Porsche 911 turbo

911
 


The 911 Turbo is one of the best known and most coveted Porsche models on the market, with its origin tracing back to 1974.

New for the latest model year are a handful of key changes, including a more powerful - and yet - more fuel efficient engine. This entirely new engine - the first in the Turbo's storied history - is comprised of a new 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder, which is 13.2 lbs lighter than its predecessor, which boasts twin turbochargers and Porsche's Variable Turbine Geometry technology. The engine also gained direct fuel injection - adding to the increased power output and reduced emissions.

Horsepower is rated at 500 - up 20 from the previous model, while max torque comes in at 56 lb-ft when the Sport Chrono Package is added. Fuel economy is up 13 percent, to a combined rating of 21 mpg (17 city, 25 highway).

Acceleration from zero-to-60 mph blasts by in just 3.2 seconds with the seven-speed PDK dual clutch transmission, with a top track speed of 194 mph.

Base price of 911 turbo is $137,500
