The Porsche 911 Turbo for 2001
Several things can be said about the Porsche 911 series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The six-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.
Under the Hood
The restyled 911 Turbo is equipped with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A five-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2000 version.
The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 911 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The 911 is 174.50 inches long, 69.50 inches wide, and 51.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 92.60 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $72,000 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2001 911 is a Bosch ME-7.8 system, running on gasoline . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 16.90-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.
The 911 Turbo received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and twenty four when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.
We Think...
The 2001 model year was telling year for the Porsche 911. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Turbo version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
