Or put simply, an extremely good basis for practicality and performance. A contradiction solved by the combination of establishing a new benchmark. There are two performance levels to choose from: a variably adjustable front spoiler and rear wing. The result: more ground clearance at the front, greater stability, lower fuel consumption on the road The new 911 Turbo: 383 kW (520 hp) between 6,000 and 6,500 rpm and and impressive lap times on the racetrack. 660 Nm of torque between 1,950 and 5,000 rpm. The new 911 Turbo S: 412 kW (560 hp) between 6,500 and 6,750 rpm and 700 Nm of torque between 2,100 and 4,250 rpm. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are up to 16% lower than on previous models. This is thanks to technologies that keep the vehicle weight low and make optimum use of fuel. 1) 911 Turbo models : fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 13.2 · extra urban 7.7 · combined 9.7; CO2 emissions: 227 g/km. 06 07 >> The new 911 Turbo << Sketched on graph paper, but conceived outside the grid.
