The
Porsche 991.
The internal
designation for the
seventh generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, which was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt
Motor Show on
15 September as the
replacement for the 997. The
991 is an entirely new platform,
only the third
since the original 911 launched in 1963
(the 996 of 1999 was the
second new platform).
Our
company can supply the certificate of conformity Porsche for your vehicle by
ordering on our website.
The
new 911 is 20 millimeters
longer than the 991
it replaces and yet
maintains the wheelbase of that previous
generation, as well as
the characteristic architecture with the
engine located behind the rear
axle. The only thing
that changes in this
sense, besides the greater proportion of aluminum in the structure, is that
the anchors of the engine are located 20 millimeters later than
before, which balances the weight distribution more.
The
COC Porsche is available for all Porsche 991 built for the European market.
What there is a considerable growth in
width, something that can
be seen at
first glance in the back,
which is now 44 millimeters wider than in 991 and
with some "grips" very marked. The front axle also gains 45
millimeters, but it is not so obvious to the naked eye because the front wings
are more restrained.
That
increase in width,
is not an aesthetic
whim. Now the Porsche
911 carries tires of different inches between the front and rear
axle, being in
front of 20 inches and behind
21, with what they say the
car treads better and above
all, it is more balanced
than before.
If
we go to the design of the front, we must
be very precise at a visual level to differentiate it from
its predecessor.
There are many
small changes very subtle but not
a revolution in the design. The round optics with four points of LED light have changed
minimally, and perhaps the most outstanding evolution is in the front
apron with greater surface in black, as
well as the double-plane bonnet with the
lowered central strip, especially
notable in the área that borders on the front windshield. That detail gives
aggressiveness and musculature
to the front
and takes inspiration from the 911
generation G.
We
are in times of
transition to digital
in all aspects, including cars, and that has made some,
in that moment
of change, have not
been fully successful with their
decisions.
I mean the total
absence of physical
buttons to handle
such basic and common
things as the air
conditioning controls or the configuration parameters of the car. Panamera and Cayenne
are two good examples, but there are
many others in
other brands.
Luckily
in the new
911 Porsche has not
gone to that
point so radical
in the digitization
and modernization, so we find
a cabin in
which the center
console is still
high and thin,
but in which we find
physical buttons whose commands, yes, they
are seen in
the new central
screen of rectangular shape and touch function
of 10.9 inches.
In
short, the 911
has the right
and necessary to look
and feel much more modern than the 991
it replaces, while maintaining the practicality
and ease of
use that have always
characterized it. Oh,
and of course, with the
quality of finishes
and materials that a car with a ase price of
138.105 euros deserves.
