    The 911 Turbo was chosen from an initial entry list of nine other contestants from all over the world and the World Car Awards jury managed to narrow down the competing vehicles to only 3 – Audi RS Q8, the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Toyota GR Yaris. However, the 911 Turbo managed to show the performance and refinement needed to become the winner at the event.

  • Porsche and the Fairytale for 2017 911 Turbo Models

    2017 Porsche 911 Turbo Porsche will make a powerful start in 2016 when the 2017 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The vehicles will be offered in coupe and convertible body style and will feature sharper and more aggressive design, enhanced driving capabilities and extended list of standard equipment. The 911 Turbo will be geared with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder power unit that produces a total of 540hp (397kW), whereas 911 Turbo S will produce 580hp (426kW) and will further benefit from turbochargers with larger impelle. The meaning of all these numbers is that they contribute to incredible 0 to 100km/h (62mph) acceleration: 911 Turbo S finishes the sprint in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 369km/h (205mph), while 911 Turbo offers  2.9 seconds and top speed of 356km/h (198mph).

    In fact, the engines also offer a dynamic boost function that improves throttle response during more aggressive driving. What it does is to maintain the boost pressure during load changes which results on better engine responds and enhanced engine flexibility.

    Bold and sharp design

    2017 Porsche 911 Turbo

    The new generation of 911 Turbo models come with restyled front air blades and narrow LED front lights with double fillets. There are new door handles without recess covers, while the rear fascia has also received some attention: it proudly demonstrates three-dimensional lights with four-point brake lights and aura-like illumination. The models also feature dual tailpipes and exhaust tips. And the sporty, yet beautiful exterior affair is finished with stylish 20-inch wheels with seven double spokes.

    The well-known Sport Chrono Pack is now a standard feature for the 2017 editions. It offers some drivetrain tweaks, enhances the driving dynamics and can be used to change the driving character of the vehicle in four ways: Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. Another cool feature is the Sport Response button. When it is pressed, it preconditions the engine and gearbox and offers some boosted performance for up to 20 seconds.

    And as we talk about performance, we must mention the PASM feature that delivers even better balance between performance and comfort. Furthermore, 911 Turbo S offers a full array of performance gadgets like the active roll stabilization program and Porsche Composite Ceramic Brake. The vehicles will also benefit from Park Assist front and rear cameras, LED headlights, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, two-tone leather interior and carbon-fiber elements.

    It gets better and better, right? I wonder, what do you think about Porsche’s 2017 models?

  • PP-Performance Tunes Porsche 911 Turbo to the World Record [VIDEO]

    PP-Performance released a video showing how a tweaked Porsche 911 Turbo is making a world record. The car covers the ¼ mile for 9.8s! The tuning company has put some more oomph into the probably most known Zuffenhausen sports car forge family member. After the engine intervention the serial horsepower numbers have been significantly raised. Precisely, the Porsche 911 Turbo produces 520 hp (382 kW) and maximum torque of 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) without the tuning.

    The “surgical intervention” (as the professionals call it) into the engine techniques include PP-Performance Digital Racing Box, IPD intake plenum, 3-to-1 headers, downpipes, x-pipe and BMC high performance air filters. The result: the 911 Turbo model is capable of producing 670 horsepower (493 kW) and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of optimum torque.

    But more importantly, this power boost gave the opportunity for the team to reach impressive acceleration values. In details, the car can now cover the 0-60 mph sprint within 2.5 seconds instead of the serial 3.4 seconds. This literally means that the 911 Turbo’s acceleration time equals with Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

    In addition, the car also made a speed world record, which you can view below. Instead of 11.1 seconds of the serial version, the 120 mph limit is reached by PP-911 within 8.2 seconds. In addition, the 9.8 seconds world record in the corresponding class for the ¼ mile on dragstrip is also no wonder! See for yourself:

  • Manta Porsche 996 Turbo Transformed by OK-Chiptuning

    OK-Chiptuning-Manta-Porsche-996-Turbo-THUMBThe professionals at OK-Chiptuning decided to do something different on a Porsche 996 Turbo. First thing that grabs the attention here are the exterior colors that are in the color of the rainbow and impresses with its joyful character.

    However, what is more important here is that the car has received a boost in power and now has an output of 650 hp (478 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) maximum torque. This was achieved thanks to a charge air cooler that was installed in both K24-Turbolader and GT2-RS-. Thanks to it, it is achieved more intense intake for turbochargers. Also Sachs-Performance-clutch and an exhaust system with continuous 70-millimeter-tubes contribute to the seamless performance of this Porsche.

    Furthermore, there is an AG-rim finishing for powder coating of the rims. The 19 inch rims are matched with an appropriate set of tyres in 235/35-19 or 305/30-19. In addition, in order to enhance the driving dynamics, KW-Coilover-Suspension of the version 3 is installed. There was also added a rear spoiler which was delivered by TechArt.

    At last, in order to bring about the “crazy” exterior effect, OK-Chiptuning collaborated with Cam Shaft Premium Wrapping. The result is that the Manta-Porsche received a three-colour foliation.

  • Jeep SRT-8 vs Mustang, 911 Turbo, Cayenne and X6M

    Here are several starts of a brutal Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 Supercharged with 700HP against some powerful, tuned vehicles – BMW X6M Hamann Stage 2 670HP, Porsche Cayenne Turbo Gemballa GT600 with 600HP, Ford Mustang GT500 612hp and Porsche 911 Turbo Stage 2 580HP.

    As you can see, all these SAVs and cars are underpowered, but as we know – power is nothing without control. Although the BMW starts first with reaction time of only 0.310 seconds, it is quickly overtaken by the Jeep. The X6 M crosses the finish line with 248.31 km/h terminal speed against 246.74 km/h for the Cherokee.

    In the second start versus the Cayenne Turbo the scenario is the same. Better reaction from the Porsche driver, but worse 60ft and overall performance – 236.43 km/h at 1 mile for the Cayenne and 262.49 km/h for the Cherokee.

    The third start is versus the mighty Mustang having 612 HP, a lot less weight and way better cD (drag coefficient). At the start the Mustang is dominated, because it is RWD against the AWD in Cherokee. The Mustang’s 60ft time is bad – 2.198 seconds against just 1.699 seconds for the Cherokee. However, the car crosses the finish line with 284.27 km/h, which is more than enough for a win.

    In the last start, the Cherokee is against Porsche 911 Turbo with 580HP. The SUV didn’t have any difficulties, because it started first, with better 60 ft time and overall performance – 260.05 km/h and 29.820 seconds at 1 mile.

    Check out the video below for all starts.
