[/caption]The surprising appearance at the new Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is time again the lack of surprises. Since the IAA in Frankfurt, we know that the new look with the type number 991 as we know the type predecessor 997th So just a facelift with a few touch-ups, so you can distinguish it from the Old? Suspected Development Director Wolfgang Hatz built during the presentation for the press in California's Santa Barbara in front at the outset: 'We can say with complete justification, that the 991 is a completely new development.

[/caption], Respect for tradition, called designer Michael Mauer as the reason for the restraint practiced for decades while filing on the icon of the house. He must always pack the new technology so that everything fits into the usual picture. In type 991, this means that larger wheels, only 56 mm in length grown body with a larger 100-millimeter wheelbase, a flatter roof line, new, flat headlights and large air inlets in front, broader shoulders and a rear design with long, narrow tail lights, which also emphasizes the width.
Interior remains much the same. The ignition lock is still sitting on the left of the steering column and the circular instruments are still well in sight, with the tachometer as the central element. What is new is the rising center console, which we first saw the Panamera, which turns in the Carrera but narrower. There, most controls are summarized. We drove a copy with a three-spoke steering wheel with shift paddles for the big Porsche double-clutch gearbox (PDK). You can also order a multifunction steering wheel. But the rest of us came in the 911 to puristic design, particularly in this environment of high-quality materials, excellent workmanship just right.
So much for appearances. But there must be more. This is also the standard by which all need to let the world sports car measure. The new Carrera S creates the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:40 minutes, 16 seconds faster than its predecessor. And without the Carrera S is the first 911, which remains in the carbon dioxide emissions under the mark of 200 grams per kilometer.
There is first the engine. The capacity of the six-cylinder boxer for the Carrera declined from 3.6 liters to 3.4 liters and makes 257 kW / 350 HP now has five more horsepower than its predecessor. The torque remained at 390 Newton meters (Nm) are equal, but the increased speed level. The new one-revving engine, the (r / min), its maximum power at 7,400 revolutions per minute and its maximum torque at 5600 U / min. The Carrera S has a similar view from: 400 hp versus 385 hp and 440 Nm instead of 420 Nm. With him, it remained the same level of 3.8 liters.

[/caption]The ability to, sailing with motors disengaged, a thermal management, the recovery of kinetic energy, the start-stop function, the fine tuning of engine and aerodynamics with deployable rear spoiler and the lightweight construction, which over its predecessor did 80 kg less weight, combine with the PDK, the Carrera for an average fuel consumption of the EU standard 8.2 liters and 194 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The predecessor took another 9.8 liters. When S with PDK there are 8.7 liters.
The manual transmission versions, need 9.0 liters and 9.5 liters, falling just good value for a car of this performance class. You get to help the world's first seven-speed gearbox, which lowers the seventh gear, the rpm level at distance drive.
We experienced the Carrera S on an airfield in its grip version with the new active suspension control system, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) that gives the car the shake almost completely weaned and thus allows more lateral dynamics, and while holding down the Sport Plus button, which also Launch Control is activated. What happens then, like the gentle Schwabe commented, exclaiming, Heilig Blechle!. It always makes one like a blow. Only cheers up the engine, while the Porsche brake holds. Allow the 911 free and jumps forward that the bangs head on the headrest. After 4.1 seconds 100-km/h-Marke is reached. To 200 km / h takes 13.5 seconds. Such orgies accompanied the engine thanks to sound generator is still impressive.
The immensely impressed, and is surpassed only by the Agiltität, with the Porsche into a turn and go the speed that he can achieve in the curve. And then suddenly calm and patience when you sport the 911 plus off and moved to speak in normal operation. Then it is not just for lamb, but also to the chassis is in that mode and more sporty. But he mutates into a luxury car with everyday use and long-distance qualities. The spreading of normal to want to increase the race-ready Stuttgart in the future. A tip: the rolling noise.
Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller said, not without pride that had 911 been always socially acceptable, although it offers exclusivity. The new speaker will benefit from this image. He can even be polished. Mueller and his management are convinced of it, of course. They brought it to a simple denominator: The new Porsche 911 Carrera is the best (citing Mueller), the most beautiful (citing Wall) and fastest (Quote Hatz) of all time. But superlatives have only a short decay time. In Zuffenhausen and Weissach is already working on next. (Ampnet / Sm)
