2014 porsche 911 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New turbo and gt3 versions. introductionthe launch of the seventh-generation porsche 911 began with the 2012 model year, extending through 2013 and into 2014 as all the variants adopted the new platform and body. Ranking as a big leap forward, the new 991, as it's called internally, replaced the outgoing 997 (2007-2011). three new versions are arriving for 2014: porsche 911 turbo and turbo s cabriolets, along with a redesigned, track-ready gt3 coupe. the porsche 911 gt3 enters its fifth generation with a new engine, transmission, chassis and body. In addition to a broad profile and rear wing, the gt3 has a new option: full-led headlights. Active rear-wheel steering is new, and the 3. 8-liter flat-six engine generates 475 horsepower. That's sufficient for 0-60 mph acceleration in an eye-popping 3. 3 seconds, according to porsche. porsche also is offering a 50th anniversary edition, based on the 911 carrera s. New 911 options for 2014 include led headlights and turbo wheels. the redesigned turbo and turbo s coupes arrived late in 2013, replacing the previous-generation versions that had been sold during 2013. In addition to being all-new, turbo coupes and cabriolets gain active rear-wheel steering and adaptive aerodynamics, as well as a power boost. The 3. 8-liter turbo engine generates 520 horsepower, while the turbo s promises 560 hp. the 2014 porsche 911 carrera is available in coupe and cabriolet forms. It comes in two states of tune: 350-horsepower carrera and 400-horsepower carrera s. The 2014 porsche 911 carrera 4, carrera 4s, carrera 4 cabriolet, and carrera 4s cabriolet bring all-wheel drive into the equation. That's a lot of models, each one a fantastic sports car. The carrera s goes with a 3. 8-liter flat-six making 400 hp and 325 lb.-ft. Of torque, with a 4. 1-second 0-60 time. Both engines are available with a 7-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which porsche dubs pdk (for doppelkupplung). cabriolets feature an automatic soft top that can be raised or lowered in just 13 seconds, at speeds of up to 31 mph. Every carrera variant is available as a cabriolet. one notable difference between this 991 generation and the prior 997 is the steering. Porsche switched from a hydraulic system to electric steering, a move that created a stir among enthusiasts. Porsche claims its pdcc technology enhances cornering performance by keeping the tires in their optimal position at all times, while minimizing body roll. the porsche 911 is surprisingly conservative when it comes to fuel economy. A lighter curb weight compared to the previous generation, combined with technologies such as auto stop/start, helps the 2014 porsche carrera achieve an epa-estimated 19/27 mpg city/highway with the manual transmission and 20/28 mpg with the pdk. The all-wheel-drive carrera 4s is less fuel-friendly, but still reasonable for the class, at 18/26 mpg city/highway with manual and 18/25 mpg with the pdk. Turbos get an estimate of 17/24 mpg city/highway. each 2014 porsche 911 is a markedly refined machine. Each comes in coupe and cabriolet versions, which feature a power-folding soft top, with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. There is a choice of engines and transmissions. the porsche 911 carrera coupe 84,300), carrera cabriolet 96,200), the all-wheel-drive carrera 4 91,030), and the carrera 4 cabriolet 102,930) feature a 3. 4-liter flat-six engine that makes 350 horsepower and 287 pound-feet of torque, and a choice of a 7-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch (pdk) transmission. Standard equipment includes everything found on carrera models plus larger brakes and an adjustable sport suspension, known as the porsche active suspension management system (pasm) with a lower ride height and selectable driving modes. Standard wheels are 20-inch alloys. a porsche 911 50th anniversary edition 124,100), based on the 911 carrera s coupe, features the company's wide body. Included are a powerkit that boosts output to 430 horsepower, with a sport chrono package. A total of 1,963 will be built. the 2014 porsche 911 turbo 148,300) and turbo s 181,100) come standard with all-wheel drive. Both are powered by a turbocharged 3. 8-liter flat-six good for 520 hp and 487 lb.-ft. Turbo comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission; pdk is optional. The turbo s cranks out 560 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque and comes standard with pdk. Turbos feature a full leather interior, full-power 14-way front seats, auto-dimming interior and driver-side mirrors and a 12-speaker 445-watt bose surround-sound system, as well as unique exterior styling with flared rear fenders, and more aggressive suspension tuning. The turbo s adds adaptive sport seats, carbon-ceramic brakes and unique interior color schemes. The turbo cabriolet 160,700) and turbo s cabriolet 193,900) are similarly equipped. the 2014 porsche 911 gt3 130,400) includes a 475-hp engine and special 7-speed doppelkupplung transmission, as well as active rear-wheel steering. base prices are relatively reasonable, but options add up fast. The roof is lower, track is wider, and the wheels are larger in diameter. the porsche 911's headlamps have a bit more of a three-dimensional look than in the past, in keeping with a body that is more sculpted than before. The sheet metal has a more precise and taut feel, with a cabin that moved ever so slightly forward. Overall appearance is more dynamic: refined, yet aggressive. most models, even the base 911 carrera, have an active wing that pops up to add downforce in high-speed turns. It's part of a handling package that can include the porsche dynamic chassis control (pdcc) active roll stabilization system. the newest 911 may be bigger, but it shed a surprising amount of weight, thanks to the increased use of aluminum and other lightweight materials. Curb weight totals 3,086 pounds with the pdk (double-clutch) gearbox, about 100 pounds less than the old model. That's no mean feat, considering all the other new technologies stuffed inside. interiorsports cars have traditionally put their emphasis on what's under the hood, not in the cabin, but recent generations of the porsche 911 have focused more attention on the interior. This latest generation is no exception. Although the 911 employs a classic 2+2 configuration, the back seats are best suited to small children and light packages. the overall appearance of the interior is one of teutonic efficiency.
