先日新しい997ターボが発表された(現行車種の997版のフェースリフととなるが、変更は外部より内部が大きい)。PDKや直噴射等新たな技術を盛り込んだ製品となっている。しかし!大変な事が分かった。

964時台からGT3やターボ、GT2にも使われてきたGT1エンジンブロック。多くのチューナーが800HPを超える車に仕立てることが出来たのはこのGT1エンジンブロックのおかげだと言っても過言ではない。しかし今回の997ターボ.2(2010)では通常の997カレラSに使われている997M(A91)ブロックが使用される。既にこのブロックをチューンアップしテストしたアロイス・ルーフは「弊社でテストしたらブロックは破壊された」と報告をしている。500hpの997TT.2を少しでもいじればエンジンが破壊される。

先ほどの情報と違いエンジンのオイル供給はドライサンプだそうだ。米国用注文明細はこちらからダウンロードできる。 ちゃんとドライサンプと明記してありますね。

私は以前からこの辺を米国のRennlist等、情報豊富なForumで読んでいた。現在の2007年997ターボをMTで購入したのも次世代の車がGT1ブロックを使わず、100万円以上も安く生産できる997Mに変わると読んでいたからだ。最後の「グレートポルシェ」は水冷から空冷に変わる993だと言われているがGT1ブロックが最後のグレートポルシェになるんだろうと思う。

RENNLISTで叩かれる新型エンジンブロック

Porsche released specs of their 2010 new turbo. It is a facelift (more changes inside than outside) but is offering a inferior engine block and wet sump oil system. How can they do this to their loyal users?

PRESS RELEASE:

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is proudly presenting a new top model at the pinnacle of its broad range of production sports cars: The new Porsche 911 Turbo combines far-reaching innovations in technology with fine tuning and supreme refinement in design. All key features of this high-performance sports car have been significantly improved, the new 911 Turbo combining a substantial improvement in fuel efficiency and lower weight with more power, even higher speed, and enhanced driving dynamics.

Particularly in terms of fuel economy and dynamic performance, the new top-of-the-range 911 from Zuffenhausen now stands out even more than before from its competitors in the market. Porsche's new top model will be presented to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show from 17 - 27 September.

The heart and highlight of the seventh generation of the Turbo is the new power unit displacing 3.8 litres and delivering maximum output of 500 bhp (368 kW). The first entirely new engine in the 35-year-history of the Turbo comes with features such as Direct Fuel Injection and Porsche's exclusive turbocharger with variable turbine geometry on a gasoline power unit. And as an option, the new six-cylinder may be combined for the first time with Porsche's seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (Double-Clutch Gearbox).

Models equipped with PDK are also available with a new, optional three-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles as an alternative to the standard steering wheel with its proven shift buttons. Fitted firmly on the steering wheel, the right paddle is for shifting up, the left paddle for shifting down. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo both the gearshift paddle and the PDK steering wheel with its shift buttons come with integrated displays for Launch Control and the Sport/Sport Plus mode, which are however designed differently on the two steering wheels.

The combination of PDK, Direct Fuel Injection and turbocharging ensures an unprecedented standard of efficiency, agility, responsiveness and performance, the Porsche 911 Turbo reducing CO2 emissions versus its predecessor by almost 18 per cent and therefore ranking unique in its segment also in this respect. Depending on the configuration of the car, the new top model requires just 11.4 - 11.7 ltr/100 km (equal to 24.8 - 24.1 mpg imp) under the EU5 standard. And unlike most other cars in its segment, the new Turbo remains even further below the crucial level of fuel consumption for gas guzzler tax in the USA, the special tax imposed on cars with substantial fuel consumption. All this despite acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Top speed, in turn, is 312 km/h or 194 mph.

The Turbo driver of the future will also enjoy a further improvement in driving dynamics, detailed enhancement of PTM fully controlled all-wheel drive and PSM Porsche Stability Management being further supported by new PTV Porsche Torque Vectoring available as an option. This makes the car even more agile and precise in its steering for an even higher level of driving pleasure.

Sales of the new Porsche 911 Turbo in both Coupé and Cabriolet guise are starting in Germany on 21 November 2009. The Euro base price without value-added tax and national specifications is Euro 122,400.- for the Coupé and Euro 131,800.- for the Cabriolet. The gross retail price in Germany, therefore, is Euro 145,871.- for the Coupé and Euro 157,057.- for the Cabriolet, in each case including 19% value-added tax and national specifications.

What’s the new engine in this new Porsche 911 Turbo? (from TeamSpeed)

Unbelievably, it’s the first entirely new engine in the 35-year history of the Turbo. Essentially it’s the same direct-injection 3.8-litre flat-six that you’ll find in regular 911s, but now fitted with variable geometry twin turbos to give a healthy 493bhp, a 20bhp increase over the current car.
Porsche also claims CO2 emissions are down by around 18%, fuel consumption is improved, the 0-62mph time is cut to 3.4 seconds and the top speed is up two notches to 194mph.

A six-speed manual is still standard, but for the first time the seven-speed double-clutch PDK gearbox is available. And the good news for enthusiasts is that although the counter-intuitive rocker switches are standard, customers can opt for proper steering wheel-mounted paddles. Spec the optional Sport Chrono Package and whether you pick the paddles or switches, the steering wheel also comes with an integrated display for the Launch Control and Sport/SportPlus modes.

Other tweaks include new front and rear lights, a mildly revised interior in line with the rest of the 911 range, and changes to the four-wheel drive hardware.

The new 911 Turbo will officially be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September, before going on sale in November 2009. The coupe version will cost £101,823 (up from £99,679) and the cabriolet is priced at £109,048, a £3144 increase."
