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 planning new 911 Speedster as 550 tribute

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Some look at the emergence of a new Porsche 911 and see a car. But to Porsche engineers, it might as well be a reset button. Because every time a new 911 comes out, it sets off a tidal wave of new variants to follow, including convertibles, turbos, targas, GT3s... the works.
The next down the pipeline, though, could be one of the most desirable. That, according to German publication Auto Bild, will be a new 911 Speedster. When it arrives early in 2015, the special roadster will reportedly be limited to just 550 examples in tribute to the original 550 Spyder.
It'll reportedly have hidden door handles, a chopped-down windshield and a fabric top to be used only in case of emergency, manually disappearing below a carbon-fiber cowling. All of which makes it sounds as much like a bigger version of the Boxster Spyder as a successor to the last 911 Speedster (pictured above), and that's no bad thing at all.

Sunday Drive: A new Rambo Lambo takes center stage

Sun, Dec 10 2017

Surprise! Autoblog readers love fast cars. Doesn't matter what shape; doesn't matter what size. As long as it's got big power, wicked acceleration, and ludicrous speed, you're interested. Take, for instance, the brand-new Lamborghini Urus. It's got a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. It hits 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, and has a top speed of 189.5 mph. Ludicrous speed? Check. And although you'd be hard pressed to draw a line straight back from the upcoming Urus to the old, off-road-ready LM002, at least you can say that Lamborghini does have a history of producing overpowered SUVs. A 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 444 horsepower and borrowed from the Countach certainly qualifies as big power, especially considering this was in the 1980s and '90s. A prime example just sold for nearly half a million bucks. Moving along to more traditional sportscars, we got a sneak peek at the next Porsche 911's interior, thanks to some intrepid spy photographers. And we spy with our little eyes some major changes to the quintessential German sportscar. Finally, we round out this Sunday Drive with two First Drive reports. Both are German, but past that, they couldn't be more different. Either way, ludicrous speed is all but guaranteed by either one.

Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare – but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.
