Porsche’s latest 911 was revealed last month, but has just made its public premiere at the ongoing Frankfurt Motor Show. As you can expect, Porsche is still retaining the overall silhouette, which I feel is the right thing to do in this case. However certain things have changed, including the details up front and at the rear and I must admit, I really like what the company has done with it.
The interior has been updated and has hints of the Panamera, which also isn’t a bad thing. The 911 Carrera, which is the base model, uses a 350 hp 3.4 litre boxer engine with 380 Nm of torque which allows the coupe to hit 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and deliver a top speed of 288 km/h. The acceleration can be reduced to 4.2 seconds if the optional Sport Chrono Package is selected.
If that’s not enough for you, then the Carrera S should be your cup of tea with 400 hp and 440 Nm of torque from its 3.8 litre engine. Naught to 100 km/h takes 4.1 seconds and top speed is rated at 302 km/h. Using Launch Control will bring the sprint time down to 3.9 seconds. The 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission is offered with the 911.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
same boring porsche :/
Yes, same old boring shape. At least cars like BMW fully change their appearance and you feel as if you are buying a new car. Porsche, please learn from BMW how to design cars. Evolution has become boring.
you guys obviously watched top gear too much….that shape is iconic to porsche, even if one whiz by u at 180kmh you can still tell it is a porsche. and thats why porsche never really try to change their design for the past 40 years…if you got a winning recipe, you dont need to find for a new recipe isnt it?, you’ll just improve it here and there, prolly adding a pinch of ‘salt and pepper’ to make it better!
Porsche is LPPL.
Hmm very nice. An evolution of an already beautiful 911.
The back light looks like Aston Martin….
I like it when they don’t mess with a winning formula.
Waiting with anticipation for the 911 Turbo and the Turbo S to be revealed!
To be frank, I didn’t really know how to admire the looks of the 911 before this and I somehow thought they all looked like mutated frogs with shiny eyes.
But the 997 Turbo S changed my mind and I love this new 911!! YUMMY!! Let’s hope Porsche maintains the same price as the current 911!! XD
sampai bila diorang nak maintain design ni?
This 911 has got identity and soul strong enough that it doesn’t need to change it’s shape with every generation. Unlike a Corolla or an Accord that must change it’s design every generation to keep the public interested in them. They just don’t have that much soul..
BORING……………….. that all !!!
drive for another 20 or 30 years, it will still look good. forever stylish. the most iconic sports car ever made.
