THE NEW PORSCHE 911 — A DESIGN ICON AND HIGH-TECH SPORTS CAR
Unmistakably committed to the Porsche design DNA, with a much more muscular look and an interior featuring a 10.9-inch touchscreen monitor, the new Porsche 911 is timeless — and also modern. Intelligent control and chassis elements as well as innovative assistance systems combine the masterfully uncompromising dynamism that the classic rear-engine sportscar is famed for, with the demands of the digital world.
The exterior design of the new 911 is familiar and yet unmistakably new. The eighth-generation 911 is wider, more assertive, and more advanced. Wider wings arch over the large 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear.
The interior is distinctive, with the clear, straight lines and recessed instruments defining the dashboard. Now 10.9 inches in size, the center screen of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) can be operated quickly and without causing distraction. Below it, a docked-on control panel of five buttons with the look of a classic toggle switch creates the transition to the center console with touchpad. The seats have also been fundamentally modified.
