
To meet the second requirement, we
employed state-of-the-art techniques
for combining various materials in order
to utilize specific material properties
exactly where they are needed.
Take the bodyshell, for example. It uses
very thin—but extremely rigid—sheets
of steel. Aluminum and magnesium
were utilized extensively in areas
including the roof, underbody, doors,
engine compartment, and luggage compartment lids. Magnesium, which
is a particularly lightweight material,
was also selected for the cockpit
and center console support beam.
Reducing the overall weight—i.e.,
improving the power-to-weight ratio—
translates directly into the aim of
increasing performance, whether
that ’s measured by the acceleration,
steering, or braking. And it ’s measurable
another way, too: at the fuel pump.
Reduced fuel consumption.
For the driver, reducing the weight
of the 911 Turbo results in a high
level of comfort as well. Vibration-
damping characteristics are
excellent and, compared to the
previous model, torsional stiffness
has increased up to 25 percent to
create even sportier handling.
Airbags and the Po
rsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) System
The airbag technology in the new 911 Turbo
models provides full-size driver and front-
passenger airbags, which are inflated in t wo
stages depending on the severit y and t ype
of accident. In less serious accidents, the
airbags are only partially inflated to help
minimize discomfort to the occupants.
Another standard feature is the Porsche
Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system.
This system comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo
airbags on each side, an integral thorax
airbag located in each seat side bolster,
and a head airbag contained in each of
the door panels. Knee airbags are also
standard on all 911 Turbo models.
Rollover Protection in the
Cabriolet Models
Despite their light weight, the 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal, especially when
compared with driving most other open-
top sports cars on uneven road surfaces.
In the event of a 911 Turbo Cabriolet
model rolling over, additional protection
is provided by a supplemental safet y
roll bar protection system that deploys
automatically. The two spring-loaded
rollover bars are located behind
the back seats. The rollover sensor
continuously monitors the car’s pitch
and roll, lateral and longitudinal
acceleration, and contact with the road.
In an emergency, it deploys the rollover
bars within a fraction of a second.
