2012 Porsche 911 / 991 Unveiled
The 2012 Porsche 911 – also known as the 991 Carrera model – has been officially unveiled by the Germany luxury car maker. Available soon at various dealers, including New York and Los Angeles Porsche stores, the 911 / 991 wheelbase has been stretched 3.9 inches longer than it’s predecessor.
Riding atop 20 inch wheels, Carrera comes with a body made of aluminum-steel “for reduced weight and greater rigidity.” Under that car’s rear hood, power comes from a 3.4 liter boxer engine, producing 345 bhp for the standard Carrera, and a 3.8 liter, 394 bhp producing powerplant for the Carrera S. Prices in the US for these models are $82,100 and $96,400 respectively.
According to official stats: Carrera S does 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds – 4.1 with the Sport Plus function in the optional Sport Chrono package. Other goodies available are the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), available for the first time on the Carrera S, providing optimized cornering with “intelligent distribution of lateral forces.”
