What is it like to drive it? The star of the sports car: the Porsche 911
In your mind, what is a sports car? Is it a great look? Is it outstanding performance? Or is it a high price? As one of the world's most famous sports cars, the Porsche 911 is found in various novels and films, and can be said to be the "star" in the sports car. Although it may not seem common in China, this does not prevent us from understanding it. Today, let's take a look at this world-famous sports car from the driver's point of view and learn about its unique charm.
As the most powerful and priced model in the Porsche car series, Porsche 911 has a gorgeous and sporty exterior design at the same time also has a strong performance of riding the dust, not long ago foreign media exposed the latest Porsche 911 convertible version of the model spy photo, the front face using a new LED light source headlight group, for the details have been adjusted, the front surround has been redesigned, the large size air intakes on both sides are more sporty. The side lines of the new car are smooth and moving, and the large-sized rim adopts a blackened design, which is integrated with the whole vehicle and has a strong impact. The taillights at the rear of the car and the exhaust system in the middle of the chassis have a strong sense of movement.
We are appreciating the Porsche 911 from the driver's point of view today, so instead of introducing the new model, we are looking at the Porsche 2020 Carrera Cabriolet 3.0T and seeing what it will give people in terms of driving experience. The driver's seat is first and foremost ergonomic, the most impressive, from the view to the sitting position, which will reduce the driver's pressure in an instant. The seat does not need to be adjusted to a high level, so it is easy to see the front of the car. Although they are all metal shift levers, the 911 will feel a very elastic lever feedback, and other sports cars at the same price can not feel it.
When cruising in the city, the speed of 1000 rpm is very low, even if the sports exhaust is not turned on, it can also provide a very comfortable cockpit environment, and the engine behind it will suppress the sound very low. But as long as the throttle is deep, the PDK gearbox will immediately drop 2 gears to prepare for acceleration, the body does not have any shaking or instability, it will quietly wait for the driver's next command, so even if it does not want too strong acceleration, it can quickly rise back to cruise gear, showing the appearance of a quiet and comfortable GT sports car. When you really speed up and overtake, he can quickly drop to 2nd gear and speed up, in one go, simply and neatly to reach the predetermined goal. Although both steering and braking use electronics to match smarter assist systems, 911 engineers still strive to give people a most original mechanical driving texture, so that the body can be deftly and precisely steered, and the overall balance between comfortable driving and extreme sports has been found.
Compared with the hardtop version of the model, the moment the canopy is opened, the Porsche 911 can release people's repressed hearts in the city, at this time, if you switch to the sport mode and open the exhaust valve, you can feel the restlessness from the body more realistically. Regarding the difference between convertible and hardtop driving, the intensity of everyday driving in the city cannot be felt, perhaps only on the track and in the extreme state.
The 2020 entry-level convertible version of the 911 is powered by a 3.0T twin-turbo horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 385 hp and a peak torque of 450 Nm. The 8-speed PDK transmission is the essence of the Porsche 911, and the electronic gear handles give a good texture, but the size is slightly smaller. When the ejection starts, with the help of the starting control system, the tire will not slip, and the effect of the ejection is very obvious, and the occupants of the car can feel a huge feeling of pushing back. The acceleration time from 0 to 199 km/h is only 3.78 seconds. The braking feels good, the vehicle reacts directly, and the wide tires also provide enough grip when braking at full force, ensuring the braking effect. The braking distance of 100-0km/h is 33.79 meters. In driving, the combined average fuel consumption is 11.3L/100km, which is the inevitable price of strong kinetic energy.
Inside, sport exhaust, body stabilization and suspension adjustment all have separate control keys for quick adjustments for the driver, and a custom function entity button is also provided inside the car. The control area of the air conditioner is in front of the gear, and three metal levers are used to control the air conditioning function, which gives more feedback than the touch button.
The 18-way electrically adjustable seat is optional, neither styling nor design is too aggressive, and is more comfortable for sports cars than for short- and medium-range journeys. The rear seats can almost only serve as storage space, but equipped with a child safety seat interface, the opening canopy can easily fit the child seat, which is a unique advantage of the convertible.
Summary: The driving feeling of the Porsche 911 will always be endless, it does not have particularly excellent driving comfort, and the driving difficulty is not very high, but it gives people a stimulating experience at the same time, but it can also meet the daily transportation needs. Many people say that owning the "star" of a sports car: Porsche 911, is their dream, come on! Maybe you work hard enough to eventually have a Porsche 911 with strong performance, unique charm, high recognition and world-famous styling.
