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 911 hybrid could get green light after all
Wed, May 13 2015The prospect of producing a hybrid version of the Porsche 911 has been on and off the table more times than we'd care to count. But before the year is up, the German automaker will make up its mind whether or not it will put the idea in motion. Porsche currently offers more plug-in hybrids than any other automaker. And according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller in speaking with Automotive News, the opportunity exists to expand the powertrain technology to every model in the company's lineup, including the 911. The sports car would likely be the next in line for hybridization, said Muller, giving Porsche a direct competitor to the BMW i8. It wouldn't be the first time Zuffenhausen would slot a hybrid powertrain into the iconic rear-engined coupe, having previously raced the 911 GT3 R Hybrid (pictured above), but it would be the first road-going version available to customers. "That is a technique which we at Porsche are very familiar with," Muller told AN, "so we can suppose that we could have plug-ins all over the model range, not only to save fuel but also to boost the performance of these cars." Currently the E-Hybrid versions of the Cayenne and Panamera which Porsche offers account for roughly 15 and 11 percent of their respective model lines' sales in the US, while the 918 Spyder, of course, is offered only as a hybrid. If the 911 hybrid gets the green light, that would leave only the Macan, Boxster and Cayman without the option of electric assist. Related Video:
Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1
Sat, Nov 21 2015The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.
2017 Porsche Macan GTS First Drive
Mon, Jun 13 2016Zebulon Pike, the military commander and explorer for whom America's best-known mountain is named, never reached "his" peak, even though he tried. Over 200 years later, with a grin so giddy that I blame it on the thin air at 14,114 feet, I crested the summit of Pikes Peak a tick over 14 minutes after leaving the starting line. I was behind the wheel of the most fun-to-drive crossover anyone has ever built: the Porsche Macan GTS. I can't take credit for what must be one of the fastest unmodified sprints to the top. That goes to Pikes Peak legend Jeff Zwart, who led a pack of journalists in Porsche's latest Macan up the hugely demanding paved road. Zwart wasn't piloting a Macan GTS; instead, he was behind the wheel of the 911 GT2 he drove back in 2002 when much of the route was gravel. Today's pavement provides more grip but also less room for error, Zwart told us. Unforgiving, he called the mountain. That's just what you want to hear at 6:30 a.m. when Zwart, two cars in front of you, takes off at a racing start. Pressed later, Zwart admitted he drove at a fraction of his racing pace while juggling two radios (one to communicate with us and one for park rangers to alert him to wildlife on the road) and shifting a manual transmission. Strapped into a Macan GTS, however, I found the trip plenty stressful – but that's because of the blind corners, the narrow road, the frost-heaved pavement, the blinding sun, and, of course, those unforgiving drop-offs. The polished GTS, which slots in between the mainstream Macan S and the bonkers Macan Turbo, proved unflappable. Of the Macan flavors, which will soon include a four-cylinder base model, the GTS is best suited to carving through the Rockies. Its 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 comes from the Macan S, but Porsche dials its boost from 14 to 17.4 psi, bringing output to 360 horsepower at 6,000 rpm (up 20) and 369 pound-feet of torque from 1,650 to 4,000 rpm (up 30). The only gearbox available is the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus modes. In addition to the power increase, the GTS gets a standard air suspension that sits 10 millimeters lower than the optional version for the S and the Turbo. Front brakes cribbed from the Turbo and a switchable sport exhaust with a single flapper valve round out the performance changes.
