Porsche power package available for 2002 911 Turbo
If you haven't already ordered your 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo (right), here's a
tip: Be sure to add the optional X50 enhancement package.
The factory-only option boosts engine output to 450 hp (from 415 hp) and
torque to 457 lb-ft at 3500-4500 rpm (vs. 415 at 4600 rpm). It also shoves
the $116,000 base price up by $17,700, but that's a relative bargain for
near-GT2 horsepower in an all-wheel-drive Porsche for two-thirds the price
of the rwd GT2. The package modifies the turbocharger, air intake cooler,
electronic control unit and exhaust system, and adds a strengthened
transmission. Sorry, the option can't be retrofitted to 2001 or previously
produced 2002 Turbos.
