Notes from Dr. Borkosky

You can take it to the shop to pick up milk without the headache of it being highly strung, it will cruise the highway without eroding your spine, and if you’re gentle it even returns pleasing fuel economy. Well, sort of. Michael Steiner, Chief Research and Development Officer Porsche AG has commented: “Porsche stands forboth tradition and innovation. Car speed inputs determine whether the rear wheels steer in the same or opposite direction of the front wheels. Right on time to mark the 70th anniversary of Porsche sports cars, the 911 Speedster embodied the original virtues of Porsche: lightweight construction, efficiency, purity and driving pleasure – delivered by a 375 kW (510 PS; Fuel consumption combined 13.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined 317 g/km) four-litre naturally aspirated engine, manual six-speed transmission and high-performance sports chassis.

And there was more to come: The fastest and most powerful 911 racing technology ever seen in a production road-going 911 appeared in 2017 in the form of the 515 kW (700 PS; Fuel consumption combined: 11.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 269 g/km) 911 GT2 RS. At the Detroit Motor Show in January 2014, Porsche introduced the Targa 4 and Targa 4S models. The host of innovations continued in the 911 Turbo, which saw the first active aerodynamics and particulate filter-equipped turbo engines on any 911 Carrera model. 9. 2. Pioneer, millionaire, bestseller: the 991 series has been the most comprehensively-developed generation of the 911 to date – and the most successful too, with 233,540 units produced. It fills me with pride, as well as a touch of sadness, to have to send it off into retirement. The Targa 4 and 4S were unveiled in October 2015. Of course, being a Carrera and getting a bit greedy with the throttle upon exit results it an easily controlled wiggle from its hips — something that can become rather entertaining in the right moment. Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show on 1 March, the 911 R shares most of its underpinnings with the GT3 RS, but does not include the roll cage, rear wing, and associated bodywork for a weight saving of 50 kg (110 lb).

6. The final specimen has now rolled off the production line: a 911 Speedster. The 911 T soon becomes an extension of yourself thanks to its predictability, rapid responses to inputs, and man-machine communication continuously updating your synapses. Secondly, it perhaps wasn’t marketed as well as other models with some people expecting a cut-price GT car, when realistically this model is more of a greatest hits album. Sure, the large alloys can send a thud through the cabin on rutted roads, and the lessened sound proofing means there’s more noise at speed, but generally speaking it’s a 911 like any other — an undoubted compliment. For myself, I can say that the 991 has given me enormous pleasure.”. With the changes and additions the car weighs in at a total of 1,380 kg (3,042 lb). Other highlights include a leather interior with perforated seats, red tinted daytime running lights, carbon fibre fenders, engine cover and hood and stone guards.

GT3 inspired fabric door-pulls and the hollow ‘thunk’ the doors make when closed start to hint at what this 911 wants to achieve. [21], In December 2015, Turbo and Turbo S versions were launched. When optioned with PDK, acceleration from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) is achieved consistently at 3.8 seconds with the help of Launch Control. You want to know what happens when you put its 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six to good use.

Said sports seats gently grip you in perforation for a sporting derive, but not so much so that they become uncomfortable on long motorway stints.

The revs build rapidly with an angered howl narrating the car’s brisk 0-62mph dash of 4.5 seconds.

Wheelbase has been increased to 4,457 mm (175.5 in). The 911 GT3 Touring followed in September 2017, with a manual transmission and without a fixed rear wing.

[28], The final production version of the Speedster was unveiled at the 2019 New York Auto Show in April and dropped the "Talbot" wing mirrors in favour of standard 991 wing mirrors and announced to be available for sale in May 2019.

Following an introduction at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 991 received a mid-cycle facelift for the 2017 model year. Aggressively pitching the car into a corner reveals those adaptive dampers at work, reducing body roll.

Yet, unlike the few 911 Ts on the secondhand market of late, it has been specced with the model’s purpose in mind. 8.

A Weissach package option is available. At the push of a button, however, the front section of the roof could be moved automatically and stored at the rear. The new 911 Targa, which came out at the end of 2012, was equally spectacular. The car also features the signature "hump" shaped double bubble roof cover along with a shorter windshield frame, side window glass and the analogue roof folding mechanism retaining the "Talbot" wing mirrors and the central fuel cap from the 911 Speedster concept unveiled earlier at the Goodwood Festival of Speed harking back to its use on the 356 Speedster. * Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law.

The auto start/stop function is standard on all variants of the 911 Carrera. [2] A new transaxle was developed so that the rear wheels could be moved 76 mm (3 in) backward in relation to the position of the engine, which significantly improves the weight distribution and cornering performance of the car.[3][4]. In October 2017, Porsche announced the 911 Carrera T (Touring), offering the base Carrera drivetrain but with shorter rear axle ratio, mechanical differential lock, PASM Sport lowered suspension, Sport Chrono package and sports exhaust as standard. The interior is your typical Porsche layout in that its first function is ergonomics. The 991 generation also proved the ideal basis for special models and radical sports cars.

What's the best option to sell your car when you don't want to sit it on the side of the road for sale? This also lead to some curiously specified 911 Ts, where the rear seats were reinstalled, somewhat undermining the greater purity this model aims to achieve. The exhaust system is claimed to be 10 kg (22 lb) lighter despite the addition of two petrol particle filters. Introduced in 2012, the 991 Turbo has a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre flat-6 engine generating 520 PS (382 kW; 513 hp) and 620 N⋅m (457 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 991 was an entirely new platform, only the third since the original 911 launched in 1963 (the 996 of 1999 was the second new platform). Lightweight rear glass, less sound deadening, a lack of rear seats and navigation, limited-slip differential, and so on, aims to create the enthusiast’s 911 of choice. Porsche is celebrating “Independence Day” with its overseas fans by airing a bonus episode of the YouTube Top 5 series.
