Officially the new Porsche Turbo with about 11.5 litres/100 km uses less than his predecessor. This of course only if you do not drive in a fun-maximizing manner. This is supported by the double clutch gearbox which supports especially acceleration-intensive driving.

No, you would not really buy this car for fuel-saving purposes, you better prepare for consumption of up to 15 liters/100 km. Certainly those who expect a riot brother behind the name 'Turbo' should refer to the GT 3. The 911 Turbo behaves well if one stays more or less in the usual speed range.

As far as driving bends is concerned performance is better compared to the earlier models and sound replaces noise. So average drivers could perfectly cope with this car. Exactly this is the significance of this car. Only the purse must be well filled, but by no means primarily for fuel consumption since thanks to the newest direct injection technology it is kept to an acceptable level. 01/10
