The Making of the New Porsche 911 (E01) - Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics



The aerodynamic characteristics of a sports car are of enormous importance for its driving behaviour, its fuel efficiency and its engine power and engine cooling. Take a look behind the scenes and see how the aerodynamics of the new 992 has been tested at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach

The Making of the New Porsche 911 (E02) - Audio Development



With a six-cylinder engine and a cutting edge hi-fi system, the new 911 sounds just as impressive outside as it does inside. Take a look behind the scenes and see how the audio has been perfectly tuned to the specific interior acoustics of the new 911 at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach.

The Making of the New Porsche 911 (E03) - Design



The new 911 has a clear and precise design that can be seen in every detail. Take a look behind the scenes at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach and see how we created these details to bring this timeless machine to life.

The Making of the New Porsche 911 (E04) - Virtual Driver Seat



From VR to reality. The virtual driver's seat at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach helped designers to experiment and test the interior of the new Porsche 911, creating the most perfect user and driving experience possible.

The Making of the New Porsche 911 (E05) - Wet Circuit Handling



The conditions might get bad, but your handling won't. The wet circuit at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach allows our experts to put the new 911 to the test in some of the harshest conditions it could face.

new 911 [992] 3.0 385hp Carrera Coupé & Cabriolet

Porsche introduces new 911 [992] Carrera Coupé and 911 Carrera Cabriolet models, New entry-level 992 gets turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six with 385hp from a £82,793 starting price

Porsche still only offers an eight-speed PDK with the 992, and for now drive is sent exclusively rearward in the Carrera, which tops out at 182mph. The model's main differences occur in the flat-six's internals, where it receives smaller turbines and compressors - otherwise the non-S car gets much the same technical makeup as its slightly more potent sibling.





The 992 Carrera includes the same chassis and traction control systems, with a new wet mode that helps the rear wheels apply power more effectively on slippery surfaces - reducing the chances of any unwarranted reversing into hedgerows - alongside the new digital cabin technology.

The Carrera receives smaller wheels all round, so that's 19s at the front and 20s at the rear, giving it slightly larger tyre side walls - but the rear contact patches are still 295mm. Braking is handled by a set of smaller discs (of 330mm) than the S, with the same four-piston monobloc calipers finished in black.

This expansion to the line-up of the iconic sports car includes both a Coupé and Cabriolet body style. The 911 Carrera is powered by a 385 PS version of the charismatic 3.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine with twin turbocharging. This power output is 15 PS higher than its predecessor.






The Carrera models may be the traditional starting point in the 911 model range, yet they share their premium-quality standard features virtually unchanged from the 450 PS Carrera S that was launched last November. Key highlights include the advanced interior with 10.9-inch touchscreen display, comprehensive connectivity and also assistance systems like the global innovation of Porsche Wet Mode that helps modulate the car's behaviour on wet roads. The 911 Carrera is distinguished externally from the Carrera S models by its smaller diameter wheels and brakes and individual tailpipe covers on the exhaust system.

As is typical of all 911 models, the engine, chassis and braking system of the Carrera are designed to set the standard for exclusive sporting performance. The 3.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Carrera generates its power largely through the smaller turbines and compressors that feature in the new turbochargers. The power is fed to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK).





This enables the 911 Carrera Coupé to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 182 mph. The optional Sport Chrono Package shaves a further 0.2 seconds off the benchmark sprint. The combined fuel consumption range (WLTP) of the Coupé is 26.6 - 28.5 mpg, while the Cabriolet records 26.2 - 28.0 mpg. NEDC equivalent CO2 emissions Combined are 206 - 210 g/km.

The dynamic chassis set-up includes 235/40 ZR tyres on 19-inch diameter alloy wheels on the front axle. However, the mixed tyre diameter configuration front:rear sees 20-inch wheels with 295/35 ZR tyres at the rear. Stopping power is provided on both axles by 330-millimetre diameter brake discs with black, four-piston monobloc fixed callipers.

The 911 Carrera Coupé starts from £82,793.00 RRP, and the 911 Carrera Cabriolet at £92,438.00 RRP. The new models can be ordered from today at Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland. The all-wheel drive version will be available soon.

That looks stunning in red with gold wheels.
