911 Turbo 3.0 is back
From the end of 2015 (model year 2016) the basic 911 versions have turbocharged engines - and like the very first 911 Turbo 41 years earlier - in the size of 3.0 litres. The model year 2016 911 Turbo 3.0 has two power trims: 272 kW for the Carrera and 309 kW for the Carrera S version. The more powerful version has its turbochargers, exhaust system and engine management software tuned to higher power instead of smaller fuel consumption. The 'S' costs +15%. In both versions the boxer has its redline set at 7500 rpm, which is not bad for a turbocharged engine. 'Carrera' or 'Carrera S' doesn't sound right for the bi-turbo 911 and there's the no-cost option 498 which means the rear lid 'Carrera'-sign installation can be skipped at the factory. Unfortunately the "turbo 3.0" sign is not available.
Performance comparison to previous normally aspirated versions
The turbocharging technology ads weight, but there must have been something else that added the weight as the base version is 50 kg/110 lb heavier and the S version 45 kg/99 lb heavier than before. This is compensated mostly by the added torque (+44 lb-ft/+60 Nm on both versions), but also by 15 kW of added power in the case of the base model. The seriously added torque helps the cars to accelerate faster despite the added weight. The power of the S model should be compared to the previous WLS/GTS version and there it loses a bit (309 kW instead of 316 kW).
Performance comparison inside the Turbo 3.0 versions
The best power-to-weight ratio is on the Carrera S WLS Coupé with manual gearbox with 104 W/lb or 228 W/kg. In the other end of the spectre is the model with Targa body (+ 90 kg/198 lb), 4WD (+ 50 kg/110 lb) and PDK (+ 20 kg/44 lb). The 991 Targa 4 Turbo 3.0 has the power-to-weight ratio of 78 W/lb or 171 W/kg, which means it is 25% weaker in performance than the WLS Coupé with manual gearbox.
New stuff
The rear-axle steering is optionally available for the Carrera S. It ensures greater maneuverability in city traffic thanks to the 20"/50 cm reduced turning circle (10.7 m instead of 11.2 m on RWD models, the effect is smaller on 4WD models). PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management (adjustable shock absorbers) were made standard also for the base model.
The steering wheel - now in the 918 design - has a diameter of 375 mm, but is also available in the size of 360 mm. The optional Sport Chrono pack now has a mode switch on the steering wheel, which consists of a rotary ring with four positions for the driving modes: “0" (Normal), "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport Plus) and “I" (Individual). Depending on the equipment, the latter setting enables drivers to configure their own individual vehicle set-up (PASM, PADM active engine mounts, PDK shifting strategy and exhaust noise). In combination with PDK the mode switch has an additional Sport Response button. This button helps to overcome the usual low rpm problem associated with PDK-equipped cars. When the button is pressed the car goes to Sport Plus mode for 20 seconds and this way makes overtaking experience closer to the manual gearbox cars.
The active safety of the 991.2 was increased with the post-collision braking system.
Carrera T
Based on the base version Carrera, the Carrera T is a bit sportier. It has reduced sound absorption, the lightweight glass rear window and rear side windows, the inner door openers from the 911 GT-versions, shorter gear shifter, cool Sport-Tex seats and it comes without (or with) the rear seats and the radio system. The mechanical rear differential lock and 0.8"/20 mm lower PASM suspension are standard features.
GTS
All the GTS versions feature the wider body, black accents everywhere (now even the Targa bar), central lock wheels, Sport Design front spoiler and mirrors. A new black trim strip between the tail lights characterises the rear-wheel-drive models. The WLS/GTS engine package includes larger turbochargers, the Sport Chrono package includes dynamic engine mounts, a modified brake cooling system and the sports exhaust system with central tailpipes.






























































1.000.000th 911



The 1.000.000th 911 is a 911 Carrera S Turbo 3.0 WLS with manual gearbox. After the car came from the production line on April 12, 2017, it went to Porsche Exclusive department where it was finished by May 9, 2017. The car was made for Porsche Museum collection.





The celebration event was held on May 11, 2017. Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, commented: “54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglöckner high alpine road with my father. The feeling of being in a 911 is just as enjoyable now as it was then. That’s because the 911 has ensured that the core values of our brand are as visionary today as they were in the first Porsche 356/1 from 1948”.








Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur cars
Porsche's special wishes department fulfills the orders from private customers, from Porsche AG (limited edition special versions of production models) and from Porsche dealers (market specific special editions).




What about the 912?
In addition to the 991.2 Carrera Porsche might introduce the 4-cylinder 912 model again. The 2016 718 Boxster and Cayman have 4-cylinder turbo engines and we guess Porsche might use these engines with the 911 body to sell the cars as 912. After the discontinuation of the 968 in 1995, Porsche has always missed a 4-cylinder 4-seater entry level model. Considering the entry level models are bought by young people, the rear seats would sell the cars.
