making its original debut at the frankfurt international auto show 50 years ago, porsche celebrates the anniversary year of the 911 by presenting the new generation 911 turbo and turbo S. complete with new all-wheel drive, active rear axle steering and adaptive aerodynamics, the vehicles boast up to 560 horsepower from a 3.8 liter flat six twin-turbo engine – with the ‘turbo S’  handling the standard sprint to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds. a sound symposer intensifies the driving experience – transmitting induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passengercompartment via a speaker diaphragm. power is transferred to the drive-train via the seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK), which now enables an auto start/stop function with engine shutoff .

the characteristic, expansively wide rear body panels of the new generation 911 turbo are now 28 mm wider than on the 911 carrera 4 models – which correlate to porsche’s newly developed active aerodynamic system. equipped for the first time on the 911 family the ‘porsche active aerodynamics’ (PAA) consists of a sturdy, retractable three-stage front spoiler, whose segments can be pneumatically extended, and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable wing positions.
