The 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo is completely a different beast compared with the other cars in its lineup. It offers great capabilities and was originally designed as a fast car for consumers wanting a little more extra speed and comfort as well.
Even in its base trim, the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo is crazy fast thanks to its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine capable of providing an astounding 540 horsepower with 523 lb-ft of torque. This beast has been bestowed by Porsche with 20 more horses to play with and much faster compared with the 2016 Turbo.
Porsche claims a 2.8-second 0-60mph with a top speed of 205 mph. The 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo makes use of the Porsche's PDK dual-clutch seven-speed transmission and an AWD system. These improvements stem from increases in boost and fuel injection pressures, according to CarAndDriver.
Meanwhile, the Turbo S, which of course costs a bit more, is geared more toward luxury and is equipped with a full interior and a tame exterior design, per RoadAndTrack. It comes with a 572 bhp and the same 523 lb-ft of torque. At fairly good conditions, its 0-62 mph could reach close to 2.5 seconds, topping at 205 mph. This vehicle is also able to manage a 31mpg all thanks to its turbo-charger setup.
