Porsche 911 Carrera
The Porsche 911 Carrera is an essential model from Germany's proud, independent sports-car maker which traces its lineage directly to the original Porsche 911, originally shown to the world in 1963. This Coupe is the successor to Porsche's first sports car, the ground-breaking and now highly coveted Porsche 356. The horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine of the Porsche 911 which was introduced when the model went into production in 1964 has been a constant part of every Porsche 911 model since then. The current Porsche 911 Carrera and its higher-performance variant, the 911 Carrera S, represent the sixth generation of the model range, known internally as 997, which was introduced in 2005.
Looks that count
The Porsche 911 Carrera has become synonymous with the look of a sports-car manufacturer over the course of its six generations, with the 997 model showcasing an evolutionary design that is still recognisable as a Porsche 911. The all-steel bodies of the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S Coupes were designed to reduce drag and increase cooling, with the Porsche 911 Carrera with manual gearbox having a drag coefficient of only 0.28 and the Carrera S, with its wider wheels and tires, having a coefficient of drag of 0.29 in manual form, 0.30 with Tiptronic S.
