The new 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo is quick, but you have to add the optional Tiptronic S five-speed automatic transmission to make the car race to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.
This sporty vehicle hit the U.S. on June 24. The 2007 model has a few style updates on the front and rear that make this sporty racer almost futuristic.
This sixth generation of the 911 models, the 2007 911 Turbo, has a new electronically controlled multidisc clutch, the standard six-speed manual transmission or the optional five-speed automatic transmission as well as an optional ceramic-composite brake system.
The 911 Turbo’s 3.6-liter boxer-six engine produces 480 hp, which is 60 hp more than its predecessor, raising the output to an all-time high of 133 hp per liter.
This engine’s torque curve is even more impressive with peak torque rising to 457 pound-feet and spanning a range from 1,900 to 5,000 rpm
