Supercar Performance Heralds World Premiere of 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo

The new Porsche 911 Turbo features a revolutionary 480-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter boxer engine with the world’s first gasoline-engine application of variable turbine geometry (VTG), a redesigned all-wheel-drive system, and evolutionary styling.

The new 911 Turbo’s engine produces 480 hp at 6,000 rpm, 60 bhp more than its predecessor, raising specific output of the 3.6-liter boxer-Six to an all-time high of 133 bhp per liter. More notable is the engine’s torque curve, which has been bolstered and broadened by the variable turbine geometry system. Peak torque rises to 457 lb-ft (previously 415 lb-ft), but that peak now spans an extended rpm range from 1,950 to 5,000 rpm, compared to 2,700--4,600 rpm in the previous 911 Turbo. Additionally, a function in the optional Sport Chrono Package allows a 10-second, mid-rpm-range ‘overboost’, temporarily increasing turbo boost under full throttle by 2.9 psi, and swelling peak torque to 502 lb-ft.

A 911 Turbo equipped with the optional 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission requires only 3.4 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph. Equipped with the standard six-speed manual transmission, the new 911 Turbo reaches the same 60 mph mark in 3.7 seconds. With either gearbox, the top track speed of the new 911 Turbo is 193 mph.

Much of the 911 Turbo’s improved performance can be attributed to the variable turbine geometry system, the first such system available on a turbocharged gasoline engine. The heart of the technology is adjustable guide blades, which can vary in angle to most effectively guide engine exhaust flow onto the turbocharger’s impeller wheel. The result is a system that provides the advantages of both a small and large turbocharger, improving flexibility and acceleration, particularly at low engine speeds.

To transfer this power to the road, the new 911 Turbo features a redesigned all-wheel-drive system, with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch replacing the previous model’s viscous clutch. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) allows variable power distribution fore and aft, and depending on conditions, the system’s electronics constantly determine optimal torque distribution to ensure ideal traction. In use, PTM provides exceptional agility on winding roads, outstanding traction in inclement conditions, and impressive active safety even at higher speeds. Though powerful, the 911 Turbo’s PTM setup is one of the lightest all-wheel-drive systems on the market.

The new 911 Turbo’s accelerative performance is duly tempered by its brake system, which is comprised of six-piston monobloc calipers up front, and four-piston monobloc calipers at the rear. Brake disc diameter at all four corners has been increased 20 mm, to 350 mm (13.78 in.). Optional is Porsche’s Ceramic Composite Brake system (PCCB). In addition to the exotic pad and rotor material, the PCCB option provides an increased front disc diameter (380 mm /14.96 in.), absolute corrosion resistance, improved fade stability, and a 37-pound unsprung-weight savings versus the standard brake system.

Styling changes made to the new 911 Turbo are evolutionary. The modified front end features tautly drawn cooling air inlets, widely spaced and deep-set fog lights, and new LED indicators situated in the lateral air inlets. From the rear, the Turbo takes on a more powerful stance thanks to a tail 22 mm (0.9-in.) wider than that of the previous model. The redesigned wing spoiler has been aligned to the wider profile, and slopes downward slightly at each end to nestle the rear fender’s contours. The lateral air inlets behind the doors have also been redrawn, and together with the new air ducts, afford a more efficient supply of cooling air to the intercoolers.

The 2007 911 Turbo goes on sale this summer in North America.


I wonder if Wodin or Pittsbull will get one!
 
What I find funny and amazing at the same time is the fact that the car is faster with the Tiptronic than std. tranny (3.7 vs. 3.9). That's unusual for a Porsche because their slushbox have always sucked and taken a good 0.5+ on the 0-60. Cant wait to see the specs of the Turbo S or the GT2.

from what i read there will be no more GT models. there will be a turbo S that is supposed to be 510 hp. that will probably run 0-62 mph in about 3.2-3.3 seconds.

LOL @ anyone who has soemthing that can go 190 in hte US


i knew a couple of porsche owners and they would take it to a race track. one of them tried to explain to me something called open toe driving. still really don't understand it.

was it minnesota or montana several years ago that had a no speed limit on their highways? but they did away with it because crazy ass germans were flying into there so they can go as fast as they want because half of the autobaun now has a speed limit. but the douches got carried away and caused really bad accidents and they put speed limit again.

GT3 is coming in september but of course, it's less powerful (NA only, no turbo) and is a track car mostly. Didnt know about the GT2...

It looks like a really amazing piece of engineering, just not my type of vehicle. IF you buy an extra one, I'll drive it though.

Dunno nothing about no speed limits, that'd be cool though.
 
I have a black '87 928 with now 20016 miles
the "shark" of the 80s
 
when I load up a full front mounted intercooler
upgrade the factory injectors from 550cc
and change the ECU
it won't be close
and those are moderate upgrades,I've done others
98 turbo supra I bought new
280 made

no, really for a time it was no speed limit on certain roads. but them crazy germans ruined it, believe it or not. in germany they have people who work on porsches so they can go over 200mph and the crazy nuts go over 200mph on the autobahn. the only way i'm going over 200mph is on a track or that place where they broke the world record speed of like 660 mph or whatever it was. but it is always cool to know your car could go 200mph if you wanted to, but you rather not.
 
108000 miles
on my 11th set of rear tires
and really I drive conservatively until the open road

4Eva: You took the gay ass wing off ?
yeah I spun out after some recent mods going uphill
repainted her entirely and took off the ghetto wing
I had already replaced the head lamps to european glass and that wasn't cheap
but shit I see late model mercedes,lexus et.al. with "fogged" headlights
wtf?
that white trash look isn't happening on mine supra
I'm keeping the car forever
next up is my grandfather's '64 corvette
44000 miles and my uncle owns it
for now

You mean HID/bi-xenon headlights ? Well it does a great job, seriously there's a huge difference between regular headlamps and xenon. Problem is, most aftermarket kits dont come with the ballasts so you'll end up pissing off everyone. Your ride looks clean !

how fast it go?
a buck 60 and it's limited
for those of you with some conservatism
it's dicey to go 160 on an interstate for much beyond a mile or so
straight is straight
but when you're moving at better than 2.5 miles per minute you will run up on other traffic in that minute
not something you want to do often
think about it
at 150+ you pass another 70-80MPH car as if they are sitting still
you're gone in an instant

hell no
and i disagree about the value of that xenon illumination
yeah sure it's "better",but it's annoying to opposite drivers and somewhat blinding and/or distracting
my car has 3 bulbs
one on
a second for fog
and the third for fully bright
I use my little small bulbs 90% of the time(obviously at night)
occassionally I'll use the other smog bulbs when I need it
full on bright which switches to my big bulbs is rare
I'm part of the pack that keeps my lights as low as I need because your lighting really screws the opposing driver
of course I dim
but 90% of the time at night I operate with my basic two
those BMW drivers with their HID lights or whatever are just assholes

lol my brother is 17 and drives with the 6 100 watt off road lights of his on all the time on his jeep.

it's scary even if you are doing 100mph and somebody is going 70mph in the left lane. i'm totally anti speeding on public roads unless there is absolutely nobody around and you know the roads like the back of your hand. at high speeds those little turns aren't little anymore either. i would hate to be on the speed limitless section of the autobahn with the maniac germans.

I've gone through that "curve" at 155 and it was tight
my funeral home picked up a guy who died in a ferrari
same curve
he was 160+
I know because there was a trailin ferrari that witnessed his loss of control
and two guys on bikes that were leading the challenge
I was in los angeles when this wreck happened
my father and my right hand man did the removal
sad story
