Porsche Carrera – Automobiles Review

Porsche 911 Carrera T

Porsche is adding to the 911 family with the lightweight sports car, the 911 Carrera T. The letter “T” stands for touring and describes models that offer a purist driving experience with exceptionally sporty equipment.

The standard 911 T features a seven-speed manual gearbox. An eight-speed PDK is also available. The rear seats are omitted. Featuring a PASM sports suspension with 10-mm-lowering and reduced insulation, the new 911 Carrera T is the epitome of purism and exhilarating driving pleasure. You can feel it on winding mountain and country roads – and you can hear it too. The sound of the six-cylinder boxer engine is now an even more striking presence in the interior.

Standard with PASM sports suspension and Sport Chrono package

The new 911 Carrera T slots in between the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S. The Carrera T takes its biturbo engine with 283 kW (385 PS; 911 Carrera T models: Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 10.9 – 10.3 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (WLTP) 247 – 233 g/km, Fuel consumption* combined (NEDC) 10.2 – 9.5 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (NEDC) 232 – 217 g/km) and 450 Newton metres of torque, and which accelerates the sports car from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and to a top speed of 291 km/h, from the entry-level 911. The standard equipment from the Carrera S with a manual transmission is augmented by Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear differential lock.

The 911 Carrera T also comes standard with the Sport Chrono package and the PASM sports suspension (-10 mm) – features that only the Carrera T offers in combination with the 385-PS engine. This is available as an option in the 911 Carrera S. On request, the Carrera T can also be ordered with the optional rear-axle steering, which is also normally reserved for models from the Carrera S and up.

T-specific equipment features include 20- and 21-inch Titanium Grey Carrera S wheels in front and back, respectively, with 245/35 (front) and 305/30 (rear) sized tyres. The 911 Carrera T also comes standard with the GT sports steering wheel, sports exhaust system and Sports Seats Plus (four-way, electric). Weighing just 1,470 kg, the 911 Carrera T with a manual transmission is the lightest series 911 with the entry-level engine, coming in 35 kg lighter than the 911 Carrera with a standard eight-speed PDK. In the 911 Carrera, the manual transmission is no longer available. Beyond the omitted back seats and reduced insulation, lightweight glass and a lightweight battery shave off even more weight.

Touring car concept successful across several model lines

The “T” in the model designation of the Porsche 911 Carrera T stands for touring and traces its history back to the homologation of the 911 T as a touring car in 1968. This first 911 T was offered until 1973, and in 2017 Porsche revived the purist 911 variant with the 911 Carrera T of the 991 model line. Since then, the concept of the stripped-down, yet exceptionally sporty setup has been successfully brought to other model lines with the 718 Cayman T, the 718 Boxster T and the Macan T.

Exclusive details inside and out

On the exterior, the Porsche 911 Carrera T stands out from the rest of the model line with Dark Grey accentuating details. Contrasting elements such as the top and bottom trim on the exterior mirrors, the new door logos and the rear logos, and the trim strips on the rear lid grille feature Agate Grey. The windscreen also features a grey top tint. The tailpipes of the sports exhaust system are in high-gloss black. It all gives the new 911 Carrera T an even more extroverted and dynamic look.

The car’s sportiness is underscored in the interior by the standard four-way Sports Seats Plus. Decorative trim in matte black and decorative inlays in high-gloss black round off the T interior. Customers seeking even more distinctiveness can choose the optional Carrera T interior package. In this case, they receive additional safety belts in the contrasting colours Slate Grey or Lizard Green.

The same goes for the decorative stitching, the 911 logo embossed in the headrests and the stripes down the seat centres. The floor mats also offer the logo and stitching in the contrasting colours of Lizard Green and Slate Grey as an option.

Small but exquisite selection of options and colours

The 911 Carrera T offers optional Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (18-way, electric) as well as the even sportier and exceptionally lightweight full bucket seats featuring Race Tex seat centres. The Carrera T interior package is offered with an optional extended leather interior. The armrests on the door panels and centre console are also in leather, along with the upper parts of the dashboard and door panel trim.

The new 911 Carrera T is available in the four solid colours Black, White, Guards Red and Racing Yellow as well as in the four metallic finishes Deep Black, Gentian Blue, Ice Grey and GT Silver. Available special colours are Chalk, Ruby Star Neo, Carmine Red, Shark Blue and Python Green. Buyers of the 911 Carrera T also have the option of using the Paint to Sample programme, which offers paintwork in over 110 available colour tones.

Vilner Bulgaria showcases its latest project. Check it out!

2020-Vilner-Porsche-911-Carrera-Cabriolet-910 Although being roughly 20 years old, the automobile has retained its potential for revisions and upgrade tweaks. And this is indeed what Atanas Vilner and his fellow team of engineers and designers have done to the lucky Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet.

The revised vehicle features an entirely new upholstery with fine brown leather and white and blue contrast stitching. What catches the eye is the upper part of the interior: there’s an X-shaped piece with leather inserts, just as with a baseball glove. The face of the apron is covered in blue, while the bottom part features wooden inserts. The steering wheel has also received some special attention: it is covered with leather and wooden pieces.

As Mr. Vilner states, contrast doesn’t mean only blending different types of colors. It also comprises a strategic placement of different types of surfaces, he continues. In fact, as it seems, the entire idea of the project is to create numerous layers of a design concept that are gradually unfolded and relished upon.

Atanas Vilner drives attention towards doors’ cover – the new design is both appealing and functional. There are large wooden applications and leather covers that contribute to more comfortable elbow placement. There are large wooden inserts at the central console, in the knee area of both the driver and passengers.

Additionally, all stock grey-covered plastic pieces in the interior are now painted in new and exclusive “Vilner Copper Rose” – a special paint, especially created by Vilner team and based on the R-M The Code BASF program, first used for the Datsun 280Z project. The interior also features newly painted controls of the electric seats. “Vilner Copper Rose” also covers the new sporty seatbelts, speaker grilles, the button of the selector of the gearbox and the details at its base.

There are fine details that add to the complete aesthetic figure to the project – there’s a set of Vilner badges, new floor mats with leather inserts and of course, a metal plate with the name of the project and the name of the owner etched at it.

Convertible roofs: How to ensure longevity

Porsche Carrera Convertible There are some trends that come and go in the automobile industry, but it would be fair to say that convertible roofs don’t fall into this category. They have survived the test of time and it appears as though they are here for the long-term.

However, if you haven’t owned a convertible in the past, this is a completely different beast when it comes to maintenance. The typical Sunday morning wash doesn’t suffice here; you need to take great care with the roof to ensure that it stays in optimum condition.

Bearing this in mind, let’s take at some of the key maintenance points to keep in mind if you do own a vehicle which has a convertible roof.

You don’t have to always keep the roof down

If you own one of the classic convertibles, like the Carrera, it can be almightily tempting to keep the roof open at all times. When you are cruising around the highways this should be expected, but when it is being stored in your garage it’s not quite as necessary.

There’s no doubt that these vehicles are built to the upmost standards, but it can be better for them if you at least store them with their roofs completely closed. When the roof is left open, the mechanics can start to strain and potentially deform over time. It can lead to a visit to a Porsche repair center eventually; which is obviously not the desired result for any car owner.

Beware of the snow-factor

Something else that you need to keep an eye on is the snow. Of course, this isn’t going to apply to everyone, but if you do reside in an area which receives a lot of snow this is something else that can wreak havoc with your convertible roof.

This isn’t necessarily due to the fact that snow happens to be very cold, either. It’s more related to the sheer weight of it; this is something that will weigh down heavily on your roof and can ultimately cause it to deform over time.

Take the appropriate maintenance steps

Let’s not forget that most of these roofs are constructed from vinyl, which is a textile. As such, you need to have a regular maintenance plan.

Generally, such a plan will involve washing it on a weekly basis. Performing the task by hand will work the best, but a car wash can suffice as well. If you can do this regularly, you can ensure that any debris that lands on the roof isn’t going to leave permanent damage.

Don’t let your car succumb to dust

Finally, we’ve spoken about all sorts of remnants that can find their way onto your roof, but let’s conclude by talking about dust. If you are storing your vehicle away for the season, it’s a good idea to not only keep the roof closed, but cover it as well. This can prevent dust from emerging on it, which can also impact its lifespan.

Even the mightiest of cars should bear good tires. Here’s why!

Are Your Tires too Old to Be Driving on?

Of all your car’s parts, its tires have the greatest effect on the way it handles and brakes. Unfortunately, failures of older tires have resulted in fatalities. Thus, it’s important to keep an eye on your tires! The investigation into the accident’s cause that killed actor Paul Walker in 2013 revealed that the Porsche Carrera GT he was riding in had nine-year-old tires. The California Highway Patrol indicated that the tires’ age may have compromised how they handled.

For years, drivers have relied on the tread depth to judge the condition of a tire. But the rubber compounds in a tire wear out with time, regardless of the tread’s condition. An old tire can be a safety hazard. For some people, old tires will never be a problem. If you drive somewhere around 12,000-15,000 miles each year, a tire’s tread may wear out in three to four years, before the rubber compound does. But if you only drive around 6,000 miles a year, aging tires may be an issue.

Rubber bands may illustrate the point. Everyone knows that rubber bands age poorly and will develop cracks within a couple of years. That’s essentially what happens to a tire. Cracks in their rubber start to develop over time. They may appear on the surface and inside the tire, too. This cracking can eventually cause the tread’s steel belts to separate from the rest of the tire. Hard use can accelerate the process.

How to determine a tire’s age

Tires made after the year 2000 have a four-digit DOT code. The first two numbers represent the week of the year in which the tire was made. The second two represent the year of make. A tire with a DOT code of 1207 was made in 2007’s 12^th week. Check tires once in a while for any sign of aging, such as tread distortion, or small or large hairline cracks in the sidewall. According to the Service manager at Hiley Mazda of Hurst, a local full-service car dealer in Hurst, TX, vibrations may also be an indicator of aging problems.

How long a tire lasts for

If living in a warm climate, you may want to pay special attention to your tires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that tires deteriorate quicker in warmer climates than cooler ones. Do you live near the coast? Keep that in mind when monitoring the condition of your tires. Are you using a spare tire? Well, avoid storing it in the trunk. It will get really hot in there.

However, the NHTSA doesn’t have any specific guidelines on tire aging and defers to the recommendations of tire manufacturers and car makers. Some carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan tell people to replace tires six years after their production date, regardless of their tread life. A few tire manufacturers, such as Continental and Michelin, say that a tire can last up to ten years when a driver has all the proper maintenance done as per their vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.

Gemballa Porsche 991 Carrera S GT Cabriolet Brings More Driving Excitement

Gemballa Porsche 991 Carrera S GT Cabriolet is the latest “air-cooled” 911 equipped with its familiar flat-six soundtrack. In addition, the featured Gemballa GT package compliments the excitement on the driving experience.

At the core of this tuning is of course Gemballa’s GT aerodynamic package. The transformation here begins with new, front bumper/spoiler section with three large cooling air intakes, and large lip spoilers. This results in more stabilizing downforce at speed.

The connection between the new front and the rear is emphasized through the organic lines of the front spoiler, which extend into the deep side skirts of the Porsche. The new rear bumper/valance includes a recessed panel. It has a strong top and bottom horizontal lines, which visually put emphasis to the width of the car.

Other exclusive features contributing to the new visual appearance of the car is the upright reflector lights, which are positioned at each end of the panel and give a functional meaning to its extremities. In fact the new composition gives the Porsche more three-dimensional stance.

A diffuser here sits between Gemballa’s stainless steel exhaust system made from stainless steel. The latter has a deep voice thanks to its valve-operated sound control feature and gives the car the soundtrack to match its looks.

All of the featured in the package aerodynamic components are made from top grade carbon-fibre. However, no additional upgrade was made on the motor. Still, even with the standard motor, the Cabriolet is faster from point to point thanks to the improved sports suspension and brakes.

The 30mm shorter springs are calibrated in order to operate with the factory PASM (Porsche electronic damping control system), while the brake system is highly resistant to fade and allows to set later braking points.

At last, this car runs on GForged-one alloy wheels with their choice of “diamond cut” or “gunmetal” finishes in the eye-catching 21-inch diameter size. Thanks to modern forged, lightweight construction, they weigh less than the factory 20-inch wheels, whci results in improved ride and handling.

Gemballa Porsche 991 Carrera S GT Cabriolet Details:

Displacement: 3,800 cc
Power: 400 hp at 7,400rpm
Maximum torque: 440 Nm at 5600rpm
V Max: 301 km/h (299 km/h with PDK)
