2010 Porsche 911 Turbo US Pricing Released

The North American division of Porsche yesterday announced the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will go on sale on January 30 at its US dealers, just three months after the debut of the Panamera. The new 911 Turbo will be more powerful and more efficient, as it comes with 20 more horsepower and a 13 percent increase in fuel economy.

Getting straight to the point, prices for the 2010 Turbo Coupe and Turbo Cabriolet have been set at $132,800 and $143,800, respectively.

"We are very excited to welcome the all-new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo into the family," said Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "More than ever, this supercar is a technological tour de force, and the seemingly unanimous accolades from the media support what we already believe; this is the best 911 Turbo ever."

The new top of the range 911 is powered by a 3.8-liter boxer engine that generates a maximum power of 500 bhp (368 kW) and a maximum torque of 700 Nm when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo. The car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds when combined with the new seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (Double-Clutch Gearbox).

The top speed was rated at 312 km/h (194 mph) for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models and its EPA estimates have been rated at 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

"The Porsche 911 Turbo has always represented the pinnacle of the 911 model line since it was first introduced in 1974," said von Platen. "Now, 35 years later, the Turbo is still considered the standard when looking for the perfect combination of supercar performance with everyday drivability."
