All for car recovery

Comparing to the current Carrera, the new model will feature an updated front fascia and LED headlamps (also used in the 2008 Porsche Boxster). The air intakes are also enlarged and they integrate the turn signals (thankfully in a horizontal arrangement, as opposed to the fang-like design on the 2008 Cayenne).

From the chin spoiler a subtle lower lip extends and continues all the way down to the body sides and into the rear bumper. Said bumper has been revised to accommodate wider-set tailpipes and, unfortunately, droopy Cayenne-style LED tail lamps. Also it is expected that the interior to be updated to go with the new exterior.

Porsche unveiled in the 2007 Cayenne Porsche a new technology called Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) which is supposed to lower the fuel consumption of individual models by over eight percent (NEDC). In real driving conditions, savings of up to 15 percent are possible. The same DFI technology will be used in all the 911 models, and also on the Carrera S.

Although the design is changed, under the hood you will see the same engines as in the current model. The 2009 Carrera will be powered by a six-cylinder unit displacing 3.6 liters and developing 325 hp at 6,800 rpm. Maximum torque of 273 lbs-ft is available from as low as 4,250 rpm. The engine will help the 911 Carrera to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

Also the 3.8 liter Flat-6 engine will be available. It will deliver 355 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and a maximum torque is 295 pound-feet at 4,600 rpm. This will help the Carrera to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and have a top speed of 179 mph.

The 2009 Carrera will come standard with six-speed manual gearbox. The highly advanced Tiptronic S transmission it is already a tradition in all 911 models as an option. This versatile gearbox combines fully automatic five-speed operation with the capability of manual control. But the 2009 Carrera will replace the Tiptronic S with dual-clutch gearbox (also as an option).
