Porsche is proud to present the new Porsche 911 Carrera, a new generation of the legendary cut, which as a reference vehicle in the sports world to be present since its launch in 1963. Tradition meets modernity True to tradition, the 911 shines, the language of the original design of the Porsche power and elegance. The characteristic silhouette still catch the eye and the insertion of new contours and details exciting work of precision, a step of more than 100 mm for greater stability and more interior space, front and rear overhangs are shorter, its compact size, 911-long attribute, the sporting aspect is accentuated by the low roofline and raised a wider front track presence of road even more, increasing the dynamic image of the celebrity. The back is flat six-cylinder, as a symbolic identity component 911, and behind the rear axle of the new car is a more powerful of the powerful, efficient and attractive boxer engines. "The Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a news 3.4 liter with 350 horsepower and pushed the Carrera S has a 400 hp version of the familiar 3.8-liter engines offer these new performance improvements for both models with 3.4 liter Carrera PDK accelerates from 0. . - 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the previous model. Press the button on the Sport Plus optional Sport Chrono Package, which cuts 4.4 sec. 62 mph in 4.3 seconds (Sport Plus 4.1 sec), 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor - the 3.8-liter Carrera S PDK to accelerate from 0. All new light body Principle among the step forward is the new innovative small-bodied, with a sleek aluminum-steel composite construction. And "responsible for a significant percentage of reducing vehicle weight to 45 kg. The body structure also provides greater rigidity and aerodynamic optimization - including a large rear wing stretching variable - has reduced the momentum generated by the new 911 Carrera, while maintaining an important factor in the total resistance. Innovative suspension technology This is the new 911 offers improved straight-line acceleration is obvious, but also offers performance at an unprecedented level of inventory dynamic set. In addition to a longer wheelbase, more agility, precision and driving stability is based in part on the right track wider front, a new rear axle and new electro-mechanical power steering. Depending on the model, there are other series or optional active steering is available as well as improved driving dynamics. This is especially true for the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll, for the first time the Porsche 911 Carrera S. Reduced body roll during cornering system, with the result that its tires still in the best location for the road and therefore more capable of transmitting lateral forces. Therefore, the maximum increase in the turns and speeds on a fast lap of the race are possible. Exterior design The well-known sporting look of the 911 is more dynamic with a 100 mm longer wheelbase, low height and left to alloy wheels 20 inches. At the same time, the typical compact exterior dimensions have been retained. Face, the eye is drawn to mark broadly curved wings, wider track front and makes the highlights of the new 911 Carrera, the adoption of a particularly sporty appearance in the street. The redesigned exterior mirrors are now installed on the top edge of the door and not on the mirror triangle. It is not only aerodynamically efficient, it also insists on the new design and the visual impression of width. Interior Design To complete the modern exterior, Porsche designers created an interior style is based, which makes the Porsche Carrera GT. Or PDK selector - - near the steering wheel is the driver for the typical motorsport is now even closer to the cockpit through the center console is brought to the front with raised integrated shifter. Classic Porsche style elements are also found inside, as they are outside. For example, the dashboard instruments with five circular, with the central dial, of course, the tachometer. On the right is a new high resolution screen, multi-function, only one of convenience features to meet customers' changing needs. Porsche Intelligent Performance Setting the standard in its class for both generations, the new Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S, standards of performance and efficiency to raise to a new level. Fuel consumption and emissions for all versions up to 16 percent less than its predecessors. In conjunction with the Porsche double-clutch (PDK) - - Among other things, this is achieved by systems and functions such as self-generated startup / shutdown, thermal management, restoration of the power system, d first in the world to seven speeds and a "boost" that decouples the engine to save fuel when the throttle is closed. The electromechanical power steering system provides not only expect the precision and feedback typical of a Porsche, but also helps increase efficiency and reduce consumption. For example, the Porsche 911 Carrera with the new 350 hp (257 kW) 3.4-liter direct injection and PDK option returns 34.4mpg based on the European Driving Cycle (NEDC) combined - 6mpg less than its predecessor. Even at 194 g / km of CO2, is to sit the first Porsche sports car is less than 200 g / km of CO2. In the case of the Carrera S with its 400 hp 3.8-liter engine with direct injection, the economy, when coupled with the optional PDK increased 14 percent, or 5 mpg to 32.4mpg, despite the power of 15 hp more than met. This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 205 g / km.
