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,
