Porsche's new 2010 flagship 911 gives new meaning to its high performance label: while its acceleration, braking and handling capabilities make it a true super sportscar, it goes about its business with a thriftiness that is by no means the norm in its class.
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 horsepower, an increase of 0.2 liters and 20-hp from the previous model. Maximum torque is up by 15, to 516 lb.-ft. when equipped with 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 with the new, highly acclaimed Porsche-Doppelkupplung, or PDK seven-speed transmission. Top track speed is 194 mph.
A new, optional three-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard steering wheel with its proven shift buttons is also available for PDK equipped Turbos. Mounted directly on the steering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down.
Porsche Torque Vectoring can now enhance the standard Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management. 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.
