Porsche details new performance kit for 911 range

Porsche has announced the availability of a new performance kit for the 911 S range, bumping up the power for a number of 911 models (Carrera S, 4S and Targa 4S).

The power increase for these models comes in at 22 kW, which interestingly puts it in line with the newly launched GTS’s output of 331 kW. This is achieved through a set of larger turbochargers, dynamic engine bearings and a sports exhaust (the latter with two central tailpipes in a unique design). Modified brake cooling is also included.

The Sport Chrono package is standard, and includes a lap timer functionality. All new models will also be available with the Porsche Connect Plus infotainment system.

Some new exterior paint colours have also been added to the 911 and 718 ranges.

Local pricing for this performance kit has not yet been released, but pricing in Germany starts at €10 139 (about R140 000).

More voomah for the asking on 2017 Porsche 911 S

Porsche is launching the new model year in exactly the right way – with an offer of more power for its signature 911. Now that’s the kind of optional extra we like.

Porsche Exclusive is offering a factory-fitted upgrade kit for all 911 S models that boosts peak power 22kW to 331kW. The kit includes bigger turbos and the Sports Chrono package with dynamic engines mountings, a modified brake cooling system and a sports exhaust system with two distinctive central tailpipes.

And if you already have a 911 with the Sport Chrono package, you’ll be able to order the kit as a retrofit option from June 2017.

There are new paint and trim colours available for most models, with a special four-coat metallic yellow reserved for the 911. The distinctive roof bar on the Targa models is also available in satin black on request, and there’s a special Design Edition 911 Targa 4S in blue with dark blue interior trim.

You can now order a Cayenne in metallic purple or ‘white gold’, or a Panamera in dark metallic red or brown, with two-tone leather trim in black and beige – or the more luxurious club leather trim in contrasting shades of brown. The two-tone black and beige trim is also available for the Macan.

Porsche now even more Connected

In 14 countries that support LTE cellphones (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States) Porsche Connect now comes with a built-in LTE SIM card, and a flat-rate data package for navigation and infotainment.

Connect Plus now comes as standard equipment in the 911 and Panamera and is an option for all other models. And if you have a Porsche (other than a Panamera) with Connect Plus built between September 2015 and June 2016, there’s a free upgrade for your software, that takes about 90 minutes to install.

Porsche milestone: One-millionth 911 rolls off the production line

In Zuffenhausen today, the one-millionth model rolled off the production line – a Carrera S in the special colour “Irish Green”, with numerous exclusive features following the original 911 from 1963. The two-door car remains the most strategically important model in the product range and makes a huge contribution to maintaining Porsche’s position as one of the most profitable car manufacturers in the world.

Dr Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG, has been a part of the development of the 911 since day one: “54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road with my father. The feeling of being in a 911 is just as enjoyable now as it was then. That’s because the 911 has ensured that the core values of our brand are as visionary today as they were in the first Porsche 356/1 from 1948”.

The one-millionth 911 is still being held by Porsche AG

The Porsche 911 established a new category and remains at the pinnacle of the premium sports car segment. In 2016 alone, 32,365 vehicles were delivered worldwide. Nevertheless, it has maintained its exclusivity over the decades and has become a coveted collector’s item. The quality of the 911 is legendary. Over 70 per cent of all 911s ever built are still ready to drive today. In addition, it can consistently be found at the top of quality rankings such as the “Initial Quality Study” from the US market research institute J.D. Power.

Its mythology has been cultivated by countless motorsport successes. Designed for both the road and track, no other sports car embodies this recipe for success quite like the 911. Over half of Porsche’s 30,000 race wins can be credited to the iconic car. It thrills private motor sport enthusiasts around the world in numerous racing series.

All 911s are manufactured at the production site in Zuffenhausen

Uniquely, Porsche has never strayed from the founding concept of the original 911. “But we have continued to enhance the technology of the 911, refining and perfecting the sports car”, says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, “that's why it remains a state-of-the-art and technically innovative vehicle. We have also been able to expand the model line very successfully through derivates”.

One significant factor in this success is the production site at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen, where all 911s are manufactured. Today, all two-door cars – 911, 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman – and their various derivatives are handled on one assembly line thanks to a sophisticated production approach. The assembly workers are experts in up to 200 different tasks and, with their passion and knowledge, they ensure that each Porsche is delivered in the quality that is typical of the brand. Uwe Hück, Chair of the Group Works Council of Porsche, says: “I cannot imagine the success story of the 911 without our unique Porsche employees. Today, we have the one-millionth 911. The good thing about it is that our colleagues still make them with the same devotion as the first car. The construction of the Mission E at the Zuffenhausen site is ringing in a new era at Porsche. And it is clear that if we are to make it a success, we will need our highly qualified and motivated employees. They will make sure that the Mission E is an emotional experience just like our 911 has always been – and always will be”.

The one-millionth 911 is still being held by Porsche AG. Before it moves on to enrich the collection at the Porsche Museum, it will embark on a world tour and will take road trips in the Scottish Highlands and around the Nürburgring, and in the USA, China and beyond.
