It can be difficult for an untrained eye to spot the differences between the old and new versions of 997 991 911, but people have said that for years when it comes to model the most famous Porsche. 911 did not change significantly when it comes to style, but there's enough going on under the meat to justify it is called a "new" model.
First, in a move that is sure to anger the purists, the 911 is growing in size again (the last big break came with the introduction of 996). The rear-engined sports car is now 3.9 "longer length of the vehicle for a total of 179.5." However, Porsche counters with the fact that the total vehicle weight has been reduced through the use of 100 pounds of steel lightweight aluminum and composite materials. If the number of Porsche is accurate, that should put a base Carrera less than 3000 pounds.
Another new feature is a blend of "world first" seven-speed manual for those who prefer their own gear row. For those who prefer the computer to change the micro-level, seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is available. Porsche has even installed an automatic start / stop system 911, which helps improve fuel efficiency while driving in the city.
Even if Porsche has not revealed the new U.S. EPA numbers 911, the company says that fuel consumption was down 16 percent compared to the outgoing model in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
The engines are mostly in Mobile, this time, but the power belongs to the Carrera (3.4) and the Carrera S (3.8). 3.4-liter flat-6 is up to 350hp (up to 5HP), while the larger 3.8-liter flat-6 jumps to 400hp (up to 15HP).
As in previous models, the 911 with the PDK transmission will be faster on the track and cars equipped with manual transmission. La Carrera with PDK can hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 179 mph. The Carrera S PDK with Sport Chrono Package you can dance in 3.9 seconds and reach 188 mph.
However, this is fun going to cost a serious amount of money - the base Carrera MSRP is valued at $ 82 100. The intensification of the Carrera S will cost a whopping $ 96,400, and before the surge option that opens when it's time to order your new 911.
