2021 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet with new options and significantly higher horsepower
Atlanta Since its introduction over 45 years ago, the Porsche 911 Turbo has balanced daily usability with exhilarating performance.
Following the recent introduction of the 2021 911 Turbo S, the 2021 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet are now making their debut.
Thanks to a power of 572 hp (427 kW), which marks a 32 hp increase over the predecessor, the new 911 Turbo accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than before) while the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet takes 2.8 seconds (also 0.2 seconds faster). The acceleration, power output, and torque (553 pound-feet) of the new 911 Turbo are on par with the previous 911 Turbo S.

The 2021 911 Turbo models follow prestigious steps: the 911 Turbo has been the latest intersection of performance and luxury within the 911 model lineup since 1975. The latest generation of the 911 Turbo is more than twice as powerful as the original 930 Turbo, which It featured a three-cylinder six-cylinder boxer engine, a single turbocharger, and power of up to 260 hp, depending on the market.
Like the recently unveiled 2021 911 Turbo S, the six-cylinder boxer engine in the new 911 Turbo has a displacement of 3,745 cc and now features symmetrical VTG turbochargers with electrically controlled bypass valves. Coupled with the redesigned charge air cooling system and the use of piezo fuel injectors, this improves the throttle response, performance, torque delivery, and free-throttle nature of the engine. On Turbo models, this engine generates 572 hp. Complementing the power boost, the chassis has been tuned to deliver an even higher level of performance.
By adopting the changes implemented in the new 911 Turbo S earlier this year, the steering response and precision in the new 911 Turbo models have been further improved thanks to an additional 1.65 inches of front track width and new tires. 255/35 20-inch (up from 245/35 previously).
Also shared with the 2021 911 Turbo S, the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel-drive system in the 911 Turbo is capable of transferring even more power to the front wheels than ever before.
The rear-wheel drive, which is equipped with the standard rear-axle steering, is further increased by 0.39 inches of additional track width compared to the latest 911 Turbo, as well as 315/30 tires on 21-inch wheels. (305/30 R 20 previously). The revamped brake system is even bigger than the last 911 Turbo and can be recognized by the fixed red calipers. The cast iron front brake rotors now measure 408 millimeters in diameter (28 mm larger than the previous 911 Turbo) and are 36 millimeters thick (plus 2 mm). The rear axle features 380-millimeter brake rotors that are 30 millimeters thick. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), standard on the 911 Turbo S, with 10-piston front calipers, are available as an option.
A sports exhaust system that was introduced in the 2021 911 Turbo S is also optionally available for the 911 Turbo for the first time. Two different suspension options are also new: while the standard PASM suspension offers a greater separation between agility and driving comfort than before, the particularly performance-oriented and electronically controlled PASM Sport Suspension with a ride height of 0.39 inches ( 10mm) lower compared to standard Suspension further benefits the agility of the new 911 Turbo with a configuration intended to further enhance driving dynamics. Using Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), which uses active roll-over stabilization, is available as an option for 911 Turbo models.
The 911 Turbo’s muscular design reflects the significant increase in power and performance of the new generation. Shared with the 2021 911 Turbo S, the body of the new 911 Turbo models is 1.8 inches wider than the predecessor in the front fenders to accommodate the increase in track width and tire size compared to the previous model. . The new front boot lid with a striking recess in the center underlines the performance-focused character. LED headlights with PDLS Plus are equipped as standard. On the rear axle, the bodywork is now 0.78 inches wider than the previous generation 911 Turbo (991), also to accommodate a wider track and tires.
Other distinctive features of the new 911 Turbo are the improved adaptive aerodynamics with controlled cooling air fins at the front, a larger active front wing and the significantly larger size of the active rear wing. The air intakes on the rear side panels, characteristic of the 911 Turbo, now absorb process air instead of cooling air. Charge air coolers are now placed directly into the air stream under the rear cover. The continuous light bar with LED taillights as well as the new grille on the rear cover with grille with silver grilles and silver moldings complete the design of the rear.
The vehicle’s performance-focused appearance and character can be further enhanced with the optional Lightweight Package and Sport Package. The lightweight coupe package reduces the vehicle’s weight by approximately 66 pounds. Full Bucket seats, removal of rear seats, and reduced sound insulation contribute to weight savings and allow the exhaust note to enter the cabin with greater intensity. The Sport package encompasses all the elements of the SportDesign package, as well as additional applications in black, carbon fiber elements and uniquely designed clear rear lights.
The basic elements of the 911 Turbo interior correspond to those of the current 911 Carrera models with Porsche Advanced Cockpit and Direct Touch Control. The central 10.9-inch Porsche Communication Management (PCM) display can be operated quickly. The extensive list of standard equipment includes electrically adjustable 14-way sports seats, the Sport Chrono package, a GT sports steering wheel with shift paddles and mode switch, as well as the BOSE® surround sound system.
