The 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo, shown here at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, was released in the United States in the Summer of 2000. Powered by a 420-horsepower 3.6-liter dual-overhead-cam, twin-turbocharged horizontally-opposed "flat" 6-cylinder "boxer" engine with 413 foot-pounds of torque at 2,700 rpm, with either a six-speed manual or a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, the all-wheel drive 911 Turbo could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour.

Externally, the 911 Turbo differed from the 911 Carrera with a unique front end with three large air intakes and differently-shaped headlights, wider rear fenders with intercooler ducting, and a retractable rear spoiler.
