I think they might have stolen this idea from me, right off of one of my posts here on Teamspeed! I can't seem to find it though. Hopefully the check is in the mail.

I hope they don't go 8-speed on the PDK just to 1 up it. 7 gears sounds like the perfect setup.

Also sounds like they're taking the 911 a little upmarket perhaps. If so, good!

 

Got this in the PCA newsletter:

2012 Porsche 911 details - Detroit Performance Car | Examiner.com

 

Cool!!!!

 

Thank god the guys that do the renderings for autobild and autocar don't work for porsche.

 

Push button handbrake? I hope not.

 

I wouldn't trust a thing in that article.

"The Carrera will be powered by a 350-hp 3.4-liter unit (up 5 hp from today's base 3.8-liter), while the S model benefits from a beefier 3.8-liter rated at 400 hp."

They said the base Carrera will get 5 more hp from the current 3.8 liter. The Carrera uses a 3.6 liter. And also, where are they getting it will have a 3.4 liter engine? If they can't get information right that's been in the open for five years, I don't think half of the things they're saying are true.

They also say the Cabriolet models will get a hardtop roof. And where's that coming from? Porsche even says themselves the reason they don't use hardtops is because they take up too much space and are too heavy. It might be true they they will get hardtops, but I have my doubts.

 

^ i think that i read somewhere, porsche filed for a patent with regards to a specific type of hard top ...
