2023 Porsche 911 Carrera

Lately, Porsche has been refreshing all its models, and now it will do the same with the popular 911 Carrera. According to spy photos, which show the 911 Carrera on the snowy roads of Sweden, we can guess what the new 911 Carrera might look like.

The distinctive body design is now adorned with a new front grille, which we saw earlier on the 911 Turbo test model. On the front bumper there are two large air intakes with vertical slats, while on the sides there are unusual lights, which we hope will be used only in the testing phase. At the rear, the camouflage hides a lot, but you can see the centrally placed exhaust system pipes.

When it comes to powertrain, Porsche will most likely use some of the engines from the existing range. Rumor has it that under the hood will be a 4.0-liter H6 engine with 394 hp (289 kW) and 309 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 182 mph (293 km / h). However, these are unofficial informations.

The new Porsche 911 Carrera should hit the market in 2023.

The 2022 Porsche 911 Sport Classic is coming soon

Porsche will soon present a new generation 911 Sport Classic that will be produced in a limited edition. Like the previous model which was made in 250 units and sold before the official presentation, the same is expected from the new 911 Sport Classic.

The Porsche 911 Sport Classic will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo direct-injected flat-six engine with 473 hp (352 kW) at 6500 rpm and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque at 2300 rpm. The same engine uses the Porsche 911 GTS. Reaches 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual or 8-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission. It is mounted on slightly larger wheels with five-spoke aluminum rims.

Spy photos show that the new 911 Sport Classic has a design similar to the 911 Turbo. At the front there is a new grill, while at the back there is a duck tail spoiler with a light bar. Although there is no information about the interior yet, it is expected that there will be no major changes. The brown leather-covered sports seats, which can also be seen on the daschboard, adorn the current generation 911 Sport Classic.

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS On Ice

Late last year, Porsche introduced the fastest and most powerful Cayman, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. After showing its potential at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, this model did the same at the recently held GP Ice Race in Austria.

It is made of lightweight materials, which reduces the weight by 28 lbs compared to the GT4 model on which it is based. It is equipped with improved adjustable suspension, and optimized adaptive aerodynamics.

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is powered by a 4.0-liter flat six engine with 493 hp (368 kW) and 331 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque. With a weight of 3,227-pound (1,464-kilogram) it reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed double – clutch automatic transmission (PDK).

The fact that GT4 RS uses synthetic fuels, which reduced CO2 emissions, attracted the most attention of visitors. Porsche Board Member for Research and Development Michael Steiner said: “Different regions of the world are adopting electric mobility at varying speeds, meaning vehicles with combustion engines will remain on the road for decades to come.” For that reason, Porsche started building a factory for the production of eFuels. The factory will be built in Chile and is expected to produce around 130,000 liters of eFuels by the end of this year, which Porsche will primarily use in motorsport racing.
