Porsche 911 Turbo, In 1974 Porsche introduced the first production turbocharged 911. Although called simply Porsche 911 Turbo in Europe, it was marketed as Porsche 930 (930 being its internal type number) in North America. Porsche 911 Turbo starting out with a 3.0 L engine 260 PS (190 kW; 260 hp), these early cars are known for their exhilarating acceleration coupled with challenging handling characteristics and extreme turbo lag.
Not many cars automatically cut the engine in stop-start traffic to save fuel and also have launch control to burn fuel as fast as scientifically possible. But that’s the case with the new 911 Turbo. Use the optional launch control system and it'll blast to 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
