New car introduction
The new Porsche 911 is based on the MMB platform, and the white body is made of more aluminum materials, 70% of which is made of aluminum alloy, which is 12 kilograms lighter than the previous generation 911 and has higher body strength.
In terms of appearance, the new Porsche 911 continues the design style of the Porsche 911 series as a whole, and the classic round headlights are retained. At the same time, the rectangular front air intake grille and round headlights create a visual difference, making the front look more tough.
The side of the car body retains the proportion of the 996 released since 1997. By using smoother lines, the whole car looks more slender. At the same time, thicker fenders make it look lower. In addition, the new car is also equipped with an embedded door handle that can be extended electrically, and the forward air opening has two adjustable openings, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance.

In terms of interior, the new car also retains the classic design elements of the 911, such as the center five-gauge and the timer above the center console.

For example, the traditional five-gauge only uses the mechanical pointer of the tachometer, and the remaining four dials are equipped with LCD screens, which display information such as speed, water temperature, oil temperature, and oil quantity. Equipped with a new style of three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and electronic gear, the overall shape is more technological.
In addition, the center console also greatly simplifies the physical buttons, and more functions are integrated into the 10.9-inch central multimedia screen. The screen has built-in Porsche Connect Plus, and enables rich in-car connectivity functions such as online navigation based on cluster data.
In terms of safety configuration, the new 911 is equipped with the first "Wet mode", which is a standard item of the new 911. It can pre-set the control system and issue warnings by detecting the amount of water on the road. Then the driver can press the corresponding button, or use the mode switching function on the steering wheel after the optional Sport Chrono component to quickly set the vehicle mode to enhance driving safety; the new 911 also comes standard with warning and brake auxiliary features, which can detect the possibility of collision between the vehicle and any moving object, and perform autonomous emergency braking when necessary; in addition, the new 911 can also be equipped with night vision assistance system with infrared thermal image, adaptive cruise, automatic distance keeping, automatic follow-up start and stop, emergency braking occupant protection and more emergency needs Auxiliary features.
