Porsche 911 Turbo tested Arctic

Porsche is busy testing around the Arctic Circle and is now working with the 911, both the coupe and the convertible.

Porsche has a nice fleet test vehicles brought to the north as we saw earlier prototypes of the Macan, 918 and Panamera facelifted glide past in the Scandinavian snow.

This time it was the turn of the new 911 Turbo to prove themselves in extremely cold conditions. The test work with the Turbo has been going on for a while, in March we saw him for his test circles in the ring.

But it is also good to have as a manufacturer to know how the technique includes cold and slippery conditions. As the 4WD system that allows the standard Turbo is fitted.
Whether the mechanism of the convertible top, you'd rather not know it falters at minus 20 - although you may wonder if you need to open the roof at all at such temperatures.

Three turbos
the drive of the new 911 Turbo and Turbo convertible is powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with - allegedly - Three turbos, good for a capacity of about 520 hp. It seems that the next Turbo wheel drive also gets four-wheel steering.

A rear spoiler and extra vents on the sides are characteristics of the Turbo and the two dual exhausts. On one of the prototypes of the Convertible are two single outlets, according to our spy photographer this is another one that stems from the first test phase of the car.

In terms of timing, this year the first turn of the 911 GT3 to adapt to the audience to imagine, then comes the Turbo.
