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.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

Porsche tops JD Power APEAL study for 12th time

Wed, Jul 27 2016

JD Power's 2016 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study hasn't changed much this time around with Porsche coming in at No.1 for the 12th consecutive year, while BMW was close behind in second. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz tied for third with Land Rover, Lexus, and Lincoln tied for No.5. The APEAL Study, according to JD Power, measures owners' level of excitement and emotional attachment across 77 parameters. Brands and cars are rated on a 1,000-point scale. The study found that new cars with modern safety features including low speed collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring have higher APEAL scores than vehicles without the features. The overall industry score increased from 798 to 801, which JD Power claims was helped by the launch of a variety of new vehicles. This year, 22 out of 30 new or redesigned cars received a higher score than the vehicle's respective segment average. Porsche is once again at the top of the list as the automaker's score increased by three points to 877. BMW outscored Jaguar to take second place with a score of 859, while the British automaker dropped three points from last year with 852 points. Volkswagen overtook Mini to become the top-ranked non-premium brand with 809 points, while the latter automaker trailed behind by one point. At the end of the scale, Smart came in at the very bottom for the second year in a row with a score of 745 points, which represents an increase of 62 points over last year. Fiat's score increased by six points to 755, but still confined the automaker to second-to-worst place for a consecutive year. Mitsubishi's score increased to 770, up from 755, to become the fourth-worst brand, while Jeep fell to third-worst with a decrease in seven points to 756. General Motors received six segment-level awards, followed by Hyundai with five, and BMW and VW earning four apiece. Surprise segment victories include the Chevrolet Camaro, which outscored the Dodge Challenger, and the Lexus RC which ranked above the BMW 4 and 3 Series. For more information on how the automakers ranked, check out the official release on the 2016 APEAL Study below or visit JD Power's website to analyze the graphs.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
