New Porsche 911 Turbo!

By Ari Cheren
If you’ve been waiting for a new Porsche 911 to come out, today is a good day for you. With so many mid-2010 and 2011 model releases being announced right now, it’s no surprise that Porsche joined in the fun today, announcing that the 2010 911 Turbo will arrive at its U.S. dealers this week and go on sale on January 30 - just three months after the debut of the Panamera, Porsche’s first Gran Turismo and sports car for four.
Porsches are a staple in So Cal, even being referred to as a “Newport Beach Chevy” when I was growing up around so many awesome cars. And the turbo is the top of the line 911, offering up a thunderous 500 horsepower for 2010, and a zero to sixty time of just 3.2 seconds - true supercar numbers.
What’s surprising for the new 911, however, is its 25 m.p.g. fuel efficiency on the highway. With 20 more horsepower, and a 13 percent increase in fuel economy, the new 911 Turbo is indeed more powerful and more efficient. “We are very excited to welcome the all-new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo into the family,” said Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “More than ever, this supercar is a technological tour de force, and ... the best 911 Turbo ever.”
The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo features the first entirely new engine in its storied 35-year history. The new flat-six boxer engine now delivers 500 horsepower, 20 more than the previous power plant, and top track speed is 194 mph for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models.
The 2010 Turbo Coupe and Turbo Cabriolet prices are $132,800 and $143,800, respectively.
