Porsche 911 highlights
The 2005 Porsche 911 redesigned rear-wheel-drive models. The models are
available as coupes and convertible Cabriolets. They all have a
rear-mounted, horizontally opposed 6-cyl engine. The redesigned Porsche
911 has subtly altered styling and dimensions and changed the interior. There
are two types of 911: The Carrera, with a 325-hp 3.6 liter engine and The
Carrera S, with 355-hp 3.8 liter.
The 6-speed manual transmission is standard to all 911s. Optional, we can choose
the 5-speed automatic with manual shift gate and steering-wheel controls.
Standard, the 911s have antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, antiskid/traction control
and front side airbags. The redesigned Careras include side airbags in the
windowsills for head protection. In the convertibles models, we find a power top
and heated glass rear window. A suspension with lowered ride height and shock
absorbers are standard on the Carrera S and optional on the Carrera. This system
helps adjusting firmness within driver selectable Normal and Sport models. All
other Porsche models have 18 inch wheels, but the Carrera S has 19s. An option
for the Carrera is a Sport Chrono Package. It includes a dashboard-mounted
stopwatch and it allows altering various engine and chassis controls in order to
improve driving performance. All 911s offer a navigation system.
