The 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $137,700. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi R8 Coupe, the Nissan GT-R Coupe, and the Jaguar XK-R Coupe. Between two trims, the 911 Turbo Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine making 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. If more power is required, there is also a 530 horsepower-making version of the same engine available in the Turbo S trim which gets affixed to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Turbo Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 3.2 seconds with the base engine which gets pumped up to 3.0 seconds in the Turbo S. Both versions manage a combined fuel economy of 19 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 18 striking color options 911 Turbo Coupe comes in and really pulls you towards itself.
