Overall Rating
The king of the Nurburgring is some of the best qualities like blazing fast on a racetrack and still livable as an all-weather daily driver. It is a terrific sports luxury car and lives up to ts iconic heritage.
The king of the Nurburgring is some of the best qualities like blazing fast on a racetrack and still livable as an all-weather daily driver. It is a terrific sports luxury car and lives up to its iconic heritage. This year, the Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe comes standard with a fixed rear spoiler with articulating wing elements, a power-retractable front spoiler, and various aesthetic revisions.
It's a pretty hard decision to make the choices that you get with Porsche. The standard 911 Turbo is powerful enough and is all the sports car you'd ever need and it comes loaded with all features as well. However, if more numbers make you happier then you might as well shell out around $20,000 more for the Turbo S model and get yourself some more horsepower and torque.

It's a pretty hard decision to make the choices that you get with Porsche. The standard 911 Turbo is powerful enough and is all the sports car you'd ever need and it comes loaded with all features as well. However, if more numbers make you happier then you might as well shell out around $20,000 more for the Turbo S model and get yourself some more horsepower and torque.
The Legendary Porsche 911 turbo still has the best recipe for perfection, powered by a monstrous 3.8 liter twin turbocharged engine which puts out 540 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. The Turbo S variant puts out 580 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Boxer engine is placed lower in the rear end which optimizes center of gravity. All- wheel drive is standard.
The engine is mated to a 7-speed manual transmission known as Porsche Doppelkuppulung (PDK). Gear one to Six are short ratio and the seventh one is a long ratio. This dual-clutch transmission keeps the next gear ready which is preselected in the gearbox. Coasting is also possible with the 911 turbo. Depending on mode (Normal, SPORT or SPORT PLUS), the gear change is optimized for comfort or\xa0for sporty driving

Against the competition, the Lamborghini Huracan and Porsche 911 Turbo edges past Mclaren 600 LT and Audi R8 by 0.1 seconds with the latter doing in 2.8 seconds.
It all starts with the very capable 3.8 liter twin-turbo boxer engine mounted in the rear surpasses performance capabilities. The 911 turbo scouts to 60 mph under 3 seconds but there is so much more than just mind-numbing speed. The 7 speed dual clutch transmission provides blazing fast shifts with racecar precision. There are various technologies derived from the track which are:
Porsche Stability Management (PSM): The PSM improves traction on wet surfaces when driving at the limits of performance using automatic brake differential and anti-slip regulation.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM): This active all-wheel drive system ensures power distribution with an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch between front and rear axle.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) : This active body system suppresses lateral body movement during cornering. It also minimizes the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) : These systems work according to the mode selected. The combination of adjustable front and rear spoiler adjust according to vehicle speed for optimum level of down force and helps in braking at high speed.
Sports Chrono package with MODE switch: This helps in tuning of the chassis, power delivery and transmission. There are four settings to choose which are Normal, Sport, Sport plus and Individual.
Rear axle steering: At lower speeds (upto 30 mph) the system steers the wheel in the opposite direction to the front wheel which in turn reduces the turning circle and steering at corners becomes dynamic. At higher speed (above 50 mph) the system steers wheels in the direction of front wheels for stable maneuver on highways.
Dynamic engine mounts increase stability and ride comfort. The chassis is very agile and offers high levels of stability. The weight distribution of the Porsche is 42% at the front and 58% in the rear due to its mid-engine design. Ride is firm but with the adjustable dampers you can find suitable adjustment. The steering is well weighted and the handling is terrific in any situation. The Porsche 911 can take corners with enthusiasm and make you feel like a race driver with virtually zero body roll. Cabin is well muffled but take it to the highways and you can hear the optional sports exhaust.
The stopping prowess is as important as engine performance so the 911 Turbo comes with ceramic composite brakes, which improves braking performance. Porsche comes equipped with 6-piston aluminum monoblock in the front and 4 piston in the rear.
The pedal travel is small and the bite is precise even under extreme loads. They are ventilated for better heat dissipation and are extremely consistent.. New 20-inch 911 Turbo\xa0S wheels have a central locking device technology derived directly from motor racing.

When contrasted with the rivals the 911 Turbo returns best fuel economy and can be used as a daily driver. The Mclaren 600 LT takes second spot with 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. R8 and Huracan have V10 under the hood which doesn't give the best of the figures.
Complementing the uncluttered exterior design the cabin of 911 is direct and driver focused. You sit very low in the car and it is very easy to come in and out as compared to most of the rivals. There is plenty of room for taller individuals and rear seats are much suited for kids or to store belongings. The sloping hood and large windshield contributes great outward visibility but large B pillars block your view out to the rear.
Crafted from high quality material the cabin features clever technology and clear operating logic. Electronically adjustable seats offer high levels of comfort and extra lumbar support for enthusiastic driving. The firm sporty padding of the side bolsters and additional shoulder supports provide the best possible hold. The rear seats are remarkably comfortable for a sports car. And the shelf behind offers additional storage Alcantara has been used for roof lining and door panels and dashboard are covered in soft leather.

The 911 comes with a unique 2+2 configuration which none of the rivals have. The Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R 8 have best in class ergonomics and can be used as a daily driver (if someone wants). The Huracan and Mclaren 600 LT have typical race car cabins.
Interior Features
The 911 comes standard with the Porsche Communication Management infotainment system which is intuitive to use and comes with all basic amenities which you will require.
The infotainment system has a learning curve, but it works well once you've mastered it. One knock against this vehicle is that it doesn't offer Android Auto, which many rivals do.
The Porsche 911 Turbo comes with a rear mounted boxer engine which means the trunk is under the hood. There is 5 cubic feet of space which is only good for some of your grocery bags. However you get a folding rear which can accommodate a substantial amount of luggage.

The Porsche 911 still resembles the legendary design from 1965 which is the most recognizable sports car ever. Iconic oval-shaped LED headlights with four-point daytime running lights look dynamic with strong creases over the hood. A triplet of front air intakes divided by horizontal lines looks quite similar to the previous models. The extremely wide rear fenders feature air intake to cool off the engine looks sinister.
In the rear the 911 Turbo uses a single thin strip LED tail light inspired from Mission E stretches across the tail. A t shaped active rear spoiler adjusts according to velocity for maximum aero efficiency. A pair of squared exhaust tips are neatly housed in the rear bumper with air splitters. The 911 Turbo looks elegant yet understated and you will be noticed on the roads.

The Mclaren 600 LT is hundreds of pounds lighter than most of the rivals but longest in terms of length. All of the European rivals are similar in terms of dimension but the Porsche has the smallest wheelbase which makes it more nimble. Ground clearance of 6.3 inches in the R8 means it can clear over road undulations.
Exterior Features
Porsche 911 turbo is packed with a safety net. It features Porsche Stability Management (PSM) that stabilizes the car when you're driving to the absolute limits of the car. It works in coordination with automatic brake differential and anti-slip regulation to provide stability combined with exceptional agility. Some standard safety features are:
If you think looks are everything then no doubt Huracan is the champ here. Everyone will look at you and the street presence is more than anything. In any case, in the event that you're more into the driving dynamics and handling, at that point Porsche is the most elite out there. Porsche's sharp steering and agile chassis is a true winner at the track. The power delivery of the V6 twin-turbo in comparison to the naturally aspirated V10 of the Lamborghini is unearthly.
Additionally, to be considered is the value, it's about $40,000 more costly than the 911 turbo which may squeeze a little on the pocket and goodness those fuel bills. Great efficiency implies fewer fuel stops and progressively fun out and about which Porsche does it so exquisitely.
The 600 LT houses a 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 powertrain encased in a lightweight aluminum carbon fiber shell. The Porsche is also powered by a 6-liter turbocharged powertrain but puts out 12 horses less than the McLaren. Both of the rivals go neck to neck with each other on track.
The Porsche also has better fuel economy and can be used as a daily driver while the 600 LT is much a weekender. The Porsche 911 is also $40,000 cheaper and proves better value for money.
The Audi R8 Spyder and Lamborghini Huracan share its chassis and high revving 5.2 liter V10. Both come only with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and are available in either rear- or all-wheel-drive configuration.
Being $4,000 dearer than a 911 turbo, it gets you a V10 motor rather than V6. The all-wheel-drive setup of the Porsche 911 is certainly more advanced and complex than the R8. It proves more agile at the track and mileage is also good with the Turbo 911.
The Porsche 911 Turbo is an excellent car that is nimble around corners and offers strong performance with its V6 powertrain. It has always been the stuff of legends and comes with an impressive list of features and a gargantuan 5.6 liter V6 powertrain. For speed lovers, the car's extremely responsive throttle is not less than a blessing. What can be better than driving your supercar daily and still not look pretentious, however at this price it is advised to check out alternatives.
