Dreamers. Idealists. Environmental activists. We are naturally proud of our engineers. The technology behind the 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo S models. The development of a 911 Turbo demands meticulous work. Often, that work goes unseen, but you can always feel it. Let’s start right at the beginning. Or should we say, at the rear. With the engine— the all-important heart of any 911 Turbo model. The performance credentials of the compact, lightweight power unit need no questioning. All models have an engine displacement of 3.8 liters. In the 911 Turbo models, the engine generates 500 horsepower and 480 lb.-ft. of torque. In the 911 Turbo S models, these figures are an even more impressive 530 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft., made possible by a modified valve-control system and an adaptation of the engine management. Responsible for such high efficiency are the two exhaust gas turbochargers with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) and VarioCam Plus, as well as technologies such as Direct Fuel Injection (DFI, page 29) and the expansion intake manifold (page 37), which has turned all · 9 · previous principles about air supply for turbocharged engines completely upside down. With DFI, mixture formation takes place entirely in the combustion chamber. The metered fuel is injected directly with millisecond precision. The result is an optimal mixture for combustion and, consequently, more power, more torque, and increased efficiency. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, page 39), fitted as standard on 911 Turbo S models and available as an option for 911 Turbo models, is based on a Porsche development that caused a sensation on the world’s racetracks back in the 1980s when it was fitted into Porsche race cars. PDK, with both manual shift and automatic mode, has two halfgearboxes incorporated into one housing and a total of seven forward gears and two clutches.
Gear changing is completed in a matter of milliseconds, with no interruption in the flow of power. Compared with a conventional manual gearbox, PDK significantly improves acceleration while reducing fuel consumption. In comparison with the automatic gearbox in the previous model, PDK delivers even more driving pleasure through increased responsiveness and thus greater agility, but with no loss of comfort and a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In conjunction with PDK, the SportDesign steering wheel with gearshift paddles is fitted as standard on 911 Turbo S models and is available on request for 911 Turbo models. The further-enhanced active all-wheel-drive system, Porsche Traction Management (PTM, page 45), ensures outstanding traction and vehicle dynamics. · 10 · The 911 Turbo concept | Technology 911 Turbo Giving dynamic performance a further boost is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV, page 47). Standard on 911 Turbo S models and optional for 911 Turbo models, it distributes variable amounts of drive torque to each rear wheel. Porsche Stability Management (PSM, page 53) and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM, page 50) are standard across the
