Porsche 911 Turbo
February 25th, 2011In 2006, Dr. Ing. H.c. Porsche will extend it’s current product line with the addition of the new 911 Turbo, the sixth generation on the 911 series. Cadillac center caps. This top-of-the-range model will have its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on February 28, 2006 and as from June 24, 2006 it are going to be obtainable in German dealerships.
The 911 Turbo (type 997) has a number of improvements. It has an output of 480 bhp at 6,000 rpm, a 3.6 litre engine, a rated torque of 620 Nm plus a maximum torque available among 1,950 and 5,000 rpm. All these numbers are translated into driving overall performance, as the 911 Turbo with six-speed manual transmission only wants three.9 seconds to get from zero to 100 km/h. The coupe reaches 200 km/h in 12.8 seconds. Despite these performance statistics, Porsche developers succeeded to maintain the averageconsumption to 12.8 liters per100 km.
For those who need even more pace, the 911 Turbo offers the optionally Tiptronic S automatic transmission. This way, it can reach 100 km/h from a standing begin in just three.7 seconds and 200 km/h in a mere 12.2 seconds. Both handbook and automatic transmissions have a top speed of 310 km/k. Offered for that initial time, the optional ‘Sport Chrono Package Turbo’ enhances the vehicle’s flexibility even further.
The Porsche 911 Turbo functions a redesigned all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch. The result will likely be the transfer on the out there energy for the road. That’s since, dependingon the driving conditions, this technique will determine the optimal torque distribution to make sure the best-possible drive. Also, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) ensures variable power distribution towards two driven axles. This means that about the road the 911Turbo will prove outstanding traction inside the rain or snow, large agility on narrow country roads and optimal active safety even at large speeds.
The new 911 Turbo’s driving overall performance is duly tempered by its brake program, which comprises monobloc fixed-caliper disc brakes with six pistons in the front axle and four in the rear. The diameter on the internallyventilated and perforated brake discs at the front and rear wheels is 350 millimeters. An optimized ceramic brake technique that Porsche offers is Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). This high-tech technique reduces with 17 kilograms the regular brake system and provides anexcellent fading stability.
The major bodywork alter in the 911 Turbo could be the modified front end with its distinctive, tautly drawn cooling air inlets. Combined with the standard oval bi-xenon headlights, it will define the new unmistakable image. Through the rear perspective too, the Turbo will seem a lot more effective. That is duefirst and foremost to its tail end, 22 millimeters wider than that from the previous design, to which the redesigned wing spoiler element has been aligned.
Secondly, the lateral air inlets behind the doors have been redrawn and now they provide a much more effective supply of cooling air towards charge-air intercoolers.
