2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Porsche’s engineers have developed the new top model in the 911 series for the sports car driver demanding the very best in performance and driving dynamics: the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Reigning at the highest level, this outstanding new model is a wonderful example of the Porsche Intelligent Performance philosophy. For despite a significant increase in engine output and phenomenal performance on the road, the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S does not consume any more fuel than the Porsche 911 Turbo, thus standing out by far also as the most efficient sports car in its class.

The new 2011 911 Turbo S is entering the market at the same time in both Coupé and Cabriolet guise.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S comes with the highest level of drivetrain technology in the sports car segment Porsche has to offer. It therefore boasts as standard all performance-enhancing features available as an option on the 911 Turbo.

The “heart” of the new top-of-the-range 911 is of course the six-cylinder boxer engine featuring two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG) as a highlight unique worldwide on gasoline engines. Output is up by 30 hp over the “regular” 911 Turbo.

The Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe conveys the full power of the engine without the slightest interruption when shifting gears to active PTM Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive. Dynamic engine mounts and PTV Porsche Torque Vectoring including a mechanical differential on the rear axle ensure an even higher standard of driving dynamics.

The power of the engine in the new 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S is conveyed as standard by a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK Porsche Double-Clutch Gearbox). Likewise as a standard feature, the gearbox is controlled manually by gearshift paddles on the three-spoke sports steering wheel.

This trendsetting transmission technology first developed by Porsche back in the ’80s and originally conceived for motorsport, allows an extremely fast gearshift without the slightest interruption of traction for significantly improved acceleration. The feeling the driver enjoys in the process is even more agile and dynamic.
