991: new renderings and specs (AB Sportscars article)
Hi all, like already mentioned by Christian here:
http://www.rennteam.com/forum/page1.html?vs=15
rumors about the 997 successor (991) are spreading.
In the recent issue of Autobild Sportscars there is an article with some renderings (source unknown, guess they are just some phantasy of the journalists) and quite some infos about the tech details of the future 911 generation. Again, the source of this information is unclear (like always AB tries to create the impression that it's "official" information ).
Anyway, I thought it may be interesting stuff for some discussions
Facts & Figures:
- debut at IAA 2011
- shorter overhangs (especially at the front)
- much more accentuated C-pillar
- wider rear
- wheelbase + 10 cm
- center of gravity moves more to the middle of the car
- roomier cabin, especially in the rear
- new suspension + aluminium chassis
- better stability at high speed / improved aerodynamics
- rear spoiler á lá Panamera
- generally more quality materials in the interior
- less, but larger switches / central switch concept á lá BMW/AUDI
- new steering wheel/paddle design
- torque vectoring
- 7 speed manual gearbox
- electronic servo steering
- keyless go
- automatic start/stop engine system, brake energy generator
- electronic parking brake
- weight: minus 40 kg compared to 997
- 19" wheels (Carrera), 20" wheels (Carrera S)
- Carrera engine: 3.4 L / 350 hp / 350 nm
- Carrera S engine: 3.8 L / 400 hp / 440 nm
- Engine sound: less noisy under partial load, more “sonorous” under full load
- Fuel consumption: minus 10% compared to 997
