Ever since it appeared in the mid-60s, the Porsche 911 has entered the hearts of all of us, becoming an icon of the automotive industry. Over time, the car evolved with the development of new high technologies. For the new Porsche 911 Carrera, which will hit the market in 2023, we know what it will look like, the only question left is the drivetrain.
It has long been speculated that the new 911 Carrera will be powered by a 4.0-liter six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with 394 hp (289 kW) and 309 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. It is an engine from the current 718 GTS. However, in an interview with Car Expert, board member Frank-Steffen Walliser said that would not happen. Could this leave the possibility that the new Carrera will be powered by a smaller displacement engine without turbo power?
The current Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine with 385 hp (283 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque, the base version. Reaches 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 182 mph (293 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which enables incredibly swift gear changes without interrupting the flow of power. It is equipped with double wishbone suspension on the front, carbon ceramic brakes, and 19/20 inch wheels with 235 / 40ZR19 (front) and 295 / 35ZR20 (rear) Pirelli tires. The most powerful version has 480 hp (353 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque.
The new Porsche 911 Carrera features a distinctive look. On the front bumper there are two large air intakes with vertical slats, while on the sides there are unusual lights. At the rear, the camouflage hides a lot, but we can see the centrally placed exhaust system pipes.
