2013 PORSCHE 911 TURBO weight

910 911 Tu r b o | Design
A lot of designed objects make
a stunning debut. Very few
achieve lasting impact.
Design can only endure if form is not
just a shell. If form truly follows function,
then that object cannot—should not—
be any thing else. When that ideal is
realized, the result is something truly
timeless; something that will serve
as the essential reference point for
every thing that comes after it. There can be no doubt about the origin
of the new 911 Turbo. In its form,
proportions, and lines, it is clearly
evolved from all previous 911 Turbo
models. The changes are subtle yet
profound. The fenders are higher than
the front hood; the extra inch at the back
compared to previous models creates an
especially dynamic tension. Height and
overhangs have been reduced, while the
wheelbase is approximately four inches
longer, improving stability and stretching
the characteristic arc of the 911 roofline. The new 911 Turbo looks more
powerful, more agile, sportier.
An iconic feature of the 911 Turbo
is the rear aerodynamic wing. In the
new 911 Turbo, it ’s been completely
revised and, together with the
adaptive spoiler at the front, forms
the completely new Porsche Active
Aerodynamics (PA A) system.
The design of the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet is also resetting standards in
both form and function. The integrated
supporting magnesium elements of the
fabric top are light weight yet rigid to
help the Cabriolet retain the distinctive
form of the 911 when the top is up.
And at the same time, they help make
it extremely stable, to enhance the
structural rigidit y of the chassis that is
so essential to a Porsche sports car.

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.

Cabriolet Top
The fabric roof in the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models has been completely
revised. It uses three integrated
supporting elements made from
magnesium. Light yet strong, the
magnesium components make the top
extremely stable at high speeds—
without adding unnecessary weight.
The magnesium structure also creates a
top that is smooth and taut. The fabric
is close-fit ting and forms a line that is
even more elegant than in the previous
model. Yet the benefit is far from being
just superficial. The firm fabric roof of the
new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models helps
achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.31. The glass rear window is
scratch-re
sistant and heated. A
water
-de
flecting edge on the top
helps prevent rainwater from dripping
onto you when you open the doors.
The top is operated electrically by
a but ton in the center console, and
it opens or closes in approximately
13 seconds—at speeds of up to
31 mph. The top folds in a Z-shape so
the inside is always well-protected.
Inside, the roof is covered with
heat- and noise-insulating material,
resulting in uniform interior
temperatures and effective wind
noise suppression. What do you hear
instead? That unmistakable sound of
the Porsche Turbo exhaust note.
Electric Wind Deflector
Developed in a wind tunnel and made
for relative wind: The 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models come standard with
a new electric wind deflector. This
ensures that you can drive with the
top down with minimal wind noise,
and without sacrificing the car’s low
drag coefficient. You can extend and
retract the wind deflector at speeds
of up to 75 mph—at the press of a
but ton and in only t wo seconds. Manually fit ting and removing the wind
deflector is no longer necessary. It is
now integrated directly into the body and
rests behind the back seats, so it does
not need any additional space inside the
vehicle or in the luggage compartment
and is ready to use at any time.

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.

2728 Power | Engine
The new 911 Turbo engine adheres
to proven Porsche principles: rear-
mounted. With six cylinders and a total
displacement of 3.8 liters. And the
cylinders placed horizontally in two
opposite rows—what ’s referred to as
a “ flat-six” arrangement. It does not
deviate from this formula because the
typical Porsche “boxer” construction
and the rear-mounted position of the
engine create numerous advantages:
excellent balancing of masses as
dynamic loads change, a low-vibration
drive, and a low center of gravit y. But what ultimately transforms a Porsche
into a 911 Turbo are its t wo exhaust-
driven turbochargers. Together with
Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), the
intake manifold, and VarioCam Plus,
the forced induction of compressed
air into the cylinders creates stunning
performance. On paper or on pavement,
there is nothing like a Porsche 911 Turbo.
The new 911 Turbo and the
new 911 Turbo Cabriolet deliver
520 horsepower available between
6000 and 6500 rpm, and 487 lb.-ft. of torque bet ween 1950 and 5000 rpm
(a
nd briefly up to 524 lb.-ft. with the
overboost function that comes with
the optional Sport Chrono Package).
The 911 Turbo S models have
560 horsepower available between
6500 and 6750 rpm. The maximum
torque is 516 lb.-ft., from 2100 –4250 rpm.
And it can increase to 553 lb.-ft., thanks
to the overboost function that comes
with the Sport Chrono Package, which
is standard on Turbo S models. This is efficient performance, thanks
to intelligent innovations that keep
the vehicle weight low and make
optimal use of fuel. These include new
efficiency-enhancing measures such as
thermal management, electrical system
recuperation, the Auto Start Stop
function, and the coasting function.
The essential ingredients are familiar.
Yet transformation is phenomenal.
Engine.

2930 Power | Engine
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.

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.

1 Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
(PCCB)
How exactly does Porsche take its
motorsport experience and transfer
it from the racetrack to the road? The
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
(PCCB) are a clear example. Standard
equipment in the 911 Turbo S models
and available as an option for the
911 Turbo models, PCCB has already
had to cope with the harsh requirements
of motor racing and is fit ted in race
cars that compete in demanding events
such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The cross-drilled PCCB ceramic brake
discs have a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the back—for even
more formidable braking performance.
The use of 6-piston, aluminum monobloc
fixed calipers on the front axle and
4-piston, aluminum monobloc units
at the rear—all finished in yellow—
ensures extremely high brake forces
that remain exceptionally consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and track
conditions. Excellent fade resistance
guarantees greater balance when
slowing from highway speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs. Approximately 50 percent lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size, they enhance
performance and fuel economy.
Because this represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
masses, it yields many results: bet ter
roadholding and increased comfort,
particularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agility and improved handling.
