For Porsche, Turbo is more than a model name. It is the expression of a number of very special properties. But one thing stands out: a turbo is always a technology carrier. Since Porsche introduced the model name Turbo for the flagship of the 45 series 911 years ago, it has stood for the fastest, the most exciting, in short: the best. Turbo has become synonymous with the top model, like “Tesa®” for the adhesive tape or “Tempo®” for the handkerchief. A Porsche Turbo is more than a model variant, it is a principle. A turbo is the top model, the limit of what is possible. A turbo is the high-flyer in its segment.
"Turbo" stands for technological leadership
At Porsche, Turbo always stands for technological leadership and the combination of apparently incompatible attributes. A turbo combines driving dynamics with efficiency, builds a bridge from tradition to innovation and, despite all its exclusivity, offers uncompromising suitability for everyday use.
The 911 series manager Dr. Frank Walliser explains the “Turbo principle” using the example of the new top model from the 992 series, also with the demands of the developers on themselves. “A turbo must not only be visually clearly distinguishable, you must be able to feel the difference clearly. The effort to differentiate is correspondingly great, not only in terms of the design, but also the chassis and the engine, ”says Walliser. The silhouette of the new 911 Turbo is the best example of this distinction. The combination of the large rear wing and front spoiler in conjunction with the wide fenders has always been a distinguishing feature of the particularly powerful XNUMX.

The newly designed 3.745 cm3 six-cylinder boxer engine with its 478 kW (650 hp) in the Turbo S is also advancing into new dimensions. Because superior performance is not only a traditional characteristic, but also a central and emotional demand on a turbo.
911 turbo models
930, 911 Turbo (965), 911 Turbo (993), 911 (996), 911 Turbo (997II), 911 Turbo (991II), 911 Turbo (992)
This is precisely why a turbo is always an icebreaker when new technologies are ready for series production. Anything that helps it achieve new top performance will in future also be used in other models and generations. Be it the all-wheel control, the adaptive aerodynamics or superior braking technology: a turbo is always a pioneer.
Pioneering achievements in all Porsche series
The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid is an exciting example of this. With the support of its V8 biturbo engine by a 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor, it not only enables top performance in terms of driving dynamics, but also underpins its claim as the flagship of the model range.
With the intelligent performance through the perfect interaction of two drives, the Turbo S E-Hybrid is also a technical pioneer for the future. With the combination of whisper-quiet electric operation and enormous acceleration ability in Sport Plus mode, the top model of the Cayenne series provides a unique emotionalisation of the hybrid technology.
The "Turbo principle" also applies to the Porsche Taycan
The all-electric Taycan in particular shows that the type designation is no longer linked to the use of an exhaust gas turbocharger. On the contrary: almost all Porsche models today have exhaust gas turbochargers - but the use of the name “Turbo” is reserved for the technological pioneers, the emotional stars. In the case of the locally emission-free Taycan Turbo S, in addition to its Performance Battery Plus and its particularly powerful 600-ampere pulse-controlled inverter on the front and rear axles, it is above all the breathtaking performance.
It goes from zero to 200 in just 9,6 seconds and almost as often as you like. The standard PCCB brake system ensures equal braking performance. With 420 millimeter ceramic discs, which are gripped by ten-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers, the Taycan Turbo S brakes at the same time as one of the largest braking systems used by Porsche in series production.
Porsche triad of electric, plug-in hybrid and gasoline engine
As the former head of development for the 918 Spyder, Walliser knows how important it is to push your limits. With a turbo in particular, the high level of emotionalisation of a technology, and one that supports the performance of the entire vehicle, is always an essential argument for its use.
This explains why the Turbo lettering is not only emblazoned on the combustion engine variants, but also on the top models of the other two drive concepts. Porsche is facing the challenges of future mobility with the triad of electric, plug-in hybrid and gasoline engine. The clever use of efficient and environmentally friendly technologies not only ensures greater independence from fossil fuels, but also creates even greater emotions.
A Porsche Turbo is always the spearhead of its segment
Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. With its system output of 515 kW and 870 Nm, it not only achieves top values in terms of driving performance, but was also able to increase the electric range by 17,9 percent thanks to its new 30 kWh battery. And so the top-of-the-line hybrid model also confirms what has been unequivocally established for 45 years: a Porsche Turbo is always the spearhead of its segment.
