THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD LOCALLY

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.

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Vintage-ish Porsche 911 buying guide

Tue, Jul 21 2015

Harry Metcalfe is always great at showing viewers the intricate details of the vehicles in his collection as part of the Harry's Garage series. This time he's helping out future buyers by explaining what to look for when purchasing a classic and slightly more modern Porsche 911. His examples for this lesson are two absolute beauties that are about to cross the block from Silverstone Auctions in the UK: a 1972 2.4 S and a 1991 964-chassis RS Clubsport. The '72 in creamy white here epitomizes the look of early 911s. The coupe is handsome, purposeful, and fairly compact by modern standards. According to Metcalfe, when looking at one, don't worry about a wobbly gearshift. Apparently, they're all like that, even ones as well cared for as this example. As with any used car purchase, he recommends trying to get as many service records as you can. It's just good to know as much about the vehicle's life as possible before throwing down any cash. Where the '72 911 shows the more gentlemanly side of the brand, the '91 RS Clubsport is Porsche proving the company's performance credentials. Metcalfe slightly dings the switch to an aftermarket air filter here, but overall it's hard to find a major fault. These cars were essentially road-going racers in this trim. The engineers in Zuffenhausen chopped out as much weight as possible and then fitted Recaro racing buckets and a roll cage. This thing was meant clock as many laps around the 'Ring as the driver could stand.
