Covers off new Porsche 911 Turbo

Monday, February 13, 2006

Porsche will unveil its new 911 Turbo at the Geneva Motor Show this month, and promises it will be the most powerful 911 yet.

The top-of-the-range 911 features a 3.6-litre 480bhp engine, and can go from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds with a manual gearbox. That 0-62mph time is shaved to 3.7 seconds if the 911 Turbo is fitted with the optional Tiptronic auto gearbox.

Other vital statistics include a top speed of 192mph, an average fuel economy of 20.8mpg and a starting price of £97,840 when it goes on sale on June 24.

The all-wheel-drive coupe features a different front end and rear spoiler from the rest of the range.

Also set to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show is the new 911 GT3. Come back to whatcar.com on February 28 for more information and pictures of the new car.
