The 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo is also equipped with the new PDK seven-speed dual clutch transmission. With the new powerplant under its hood, the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo is able to get from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and it can also offer a fuel consumption on the highway of 25

mpg. The top speed for both the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo coupe and cabrio is rated at 194 mph. The 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo US price starts at 132,800 USD for the Coupe and at 143,800 USD for the cabrio. Porsche Press Release: Porsche Cars North America announced today that the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will arrive at its U.S. dealers this week and go on sale on January 30. This is only three months after the debut of the

highly acclaimed Panamera, Porsche's first Gran Turismo and sports car for four. Porsche traditionally has emphasized efficiency, but the new flagship 911 gives a new meaning to its high-performance label. While its acceleration, braking and handling capabilities make it a true super sports car, it goes about its business with a thriftiness that is equally remarkable and by no means the norm in its class. With 20 more horsepower, and a 13 percent increase in fuel economy, the new 911 Turbo is indeed more powerful and more efficient.

"We are very excited to welcome the all-new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo into the family," said Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "More than ever, this supercar is a technological tour de force, and the seemingly unanimous accolades from the media support what we already believe; this is the best 911 Turbo ever." The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo features the first entirely new engine in its storied 35-year history. The new flat-six boxer engine now delivers 500 horsepower, 20 more than the previous power plant.

Maximum torque is up by 15 to 516 lb. ft. when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo. All of this means that the new 911 Turbo can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds when combined with the new, highly acclaimed Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) seven-speed dual clutch transmission. Top track speed is 194 mph for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models and its EPA estimates are a best-in-class 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway for the new Coupe when equipped with the PDK transmission. "The Porsche 911 Turbo has always represented the pinnacle of the 911 model line since it was first introduced in 1974," said von Platen.

"Now, 35 years later, the Turbo is still considered the standard when looking for the perfect combination of supercar performance with everyday drivability." The 2010 Turbo Coupe and Turbo Cabriolet prices are $132,800 and $143,800, respectively.
