At the upcoming North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Porsche will introduce an updated version of the current generation 911 Turbo. With all regular production 911s now powered by a turbocharged engine, it was time to underline that the actual Turbo model is a bit more special. As before, it features a 3.8-litre engine equipped with two variable turbine geometry turbos. Revisions to the inlet ports in the cylinder head, new injection nozzles and higher fuel pressure have raised the power by 20 hp to 540 hp for the 911 Turbo and to 580 hp for the 911 Turbo S, which is also fitted as standard with carbon-ceramic brakes. Both the Turbo and the Turbo S are also available as convertibles.
While processing the revised 911 Turbo models, our thoughts couldn't help but wander to the great Turbo-engined competition cars. One of our absolute favourites of these is the Kremer developed 935 K3, which is the most successful of all 935 variants, and the only one to win Le Mans outright. While many more existing cars were upgraded by their respective owners, Kremer only constructed around 13 K3s from scratch using bare shells supplied by Porsche. With today's addition of the ex-Barbour Racing 1980 Sebring 12 Hours and IMSA GT Championship winning chassis 000 0009, we now feature nine different examples. We have also added more images of two examples that competed in select CER rounds this year: chassis 009 0005 and the ex-Bob Akin 000 0013, which raced in period with both Jagermeister and Coca Cola colours.
