All Porsches are now turbos, notes MotorWeek in a new review; hence, the absence of the word "turbo" in the new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera. Nevertheless, the turbo is very much present. Click "play" in the video clip below to watch the full report.
MotorWeek makes the point that this engine sings a familiar Teutonic tune, it’s incredibly responsive, yet still smooth as silk with the power delivery. The engine is still a flat-6, now just 3.0-liters; but with a pair of turbos. No worries, output is up to 370-horsepower. That’s 20-more than last year, and 90-more than the original 911 Turbo. And it still revs way past 7,000 RPM using 13-psi of boost to whip up 331 lb-ft. of torque. Porsche reports acceleration of 0-60 mph in 4.0-seconds flat for the base Carrera.
