Powertrain Options and Availability
Plain Porsches made do with a normally aspirated 3.6-liter horizontally opposed engine, mounted at the rear. Initially rated at 270 horsepower, the basic engine's output rose to 282 in 1996. The engine in a Turbo is identical in displacement, but twin turbochargers help push output to a whopping 400 horsepower. The Turbos S of 1997 got a 424-horsepower version of that engine. Turbos came only with 6-speed manual shift, but regular 911s could have Porsche's Tiptronic automatic transmission instead.
