2021 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet – 10 Fast Facts
3.8-Litre Engine
2021 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is powered by a six-cylinder, 3.8-litre boxer engine. It features symmetrical turbochargers with variable turbine geometry and electrically controlled bypass valves. In conjunction with the redesigned charge air cooling system and the use of piezo injectors, it delivers improved responsiveness, performance, torque characteristic and revving ability. The maximum power output is 427 kW (580 PS) and maximum torque 750 Nm.
PDK Transmission
The eight-speed PDK transmission in the 911 Turbo features optimised steel plates and a reinforced gear set. Thanks to the new lightning gearshifts, the 911 Turbo reacts even faster and more spontaneously.
All-Wheel Drive
Porsche 911 Turbo is equipped with the all-wheel drive as standard. The transfer case in the new 911 Turbo can distribute up to 500 Nm to the front wheels. A new prop shaft that is both lighter and more stable, with just one universal joint, transmits power to the front axle.
Porsche Active Suspension Management
The new-generation Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) comes with even faster and more precisely controlled dampers. When needed, the new PASM offers significantly softer damping in both the compression and rebound stages than the previous system, which translates into greater comfort. At the same time, the new PASM can make the dampers act more firmly, resulting in significant driving dynamics advantages with respect to roll stability, road holding, steering behaviour, and indeed potential cornering speeds.
Optional Sport Chassis
The faster-reacting dampers mean that a sports chassis with 10 mm lowering is available for the first time as an option on the 911 Turbo. To guarantee maximum grip at all times, helper springs are additionally mounted on the rear axle which ensure adequate spring pre-loading of the main springs for full rebound.
Adaptive Aerodynamics
The 911 Turbo features adaptive aerodynamics as standard. The downforce is increased by 15 percent thanks to the newly designed active front spoiler and rear wing, thereby guaranteeing even greater driving stability and dynamics at higher speeds.
315/30 ZR21 Rear Tyres
The 911 Turbo comes with a mixed tyres. At the front axle, there are 20-inch wheels with 255/35 ZR20 tyres. On the rear axle, there are 21-inch wheels with massive 315/30 ZR21 tyres.
Optional Lift Function
A lift function is optionally available for the 911 turbo. This allows the ground clearance of the front apron to be increased by around 40 millimetres.
Optimised Air Conditioning
The air-conditioning functionality, when the hardtop is open, has been significantly improved for the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet. The new feature is the automatic adjustment and regulation of the automatic climate control when the roof is opened. The blower control, temperature control and air distribution to the interior are adjusted to the particular situation depending on the outside temperature, strength of sunshine and many other parameters.
How Fast is It?
The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and reach 200 km/h in 10.1 seconds. The top speed is 320 km/h.
