Most striking are the newly designed xenon headlamps and the rear spoiler with longitudinal rather than transverse slats. The innovations are mainly under the sheet - and define the dynamics again.
Therefore, the engineers driving 10,000 kilometers per test series with the highest load. We sit in the front seat, Porsche engineer August Achleitner are gas. We hear what will shake the 911 world like an earthquake of magnitude 9: From autumn 2015, all Porsche fired 911 of a new, shrunk to 3.0 liter displacement six-cylinder boxer unit to the range to 800 km between refueling stops to extend and push the average consumption of both configuration levels (Carrera, Carrera S) to less than 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. This means 1.2 l / 100 km less in relation to the current Carrera - and is attributable to the fleet consumption. Achleitner explained why the conversion of Carrera series means more driving dynamics on turbo engines in any case.
