Porsche 911 GTD in the test:

Sound like A Diesels

Who does not know it, roaring, roaring the legend, the double-piston engine Porsche 911. Likewise the Design of the Elfers, whose silhouette is nearly unchanged since 1963. Engine and body, a sports car myth. 2004 line up again once a model change. From that 996, the internal Porsche designation for the current 911, becomes the 997. Further the classical form remains, nevertheless is a sensation to be reported. Beside two double-piston engines, with 3,6 and 3,8 litres capacity, with premium fuel claimant, will for the first time give it a 4 litre of Diesel diesel-Boxer in 911.

Basis engine new 911 remains the 3.6 litres with 320 HP, over it follows a 3.8 litre, as s-version, with 350 HP, which also the all wheel variant C4 will receive.

The new Porsche from the inside.


2005 will then rise the 911-Fans a new smell from the four final pipes of the new exhaust system into the nose, Diesels. Zurzeit develops Porsche, on basis old-venerable boxer, a Diesel with newest Common Rail technology and four-valve technology. Support keeps the Weissacher sports car sportwagenschmiede world-wide prominent thereby from Alfa Romeo, in the innovative engine technology. The capacity of the new diesel set will amount to 4 litres, distributed on 6 cylinders. For the appropriate achievement six parallel switched mini KKK turbochargers, per cylinder of one, provide which works with 0,3 bar. The well-known starting weakness of a turbo-Diesel is avoided by the number and arrangement of the turbochargers. The yield of the Zwangsbeamtung is to be with approximately 300 horse power.

A majority of the engine components will consist of ceramic(s), which compensates the disadvantage of the higher engine weight of a Diesel to a large extent opposite a petrol engine. The 4 litres Diesel will become more difficult presumably only ten kilograms than the 3.8 litres of boxer. The Agilitaet when driving remains thus.

The heart will more highly strike friends of the torque and the acceleration elasticity resulting from it in new 911 GTD. the new Diesel engine is to lift 740 Newtonmeters on the crankshaft. The 3.6 litres, as Benziner, against it schlappe 370 Nm, even the current GT2 with turbo engine reach only 620 Nm. Probably the value necessarily for the intermediate spurt of 80 to 120 km/h at 4.5 seconds to lie, the GT2 with 462 HP against it 4.7 seconds. In short a bull engine.

The 4 litres Boxerdiesel must make reductions against it in the maximum speed, which will be with about 270 kilometers per hour. The basis engine, with transmission, reaches against it 285 km/h. On the one hand the Diesel carries "only" 300 HP and it out gives it for the time being alone with the Porsche mechanism Tiptronic. The forces of the torque would suddenly divide to time each transmission into its individual parts. Only later it is the new Porsche double clutch (PDK), which 2004 in new 997 is introduced, with which forces 4 litres of the Diesel take up can. Experts assume even as 7-Gang-Schaltgetriebe, laid out for a maximum permissible load of 1.000 Newtonmeters.

The 911 GTD it only as Coupé to give, with tail or all-wheel drive, in the Cabrio and the Targa is not intended the installation of the Diesel. For confusion the model designation GTD could provide, the GT stands otherwise for the uprated models from the house Porsche with turbo-body.

Service-station attendants will have in the future tears in the eyes, if the Diesel Porsche by-brews. The average consumption is to be with 10 litres per 100km, maximum consumption with 13 litres. To that the engine will be by the use of Peugeot Russfiltern extremely low-pollution. According to statement of Porsche the 911 GTD a symbiosis of strength and sportyness, paired with thriftiness and ecological efficiency to represent for the first time.

Tension promises the attitude of the eingefleischten Porsche fans whether drivers or only viewers of the myth. As well known they see usually each change as betrayal to the eleven-hunting. If the new 911er turned however first times appeared, the ignition key the fact that accelerotor pedal depressed is fast again smoked their anger. Probably also this time. European-wide rises the paragraph of cars with diesel engines, which control the overhauling trace of the motorway in constant number. Nothing reminds more of lame ducks, which creep over the roadway. Why itself Porsche also decided to develop the 911 GTD around it as new technical icon 21. To present century. According to estimations from the Porsche center in white oh, starting from the year 2006 European-wide thirty per cent of all sold Elfer Coupés will be equipped with that 4 litres of Diesel diesel-Boxer.

Over the exact price still nothing is well-known, however for probably 5,000 euro over that 3.8 litres of boxer will be appropriate. An interesting question would remain clarifying still: How the 911 with the Diesel diesel-Boxer will sound? Over it Porsche is silent itself out. We can be surprised
