2014 Porsche 911 Turbo Spy Shots. Now that the 991 Porsche 911 has made its debut, both in coupe and convertible bodystyles, attention turns to its more potent versions such as the GT3 and Turbo, the latter of which has been caught testing once again by our spy photographers. The Porsche 911 Turbo is a car that needs no introduction here at Motor Authority. Able to keep up with some of the best supercar models around; its combination of turbocharged power and all-wheel-drive traction ensures that it’s almost always the first out of the blocks when the lights turn green. Looking closely at the prototype of the next-generation model, we can clearly see the trademark side intake ports of the 911 Turbo, as well as its wider rear and oversized spoiler.
The rear bumper also features additional cooling vents on its flanks and integrated quad-exhaust tips. In the outgoing 997 generation, the 911 Turbo is some 44 mm wider than the regular Carrera and the same will be true for the new 991, as confirmed with the launch of the Carrera 4 models, which also sport a wider track. Peak output should also be slightly higher than the 530 horsepower of the most recent 911 Turbo S, so expect a figure of around 550 horsepower to bring its output in-line with that of its Japanese nemesis, the Nissan GT-R. An advanced tri-turbo setup has been reported as a possibility, with the addition of the third turbocharger aimed at improving low-end response for blistering off the line performance.
But that’s not all as an uprated ‘PDK-S’ dual-clutch gearbox may also get the cut. A conventional manual should still be offered but with the same seven-forward gear setup that we saw launched on the Carrera models. Look out for a possible debut of the new 911 Turbo towards the end of the year, with the car arriving as a 2014 model. We also have spy shots of the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet, which you can view here. 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo Spy Shots.
