911 Turbo + Turbo S (991.2) ~ 2016-2019

Overview

One of the most anticipated models in any new 911, is the arrival of the Turbo & Turbo S. This is always a top performer in the 911 model range, and has incredible handling with the AWD system. The Turbo S can rocket from 0-60mph in as little as 2.9 seconds, but yet is still entirely drivable in day-to-day situations. The Turbo comes only available with the PDK and active all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which ensures intelligent transmission to all four wheels.

The 911 Turbo comes standard with a huge amount of new technologies, to make this car, bigger and better than before.

Technology on the 991.2 Turbo includes:

  • Rear axle steering: improves daily usability and performance. Up to 30mph, the rear wheels will move in the opposite direction to the front wheels, which has a virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase. Over 50mph, the rear wheels move in the same direction as the front which has the effect of a virtual extended wheelbase to increase stability. Between 30mph – 50mph the steering varies between the 2 examples depending on the driving conditions.
  • Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM): the vehicle will change according to road conditions and driving style. This is achieved by varying the damping forces within the parameters of driving modes.
  • Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC): Standard in the Turbo S. This is an active anti-roll system which improves performance as well as ride comfort at all speeds.
  • The 20-inch 911 Turbo wheel: reduces weight and is forged to unsprung masses.
  • The 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheel with central locking device: this is especially light and designed to improve driving comfort and performance. The central locking device is an asset in anti-theft protection.
  • The 20-inch Sport Classic wheel: an optional extra. Classic Porsche designed wheels, fully painted.
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): standard on all models. Warns the driver against low tire pressure and slow, or uneven, pressure loss.
  • Lift system on front axle: an optional extra. Raises the vehicle on demand around 1.5 inches at the front, whilst driving up to approx 37mph. This allows the driver to overcome curbs, ramps and garage entrances.
