Spy Shots showing the new 2019 Porsche 911 (992)
testing in China. The Chinese market is one of the largest world wide for the
911, so Porsche has to make sure their iconic sportscar behaves well on Chinese
roads.
The 992 stands on an all new ‘MMB’ platform. The new
911 will be wider than the current car but length will remain the same. The
entire range, including the GT3, will use turbocharged six-cylinder engines,
marking the end of naturally aspirated units for the line-up.
The GT3 will deliver more than 500 bhp, while the
standard models are set to get an extra 10-15 bhp over today’s Carrera and
Carrera S. The current Carrera and Carrera S deliver 364 bhp and 414 bhp
respectively, so the 992-generation 911 will produce 375 bhp to 429 bhp.
A hybrid 911 will also be introduced to the range in
2020. It will run the flat six with an electric motor, providing limited
all-electric and performance-boosting functions. The interior will get a
digital makeover. The instrument panel will have an analog rec counter in the
middle flanked by two digital dials on each side. The touch screen measures 10
inches.
