Brand new Porsche 911 is both timeless and modern in style

THE Porsche 911 is now entering its eighth generation, and the new 911 celebrated its world premiere on the eve of the recent Los Angeles Auto show.

Porsche Centre Gold Coast marketing coordinator Alice Honan said the 911 continues to set the standard when it comes to exclusive sportiness.

“Unmistakably committed to the Porsche design DNA, a much more muscular look, and an interior featuring a 10.9-inch touchscreen monitor, the new 911 is timeless – and modern,” she said.

“Intelligent control and chassis elements as well as innovative assistance systems combine the masterfully uncompromising dynamism that the classic rear-engine sportscar is famed for, with the demands of the digital world.”

Ms Honan said the next generation of flat-six turbocharged engines had been further developed and was more powerful than ever before, with 331 kW (450 hp) in the Carrera S models.

“The turbocharged flatsix engine of the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S now produces 331 kW, or 450 hp,” she said.

“This corresponds to an increase of 22 kW (30 hp) compared with the previous model.

“Both 911 models beat the four-second mark for acceleration from zero to 100 km per hour; the rear-wheeldrive Coupé needs 3.7 seconds and the 911 Carrera 4S with all-wheel drive takes just 3.6 seconds.”

“And the exterior design is completely new and emphasises a leap in performance for the new 911. For more information, visit Porsche Centre Gold Coast, at 1 Harvest Crt, Southport.
