The turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S now produces 450 hp.
The most important technical data at a glance: : 3.0-liter turbocharged 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, 450 hp at 6,500 rpm, 530 Nm , top speed 308 km/h, 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.
The design now fits the family
You have to look very closely at the nose. Then you can see two centimeters more nose length for assistants and pedestrian protection. Michael Mauer, Head of Porsche Style: "The headlights are now a bit steeper, the apron is new, and the hood is larger. Wheelbase and height remain the same, the width changes in the millimeter range." At the rear, the 911 now looks meaner, its spoiler wider, the light bar flatter. Fits in with the family.
Wet mode is a world first
Porsche has developed the standard Wet Mode as a world first. Sensors in the wheel arches detect wet roads, and the car then recommends Wet Mode. August Achtleitner, head of the 911 and 718 model series: "This changes the throttle response and shifting strategy, making the car easier to control on slippery roads. The warning and brake assistant, which is also standard, detects the risk of collisions with moving objects and initiates emergency braking."
Good times on the Nordschleife
At the premiere in Los Angeles Auto Show (until December 9, 2018), the manufacturer proudly announced that it was five seconds faster on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring than its predecessor. August Achtleitner: "That one had 30 hp less, though. True fans will certainly be particularly pleased with this result."
No revolution in the interior
Almost identical shapes and dimensions allow no surprises in the interior. The infotainment and speedometer have been taken over from the Panamera and Cayenne. Only the tachometer remains analog; displays light up to the left and right of it. They simulate the round instruments that are so characteristic of the 911. Unusual: The tiny automatic selector lever comes from the 918 super sports car. You can no longer shift gears here, only set the direction.
