Driving enthusiasts may notice that "turbo" has been dropped from model name of the new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera. That's because all Porsches are now turbocharged. MotorWeek recently reviewed the newest edition of the 911 and reports that it remains the standard-setter among high performance sports cars.
Let's cut to the chase: Porsche claims a 3.7-second 0-60 mph The engine is still a flat-six cylinder, now just 3.0-liters; but with a pair of turbos, ratcheting output up to 370 horsepower. That’s a 20 hp increase from 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.
