New Porsche 911 Carrera

http:gtchannel.com At 48, the Porsche 911 Carrera is younger than ever: the completely redesigned generation of the sports car icon is stepping into the limelight with its flat, stretched silhouette. The 100 millimetre (~ 3.9 inches) longer wheelbase and reduced height combined with the up to 20-inch wheels underpin the athletic appearance. Seen from the front, the eye is drawn to the 911's trademark wide-arched wings. They emphasise the wider front track, so that the new 911 Carrera models sit even more solidly on the road. The all-new, lightweight body is an intelligent aluminium-steel construction. It is responsible for a significant proportion of the weight reduction of up to 45 kilograms. Combined with significantly greater rigidity. Aerodynamic optimisation -- including a wider, variably extending rear spoiler -- enabled the new 911 Carrera's lift to be reduced yet further while retaining a very good Cd value.

@saqmuel European car + british roads = any conclusion ? ;)

looks pretty cool but I have this kinda cayman feeling when I look at it, 911 should influence the cayman, not the other way around

@DriftkingS2K for shee

@xxxxdarksidexxxx thx sir uare right !!!! i would have chosen a dull white ... looks pretty nice on porsches

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

as a graphic designer I would fire the idiot who choose a grey color to debt the car in commercial. gray is probably the dullest color OEM that is until some rich idiot buys ones and flat blacks it. Can't you have shown a forest green or ocean blue color? HD is worthless if you still watching black and white!

@rapzeh4 The new 991 CS should be great fun with PDK, it is lightning fast and the exhaust crackles (pretty sure it blips the throttle too) with the sports exaust, also it has "coasting" which further improves economy But I would probably choose Manual too.. 7 forwards gears with 7th being a motorway/economy gear and £3000 cheaper!!

@MagicAyrtonforever the PDK IS slightly faster at shifting, but I still prefer the manual.

I also agree that an automatic will be more comfortable in traffic.... but if I'm stuff in traffic in a 911, I would be angry as hell about the traffic, and not really care about the slight discomfort of changing gears....
