Doha: The 911 has been the world’s best-selling sports car for decades. Now a new generation of Porsche’s iconic models (pictured) has arrived to further extend its dominance, the company said in a statement.
With innovative turbo flat engines, an advanced chassis designed for optimum performance, as well as a new infotainment system, the new model is well-equipped to continue the 911 Carrera’s reign as a segment leader. The new engines set benchmarks in terms of performance, driving pleasure and efficiency. The rear-axle steering, available as an option for the Carrera models for the first time, further extends the range of driving dynamics.
A range of exterior features have been refined, these include new headlights with four-point daytime running lights, a redesigned rear lid with vertical louvres and new rear lights, featuring the distinctive four-point brake lights. In the interior, the updated Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a multi-touch display offers a considerably expanded range of functions and simplified operation.
The completely new engine generation with bi-turbo charging, raises the emotional driving pleasure in the 911 Carrera to an even more intense level, with 370 hp at the rear of the vehicle, waiting to be unleashed and converted into sporty propulsion. The engine in the new 911 Carrera S also now delivers more power, with 420 hp. Both derivatives now have a power increase of 20 hp, and a displacement of three litres.
The new Porsche engines are characterised by significantly increased torque (60 Nm in each version) with maximum torque of 450 Nm and 500 Nm respectively, delivered constantly from a low 1,700 rpm up to 5,000 rpm, ensuring excellent driving performance. At the same time with a maximum level of 7,500 rpm, the new engines clearly exceed conventional turbo engines – underscored by the typical sonorous Porsche engine sound.
Every new 911 boasts performance and efficiency enhancements compared with predecessors. Depending on the model variant, the new engine generation is almost 12 percent more efficient: fuel consumption is reduced by up to a litre per 100km. The new 911 also boasts impressive performance.
