In 2006, Dr. Ing. H.c. Porsche will extend it’s existing item line with the addition of a new 911 Turbo, the sixth generation of the 911 series. This leading-of-the-assortment model will have its globe premiere at the Geneva Motor Display on February 28, 2006 and as from June 24, 2006 it will be accessible in German dealerships.

The 911 Turbo (kind 997) has a couple of enhancements. It has an output of 480 bhp at 6,000 rpm, a three.6 litre engine, a rated torque of 620 Nm and a maximum torque offered in between 1,950 and 5,000 rpm. All those numbers are translated into driving efficiency, as the 911 Turbo with six-speed manual transmission only requirements three.9 seconds to get from zero to 100 km/h. The coupe reaches 200 km/h in 12.8 seconds. In spite of those functionality statistics, Porsche developers succeeded to maintain the typical consumption to 12.8 liters per100 km.

For these who require even much more speed, the 911 Turbo provides 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. Each manual and automatic transmissions have a top rated speed of 310 km/k. Obtainable for the 1st time, the optional “Sport Chrono Package Turbo” enhances the automobile’s flexibility even more.

The Porsche 911 Turbo capabilities a redesigned all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch. The outcome will be the transfer of the offered energy to the road. That’s due to the fact, dependent on the driving problems, this method will establish the optimal torque distribution to make certain the top-potential drive. Too, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) assures variable energy distribution to the 2 driven axles. This implies that on the road the 911Turbo will prove excellent traction in the rain or snow, higher agility on narrow nation roads and optimal active security even at substantial 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 at the front axle and 4 at the rear. The diameter of the internally ventilated and perforated brake discs at the front and rear wheels is 350 millimeters. An optimized ceramic brake technique that Porsche presents is Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). This large-tech program decreases with 17 kilograms the common brake technique and presents an outstanding fading stability.

The main bodywork alter of the 911 Turbo is the modified front end with its distinctive, tautly drawn cooling air inlets. Combined with the regular oval bi-xenon headlights, it will define the new unmistakable image. From the rear viewpoint as well, the Turbo will appear additional potent. This is due initial and foremost to its tail end, 22 millimeters wider than that of the prior model, to which the redesigned wing spoiler element has been aligned.

Secondly, the lateral air inlets behind the doors have been redrawn and now they offer a a lot more effective offer of cooling air to the charge-air intercoolers.

The fundamental cost for the 911 Turbo is 115,000 Euros. In the USA, from July 8, 2006, the car will be obtainable at $122,000 (not which includes taxes).
