Porsche 997 911 Turbo Facelift

The new Porsche 911 Turbo is here.

Or, at least, the press release for the upcoming 911 Turbo is out to tell us what's in store for the next version of Porsche's top performing model. The new 911 Turbo itself will premiere at the Frankfurt motor show in September.

Porsche claims to have upgrade most key features of the car, not the least of which is the new 3.8 liter, six-banger powerplant with direct-injection and Porsche's proprietary turbocharger with "variable turbine geometry". Now coupled with Porsche's 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission (optional), the 911 Turbo sports significant improvements in performance and fuel economy. The engine's final horsepower tally comes in at 500 bhp (368 kW).

What are those performance numbers? 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h or 194 mph.

Fuel economy: 11.4 liters/ 100 km.

Do a quick ' for and against' calculus and that fuel efficiency number is satisfying given the performance to be had here.

Models equipped with the PDK will also be available with a 3-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles, instead of the standard wheel with shift buttons.

The luxury sportscar-maker has also improved handling and agility with tweaks to the all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management systems. A new PTV (Porsche Torque Vectoring) is also available as an option.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo, in both coupe and cabriolet variants, goes on sale in Germany on November 21st. Prices in Germany for both are 145,871 and 157,057 euros (for the coupe and cabrio), respectively.

Fuck me, that's gorgeous. They can't improve upon this. They have to change it up for the next generation.

I love how solid the aluminum looks in the interior. I also love what they did with the rear. The GT3 still has the better looking front imo.

Nice.

They went with the "no nuts" GT3 style wheels too.

Paddles>Buttons.

With PDK that thing is going to have to be near the low 3 second 0-60 range. Porsches numbers are always heavy.



Still lean GT3 all day. 6speed has guys who are already modding the crap out of them. Shifters/clutch-flywheel/exhaust.

Looked at a black/black 10' GT3 and now I cannot sleep.

It should be a wicked car with PDK and 516 lb/ft of torque on overboost. It almost makes me want to cancel my gt3 order, not really.

The paddles are wheel mounted, not column mounted.

Make mine a GT3 as well, but this car is dead sexy.

So, the GT1 is on its death bed, very sad.

We'll see if this new engine can take the abuse that the old one could.

People at 6speed are saying the new engine won't be as durable as the GT1...

Either way, car is stunning. However, a GT3 would be in my garage.

And Alois Ruf is the person who told them that, so it's almost certainly true. That sucks.
