As MotorWeek notes in a new review of the new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera, there has been some hysteria among driving enthusiasts that all 911's are now turbo. But no matter, says MotorWeek. Porsche has long been associated with turbos, and this is still the iconic German sports car that sets the standard for great looks and high performance.
The engine is still a flat-6, now just 3.0-liters; but with a pair of turbos, ratcheting output up to 370 horsepower. That’s 20 more hp than last year, and 90 more hp than the original 911 Turbo. And it still revs way past 7,000 RPM using 13-psi of boost to whip up 331 lb-ft. of torque. The Carrera S no longer gets its own engine, rather bigger turbos on the same 3.0; and an increase of boost to 16-psi; it produces 420 horsepower. There’s no lack of torque down low in either; Porsche claims a 3.7-second 0-60 mph time for the S, 4.0-flat for the base Carrera.
