The first turbocharged modification of the "911" was released back in 9173 (exactly ten years after the premiere of the "original"). Since then, the "turbo sports car" has come a long way, and in May 2013, the premiere of its next (sixth) incarnation took place in Moscow - which, traditionally, became: even more powerful, even more technological and, of course, even more expensive. In addition to "just Turbo", the supercar is also presented in an even more extreme version - which received the prefix "S" in the name.
The January exhibition in Detroit, held in 2016, became the platform for the premiere of the updated "Turbo-family" of the "991" generation - externally, the cars changed in the same way as the base models, having received: tweaked bumpers, engine compartment cover and optics, and also "armed" with even more powerful engines.
The striking external difference between the Turbo versions and the classic Porsche 911 lies in the presence of a rear active (retractable) wing, as well as in a more aerodynamic body kit, which also includes such an important detail as a front spoiler with three pre-programmed positions. In addition, on the road, the two-door can be recognized by its widened hips, all-LED optics and matching nameplates.
"Turbocharged" Porsche 911s are offered in two body versions - a two-door coupe and a convertible with a soft top.
In length, the car reaches 4507 mm, its wheelbase extends to 2450 mm, and the width and height of the body are 1880 mm and 1297 mm (in the open version - 3 mm less), respectively. The curb weight of the "German" varies from 1595 to 1670 kg, depending on the modification.
We will not talk a lot about the interior, since there are practically no fundamental differences from the "regular 911", and during the modernization there have been no fundamental changes - the 911 Turbo salon, as before, can boast: a high level of equipment, unsurpassed quality of finishing and the presence of true a sporty spirit that is typical of all Porsche cars.
Specifications. The Porsche 911 Turbo has two petrol powertrain options:
- The "basic version" is powered by an all-aluminum boxer "six" with a volume of 3.8 liters with a dry sump, two Borg Warner turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, a 24-valve timing, direct injection and a system for adjusting valve timing and valve travel, producing 540 "stallions" at 6400 rpm and 710 Nm of peak torque at 1950-5000 rpm.
- "Esca" is equipped with the same engine, but boosted by turbochargers with increased compressors up to 580 horsepower at 6750 rpm and 750 Nm of torque at 2250-4000 rpm.
The only gearbox available for both modifications of the Porsche 911 Turbo is a modified 7-band "robot" PDK with two clutches, which mates with an all-wheel drive transmission.
As a result, the sports car "catapults" from standstill to 100 km / h in 2.9-3.1 seconds and is capable of accelerating to a maximum of 320-330 km / h.
In mixed mode, the car "digests" from 9.1 to 9.3 liters of fuel for every "hundred" of the run.
It is worth noting that before the restyling, the "Turbo-version" produced 520 "horses" and 660 Nm of available potential, and the more capable version of the "Turbo S" produced 560 "horses" and 700 Nm.
The suspension of the "turbocharged" 911s is no different from the "classic Porsche 911". An independent structure is installed at the front on the trailing and transverse levers with shock absorbers, and at the rear there is a multi-link suspension with a subframe.
By default, the "German" is equipped with a system for adjusting the stiffness of the shock absorbers, and the more productive version also has a roll suppression technology.
The "basic version" of the sports car uses a powerful braking system with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers and ventilated discs with a diameter of 380 mm "in a circle". The "esque" has even more "hardy" brakes: in front it is equipped with 410 mm "pancakes", and at the back - 390 mm.
Regardless of the modification, the two-door "flaunts" an electromechanical power steering with variable characteristics and a steering impulse.
Options and prices. In the Russian market, the Porsche 911 Turbo in 2017 is offered at a price of 11,947,000 rubles, and for the "Turbo S" they ask for a minimum of 13,581,000 rubles (open versions of a sports car cost 12,629,000 and 14,263,000 rubles, respectively).
In the "base" the car has: 20-inch "rollers", ABS, ABD, ASR, MSR, a system for adjusting the stiffness of shock absorbers, fully LED optics, heated and electric front seats, a multimedia system, a dual-zone "climate" and the darkness of other modern systems.
