Porsche 911 Turbo new pics
Porsche has released new images of the 911 Turbo restyling, and you can see it in more detail in the 911 Turbo video from the head of the R&D division. The Porsche 911 Turbo also, more attractively, recently completed the Nurburgring in 7’39”. The Turbo 911 will go on sale from the end of this year, with prices at 149,282 euros for the coupe and 160,562 euros for the cabrio.
New video: Porsche 911 Turbo technology
Porsche gives us a close-up tour of its new 911 Turbo in this video, where you can see the 3.9-litre engine up close. It delivers 500 hp and 650 Nm of torque in what Wolfgang Durheimer from the R&D division describes as the highlight in the Porsche model range. If you’re interested in the engine technology, this is a video to watch.
It also gives us an idea of performance, efficiency and weight reduction for driving dynamics (the rear wheels alone save two kilograms each of weight). The new 911 Turbo is definitely one very sweet package from Porsche, with everything we like best about smart and sensible German sportscar technology. Whether you drive it sensibly is up to you and that’s the beauty of it.
Porsche 911 Sport Classic and 911 Turbo Cabrio video
A new video of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic shows the design concepts in greater detail, from the front apron, to the modern interpretation of the wheel style and the new interior. It is intended for collectors only, and is described as a “concept car you can buy”. Before the Sport Classic close-up we see a 911 Turbo cabriolet driving the wet roads of Germany.
Porsche stand at Frankfurt: live pics of 911 Turbo, GT3 RS and Sport Classic
From the 911 Sport Classic to the 911 Turbo and GT3 RS, the Porsche stand at the Frankfurt motor show had so much on display we hardly knew where to look. New Porsche president Michael Macht made the presentation to the press, with plenty of space dedicated to the Panamera as well.
The 911 Turbo coupe and cabrio were on show, equipped with the new 3.8-litre twin turbo engine with direct injection and 500 hp. PDK transmission is included with the welcome modification of steering wheel paddles and program options of Sport, Sport Plus and Launch Control indicated. New features such as Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) have also been developed. The 911 Turbo can be recognised by the new titanium air intakes on the front bumper, LED lights, larger exhaust and new alloy wheels.
The 911 GT3 RS with the 3.8-litre was also presented, along with the GT3 Cup 2010 and the 911 Sport Classic. The GT3 RS has 15 hp more than the GT3, taking total power to 450 hp, thanks to modifications to the air intake system and a lighter weight of 1,370 kg. It has a new aerodynamic kit, lighter door panelling, roll bar, titanium exhaust, PASM electronic suspension system, Porsche Stability Management system and new alloy wheels. Maximum torque is 430 Nm at 6,750 rpm and the GT3 RS is only available with manual gearbox.
In addition to all this, from 2010, Porsche is introducing new optionals, in the form of a lithium ion battery for track use, which reduces weight by ten kilograms compared to the conventional lead battery. Front tyre mechanisms also allow for raising the wheelbase and a larger fuel tank of 90 litres is also available. For the real die-hard sports fans, you can forego air conditioning and the radio and while Porsche has a luxury name in terms of cup holders, get the Panamera. You won’t find any of them on the GT3 RS.

New Porsche 911 turbo video

2010 Porsche 911 turbo
The new Porsche 911 Turbo has a new engine and has been released as an even more powerful model than before. The current twin-turbo 3.6-litre engine has been substituted with the direct injection, 3.8-litre unit of the Carrera S.
Other modifications include updates to the fuel system and turbochargers themselves for an increase of 20 hp to a total of 493 hp. Porsche seems to be very focused on really delivering on the sports style of this new turbo with a new Traction Management system that delivers torque to the wheels through an electronic multiple-plate clutch.
Standard transmission is a six-speed manual gearbox, with a seven-speed twin-clutch PDK transmission available as an option. It will have full paddle shifts rather than the current shift function buttons in use. Alloy wheels are standard, with 19-inch RS Spyder options and a Sport Chrono package is also available.
