Vehicle Description
2006 Porsche 911 Turbo AWD. This Porsche is finished in stunning
Arctic Silver Metallic Paint accented by a Boxster Red leather
interior. Best of all the odometer is showing only 49,800 original
miles and the servicing is up to date. It is powered by a 3.6 L
Horizontally Opposed six cylinder engine mated to a Six Speed
Manual gearbox.
The water-cooled 24-valve 3.6-liter boxer is, in fact, a
turbocharged version of the dry-sump 911 GT3/GT1 engine, rather
than a blown and enlarged variant of the naturally aspirated 911's
3.4-liter powerplant. It shares the block, the pistons, and the
camshaft's chain drive with the GT3 and uses the same head
castings, smaller valves, and a different combustion-chamber shape.
For the Turbo, Porsche's VarioCam Plus system offers two intake
timing positions rather than the infinitely variable setup of the
GT3.
Each KKK K64 turbo serves its own cylinder bank with up to 12.3 psi
of intercooled boost. To cope with such high boost, the compression
ratio drops to 9.4:1. Output is rated at 415 horsepower at 6000 rpm
and, more significantly, 413 pound-feet of torque across a plateau
from 2700 rpm to 4600. The boost is so progressive it's almost
linear. It begins building at 1800 rpm, kicks a little at 2600, and
delivers a fevered torrent of power all the way to the 6600-rpm
redline and on to the 6750-rpm fuel cut-out. Porsche boasts that
this Turbo offers 15 more horsepower than the old one, apparently
forgetting the limited edition Turbo S that had 424 hp. The 911
Turbo rides on the 911's optional Sport suspension. The Turbo's
disc brakes are massive 13-inchers, cross-drilled and vented, with
four-piston calipers at each corner.
