Vehicle Description
This is a classic 911 that has matured, combining modern comfort
and convenience features with state of the art all wheel drive
technology and safety systems. But when you drop the top, stir that
6-speed manual transmission around, and listen to that race bred
motor with the wind in your hair, you will forget about the
technology and just enjoy the ride.
You have never seen a car quite like this one because this is a one
of a kind. The color, a beautiful Turquoise, is a special order,
code L999, "paint to sample" from the factory. The shape is,
however, very familiar and unmistakably that of a 911. Each new
version of the car is a logical evolution of the original iconic
design. The headlights are high on the fenders, as they have always
been, but new and improved for even greater visibility. The
aerodynamic shape of the car has been refined and proven on the
race track. The distinctive wraparound rear end is still there from
the early days, but it has to cover much larger BBS Sport Design
wheels, so it gives the whole car a more aggressive stance.
Obviously, what sets this car apart from other 911s is the drop
top. At the touch of a button, the folding top will lower and tuck
under its cover in about 15 seconds, easily accomplished at most
stop lights.
Open the door, have a seat, and you will find all the comforts and
conveniences of a modern sports luxury car. A premium sound system,
leather heated seats, power everything, burled wood trim, and a
navigation system to help you get where you are going. If that's
the goal. Because, "Not all who wander are lost". Sometimes they
are just enjoying the drive. There are two unusual features in the
interior that stay true to the cars racing heritage. First, the
ignition key was placed to the left side of the steering wheel so
that it could be turned as the driver was jumping into the car
during a "Lemans" racing start. Second, the tachometer is in the
center of the dash because it's definitely the most important gauge
during a race. A surprise feature, especially in a convertible
sports car, is a back seat. Granted, it is more for groceries,
coolers, and dogs than people, but it does have seat belts!
Beneath and behind those back seats is the business end of the car.
A legendary flat 6-cylinder engine provides a low center of gravity
for better handling, and makes 300 horse-power to keep the car
running with some fast company. The shift knob of the manual 6
-speed transaxle falls easily to hand, and can be way more fun to
drive than the tiptronic transmissions. Being a Carrera 4 means
that the front wheels are driven too. They work in conjunction with
the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems to make the car
safer and more stable in virtually all road conditions, including
the snow. The rubber meets the road through 265/35ZR18 tires in the
rear, and 225/40/ZR18s in the front. Porsche has ensured that the
technology in the car works seamlessly so that it becomes
invisible, and just makes the driver look better.
All the driver knows, is that they can really feel the road through
the steering wheel in this car, and that it's a blast to drive.
