[Auto] Porsche 911 Turbo 2021, more of everything

[Dr.Drako]

When it comes to highlighting a specific version of the Porsche 911, there is no doubt that the Turbo is the most recognized for its sportiness and day-to-day use. It was launched for the first time on the market in 1975 and with this generation it is already celebrating 45 years of commercial success.

After the launch of the current generation 911 Turbo S, the 911 Turbo now appears, in a Coupe and Cabriolet configuration, with more power and speed than ever.

The new model uses a 3.7-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine with turbo and direct injection, delivering 580 horsepower (40 Hp more than its predecessor) and 750 Nm of torque (41 Nm more). Associated with a PDK box, the new 911 Turbo enters the sub 3.0 car club, as both the Coupé and Cabriolet settings do 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.8 seconds.

In addition to outperforming its predecessor and matching the previous generation of 911 Turbo S in acceleration, power and torque, the new 911 Turbo 2021 offers a top speed of 320 km / h.

On top of the powerful 3.7-liter engine, the Porsche 911 Turbo sees an increase in body width. Only the front axle grows 42 millimeters, which motivates the use of 255/35 20-inch tires. For its part, the rear axle, with steering and extra 10 millimeters, is offered with large 315/30 R21 wheels.

Another improvement is the brake system, with discs 408 millimeters in diameter (28 mm more than before) on the front wheels, and 380 millimeters on the rear wheels. The sports exhaust system is optionally available for the first time.
