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.

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.

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.

Sport Button
Standard on all new 911 Turbo models,
the Sport but ton enables you to select
a suspension setup to emphasize either
comfort or sport y performance. At
the push of a but ton, the electronic
engine management system switches
the engine mapping to offer an even
sharper response. In conjunction with
the Sport Chrono Package (standard
in the 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet), the overboost
function is then active and the dynamic
engine mounts become much firmer.
In Sport mode, PDK ensures that
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts happen sooner.
Coasting mode and the Auto Start
Stop function are deactivated.
Sport Chrono Package Including
Dynamic Engine Mounts
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is standard in
the 911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the new 911 Turbo. This
integrated system provides simultaneous
enhancement for the chassis,
including rear-axle steering, engine,
transmission, and aerodynamics.
The main features include a digital
and analog stopwatch mounted on the
dashboard, a performance display in the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system, the Sport Plus but ton,
and the overboost function.
Activate Sport Plus mode and here’s what
happens: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
suspension management, becomes more responsive. PASM and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC)—standard in the
new 911 Turbo S—switch to Sport Plus
mode for a firmer suspension set ting,
more direct steering while cornering, and
increased roll stabilization. The rear-axle
steering also reacts more directly—for
even more agile steering. As part of
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A),
the automatic adjustment of the front
and rear spoilers is also impacted in
the performance setting in Sport Plus
mode. So you can make full use of the
performance potential of your 911 Turbo.
In Sport Plus mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the car
i

s
still in Sport Plus mode. Although, for
safet y, it ’s still there in the background. With the Sport or Sport Plus but ton
active, under full acceleration, the
maximum boost pressure in the
lower and medium speed ranges
is now temporarily increased by
approximately
2 psi: the overboost.
Engine torque is also boosted
by 37 lb.-ft. for a short time—to
524 lb.-ft. in the 911 Turbo and the
911 Turbo Cabriolet. In the 911 Turbo S
models, it goes up to 553 lb.-ft.
The Sport Chrono Package has t wo
additional functions. The first is
Launch Control, which helps achieve
optimal acceleration from a standing
start. The second function is the
motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
Using this, PDK optimizes shift
points to the shortest possible shift
times for maximum acceleration.

The chassis on the new 911 Turbo
features a longer wheelbase and
an even wider track. But make no
mistake: The 911 Turbo is still about
shortening distances: bet ween entry
and exit, bet ween one cit y and the next,
bet ween you and driving pleasure.
Changes to the chassis dimensions on
the new 911 Turbo enable smoother high-
speed maneuvers and exceptionally high
levels of stability. Its cornering agility
can scarcely be described in words. The new rear-axle steering transforms
the cornering feel of the new
911 Turbo. Handling is much more
responsive at low speeds. And at
higher speeds, stabilit y is increased.
Other contributions to the 911 Turbo
driving experience are made by its
chassis control systems: Porsche
Stability Management (PSM), Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC), which is standard in the new
911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the 911 Turbo and
the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
Each of these systems is detailed
in the following pages. For now,
all you need to know is: Longer
and wider is a good thing.
Longer and wider, it still gets to the point in the shortest amount of
time possible.

It offers continuous adjustment of the
shock absorber’s damping force on each
wheel, based on current road conditions
and driving st yle. At the press of a but ton, the driver can
choose bet ween t wo modes. Normal
mode provides a blend of performance
and comfort. Sport mode has a much
firmer range of set tings. The system
responds to changing road conditions and/or driving st yle by continuously
varying the individual damping forces
within the parameters defined for the
selected setup mode, Normal or Sport.
Pitch and roll are reduced, while the
contact of each wheel with the road
is optimized. Porsche Active Suspension
M

anagement (PASM)
Included as standard equipment, Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM) is
an electronic active damping system.
The New 20-Inch 911 Tu rbo Wheel
On the 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo
Cabriolet, new 20-inch 911 Turbo
wheels are standard. The large wheel
size improves contact with the road,
and the wheels are forged aluminum to
reduce weight and unsprung masses.
The new 911 Turbo wheels are
one inch larger than those on the
predecessor. The exact specification
is 8.5J
x 2

0 wheels at the front
combined with 245/35 ZR 20 tires.
At the rear are 11J x 20 wheels
with 305/30 ZR 20 tires.
The New 20-Inch 911 Tu rbo S W heel
with Central Locking Device
These forged aluminum wheels painted
in black with a polished finish are
available as an option for the new
911 Turbo models and are standard
on the 911 Turbo S models. They are
especially light and are set ting standards
in driving comfort and performance—
as well as in design. With central
locking device including chrome-plated
trim with colored Porsche Crest. There are 9J x 20 wheels on the
front fit ted with 245/35 ZR 20 tires
and 11.5J x 20 wheels at the rear
with 305/30 ZR 20 tires.
A focal point is the anodized black
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.

With the new 911 Turbo models, our
engineers have pushed forward into
the extreme performance range. The
fact that the driver can remain quite
composed is also due to the answers
they have found to the questions about
sportiness, ergonomics, and comfort.
Interior
A Porsche interior is never frivolous,
always direct. In the new 911 Turbo,
clever technology and clear operating
logic allow the driver to experience
all that makes this the benchmark for
Porsche performance, as evident at once
from the ascending center console. In t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: Focus on the
driver. It ’s why the distance bet ween
the gear selector and steering wheel is
extremely short, and the operating logic
of systems such as the dual-zone air
conditioning or the suspension is clear
and uncomplicated. You shouldn’t have to
browse one submenu after another. You
should instead be able to concentrate on
what ’s singularly important: the road.
Materials of high qualit y define the sport y
character of each 911 Turbo model.
The standard Leather package includes
Leather seats, dashboard, and door and
side trims. Alcantara
® has proven its
worth in motorsport and is now standard
for the roof liner on the Coupe models.
The exclusive two-tone interior in Black
and Carrera Red is reserved especially
for the 911 Turbo S models. Dashboard,
center console, and door panel trim
strips in Carbon are standard in these
models (available as an option for the
911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet).
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige, and Yachting
Blue for the interior, there is a wide range
of other personalization options available, including two-tone color combinations
or special colors and materials such as
Carbon, Aluminum, or high-quality Wood.
Engineering that takes you forward: the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system with navigation module
and a high-resolution 7-inch color
touchscreen. PCM is your control
center for audio, navigation, and
communication functions. It’s fitted as
standard in the new 911 Turbo models.
