Always true to itself, to the point that become an undisputed legend. But also able to evolve to continue to be the benchmark for the super sports who can if necessary testify the hatchet to become tame and comfortable cars suitable for daily use.
 

 We are talking about the Porsche 911 Carrera, the best-selling sports car in the world since 1963 is reinvented with admirable constancy, without losing an ounce of its unique charm.

 The final confirmation came from the Frankfurt Motor Show, where the house of Zuffenhausen has unveiled the new 911 Carrera, the result not of a simple generational change, but a Copernican revolution with regard to propulsion. For the first time in its glorious history, this model is converted to turbo, twin turbo contrary to, in order to generalize a choice of technology previously reserved for more powerful versions like the Turbo and GT2.

 The farewell to the legendary six-cylinder naturally aspirated, causing a bit ‘is confusion between “porschisti” hard-core already sorely tried by the prospect that range will also have a 4-cylinder, is the only possible way to reconcile performance and pleasure the guide and the containment of fuel consumption and emissions. The latter are in fact decreased up to 12%, while power has increased by 20 hp to 270 hp in the case of the 420 Carrera and the Carrera, and the maximum torque of 60 Nm, resulting in an increase in top speed to 295 and 308 km per hour respectively.

 And the new S equipped with PDK dual-clutch gearbox – an alternative to the manual 7-speed – is also the first to break the wall of the Carrera 4/2 (stopping the clock at 3.9) in acceleration 0-100. All this with a displacement decreased from 3.4 to 3.0 liters.

 Beyond the engine revolution, the change of generation has brought a dowry to the family innovations such as the rotating ring integrated in the steering wheel that allows the choice of driving modes Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual that can be configured by the driver, the rear axle with steering function optional and the ability to lift 40 mm the nose by pressing a button to face without problems the attack of steep climbs.

 Both new Carrera are available from December the variant Cabriolet, with a list that in Italy is between 100,362 and 128,300 Euros.
