이번에 공개되는 뉴 911 터보는 7세대 모델로 3.8리터 엔진을 탑재해 500마력의 최대 출력을 자랑한다. 지난 35년의 터보 역사에서 처음으로 직접 연료 분사 방식의 새로운 엔진과 휘발유 엔진에서는 유일한 포르쉐만의 가변형 터보차저 시스템을 탑재했다. 또한 옵션으로 더블클러치 방식의 기어박스 포르쉐 7단 PDK(Porsche Doppel Kupplung)을 제공한다.
PDK가 탑재된 모델은 새로운 기어 시프트 패들이 장착된 3-스포크 스티어링 휠과 기존 PDK 용 스티어링 휠 중 선택할 수 있다. 기어 시프트 패들의 경우 고단 변속을 위해서는 오른쪽 패들을 저단 변속을 위해서는 왼쪽 패들을 조정하면 된다. 두 스티어링 휠 모두 스포츠 크로노 패키지 터보를 옵션으로 선택하면 런치 컨트롤 및 스포츠/스포츠 플러스 모드를 경험할 수 있다.
이러한 기술적 진화로 뉴 911 터보는 연비와 성능뿐 아니라 이산화탄소 배출량도 구형에 비해 약 18% 정도 줄였다. 연비는 EU5 유럽기준 11.4~11.7L/100km이다. 이는 미국에서 연료 소모율이 높은 차량에 징수되는 특별세(Gas Guzzler Tax)를 내는 기준에 훨씬 못 미치는 아주 우수한 수치이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 0à100km/h은 3.4초, 0à200km/h은 최고 속력은 312km/h를 발휘한다.
뉴 911 터보에는 네바퀴의 구동력을 최적으로 제어하는 PTM (Porsche Traction Management)와 미끄러짐을 방지하는 PSM (Porsche Stability Management)를 기본으로 탑재했다. 전자제어 장비 PTV (Porsche Torque Vectoring)은 옵션으로 제공된다. 이 시스템은 후륜에 전달되는 구동력을 고르게 제어해 보다 민첩하고 정확한 움직임을 유도함과 동시에 운전의 즐거움을 배가 시킨다.
뉴 911 터보는 쿠페와 카브리올레 두 가지 모델로 2009년 11월 21일, 독일 시장에 판매될 예정이다.
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 with 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 with 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 with features such as Direct Fuel Injection and Porsche’s exclusive turbocharger with variable turbine geometry on a gasoline power unit. And as an option, the new six-cylinder may be combined for the first time with Porsche’s seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (Double-Clutch Gearbox).
Models equipped with PDK are also available with a new, optional three-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard steering wheel with its proven shift buttons. Fitted firmly on the steering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo both the gearshift paddle and the PDK steering wheel with its shift buttons come with integrated displays for Launch Control and the Sport/Sport Plus mode, which are however designed differently on the two steering 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 segment 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 EU5 standard. And unlike most other cars in its segment, the new Turbo remains even further below the crucial level of fuel consumption for gas guzzler tax in the USA, the special tax imposed on cars with 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.
The Turbo driver of the future will also enjoy a further improvement in driving dynamics, detailed enhancement of PTM fully controlled all-wheel drive and PSM Porsche Stability Management being further supported by new PTV Porsche Torque Vectoring available as an option. This makes the car even more agile and precise in its steering for an even higher level of driving pleasure.
Sales of the new Porsche 911 Turbo in both Coupé and Cabriolet guise are starting in Germany on 21 November 2009. The Euro base price without value-added tax and national specifications is Euro 122,400.- for the Coupé and Euro 131,800.- for the Cabriolet. The gross retail price in Germany, therefore, is Euro 145,871.- for the Coupé and Euro 157,057.- for the Cabriolet, in each case including 19% value-added tax and national specifications.
The retail price and market launch date vary by region or country. Please contact the Porsche PR Manager of your country in order to receive country-specific information.
