Porsche 911 Turbo

With 500bhp from a new 3.8-litre turbocharged engine, it's the fastest accelerating 4WD Porsche ever

The latest 911 Turbo will land in Frankfurt… And in true Porsche style the updated version is virtually indecipherable from its predecessor!

Chromeheadlight surrounds, restyled foglights and new wheel designs mark theonly exterior upgrades, but there’s more to this facelift than meetsthe eye.

Under the bonnet, or wedged in the boot in the 911’scase, is an all-new 3.8-litre direct-injection, twin-turbo flat-six,delivering a faintly ridiculous 500bhp – only the second road-going 911to ever breach the 500bhp barrier after the current 530bhp GT2.

Thatadditional 20bhp gives the performance figures a healthy boost. At 3.7seconds from 0-60mph it’s three tenths quicker than the current Turbo,and tops out 1mph higher, at 194mph.

But it’s an interior changethat will have Porsche enthusiasts across the globe sighing withrelief. The excellent PDK twin-clutch gearbox can now be specified withstandard wheel-mounted levers – pull the left to change down and theright to shift up – rather than the confusing push button setup onearlier versions.

Most impressive of all though is that Porsche has managed to not only turn up the performance, but to cut CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by around 18 per cent.

Coupeand Cabriolet versions of the next-gen Turbo go on sale in the UK onNovember 21, priced at £101,823 and £109,048 respectively – roughly a£2,000 increase over the outgoing model.
