We Ride In Higher-Tech New 911
Auto Express
|October 11, 2018
IN just a few weeks Porsche will pull the covers off its new 992-series 911 at the Los Angeles Motor Show, but weve been riding along as the development cars are signed off in San Francisco.
Every new 911 is significant, but this one takes the rear-engined icon into the future, with new technology, a revised drivetrain and driver aids, all while retaining the sports car’s signature driver appeal and usability.
The shape is obviously familiar – Porsche knows better than to mess with its lines too much – but more of that shapely body will be constructed from aluminium in a bid to maintain the same weight as the outgoing car.
This story is from the October 11, 2018 edition of Auto Express.
