The New 911 Turbo I An Overview

When Porsche develops a new Turbo,

enthusiasts don’t expect us to push the

envelope. They expect us to shred it. The

new 911 Turbo surpasses those expectations.

It’s the first 911 Turbo with Variable Turbine

Geometry (VTG). The first with actively controlled

all-wheel drive. The first to reach 60 mph in

less than four seconds. Altogether, it’s the most

rewarding 911 Turbo yet.

The New 911 Turbo I An Overview

What’s past is prologue.

The new 911 Turbo.

We’ve all heard that “haste

makes waste.” But it took a

Swiss engineer to realize that

the opposite was also true:

Waste exhaust could actually

hasten an engine’s acceleration.

In 1905, Dr. Alfred Büchi filed

the first successful patent for

a turbocharged piston engine.

His invention channeled the

engine’s exhaust gases through

a radial turbine. (Imagine it as a

large pinwheel.) As the turbine

spun, it drove a compressor that

forced oxygen-dense air into the

engine’s intake system. The

result: more power.

The idea takes flight.

In the 1930s, turbochargers

were applied to diesel engines,

to compensate for their relatively

slow acceleration.

small displacement engines that

produced astounding power for

their size and weight.

Over the past century, the turbo

concept has undergone multiple

uses and refinements. It was

first embraced by the aviation

industry, which used turbochargers

to provide more oxygen to engines

during high-altitude flight.

Porsche was among the first

to realize the potential of the

technology for racing engines.

Using high-boost turbochargers,
