The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo gets a significant boost in horsepower for this year.

Porsche is rolling out the next generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S with a long-list of features such an all-wheel-drive system, active rear-axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, full-LED headlights, and up to 560 horsepower from a flat six-cylinder engine with twin-turbochargers.

The new 911 Turbo is an ultra performance car with an entirely new chassis and lightweight design with a 3.9-inch longer wheelbase and larger 20-inch wheels. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control active anti-roll system, which is being offered for the first time in 911 Turbo models, increases dynamic performance even more.

Standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S, is the Sport Chrono Package Plus with dynamic engine mounts, and Porsche Carbon Ceramic Composite Brakes, which are optional on the 911 Turbo. The result: The new 911 Turbo S shortens the lap time for the North Loop of the Nurburgring to well under seven and a half minutes – using standard production tires.

The new 911 Turbo S rockets from zero to 60 mph in less than three seconds.

The new engine and refined PDK transmission is partnered with a new Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The turbocharged 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection produces 520 hp in the 911 Turbo and 560 hp in the S model

The interplay of the engine, transmission and all-wheel drive systems results in improvements to the acceleration capabilities of the 911 Turbo and Turbo S, according to Porsche. The 911 Turbo with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, on its way to a top track speed of 196 mph. The 911 Turbo S handles the sprint to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, with a top track speed of 198 mph.

Visually, the two new top variants of the 911 lineup are set apart by wide rear body panels of the new generation 911 Turbo are a further 1.1 inches wider than on the 911 Carrera 4- the fenders feature a nearly level surface, about the width of a hand, between the C-pillar and the outer edge of the car body.

Other differentiating characteristics include forged two-tone 20-inch aluminum wheels. On the 911 Turbo S they have center hub wheel locks. The Turbo S is further differentiated by new, standard full-LED headlights featuring four-point daytime running lights and camera-based high/low beam control, which can be ordered as an option for the 911 Turbo.

At speeds above 50 mph, the system steers the rear wheels parallel to the front wheels. This is equivalent to a virtual lengthening of the wheelbase by 19.6 inches and gives the car tremendous directional control capability. At the same time, the steering input by the driver leads to significantly faster build-up of lateral force at the rear axle, which responds to steering commands even more quickly.

Porsche also developed an active aerodynamic system on the new 911 Turbo models for the first time, consisting of a retractable three-stage front spoiler, whose segments can be pneumatically extended, and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable wing positions.

The interior was completely redesigned in both 911 Turbo models, and it builds on the 911 Carrera family. A radar-controlled cruise control system, camera-based road sign recognition, and speed limit recognition are other new options being offered.

The new top models of the 911 model series arrive on the market at the end of 2013 in the United States. The 911 Turbo is priced from $148,300 while the 911 Turbo S begins at $181,100, not including a destination charge of $950.
