Intelligent Power: Consumption Down Significantly, Performance Up Once Again
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is proudly presenting a new top model at the pinnacle of its broad range of production sports cars: The new Porsche 911 Turbo combines far-reaching innovations in technology wîth fine tuning and supreme refinement in design. All key features of this high-performance sports car have been significantly improved, the new 911 Turbo combining a substantial improvement in fuel efficiency and lower weight wîth more power, even higher speed, and enhanced driving dynamics.Particularly in terms of fuel economy and dynamic performance, the new top-of-the-range 911 from Zuffenhausen now stands out even more than before from its competitors in the market. Porsche's new top model will be presented to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show from 17 - 27 September.
The heart and highlight of the seventh generation of the Turbo is the new power unit displacing 3.8 litres and delivering maximum output of 500 bhp (368 kW). The first entirely new engine in the 35-year-history of the Turbo comes wîth features such as Direct Fuel Injection and Porsche's exclusive turbocharger wîth variable turbine geometry on a gasoline power unit. And as an option, the new six-cylinder may be combined for the first time wîth Porsche's seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (Double-Clutch Gearbox).
Models equipped wîth PDK are also available wîth a new, optional three-spoke §teering wheel wîth gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard §teering wheel wîth its proven shift buttons. Fitted firmly on the §teering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down. In conjunction wîth the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo both the gearshift paddle and the PDK §teering wheel wîth its shift buttons come wîth integrated displays for Launch Control and the Sport/Sport Plus mode, which are however designed differently on the two §teering wheels.The combination of PDK, Direct Fuel Injection and turbocharging ensures an unprecedented standard of efficiency, agility, responsiveness and performance, the Porsche 911 Turbo reducing CO2 emissions versus its predecessor by almost 18 per cent and therefore ranking unique in its §egmènt also in this respect. Depending on the configuration of the car, the new top model requires just 11.4 - 11.7 ltr/100 km (equal to 24.8 - 24.1 mpg imp) under the EÚ5 standard. And unlike most other cars in its §egmènt, the new Turbo remains even further below the crucial level of fuel consumption for gas guzzler tax in the ÚSA, the special tax imposed on cars wîth substantial fuel consumption. All this despite acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Top speed, in turn, is 312 km/h or 194 mph.

Porsche has traditionally put great emphasis on the efficiency of its cars, but the new flagship 911 will give a whole new meaning to its high performance label: while its acceleration, braking and handling capabilities make it a true super sports car, it will go about its business wîth a thriftiness that is equally remarkable and by no means the norm in its class.Combining technological innovations wîth clear-cut refinement for an even greater dynamic driving experience, Porsche AG will present its new flagship, the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo at the Frankfurt Motor Show September 17-27, 2009 in both Coupe and Cabriolet form.
The new Turbo features the first entirely new engine in its storied 35-year-history. The new flat-six boxer engine now displaces 3.8 liters and delivers 500 bhp, an increase of .2 liters and 20 bhp from the previous model. Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), a new expansion intake manifold first seen on the GT2 and Porsche's exclusive turbocharger system wîth variable turbine geometry (VTG) lead the innovations. Maximum torque is up by 15, to 516 lb. ft. when equipped wîth the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
The Sport Chrono Package Turbo allows the 2010 911 Turbo to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds when combined wîth the new, highly acclaimed Porsche-Doppelkupplung, or PDK seven-speed transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Also included in the Sport Chrono Package Turbo is Porsche's innovative dynamic engine mounts. Introduced earlier this year on the 2010 GT3, the new mounts utilize magnetic fluid that automatically adjusts for comfort or sport, depending on the driving conditions. Top track speed is 194 mph for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models.This combination of technology and evolution ensures an unprecedented standard of efficiency and performance.
The new 911 Turbo reduces CO2 emissions by almost 18 per cent compared to its predecessor while using significantly less fuel. (concept carz) Official EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available.
A new, optional three-spoke §teering wheel wîth gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard §teering wheel wîth its proven shift buttons is also available for PDK equipped Turbos. Mounted directly on the §teering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down.Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) can now enhance the standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management (PSM). This new optional system includes a mechanical limited slip differential and actively distributes power between the rear wheels, making the car even more agile and precise in corners for an even higher level of driving pleasure.
The 2010 Turbo Coupe and Turbo Cabriolet go on sale January 2010. Ú.S. pricing is $132,800 and $143,800 respectively.Source - Porsche
