The engine of the new 911 Turbo, with its 3.6 liter displacement, is a further development based on the 911 Turbo (996). Porsche used a variable-geometry turbocharger for the first time with this engine. This technology permits extremely fast boost pressure build-up with good response characteristics, high torque values even at low engine speeds and over a wide rpm range, as well as high maximum power combined with low fuel consumption.







Summary of Modifications

- Variable-geometry turbocharger
- Higher power and torque values
- Component reinforcement
- Overboost function in conjunction with the "Sport Chrono Package Turbo" option
- Advanced VarioCam Plus
- Further developed dry sump lubrication with 9 oil pumps
- Increased cooling performance, including 2-stage oil cooling
- Enhanced charge air cooling
