Just as the champagne bottles emptied after celebrating the Porsche 911's 40th anniversary last fall, the Stuttgart engineers were hard at work writing the next chapter for the famed rear-engine sports car. Arriving this year as the 2005 model, this new-generation Porsche 911 makes its appearance in two variants: the Carrera and the Carrera S.
Unlike many other sports cars whose designers struggle to give them a sense of style, often radically changing the shapes, the Porsche 911 has been able to hold its simple yet elegant, streamlined silhouette for four decades. Yet amazingly, Porsche has kept the 911 looking contemporary and fresh.
At first glance, the new 911, designated as the 997, looks smaller than its predecessor, the 996. But, in fact, it has nearly 1-in.-wider front and rear tracks, and its overall width has grown almost 1.5 in. That the 997 looks slimmer can be attributed to the car's shorter length and taller stature combined with a narrower waistline. And thank goodness the circular headlamps are back. The oval headlights with the separate foglights underneath recall the 911's much-loved 993 design.
Inside, the instrument panel and the center console are also new. Much attention has been paid to details such as the leather stitching on the dash and the cutlines on the doors. What appeared to be Boxster-like in the 996 has been replaced with a much more upscale look and feel. The five-gauge instrument cluster is larger and housed in a binnacle that integrates more smoothly into the dash. Polished aluminum trim pieces sprinkled throughout the interior give the car a high-tech look. Optional for the new 911 is the Sport Chrono Package that includes a clock-style stopwatch mounted on top of the dashboard.
The new Porsche Carrera comes with the 325-bhp 3.6-liter flat-6 engine, and the Carrera S is equipped with the 355-bhp 3.8-liter powerplant. Using the same basic aluminum block as in the standard Carrera, the Carrera S's uprated displacement reflects a 3-mm increase in bore size. In addition, the intake manifold, the intake camshaft lift profiles and the injector angles are also modified to provide more torque and robust power for the S. Thanks in part to a composite intake manifold, the 3.8-liter weighs no more than the 3.6-liter engine.
Check out our collection of Porsche 911 sounds.
Driving on winding roads in northern Germany, I noted that every aspect of the new Carrera and the Carrera S feels a step more refined than the already well-mannered last-generation 911. The ride is supple, and the handling inspires confidence the more you drive. The power delivery from both the 3.6- and 3.8-liter is forceful and wonderfully smooth, with the larger-displacement engine giving more high-end punch. A welcome change is the increase in the engine growl on full throttle. The 997 sports a new 6-speed transmission that offers shorter throws and smoother shifts, allowing quick gear changes into and out of corners.
Equipped with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the 911's shock absorbers can be electronically adjusted to suit various driving and road conditions. Optional on the Carrera and standard on the Carrera S, PASM also lowers the car's ground clearance from 4.17 in. to 3.78 in.
Classic contours refreshed: The 997 echoes earlier 911 themes without being retro. Note the Carrera S's steering wheel, which has a circular airbag.
Coupled to a very capable front MacPherson-strut and rear multilink suspension setup, this system helps the 911 to soak up road imperfections with ease in the Normal mode, and sharpens handling in the Sport mode. However, at speeds in excess of 140 mph on the Autobahn, the Sport setting is almost too stiff. The car feels a bit jittery when you skim across uneven pavement.
The new 911 Carrera and Carrera S will arrive at showrooms in the U.S. as you read this, with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price pegged at $69,300 for the standard car and $79,100 for the S model. Building on its heritage, the 911 has evolved and reached a level of refinement difficult to match. The new 997 has raised the bar again in the sports-car world, but is it perfection yet? You decide.

Porsche shows off Cayman GT4 Clubsport in new video
Sat, Nov 28 2015Amateur racers rejoiced last week when Porsche unveiled a track-ready version of the Cayman GT4 at the 2015 LA Auto Show. Now, the company is doing a bit of publicity for the new track car, featuring the race-ready Clubsport video in a stylish, 53-second video clip. There's not a lot to it, to be honest. We see the GT4 Clubsport, we hear it briefly, but that's about it. So if you were hoping that we'd finally get a look at the stripped down cabin, we're sorry to disappoint you. Still, it's good to see Porsche's newest track car in motion for the first time. For those that need a refresher, the GT4 Clubsport retains the standard car's 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but pairs it with the company's super-fast dual-clutch transmission. Combined with basic safety equipment – racing buckets, six-point harnesses, a full roll cage, and a fire suppression system – and suspension components from the company's other entry level racer, the 911 GT3 Cup, and you get a race-ready, mid-engined coupe for the reasonable sum of $165,000.

Xcar considers the Porsche 911 GT3's PDK
Fri, May 29 2015Porsche ruffled some feathers when it unveiled the latest 911 GT3 a couple of years ago with a dual-clutch transmission instead of an old-school manual. The rationale was (and remains) that the PDK makes the enthusiast's Elfen faster than it would be with a stick. The purists scoffed, but Zuffenhausen held firm – and even did the same with the even more hardcore GT3 RS. In its latest video, the boys at Xcar set out to find out if the GT3 with its fancy automated gearbox is as good as the previous model (or as good as the current model could be) with a manual – and took in some of the track toy's other trickery while they were at it. Check out the video above to find out what conclusion they reached.
