Although the latest Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S debuted more than two years ago they are still desired object for customization. This time the responsible for the tuning are the fellows at Vorsteiner – a Californian based tuning company with a rather German name. We see from the beautiful pictures they have sent us, that Porsche’s original blue color is complemented by new wheels in very special color. In this way the car not only looks more sporty, but it definitely receives a shade of individuality.
Precisely, the most recent photo shoot that the company has made highlights the new V-FF 101 Flow Forged Wheels. They are lightweight and were specifically developed for the Porsche 991 Carrera S.
The eye-catching color of the wheels is called Carbon Graphit, while their dimensions are 20×8.5 at the front and 20×11 at the rear. Vorsteiner has used Standard Profile on the front and Concave Profile for the rear in order to advantage of Porsche’s original tire sizes. This means that the 245/35/20 tires at the front and 295/30/20 Pirelli tires at the rear are are rub-free even after a moderate drop.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera is motivated by the 350-horsepower (261 kW) coming from the 3.4-liter boxer engine. On the other hand the Carrera S delivers 400 hp (298 kW) from 3.8-liter boxer engine. The acceleration time for the first from 0 to 100 km/h is estimated at 4.4 seconds, while the Carrera S covers this sprint in just 4.1 seconds.
The time for acceleration is further reduced to 3.9 seconds when 911 is equipped with the Sports Chrono Package Plus. Top-track-speeds for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S are 179 mph (288 km/h) and 188 mph (303 km/h), respectively.
The second generation 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS models are here! They come in coupe and convertible variants and with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. These two new cars are the link between the 911 Carrera S and race track tested 911 GT3. The dynamic performance of the models is strengthened via the 430 horsepower engine from the Carrera S Powerkit which incorporates the Sport Chrono package and Sport Exhaust. In addition, as a standard they come with PASM active damper system, which brings the vehicle 10 mm closer to the ground.
PDK stands for Porsche Doppelkupplung dual-clutch transmission, and it is what helps the 911 Carrera GTS accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds. The cabrio variant does this in 4.0 seconds. Top track speeds for the GTS models range from 187 to 190 miles per hour, depending on drivetrain and transmission.
Next, the standard equipment here includes Bi-Xenon™ headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and the Sport exhaust system. The latter delivers an unmistakable GTS sound. The interior is adorned by Alcantara. This high-quality material can be seen on leather-trimmed sport seats, precisely on their center panels.
All GTS models are based on the 911 Carrera 4 body with flared rear wheel arches and a wider track. From the outside, the new GTS is different from the other Carrera variants. It features standard are 20-inch center lock wheels, painted in an exclusive gloss black. In addition, other special trim elements are the tinted Bi-Xenon headlights accentuate. On the other hand, the black trim strips on the customized GTS air intake and black chrome-plated exhaust tailpipes distinguish the rear of the Carrera GTS models.
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS has a starting price of $114,200 USD, while the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet – of $126,100 USD. The models will be available in dealerships by the end of the year.
The famous tuning company Vortseiner has recently released some stunning Images of their latest project, called Vorsteiner Porsche 991 V-GT Edition Carrera. Porsche’s emblematic model – 911 Carrera has been equipped with special edition V-GT Front Spoiler, V-GT Side Skirts, V-GT Rear Diffuser and V-GT Deck Lid Spoiler.
Furthermore, the car is equipped with FF01 FlowForm wheels in Gloss Gun Metal color, and look stunning doing so. In this present case they are in dimensions 20×9 inches and 20×11 inches for the front and the rear respectively.
The V-GT Front Spoiler is designed with functionality at its core with its dual integrated brake duct cooling ducts and GT center splitter made of carbon fiber. Therefore it is lightweight and replaces the factory black plastic unit and attaches to the OE front bumper using the original factory clips and mounting holes.
Next, the V-GT Side Skirts harmoniously balance the lines of this Porsche. They include an optional integrated carbon fiber blade sill extension which additionally assists with downforce and complements the curves and lines of the rear fender panels. There are also two other options available: the CFHM with Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber honey comb matrix) and the DVWP Primer Finish w (dry vacuum woven plastic).
The third component integrated in this 911 Carrera is the V-GT Rear Diffuser, which has one of the most striking designs among the other elements of the aerodynamic package. This carbon fiber diffuser adapts the original attachment points of the factory black plastic unit but takes it to another level with it is striking integrated fin design that extends all the way underneath the underbody of the vehicle.
At last, the V-GT Deck Lid Spoiler at the rear is what rounds-off the new image of this Carrera. This element was also constructed of lightweight carbon fiber and fits onto the factory mechanical wing riser aiding further in downforce whether the wing element is open or closed. At last, Vorsteiner’s Autoclaved Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber structure gives the aforementioned parts superior stiffness, aerospace strength and durability.
This year Porsche is celebrating a 50 year anniversary of the emblematic 911 sports car model. The celebration will happen at event at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt on 12th of September, where a commemorative 50 Years Edition of the model will make its premiere. The special model will be limited to 1963 cars.
This number is not accidental. Back in 1963 the company presented the original model to the public as the type 901. The new special edition is inspired by the first coupe and therefore it combines a distinctive silhouette with a rear-mounted, flat-six engine and rear wheel drive.
However, it delivers more efficient performance, and includes active sports suspension and exclusive body styling which result in modern visual characteristics. To be more precise, the special anniversary 911 is based on the 911 Carrera S. Nonetheless, it has wider body – 44 mm broader across the rear wheel arches.
What is more, the exterior styling includes features such as Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), special tuning to complement the increased track width, sports exhaust system for greater driving enjoinment.
What propels this car is the 3.8-litre flat-six engine, which generates 400 hp (295 kW) and thanks to which the 911 50 Years Edition sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186 mph. The combined fuel consumption is 29.7 mpg, which equates to CO2 emissions of 224 g/km.
One-of-a-kind five-spoke cast alloy wheels give further contemporary interpretation of 911. The new 20-inch diameter wheels are finished in matt black paint with machine-polished centres. The anniversary edition is being offered in darker Graphite Grey, lighter Geyser Grey metallic and Black color.
Each of the 1963 cars has a unique ‘911 50’ badge finished in two-tone 3D-style on the rear lid. It also can be seen on the passenger side fascia strip together with the limited edition number of the individual vehicle.
Other special exterior elements included in the design of this Porsche are the high-gloss window frames and SportDesign exterior mirrors, Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and standard Bi-Xenon headlights.
Furthermore, the interior of the car includes styling touches similar to the original 911 such as green labelling on the instruments with white pointer needles and silver caps on the instrument pivot pins. In addition, the centre panels of the leather seats are reminiscent to the ‘Pepita’ tartan design from the 1960s.
According to customer’s choice, the leather interior can be ordered in Agate Grey or Black with decorative stitching. As a standard this special edition Porsche is equipped with sports seats with 14-way adjustment, while the 18-way Sport Seats Plus are optional.
2013 Porsche 911 50 Years Edition is already available and has a starting price of £92 257.
The iconic Porsche 911 is celebrating 50 years being at the heart of the automotive industry as one of the most desirable cars. The model has served as an inspiration to car enthusiasts around the world since its debut as the 901 at the IAA International Automotive Show in Frankfurt, back in September 1963.
Furthermore, the emblematic 911 is considered as the central point of reference for all other Porsche series. This basically means that every Porsche is the most sporting automobile in its category, and each one carries a piece of the 911 philosophy.
Now, since 1963 over 820 000 Porsche 911’s have been built since 1963. Through these fifty years, seven generations have been created from this model. An example from each one of them will be present at the 2013 Festival of Speed.
What is more, thanks to the support of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, and private collectors and enthusiasts, a number of significant editions of the 911 are set to be in action at the Goodwood. Further examples of significant Porsche competition cars including the 356, 908, 917 and 962 are also anticipated.
Another interesting fact, with which the brand is to celebrate the anniversary, is that the 1967 model 911 is going to be sent to Goodwood as part of a world tour. This particular model will it visit Pebble Beach, California, as well as China, France, and Australia.
In addition to all this, the Porsche Museum will be marking the “50 years of the Porsche 911” with a special exhibition from 4 June to 29 September. Morover, even Goodwood is honouring the versatile sports cars with a bespoke 911-inspired sculpture that promises to be a highly distinctive “art installation”.
The new Vorsteiner Porsche 991 Carrera V-GT is something that will take your mind away. Being a true Porsche it doesn’t need a performance boost … or this is in fact the opinion of the tuners from Vorsteiner.
After all, it has a 340hp 3.4 literflat six power plant that provides an electric enough feel. To go even further into details the 911 Carrera includes a rear-mounted 3.4-litre flat-six engine generating 350 hp (257 kW), and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h only 4.5 seconds.
However, they have done some incredible work on it so it is now enhanced in terms of driving dynamics. And this is where the specialists from Vorsteiner have stepped in.
They have given the Carrera a new V-GT tuning program which includes the following: V-GT Front Add-On Spoiler Replacement Carbon Fiber with Center GT Splitter, V-GT Side Rocker Panels Add-On Carbon Fiber with integrated sill blades, V-GT Rear Diffuser Element Replacement with Integrated Aero Fins & Underbody Panel, V-GT Deck Lid Gurney Add-On Spoiler Carbon Fiber.
In addition they have equipped the car with brand new VS-110 Forged Monoblock Wheels in Bright Liquid Silver color in sizes 21x9J and 21x11J, which in turn perfectly match the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres in sizes 255x30x21 and 305x25x21.
The new generation of Porsche 911 has been born. Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S are destined to offer dynamic advantages of the latest version of the active all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) system.
Still keeping the rear-wheel drive, which is emblematic for the 911, the all-wheel drive chassis of the Carrera 4 and 4S delivers increased traction, road-holding and dynamic performance over a wide variety of road surfaces and in all weather conditions.
What is more, something very specific for the new Porsche models is that the rear wheel arches are extended further outwards by 22 mm. This allows a housing of rear tyres that are ten millimetres wider. The signature red light band that connects the two taillights has also taken on a new visual identity.
The new trims are offered as both Coupe and Cabriolet models, where each model shares identical characteristics to the rear-wheel drive versions, including lightweight body design, suspension, engine choices and gearbox options. However, modifications were made which relate to the all-wheel drive.
Furthermore, the new aluminium-steel composite body construction saves 65 kg of the overall weight of the car. Therefore the new 911 Carrera 4 models also offer up to 16 per cent lower fuel consumption.
The 911s are equipped with seven-speed manual gearbox as standard. However, the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) twin-clutch automatic transmission is available as an option here.
To go even further into details the 911 Carrera 4 includes a rear-mounted 3.4-litre flat-six engine generating 350 hp (257 kW), and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h only 4.5 seconds. For the Cabriolet version this is possible for 4.7 seconds. The top speed here is 177 mph. The fuel consumption with PDK here reach 32.8 mpg (203 g/km CO2) for the Coupé and 32.5 mpg (205 g/km CO2) for the Cabriolet.
On the other hand the 911 Carrera 4 S is powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six engine which produces 400 hp (294 kW) and offers acceleration time (from 0 to 100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds. Again the Cabriolet is a little bit slower – it needs for that sprint 4.3 seconds. The top speed here is 186 mph. Fuel consumption with PDK is 31.0mpg (215 g/km CO2) for the Coupé and 30.7 mpg (217 g/km CO2) for the Cabriolet.
In addition, a new sliding glass sunroof is now available as an optional for all 911 Coupé models.
The new all-wheel drive with Porsche Traction Management system however isn’t the only innovation included here. As a standard equipment, all models feature full leather interior, 4.6-inch colour touch-screen Porsche Communication Management with satellite navigation, automatic climate control, Bi-Xenon headlights, a universal audio interface offering MP3 connectivity, Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (VTS).
The Carrera 4 Coupe is priced from £77 924, and the Carrera 4S Coupe priced from £87,959. The 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet is priced from £86,583.00, and the Carrera 4S Cabriolet from £96,619.
Porsche Cars North America have just released for sale the new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S models across all showrooms in the United States. The latest 911 is probably the best of all 911 models ever made. The 911 Carrera and Carrera S are excellent choices for customers who want to experience driving fun and excitement of a true benchmark.
The 2012 the 911 has been completely redesigned. It preserves the classical 911 lines, but yet is improved in power and fuel economy. Although it is instantly recognizable Porsche 911, it hides a major secret: the new 2012 models have 90 percent of components are either new or fundamentally revised. First of all, the new Carreras are longer, lower and wider. In addition, they are 100 lbs. (43 kg) lighter, which make them faster and more efficient than previous models. Hence the new 911 is the ultimate blend of modern design, innovative and intelligent engineering and performance. Furthermore, both of the models as expected offer no less than excellent performance, due to some enhancements made. The 2012 911 Carrera includes brand new 350-horsepower (261 kW), 3.4-liter boxer engine which provides five more horsepower (HP) than the outgoing 3.6-liter engine. On the other hand the new 2012 Porsche Carrera S features a 400 HP (298 kW), 3.8-liter boxer engine. This makes improvement of 15 horsepower compared to its predecessor. The 911 Carrera with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.4 seconds, while the Carrera S sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. The time for acceleration is further reduced to 3.9 seconds when 911 is equipped with the Sports Chrono Package Plus. Top-track-speeds for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S are 179 mph (288 km/h) and 188 mph (303 km/h), respectively.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera
The performance and efficiency are even further improved through systems such as the Automatic Start/Stop function, engine and transmission thermal management, electrical system recuperation, the world’s first seven-speed manual transmission and the ability to ‘sail’ or coast. At last but not least the new electro-mechanical power steering offers the ultimate Porsche precision and helps to increase the efficiency and reduce the fuel consumption. The new 911 Carrera Coupe has a base MSRP of $82 100, and the 911 Carrera S Coupe starts at $96 400.
The new 2012 Porsche 911 will be available in UK showrooms from this weekend (December 17). One lucky participant’s 911 will be turned from virtual dream into reality. You have just to specify your ideal new 911 using the on-line Porsche car configurator and enter your details before midnight on January 31 2012.
The winner will be invited to the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone to drive their perfect 911 on a half-day programme next summer.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera has superb standard equipment including leather interior, sports seats, automatic climate control, Bi-Xenon headlights, 4.6” colour touch-screen Porsche Communication Management with satellite navigation, a universal audio interface offering MP3 connectivity, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and a 3-year warranty.
That’s why the price is not less than £71 449 for a standard car with the least powerful engine.
The Carrera S adds 20” alloy wheels, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with rear LSD (limited slip differential). You can enjoy all these extra plus a mighty 3.8 liter flat six engine.
The engine range includes 3.4-litre flat-six with 350PS (257 kW), direct injection and optional PDK. It returns astonishing 34.4mpg on combined cycle. The mighty 3.8 liter flat-six for Carrera S boasts 400PS (294 KW). It also can be mated to the optional PDK and returns 32.4 mpg on combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 205 g/km.
The performance is brutal – 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h for Carrera and just 4.3 seconds for Carrera S. These times can be cut 0.2sec with the optional Sport Chrono Pack.
The new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and S models have received a full tuning package from TechArt. The modifications include exterior modification and individualization of the interior.

Great news for Porsche lovers: The new 911 Carrera Cabriolet with innovative folding roof makes a debut.
The latest convertible edition of 911 Carrera is on sale in March 2012. What’s new about this edition is that the new Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet offers sporting drivers the option to enjoy the renowned dynamic qualities and iconic design of the 911 Coupe combined with the added versatility and driving pleasure offered by its folding convertible roof.
The 911 Cabriolet has a high tech aluminium steel body with the Coupe, and the convertible extends this innovation to its all new, unique hood. This new Porsche offers an intelligent lightweight design, including the use of magnesium in the hood frame. It also ensures reduced weight for increased responsiveness, lower fuel consumption and greater comfort. The innovation here, and I am sure you’ll love it, is that the brand new Coupe model, is significantly lighter overall than it’s the former one.
And that is not all. The newbie 911 Cabriolet models have a longer wheelbase, wider front track and the new electro mechanical power. This of course is made to ensure the open-roofed models. The compact footprint on the other hand is accomplished by the shortening of the front and rear overhangs. Furthermore, there are additional standard or optional active control systems, for the overall improvement of the driving dynamics.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
And for those who still like the classic look of the Porsche, I have to assure you that the new 911 Cabriolet models offer the same charismatic line-up of rear-mounted, flat-six engines as the Coupé equivalents of the benchmark sportscar. What is impressive is that the 911 Carrera Cabriolet features a 3.4-litre engine generating 350 hp (257 kW). With it the driving of the rear wheels are taken through a 7-speed manual transmission. More to come: you cannot underestimate the fact The Carrera S Cabriolet offers a 3.8-litre engine developing 400 hp (294 kW). It is also coupled to a 7-speed manual transmission as standard. Therefore the open-top 911 models share the characteristic efficiency for which the 911 is very well known!
And if you want to experience even lower fuel consumption and shorter acceleration time, the choice is only the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet (which for that sake offers the 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch transmission as an option).
The starting sale-date for the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet models is March 3 2012. But this goes only for the lucky people in the United Kingdom. There the 911 Carrera Cabriolet is priced from £79 947, and the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet – from £89 740.
All customers will have the opportunity to explore the potential of their new car by participating in a complimentary course at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone. And to make it even better Porsche has given a thought about the security of the automobile: fitted to every 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), which is a sophisticated vehicle security package approved to Thatcham Category 5 standard.
Porsche is proud to present the new 911 Carrera, a completely new generation of the iconic coupe that has been acclaimed as one of the world’s benchmark sports cars since its launch in 1963.
Tradition meets modernity
True to the 911 tradition, the distinctive Porsche design language exudes power and elegance. The unmistakable silhouette still catches the eye while incorporating new, exciting contours and precisely designed details; a 100mm longer wheelbase for improved stability and greater interior space; front and rear overhangs are shorter, maintaining the compact footprint that has been a longstanding 911 attribute; the sporting stance is emphasised by the lower roof line and a wider front track increases on-road presence further still while raising the renowned chassis dynamics.
The rear-mounted, flat six cylinder engine is an equally symbolic component of the 911 identity; and behind the rear axle of the new car lies an uprated range of powerful, efficient and evocative ‘boxer’ engines. The 911 Carrera is powered by a new 3.4-litre engine developing 350 hp, and the Carrera S features a 400 hp version of the familiar 3.8-litre. These new engines offer performance improvements for both models. The 3.4-litre Carrera with PDK accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.6 sec, 0.1 sec quicker than the prior model. Pressing the Sport Plus button on the optional Sport Chrono Pack cuts that to 4.4 sec. The 3.8-litre Carrera S with PDK can accelerate from 0- 62 mph in 4.3 sec (Sport Plus 4.1 sec), 0.2sec quicker than its predecessor.
All-new lightweight body
Principle among the innovative steps forwards is the all-new, lightweight body, featuring intelligent aluminium-steel composite construction. It is responsible for a significant proportion of the vehicle weight reduction of up to 45 kg. The body structure also delivers significantly greater rigidity, and aerodynamic optimisation – including a wider, variably extending rear spoiler – has reduced the lift generated by the new 911 Carrera while retaining an impressive overall drag factor.
Innovative chassis technology
That the new 911 offers better acceleration in a straight line goes without saying, but it also offers top performance at an unprecedented level across the entire dynamic repertoire. In addition to the longer wheelbase, the greater agility, precision and driving stability are based, among other things, on the wider front track, a new rear axle and new electro-mechanical power steering.
Depending on the model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available as well that further enhance the driving dynamics. That is especially true for the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilisation system, available for the first time on the 911 Carrera S. The system reduces body roll when cornering, with the result that the tyres are always in the optimal position relative to the road surface and thus able to transmit higher lateral forces. Consequently, maximum cornering speeds are increased, and even faster lap times on racing circuits are possible.
Exterior design
The familiar athletic appearance of the 911 is given further dynamism with a 100mm longer wheelbase, reduced height, and up to 20-inch diameter alloy wheels. At the same time, the typically compact exterior dimensions have been retained. Seen from the front, the eye is drawn to the trademark wide-arched wings, emphasising the wider front track and making the new 911 Carrera models adopt a particularly sporting stance on the road. The redesigned exterior mirrors are now mounted on the upper edge of the door and not as before on the mirror triangle. Not only is this aerodynamically advantageous, it also emphasises the new design line and visual impression of width.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera
Interior design
To complement the modern exterior, the Porsche designers created an interior style which takes its cue from that of the Porsche Carrera GT. The driver is now even more closely integrated with the cockpit thanks to the centre console rising up to the front with the high-mounted shift lever – or PDK gear selector – located close to the steering wheel in typical motorsport fashion. Classic Porsche style elements are also to be found inside, just as they are on the outside. For example, the instrument cluster with five round instruments, with the central dial naturally the rev counter. On the right is a new, high resolution multi-function screen, just one of the comfort features added to meet evolving customer demands.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Interior
Porsche Intelligent Performance
Setting the standard in its class, as it has for generations, the new 911 Carrera and Carrera S raise the performance and efficiency standard to new levels. Fuel consumption and emissions of all versions are up to 16 per cent lower compared with its predecessors. Among other things, this is achieved by systems and functions such as auto start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, the world’s first seven-speed manual transmission and – in conjunction with the Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) – a ‘coasting’ function that decouples the engine for enhanced fuel efficiency when the throttle is closed.
The new electro-mechanical power steering system offers not only the typical precision and feedback expected of a Porsche, but also helps to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. For example, the 911 Carrera with the new 350 hp (257 kW) 3.4-litre direct injection engine and optional PDK returns 34.4mpg Combined based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) – 6mpg less than its predecessor. Also, at 194 g/km CO2, it is the first Porsche sports car to sit below 200 g/km CO2. In the case of the Carrera S, with its 400 hp 3.8-litre direct injection engine, economy when paired with the optional PDK is increased by 14 per cent, or 5 mpg, to 32.4mpg Combined despite 15 hp more power. That equates to CO2 emissions of 205 g/km.
Evidently, it has therefore been possible in the new 911 Carrera to extend yet further the span of apparently contradictory attributes such as performance and efficiency, sportiness and everyday usability that has always typified the Porsche 911. It could be said that the new 911 Carrera is thus more of a 911 than ever.
In the UK from December 2011
The new Porsche 911 Carrera celebrates its world premiere at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show and the new 911 models will be in UK Porsche Centres from December 17 2011.
The 911 Carrera is priced from ?71,449 and the 911 Carrera S is priced from ?81,242. Standard equipment on all models is leather interior, sports seats, automatic climate control, Bi-Xenon headlights, 7-inch colour touch-screen Porsche Communication Management with satellite navigation, a universal audio interface offering MP3 connectivity, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and a three year warranty.
The Carrera S adds 20-inch alloy wheels, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with rear limited slip differential, in addition to the power advantage of the larger 3.8-litre engine.
Fitted to every 911 is a Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), a sophisticated vehicle security package approved to Thatcham Category 5 standard, and customers will also be able to explore the potential of their new car by participating in a complimentary course at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone.
Although the latest Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S debuted more than two years ago they are still desired object for customization. This time the responsible for the tuning are the fellows at Vorsteiner – a Californian based tuning company with a rather German name. We see from the beautiful pictures they have sent us, that Porsche’s original blue color is complemented by new wheels in very special color. In this way the car not only looks more sporty, but it definitely receives a shade of individuality.
The second generation 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS models are here! They come in coupe and convertible variants and with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. These two new cars are the link between the 911 Carrera S and race track tested 911 GT3. The dynamic performance of the models is strengthened via the 430 horsepower engine from the Carrera S Powerkit which incorporates the Sport Chrono package and Sport Exhaust. In addition, as a standard they come with PASM active damper system, which brings the vehicle 10 mm closer to the ground.
