New 2009 Porsche 911

Breathtaking, powerful, dramatic, and sensual are just a few adjectives to describe the multi-faceted 2009 Porsche 911. The quintessential sports coupe offers multiple variations of the classic shape, from coupes to convertibles to the Turbo Cabriolet.

The 911 has 15 different models in its stable.  The 911 has several different trims such as the Carrera, S, Cabriolet, S Cabriolet, 4, 4S and 4 Cabriolet.  All seven models have either a 3.6-liter, 345-horsepower V-6 or a 3.8-liter, 385-horsepower V-6.  The 911 Targa 4 and 4S have the same engine options as the Carrera and feature a removable glass roof.  The 911 Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet use a 3.6-liter, 480-horsepower turbocharged engine available with all-wheel drive.  The 911 GT3 and GT3 RS utilize a 3.6-liter, 415-horsepower beast; while the GT2 is the most powerful Porsche with a 3.6-liter, 530-horsepower engine and can go zero to 60 in a lightning-quick 3.6 seconds. All models feature a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed Tiptronic transmission that actually supply quicker acceleration times than the manual.  An available Sport Chrono Package Plus as performance modes for heightened accelerator sensitivity and swifter PDK shifting.

Inside, 911 models feature standard automatic full climate control, an available BOSE® Surround Sound System and 6-disc CD auto-changer for amazing sound quality, and the standard Porsche Communication Management system, which integrates the stereo system, trip computer, and available GPS navigation system. Dual power front seats with leather upholstery add luxury and comfort, while optional Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors to gauge the distance of obstacles behind the car.

Safety features across the board include dual front airbags, a new Porsche Side Impact Protection system with two side airbags in each front seat, and side curtain airbags. The brakes are among the best in the business, with a standard Anti-lock braking system, 4-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and amazing optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, which imbue the 911 with unsurpassed braking power and control on the roadway or the racetrack. An available Bi-Xenon lighting system with headlight leveling and washer system creates greater illumination than the standard halogen bulbs while using less power. Standard Porsche Stability Management uses a range of sensors and Automatic Brake Differential and Anti-Slip Regulation to maintain traction and stability during evasive maneuvers.

Combining refinement, innovation, a legendary reputation for speed, the 2009 Porsche 911 is a true automotive icon that continues to evolve and transform into a more formidable sports car.
