Gradual pieces of information on the next generation 2012 Porsche 911 (aka 991) have been slowly surfacing over the past month.
But with some info coming out of the crew's tagging along with the Porsche 991 development team in South Africa, divulging several crucial details:
* Carrera S to have 400 HP
* Carrera to have 350 HP, share 3.4l engine w/ Boxster S
* 2 transmissions: 7-spd manual and 7-spd PDK
* Launch Control available on both transmissions
* 2.5 inches wider, 4 inches longer wheelbase
* longer wheel base to accommodate HYBRID drivetrain in 2016 mid-cycle refresh
* 12-15% improved fuel efficiency (euro cycle)
* electronic parking brake
* full-length sunroof
* 19-inch wheels standard on Carrera, 20-inch on Carrera S (20s optional on Carrera)
* Nürburgring lap time: 8:04 for 991, 7:50 for 991 S. "Best setup" in 7:37.
