The new Porsche 911 (992)

Only a single line is required to describe the 911: the so-called flyline with a longer, flatter lid, steeply inclined windscreen and gently rearward sloping roof line. It characterised the original 911 for over 50 years and finds its highly contemporary counterpart in the current 911.

To appreciate the design of the 911, it's best to begin where its heart beats: the rear, where its horizontally opposed engine is to be found. Surrounded by a powerful rear end that has permanently shaped the proportions of the 911. The rear end is clearly and precisely designed. Straight lines, with an evident horizontal orientation. Focusing on the essentials.

Good design should be pioneering, as should the technology. The interior of the 911 is, therefore, blazing new trails – in that it reflects old strengths and expands new possibilities. The principle: analog precision meets digital integration – as always, strictly aimed at the driver. The horizontal orientation of the interior is striking. All the relevant operating controls are located, within grasp, to the left and right of the Multifunction sports steering Wheel. And therefore directly adjacent to the driver. A principle that distinguished the first three generations of the 911 – for a clear and light interior architecture and exceptional ease of use.

Directly in view: the instrument cluster with the analog tachometer as the central element. To the left and right of this are two high-resolution 7˝ displays that provide all the essential car information on virtual instruments. Right beside this: the high-resolution 10.9˝ touchscreen display of Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
