Prestige Porsche

For nearly 50 years, no car has remained so instantly recognizable; yet no car has undergone such constant change. Porsche's most legendary model has remained at the vanguard of sports car performance, not because it is an icon, but because it is an iconoclast. The next 911 exemplifies this apparent contradiction. Its identity is unmistakable. Yet 90 percent of its components are either new or fundamentally revised.

Not a single surface remains unaltered. Yet, somehow, every enthusiast knows it at a glance. What makes this new design so emphatically a 911? It's what you see - and what you don't. In this and every 911, not a single line is wasted. By shunning the superfluous, its form invites the eye to slip over its surface, just as the air slips over its contours with a drag coefficient of just 0.29. It is by following function, rather than fashion, that this legendary sports car retains its timeless appeal. In the new 911, its pure form also speaks volumes about the car's balanced temperament, manifesting an unprecedented balance of athleticism and refinement.

   

Since the introduction of that first Porsche in 1948, we have demonstrated that comfort is not only compatible with driving performance - it is essential. Harmony between man and machine is especially evident in the new 911. The layout of the instruments and controls, the logic of their operation, even the tactile sensation engineered into every interior surface, are designed to relax the senses while providing all the information needed in a new generation of highly advanced sports car.

Through its history, the 911 has served as a summation of everything we know. Today, concepts proven over a half century are enriched by groundbreaking innovations, ideas that not only make for a better sports car, but something even more impressive: a better 911.

   

The new engines follow the timehonored 911 design: six horizontally opposed cylinders provide a lower center of gravity than do more common configurations. Output has been increased to 350 horsepower in the new 911 Carrera and 400 horsepower in the 911 Carrera S.

Both models are equipped with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus for increased power and reduced fuel consumption. This power is transmitted to the wheels by the introduction of the world's first seven-speed manual gearbox or, optionally, the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, which offers gear changes with no interruption in the flow of power.

   

If there is one tradition we hold sacred, it is our commitment to innovation. If there is one car that crystallizes our latest thinking, it is the 911. The ideals embodied in every generation of this legendary car - race-bred performance, everyday practicality - have once again been taken to the next level.
