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.

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.

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.
3536 Power | Transmission
To make something happen,
you have to be able to convey your principles.
Transmission.
1 Power transmission in 1st gear
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
All of the new 911 Turbo models
feature the enhanced PDK transmission
with manual and automatic modes.
Porsche engineers have yet again
increased the speed and smoothness
of gear shifts. For the driver, this
means even faster shifting through
the gears without interrupting the flow of power. Acceleration
is exceptional, fuel consumption
is optimized, and performance is
delivered at a high level of comfort.
PDK has seven gears at its disposal.
Gears 1 through 6 have a sport ratio
and top speed is reached in 6th gear.
The 7th gear has a long ratio and
helps to reduce fuel consumption
by keeping engine revs low.
PDK is essentially t wo transmissions in
one. This double-clutch arrangement
provides an alternating, non-positive
connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means
of t wo separate input shafts.
The flow of power from the engine is
transmit ted through one half gearbox
and one clutch at a time, while the
next gear is preselected in the second
half gearbox. During a gear change, one clutch simply opens and the other
closes at the same time, enabling shifts
to take place within milliseconds.
Depending on the gearshift program
(Sport button activated or deactivated),
the shift of gears is optimized for
comfort or for sporty driving.With the optional Sport Chrono Package
(standard in the 911 Turbo S models),
PDK is enhanced by the Launch
Control and motorsport-derived
gearshift strategy functions.

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.

1 Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(P

P
lus) Including Electronic Rear
D
ifferential Lock
PT V Plus is standard on all new
911 Turbo models: The system actively
enhances vehicle dynamics and
stability and operates, in conjunction
with an electronic rear differential lock, by varying the distribution of
torque applied to the rear wheels.
By constantly monitoring steering
angle and steering speed, accelerator
pedal position, yaw rate, and vehicle
speed, PT V Plus is able to improve
steering response and steering precision by specific braking of
the right or left rear wheel.
Here’s how it works: When the
911 Turbo is driven assertively into
a corner, moderate brake pressure
is automatically applied to the inside
rear wheel. Comparatively, the outside
rear wheel receives a greater amount of drive force distribution, inducing
an additional rotational pulse (yaw
movement) around the vehicle’s
vertical axis. This results in a direct
and sport y steering response as
the 911 Turbo enters the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds,
PTV Plus significantly increases
agilit y and steering precision. At high
speeds and when accelerating out of
corners, the rear differential lock, with
infinitely variable torque distribution,
ensures greater driving stability.The system thus interacts with Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) to improve
driving stabilit y on a range of surface
conditions, including water and snow.
What does all this mean for the
911 Turbo driver? Outstanding traction,
as well as greater agilit y at every
speed with precise steering and
stable load transfer characteristics.
In other words, unrivaled driving
pleasure at every t wist and turn.

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.
