Frankfurt On-Site Report Vol. 2! Photo Impression - Porsche

<strong>Porsche<br><br>Frankfurt Motor Show 2011: Second Report – Photo Impression: Porsche</strong><h2>The Undisputed Star of the Show</h2>Porsche's booth, now occupying a vast space in Hall 3 alongside the Volkswagen Group, was particularly bustling this year. The main attraction was the unveiling of the new 911, its first redesign in seven years. With the 911 as the undisputed star, concept cars were limited to the previously shown Boxster E, and the rest of the space was filled with production models. However, the lineup was impressively diverse, led by the new 911 Carrera and Carrera S, the limited-edition 911 GT3 RS 4.0, the Cayman S Black Edition, and the Panamera Diesel, making its public debut. Porsche was once again demonstrating its strong momentum.By Yasuhisa Shimashita

<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera S</strong> The new 911, codenamed 991, is 57mm longer but retains the same width. Extensive use of aluminum has significantly reduced its weight. The engine for the Carrera is downsized to 3.4 liters, while the Carrera S remains at 3.8 liters. The introduction of a 7-speed manual transmission is also noteworthy.
