The next Porsche 911 will be called the 991 and is supposed to come on sale in 2012. With a history of 48 years, the 911 has evolved into a true class-leading sports car.
Major changes are the extended wheelbase, a more extensive use of aluminum to save weight and substituting the previous hydraulic steering with an electro-mechanical steering. To be honest, the latter difference really worries the true 911 fans because the hydraulic power steering was so good that replacing it with an electro-mechanical system might ruin the steering feel. Happily, the engineers from Porsche confirmed that they in fact improved the feel of the steering.
The external size of the new 911 is slightly bigger than the 997 second generation but the weight is actually lighter than the outgoing model by some kilos despite having larger rims and brakes. Other structural difference is the improved crash structures, brand new suspension components, slightly lower ride height and widened front wheel track. Interior layout will borrow heavily from the current Panamera and Cayenne which means there’s nothing short of luxury and sporty feeling about it.
