The performance car with an eye for detail
Our metallic Silver Porsche performance car is a stellar addition to our fleet of prestige rental cars. It has a host of new features to set it apart from its Porsche predecessors, and in particular, it is a car with added security features including an upgraded braking system. It has as much power that you would expect from a classic Porsche and Signature Car Hire is proud to offer this supercar on a self drive hire basis which we hope will exceed your needs and expectations of a performance car hire.

Performance
The engine of the Porsche features an integral bi-plane rear spoiler and the enclosed twin tailpipes highlight the strength of this performance car. The power of the Porsche engine is a great choice if you are looking for a stylish performance car for a short term rental period as it does not scrimp on speed. It can go from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and has an astonishing top speed of 193 mph. It has BHP power of 480, as well as a powerful torque of 457.

Exterior
Our Porsche 911 Turbo supercar has high performance indicators in the outer air intake ducts which work with other parts including the front fog lights which ensure that you are safe while driving our performance 911 Turbo.
 

The wheels make a statement and have 19 inch alloys with a glossy two-tone finish which are spiced with low profile tyres. These tyres will make the car drive smoothly on the road for your self drive hire. These combined with the cruise control system, parking sensor and park distance control make this super care easy to handle and park too, essential if you are taking the car for a short rental period only.

The exterior also includes an alarm system, central door locking and Bi-xenon adaptive headlights to give you a completely secure rental experience.

Interior
The 40 mm steering wheel is spiked with three spokes, adding a tough military edge to the car's interior design. You will adore driving our Porsche 911 Turbo 9977 two seater supercar with its automatic transmission, visible once you enter the car. The instrument and speed dials are clearly visible in front of the steering wheel, so you are always in control. In fact the attention to detail and design are sublime and it epitomises all the Porsche are.

Character
Although the figures provide succinct proof of its power, there is one value in particular that makes a 911 Turbo what it is: constancy. Of course, much has changed in the course of seven generations, but the basic principle remains the same.

The new 911 Turbo handles its power effortlessly and with composure. Power is available at all times. The six-cylinder boxer engine with DFI now outputs 368 kW (500 hp) at 6,000 rpm and summons up 650 Nm of torque between 1,950 rpm and 5,000 rpm. Despite the extra power, it has been possible to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions significantly, by up to 16% and 18% respectively, depending on the model.

Here are some more fascinating facts: with the standard six-speed manual gearbox, the traditional 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint is achieved in just 3.7 seconds. With the optional PDK and Sport Chrono Package Turbo with dynamic engine mount system, this time is reduced even further, to 3.4 seconds. The 200 km/h (124 mph) mark is reached in 11.9 and 11.3 seconds respectively. Top speed is 312 km/h (194 mph).

These figures undoubtedly brand the new 911 Turbo as a super athlete. Yet the amazing thing is the ease with which the driver can achieve them. Helping to make it all so easy are the standard-fitted Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). What’s also interesting is that these technologies not only produce impressive performance figures, they also vastly improve the car’s everyday practicality.

The same can be said for the comfortable interior. Leather trim, a new-design three-spoke sports steering wheel and the multi-way electrically adjustable comfort seats with driver memory function come as standard. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a GPS navigation system features intuitive controls, while the standard BOSE® Surround Sound System provides an impressive sound experience. Seat ventilation, steering wheel heating and many other personalisation options are available on request.

The new 911 Turbo. Whether you perceive it as a no-compromise embodiment of the power principle or as a technology platform that effortlessly combines efficiency with comfort and a sporty edge depends on one thing above all else: your point of view.

Design
The styling is dynamic without being fussy. Sporty without being ostentatious. In short, no gimmicks, no showiness, no doubts. The side air-intake grilles in the front apron now have titanium-coloured painted slats. To the right or left respectively of the grilles are the new daytime running lights, positioned low down. Like the indicators, they utilise LED technology to provide increased illumination and give a characteristic look. Optional dynamic cornering lights are an additional safety feature.

Glancing over the sides of the vehicle, you will notice the linear, no-frills twin-spoke design of the new 911 Turbo II wheels. Elements of the spokes and wheel rim have a high-sheen finish. The wheels are forged and the sophisticated technology facilitates a lightweight, yet highly rigid design. The new exterior mirrors ensure better rearward visibility.

The rear features new LED taillights that extend right round to the wings where they taper to a point. The LED brake lights respond extremely quickly, thereby increasing active safety. In other words, the traffic behind is warned sooner. The two tailpipes now have larger diameters. They are positioned neatly in the recesses of the rear apron and provide a visual reminder of the engine’s increased power.

The typical well-balanced aerodynamics of the 911 Turbo remain unchanged. The rear wing extends at 120 km/h (75 mph), retracting again when vehicle speed drops to around 60 km/h (37 mph). The drag coefficient is just 0.31 (Cabriolet: 0.32).

The interior design reveals all the typical characteristics: sporty, uncluttered and ergonomically refined. Careful consideration has been given to the interior geometry and there is a generous amount of occupant space. The gear lever design is exclusive to the 911 Turbo models. Available for the first time is the optional three-spoke sports steering wheel with shift paddles for vehicles with PDK. In short, a design which is classic without being outdated.
