The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced over the summer and is just now making the rounds with reviewers. This Turbo brings together many technologies that have been in various Porsche race and road cars such as the GT2 and GT3. The engine is based on the newer 3.8-liter unit from the Carrera S but features variable turbine geometry, direct-injection, integrated dry-sump lubrication, dynamic engine mounts, and a new intake that effectively cools the air before entering the turbos.
One very welcome change is with the 7-speed dual-clutch PDK, gone are the awkward thumb buttons to change gears, it now features much more natural feeling paddles behind the steering wheel.
What all that tech means is 500hp and a 0-60 time of 3.2 secs, all yours for a base price of $133,775. Enjoy the videos, the first one shows some driving footage of the new Turbo and me doing the morning commute. Rough life, I know.
