The new 911 Turbo surpasses expectations. It’s the first 911 Turbo with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). It’s the first with actively controlled all-wheel drive and it’s the first to reach 60 mph in a bone shattering 3.7 seconds. Altogether, it’s the most rewarding 911 Turbo yet.

Top Gear Porsche 911 Turbo and C4S

The engine’s boxer layout and 3.6-liter displacement remain unchanged; its power has improved markedly. It delivers 480 horsepower at 6000 rpm, and 460 lb.-ft. of torque at just 1950 rpm, with no reduction in torque up to 5000 rpm. Even more thrilling, this increased power is delivered in a lighter package. With its aluminum doors and trunk lid, the new 911 Turbo is 11 pounds lighter than its predecessor, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 7.28 lbs. /hp. With a standard manual gearbox, the new 911 Turbo reaches 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Equipped with the latest evolution of the Tiptronic S transmission, the car is actually 0.3 seconds quicker. It can reach the 124 mph (200 km/h) benchmark in just 12.8 seconds, or 12.2 seconds with Tiptronic S. To make the most of this potential, the new 911 Turbo features another innovation: our first actively controlled all-wheel drive system, with Porsche Traction Management. For even greater performance, you may choose to equip your 911 Turbo with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo. When engaged, it optimizes the car’s systems for maximum performance. This includes a turbo over boost function, which provides as much as 45 lb.-ft. of additional torque.

It’s an extremely fast car with a very powerful engine. It’s not hard to see why people still love it. For more information please click on the video.
