As time has gone by several things can be said about the Porsche 911 series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their car. The 6-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.

Porsche 911 Engine Specs

The 911 Turbo is equipped with a Porsche 3.6 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Porsche.

The 911 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 2005 911 is a Bosch ME-7.8 design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 14.10 gallons.

Vehicle Statistics

The 911 is 170.40 inches long, 70.90 inches wide, and 51.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 95.10 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the 911 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $53,100 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $46,314. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The 911 Turbo received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 18 in-city driving and twenty six when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.
