2016 PORSCHE 911 Turbo (991.2) 3.8L 7AT AWD (540 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 991 version of the Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced in 2013 and marked the 40th anniversary of the German brand. Three years later, the glorious model was enhanced in a mild facelift.

The unmistakable shape of a Porsche 911 was one of the few in the world that didn’t need a badge on it to see that there is a Porsche. The other two were the Volkswagen Beetle and the Land Rover Defender. Three iconic cars that passed the millennium border.

The facelifted version of the 991 was named 991.2. The car’s front end was redesigned with side air blades and narrow LED lights, with double fillets to emphasize the car’s width, as the additional fin in the main air intake. From the side, the new 20” light-alloy wheels were fitted as standard. The door handles without recess covers gave the car a sleeker look. In the back, the high-gloss chrome exhausts were specific for the Turbo version, while the stainless steel was specific for the Turbo S.

Inside, the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation system was fitted as standard. The system featured a 7” touch-screen on the center stack. Unlike its predecessors, the new PCM featured Google Maps with real-time traffic information and Google StreetView. For the sound system, a 555 watt Bose system with 12 speakers was fitted as standard. For those who want to pay some extra for a better sound, an 821 watt Burmeister system was on the options list.

For the engine bay, the Porsche Turbo 991.2 offered 20 hp more. It was mated to a standard 7-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox.
