Nice commercial, if that's what it is, but if I'm in a 911, I'm in it for the power and the speed. I just hope you can switch it off if you want to. If I want economy, I will drive a Ford Fusion. Hey folks, I love the 911.
isnt this saying that the pdk is VRY DANGEROUS?! i know many ppl will not agree with this but personally i hate driving auto cars because i think having no engine brake is dangerous..
The new 991 is looking very promising, manual and PDK transmitions are my kind of thing, so nice of Porsche to incoorperate both. Also loving the stop/start system as well, let's just hope it live up to it's former reputation!!!
This seams a bit wrong. If you let go of the gas on a manual car, the car engine-brakes and doesn't use any fuel what so ever. It also slows the car down considerably faster then if you would disengage the gearbox itself via the clutch.
@doomie61 Hey just my opinion, i have no idea if idling or leaving in gear uses more fuel, nor am i a mechanical expert in anyway. However when it comes to their cars im pretty sure Porsche knows what they are doing...
its so stupid to disengage clutch...

Sooooooo a gearbox with neutral.... Who would have thought of that?
Not hating though, this is an achievement for a dual-clutch box.

Also, a modern engine uses more fuel when coasting out of gear (to prevent the engine from stalling) than if you coast in gear. Odd.

Does this mean the car automatically kills the revs on the overrun? Thats a shame from a noise point of view.

isnt a "normal engine" using more fuel at idle,
compared to when you let go of the throttle above 1500rpms ?

@ClaritySWE so true! also you need fuel to idle and you don't if you leave it in gear with no gas
