2014-Porsche-911-Turbo-S-3

The Porsche Turbo and Turbo S, based on the new 911 Carrera body, which has a wheelbase 100 mm greater than before. Its power is 520 and 560 horses respectively, have drive and four-wheel steering, aerodynamic front and rear retractable and an 'overboost' system (which can increase for 20 seconds maximum turbo pressure) for mid-range speeds . All these elements, together with the stability control, are intended to improve acceleration and stability in straight and curved. 911 Turbo price is EUR 186 093 and the 223 967 Turbo S in euros.Possible alternatives to the 911 Turbo are the BMW M6 Coupé , Audi R8 V10 S-Tronic and Nissan GT-R , all affordable. The price of the Turbo S is considerably lower than a Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe and similar to a Ferrari 458 Italia .Porsche recently announced that in December will sell versions Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet, ie convertible body. Its price is 200 211 euros for the former and 238 492 euros for the second. Therefore, these convertible versions are between 14 118 euros and 14 500 euros more expensive than closed body. The 911 Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet carry a canvas roof that needs 13.0 seconds to fold and this operation can be done with the car moving up to 50 km / h. Porsche says it has made ​​the magnesium roof structure and design that "to keep the same line as the Coupé roof when the roof is closed," why the drag coefficient is the same. Perhaps due to the greater weight of the convertible versions, consumption increases slightly and the acceleration is slightly slower compared to the 911 Turbo Coupe and Turbo S Coupe. Most of the technical characteristics and solutions are the same in both Coupe and Cabriolet versions. Then explain them and here are some driving impressions: The 911 Turbo and Turbo S spent several systems to reduce consumption and achieve more efficient: decoupling the engine from the transmission to move "sailing" at such times as determined Car calculator, auto power off and arrests engine that operates from speeds less than five miles per hour and a system that makes the car run simultaneously with two gears engaged and one or two clutches slipping to reduce the rate of engine speed. All these systems are designed to reduce the consumption figure. The average consumption has decreased by 16% compared to the previous version.

Integrating all these elements make the car Porsche 911 Turbo quirky. You can drive very slowly, very gently, and with a fuel consumption probably too under favorable traffic conditions. And you can drive at speeds creepy circuit. Anyway, in both cases, the 911 Turbo is a car that runs very smoothly, which obeys the directions of the driver with extreme fidelity which I think is very safe for any type of driver, because not only is predictable , but it seems that is unlimited, you can always do more to meet the requirements of the driver. The difference in performance between the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S are invaluable to me, at least I've driven units, equipped both with the package "Sport Chrono".

They are more powerful versions of the 911 range. They have a 3.8-liter boxer engine with direct injection and twin turbochargers with variable position blades. In Porsche claim that they are the only brand that uses this technology, so widespread in Diesel engines, in gasoline engines. In the Turbo gives 520 hp and the Turbo S 560 hp. The 'overboost', which allows for increased maximum turbo pressure in the middle range rpm for 20 seconds to 0.15 bar, does not affect the maximum power figure you get above 6000 rpm. What it does do is increase the strength-to-midrange, with a figure of maximum torque of 750 Nm, a value huge.This figure is achieved at an engine speed of the engine very low, one reason that helps this car be as smooth and easy to drive.

The price of the 911 Turbo is 186,093 Euros and the Turbo S to 223 967 euros. Possible alternatives to the 911 Turbo are the BMW M6 Coupé , Audi R8 V10 S-Tronic and Nissan GT-R , all affordable. The price of the Turbo S is considerably lower than a Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe and similar to a Ferrari 458 Italia . system driving all four wheels, called "PTM" by Porsche, is new. The force between the two axes is distributed through an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch and water cooled. According to Porsche, this new system can send more power to the front wheels than the previous system.

In both versions, the change is automatic with two clutches and seven speeds - "PDK" -. This change has two additional features to a classic automatic. The first is increasingly widespread. This is a run mode "sailing", which selects deadlock in some circumstances for the car forward without the brake which is leading a march engranda.
The second is a unique system. Because change has two clutches, Porsche have decided to work in some conditions, always less than 65 km / h when you step on the accelerator slightly, with two gears engaged at once and the two clutches coupled simultaneously. This provision requires that one or two clutches go skating, so that nothing breaks. The purpose of this function is to get the engine running low turns (the rhythm imposed the highest gear) but you get more power to the wheels (thanks to the higher torque that sends lower gear). I have not noticed any circumstances in which this happens. I did not ask what gear appears on the instrument panel in that case. I could not think. It is a system whose use is limited mainly to urban traffic. Porsche engineers say you can get lower consumption of one or two tenths of a liter per hundred kilometers for urban traffic.

As in version GT3 , Turbo versions have a trailing axle system. The maximum steering angle can be 2.8 degrees. Up to 50 km / h the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front and above 80 km / h in the same direction.

As a novelty, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S is equipped with a system of active aerodynamics front and rear. Comprises a retractable front skirt with three positions and a rear spoiler with three possible settings. The different positions of the tails depend on the speed or you press the button to activate all the utilities of the "Sport Plus", which affects the automatic transmission, engine, suspension, stability control system, aerodynamics ...). In the following two-minute video prepared by Porsche and subtitled by us explain the details.

The 911 Turbo accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 3.2 seconds when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus. Is 0.1 seconds faster than the previous 911 Turbo S. The 911 Turbo S takes 3.1 seconds in the same measurement.Both versions are faster than all its alternatives, except the Nissan GT-R, which takes 2.7 seconds.

The external dimensions of the bodies of the 911 Turbo and Turbo S vary slightly from the rest of the 911 range. The wheel arches are 28 mm wider than the 911 Carrera 4. Furthermore alloy wheels are forged, 20-inch in diameter in the Turbo S with a single central nut. The 911 Turbo S comes standard with ledes headlights, unlike the 911 Turbo that has xenon and optionally the LED.With this system the active beam to illuminate continuously adapt always the largest possible number of meters. Lights have two positions, long and short, but its path is adapted to the situation continuously to always illuminate as far as possible without dazzling oncoming drivers. These lights ledes also perform dynamic cornering light.

The standard equipment comprises sports seats with 18 types of memory settings and a stereo Bose brand. Optionally can be equipped with sound system, brand Burmester, active cruise control and a system of recognition signals . In addition, the 911 Turbo S is also illuminated by headlights ledes, ceramic brakes, Sport Chrono Plus package with dynamic engine mounts and active anti-roll system, called by Porsche as PDCC-, all these items are optional on the 911 Turbo.
