2010 Porsche 911 Turbo

 While we may be happiest about the updated paddle shifters on PDK-equipped 2010 Porsche 911 Turbos, the force-fed 911 also gets a host of improvements to its performance.
Starting under the hood, Porsche bored-out its flat-six engine 0.2L to 3.8L and fitted it with direct injection, the 911 GT2's expansion intake manifold and a variable turbine geometry turbocharger. The result? A 20-hp and 15 lb-ft power increase, bringing the totals to a full 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Along the way, Porsche says it was able to drop CO2 emissions by an impressive 18% and coax the more-powerful engine into using "significantly less fuel," though exact figures are not yet available.
While a manual transmission is still available, Porsche is pushing its brilliant PDK dual-clutch gearbox, which now features the more-common left paddle to shift down, right paddle to shift up paddle shifter arrangement. Porsche says that the PDK-equipped 911 Turbo will hit 60 mph in a supercar sprint of just 3.2 seconds. Opting for the Sport Chrono Package, regardless of transmission, also adds Porsche's dynamic engine mounts, that can be softened or stiffened depending on the situation. Also available is Porsche Torque Vectoring, an upgrade to the AWD system that adds a mechanical limited-slip differential.
Deliveries of the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will begin in January 2010 for both hard-top coupe and drop-top convertible models. The former starts at $132,800, the latter at $143,800, and both will hit a top speed of 194 mph.
