Full-Load Curves
The basic engine of the new 911 Turbo has been completely newly developed. Besides the conversion to direct fuel injection, the new design of the basic engine focuses in particular on the integration of functions and reduction of components. The changes implemented have not only reduced the overall weight of the engine by approx. 26 lbs (12 kg), but also lowered its center of gravity and therefore the overall center of gravity of the vehicle.
Compared with the previous model, the basic engine of the new 911 Turbo features the following main modifications:
- Increase in displacement to 3.8 l (cylinder diameter enlarged from 100 mm to 102 mm)
- Crankcase with integrated cylinder housing and cylinder liners
- Cylinder head with integrated camshaft housing and chain slot
- Omission of intermediate shaft
- Oil supply with electronically demand-controlled oil pump
- Integrated dry-sump lubrication with oil tank integrated into the oil pan
