In a new review of the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera, MotorWeek notes that as of this model year, all Porsches are turbo. Driving purists need not fret, however, the 911 still sets the standard for high-end sports cars. Click "play" in the video below to watch the full report.
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. Porsche claims a 3.7-second 0-60 mph time for the S, 4.0-flat for the base Carrera.
