From 1976, a naturally aspirated 3-litre engine worked under the rear bonnet of the Porsche 911. It replaced the 2.4 and 2.7-litre engines, before being replaced in 1983 by a 3.2-litre engine. And so it continued up to the 3.4 and 3.8 litres of the more modest versions of the current generation of the 911, born in December 2011 (Type 991). The engine size of the 911, in almost constant increase since the model’s introduction in 1963, officially comes to an end at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA), when the famous Zuffenhausen sports car, under pressure from international regulations that require manufacturers to avoid every last gram of carbon dioxide, returns to a displacement of 3 litres some 32 years after abandoning that engine size. According to Porsche, the reversal of the displacement curve of the famous six-cylinder should not slow the increase in power, torque or driving pleasure. A promise that Porsche drivers all over the world would gladly put to the test, but which some prefer not to believe. Proof of this is the worldwide rush for the last examples of the Type 991, which will go down in history as the last 911 with a naturally aspirated engine. The Turbo already existed in the 911 range, and now all models have a twin turbine that feeds the engine with fresh air. However, only the most powerful supercharged 911 may bear the name “Turbo”, in order to preserve the prestige of the supercar that descends in a direct line from the legendary 930 Turbo of 1974. The turbochargers of the new 2016 911 Carrera and Carrera S are not fitted with variable geometry: this technical refinement, introduced in 2006 as a world first on the 911 Turbo Type 997, remains reserved for the 911 Turbo.
