ATLANTA, GA, May 11, 2004 – Porsche® today disclosed the first information available on two all-new Porsche 911s destined to be the flagship models for its model year 2005 sports car lineup. The all-new Porsche 911 Carrera and more powerful 911 Carrera S combine the classic 911 silhouette, a trademark of the model for more than 40 years, with new and more aggressive styling.

Both models feature Porsche’s traditional horizontally opposed flat-six cylinder engines. The 911 Carrera’s 3.6-liter unit produces 325 HP (SAE) while the 911 Carrera S’s newly developed 3.8-liter power plant delivers 355 HP (SAE). Both cars also have a new six-speed gearbox and a reworked chassis, which includes active suspension as standard on the S model.

The new 911 models will go on sale in the second half of 2004. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the 911 Carrera is $69,300 US and $101,400 Canadian and for the 911 Carrera S $79,100 US and $115,650 Canadian.

On the 911 the S signified a widebody, will it also with the 997?

not always .. may be .. they wanna to go back to the oldie !

911 S !

HP is about the same as 996 .. but I guess that is the marketing plan .. so in 3 yr .. they can "increase" the HP from 325 to 350 for base 997, and from 355 to 370 for 911 S etc ..

Very nice looking car ! hopefully, they will keep the nice legend ! no V8 please ... :rofl:

The old headlights took some time to get used to but they really grew on me. I like them much better than the old round style in these photo's. Porsche pursist babies whined their asses off to get this back into production.. and well they buy the cars so they can have what they want.

YES! haha, thats how the 996 shoulda looked. i actually didn't mind the lights on the 996 when it first came out because they still looked slick but i hated the turbo style lights that they switched to.

I hated the headlights they switched to last generation, the 993 is the greatest looking porsche ever, this isn't far behind :thumbsup:

Awesome, those are the first unmasked pics Ive seen of the car. It definitely resembles the 993 which is also one of my favourite 911's. Have you seen the 998 turbo? its quite impressive as well

I like! I like!
It's very rare for a manufacturer to admit they went the wrong direction with their design and revert back to the older styling cues. I think it looks great, but would look perfect if the rear fenders were more flared a la 993 Turbo style
