Porsche 991 To Last for 14 Years :O

[m10-power]

996tt awd system is simply a viscous coupler in the front diff housing, lots of questions on how much and when it transfers. Essentially its always transfering some power, concensus is it transfers more based on speed of car up to a maximum of 30%. If either back wheel start to slip it transfers power to the front. Problem with stock cars is the lack of lsd in the rear, this creates unwanted power transfer during hard cornering which causes understeer. With a lsd the cars handles very well, and not at all like a subaru.(with or without the lsd)

Here are a bunch of 991's [including two turbos] out and about with some boxsters and caymans.

Great whip, didnt stray too much, with facelifts 14 years will fly

That white one and the turbos are nice.

Love the cayman and boxster too

I've never driven a 996TT, but I bought a 997TT last spring as my daily driver. I was skeptical when it came time drive it in the snow, but the freakin' car is a tank with Pirelli Sottozeros. I never had any trouble and I drove it every day no matter what the weather looked like. Plus it looks baller with black OZ Ultraleggera wheels for winter duty.

991 Turbo has been out and about winter testing!
http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/30/p...d-about-again/

We've driven the new 991-series Porsche 911, and now the next chapter of the new 911 story – the 2013 Turbo – has been caught proving itself in the wintertide climate. Its most important details – the front and rear bumpers and side intakes – remain behind camo, but we now get a look at how the tail sits across the wider rump, and we think it looks quite good.

When it's finally revealed, the new 911 Turbo is expected to put out more than 500 horsepower – numbers from 520 hp to 550 hp have been mentioned – from it's tri-turboed (yes, three turbos) 3.6-liter flat six. Both the seven-speed PDK and seven-speed manual transmissions should be on offer, and the lighter-than-the-last-Turbo package should be screamingly fast. Have a look at the high-res gallery to see it from just about every angle.

Looks like the first batch of 991s arrived at SCFC today

My favorite Porsche model is nearing its return
Still hoping the manual wins out over the pdk! Also I would like the wing to be more crazy as it should be

2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Virtually Undisguised!
We bring you the best shots to date of the type-991 GT3!

Our trusty Teamspeed spies delight us today with the best 991 GT3 images to date. In these photos we can clearly see the typical GT3-style front bumper , staple centered twin exhaust pipes, and a new style rear wing which appears to be the same as the aero-kit rear spoiler option found in the standard 991 order-book. Our gut tells us this wing was imply affixed for testing purposes as the production version of the new GT3 should have a taller more pronounced wing.

Interesting to take note of the new massive multi-spoke center-lock wheels and the strip of camo tape on the top of the rear bumper, hiding either a row of air-vents or possibly a C4S style reflector strip.

Power is expected to be around 450 horsepower and as mentioned earlier in the week, August Achleitner, the 911 project chief, confirmed that Porsche's motorsport division is currently testing both manual and PDK versions of the new GT3, and If we look closely at the last picture below it does appear to be a paddle on the steering wheel which would suggest this mule is featuring a PDK transmission.

Stay tuned for more news!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[flipstah]

That wing... That glorious wing!

[bspot]

Viscous coupling diffs? Seriously? That surprises the hell out of my.

Why didn't they do some tech sharing with Audi and at least put a Torsen diff in? It's not like those were rare or exotic at the time....

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I want!

[sneek]

talk about one upping. Three turbos and 7 speed manuals.

That said 14 years will fly by. I thought the improvement from 997.1 to 997.2 as pretty dramatic

Sucks you can't get the LSD.

With the 991 lasting for so many years I should be able to get a 997 C2S in a few years hopefully.

The C2S is a bad ass unit. I regret not buying and 05 "launch car' with all options, ceramic brakes, etc a few years back when one came up used. Compared to the 996, the interior is a step up and the car just feels very solid and well put together. The car isn't mind blowing fast but the cabin is a very nice place to be. Also, the 997 C2S looks great with Turbo wheels

911s would be a good car if they had a V8 in them
