2012 Porsche 911

The 2012 Porsche 911 represents the next generation of this iconic sports car. Initially available as a Carrera Coupe or Carrera S Coupe, the new 911 is longer, lower, has a wider track and is lighter than its predecessor. Power on the standard coupe comes from a 3.4-liter 350-horsepower engine that not only provides a boost in power over the previous model, it also improves fuel economy. The Carrera S also gets more power – its 3.8-liter engine now produces 400 horsepower. A number of new features are introduced on the 2012 911, including the world’s first 7-speed manual transmission in a passenger car. Other features include start/stop technology, redesigned suspension and a complete new interior inspired by the Carrera GT supercar. The rest of the 911 lineup, including the Targa, Turbo and GTS, remain primarily unchanged for 2012. These trims will be updated to the updated platform over the next several months.
