The Porsche 911 Turbo 997 debuted at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show.
The 3.6 boxer turbochargers are the world's first variable geometry turbochargers. Previously, they did not know how to make enough heat-resistant structures that would withstand the operating temperature of a gasoline engine. Thus, a motor with a capacity of 480 hp. almost got rid of the "turbo lag", and the peak torque of 620 N • m became available in the range of 1950-5000 rpm. This was enough for a 1585 kg coupe equipped with a six-speed “mechanics” to gain a hundred in 3.9 seconds (with the old “automatic” - in 3.7 seconds) and accelerate to 310 km / h. The convertible, introduced in 2007, was one-tenth slower at 100 km / h at the same top speed.
In the summer of 2009, the Germans carried out a restyling of the Turbo version, the highlight of which was the debut of a fundamentally new 3.8 engine with direct injection (500 hp, 650 N • m) and a preselective "robot" PDK with two clutches, which replaced the Mercedes "hydromechanics ". The 530-horsepower versions of the Turbo S and Turbo S Cabriolet also returned to the price lists.
