Drive 29
At Porsche, there are no conventions.
Forbidding free thought? That’s forbidden.
The only thing that matters is this question:
how can we become even better? Let’s put
it another way: can we redefine the limits of
engineering? Yes, we can. With Intelligent
Performance.
The new 911 answers questions about the
future of the sports car with a quantum
leap in performance. By reducing fuel
consumption, but not by suppressing
emotions. By following a principle that has
already changed everything once before:
in 1974, with the first 911Turbo.
Developed completely from scratch, the
six-cylinder twin-turbo boxer engines of the
911 Carrera models with a displacement
of3.0liters embrace this principle and
perfect itin a future-bound way. To be more
precise: tremendous acceleration force
even in the low rpm range is supplemented
by the engine map of a 911 Carrera with
the high rev limits typical of a sports car.
Expressed in figures, this means an
extra 20 hp of power, an extra 44 lb.-ft.
of torque and engine speeds of up to
7,500 rpm. And a considerable reduction
in fuel consumption.
The engine of the 911 Carrera develops
370hp. The maximum torque of
331 lb.-ft. is available from as low as
1,700rpm. With Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) and Launch Control, the 911Carrera
can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only
4.4seconds and reach a top track speed
o
f 18
2mph.
We could sit back in the slipstream of our own tradition.
Or prepare to overtake.
Engine.
Prepare to overtake.
