The world premiere of the new Porsche 911

[Music]

once again the 911 is Reinventing

itself it was a very big treat for the

whole engineering

team so it's a hybrid just a

performance I'm really curious to see

how this Tech is going to

[Applause]

compare wow I'm going to race the next

Formula 1 driver

[Music]

welcome to the world premiere of the new

Porche 911 in stutgart since its birth

the Porsche 911 has caused a sensation

by Reinventing itself and repeatedly

setting new standards for sports cars

with Technical Innovations but at the

same time remain true to itself now

today I have quite the few special

treats for you iconic cars as well as

great guest fascinating Tech and not

forgetting nail-biting race action but

first up we will be talking to Frank

mosa who is the man responsible behind

the two door sports cars at Porche

[Music]

Frank the 911 the icon of the brand how

big of a challenge was it for you to

take it to the next level it's always a

huge challenge because we need to bridge

the gap between shaping the future of

the 9/11 and maintaining as much as I of

the unique DNA personally I'm very

excited to see what you've done here it

is the new 911 Carrera

caol it's a stunning car now the first

thing that strikes me when I look at the

car there's only one main headlight and

correct me if I'm wrong no more side

lights on the front bumper overall on

the front end we are going for a more

modern and cleaner look the main

highlight there is the new HD Matrix

headlight for the first time with one of

our twoo sports cars you can choose the

hd mrix headlights with 32,000

individually controlled

LEDs I'm a fan of this the r light bar

it's KN right yes the LED Arc runs

seamlessly from the one side to the

other without

Interruption it seems Bolder wider to me

and overall yes subtle but important

changes when it comes to the iconic

design the interior it's modern even a

little futuristic the first feature you

can see is the new 12.6 in curved

digital

display you can choose from seven

different screens it's a complete new

driver experience and you know I

couldn't miss this the start button it's

just like in the Porsche GT race cars

and of course it's on the left side next

to the steering wheel and the mode

switch comes as standard now even in the

911 Carrera we're actually making a lot

of feature standard that used to be

optional but let's talk some numbers I

know a lot of people buy this car

because of his performance yes the Flat

6 Twin to engine is a little stronger

than before we've gone through

394 horses and 450 newton meters of

torque and with more engine power bigger

brakes are useful and so we increase the

size of the

discs the 911 Carrera Cabret it's an

absolute highlight new technologies have

continuously defined the Milestones of

this iconic sports car well today we're

going to add another technological

Masterpiece to this impressive lineup

these cars embody technological

innovations it seemed controversial at

the time but really looking back it

proved the foresight of Porsche

engineering tell us more this is where

the 911 Story begins back in the ' 60s

instead of further developing the 356

Porsche decided to construct a

completely new car an innovation with

130 horsepower incredible power for the

time well thus creating an icon to be

right I mean this really set the bar of

sports cars and their performance levels

[Music]

our first water cooled 911 from

1997 this technology allowed for a more

efficient Cooling and Porsche was able

to meet higher emission standards this

car has at least 300

horsepower and for some going water cold

it was Blasphemous wasn't it but still

this car is an essential stepping stone

to the 911 success story absolutely

anything we do is driven by the desire

to deliver in terms of performance and

now it's time to add another

Milestone this is it the new 911 Carrera

GTS it's beautiful beautiful I mean what

a way to present the car she's great but

quite different from the car we saw just

now that's because the GTS features

active

aerodynamics you can see the 10 vertical

adjustable flaps here at the front and

look at the wheels the wheels have the

typical GTS Central Locking System and

the inside it looks more sporty

absolutely it's the typical GTS Interior

with race Texs and the contrast

stitchings I've heard that it's a hybrid

car now doesn't that add too much

additional weight to a sports car no

absolutely not it's a very special

hybrid focused on performance maximum

boost and only very little additional

weight what is the secret behind it we

wanted the solution that really enhances

performance while keeping the weight

down all while changing the architecture

as little as possible so we can stay

true to the character of the 911 and how

did you do it

in the rear there's the absolutely new

powerful Flat 6 attached to the pdk

which now has an integrated electric

motor in the front we have a compact

high voltage battery and finally there's

an electric motor in the turbocharger

and that makes it magic so the hybrid

system is not meant to extend the range

of driving but to boost performance so

what's the power output of the whole

system the 911 Cara GTS has a whopping

541 horsepower 61 horsepower more than

the previous car it delivers 610 Newton

met of torque and has a top speed of 312

km per hour and most importantly the

weight of the car is

1,595 kg that means only 50 kilo more

than before those are some impressive

numbers but I want to know more about

the hybrid thas brandle is one of our

masterminds behind that dve Trin system

he will give you all the

details hi Thomas hi there but tell me

the 911 corev GTS it's a hybrid now what

did you do the essential Innovation is

the electric turbocharger on the Flat 6

engine it can do two different things it

delivers compressed air immediately to

the engine to reduce the turbo to a

minimum and second it recovers heat

energy out of the exos gas to add even

more power to the drivetrain does that

mean as a driver have to activate it

not at all um the system reacts to um

throttle and break only um you can

visualize it like a puzzle with the flat

six engine and the electric tuo charger

the e- motor in the pdk and the high

performance battery in the front when

the control units put the piece together

um what you get is an very exciting

drive so it automatically shuttles

through the combinations depending on

how I put my foot down exactly when you

need more power the system reacts within

split seconds giving you more boost and

torque fill up to 150 Newton met for a

faster and better acceleration of course

we can do mechanical recuperation when

the car is slowing down or braking and

my favorite feature is the high

performance feature when you use the

tubo charger to release extra energy

running on Full Throttle or even even on

top speed um so even in this operating

State the tuo charger is able to recover

energy to put it on the e- motor and um

if necessary the battery joints in to

put even more energy um releasing all

the 541 horses Thomas that sounds like

some amazing Precision Engineering thank

you for that deep dive but I've promised

everyone for some race action and

fortunately we do have Matt Watson and a

set former Formula 1 driver and sports

car world champion who are going to line

up the 911 Carrera GTS and go

head-to-head with its predecessor Thomas

how do you think this will go let me put

it this way the data doesn't lie spoken

like a true engineer well let's take a

look and see how this

goes I'm super excited because I'm sat

on a runway in the brand new 9911

Carrera GTS and next to me is the

previous generation 911 Carrera GTS and

we're going to have a drag race to see

how their performance Compares over the

standing quarter mile so to give the

previous generation Model A Fighting

Chance we've got someone to drive that

car who has a bit of experience in

racing and racing Porsches in particular

let's go over to him hey Mark how you

doing very good mate very good so what

do you think is going to happen here

have you got a chance I'm born ready but

I'm a bit nervous about what you're in

looks quick and so you should be so well

let's see how this plays out right yeah

you've got plenty of experience but so

have I and obviously it's all going to

be down to skill and nothing to do with

the cars at all or the new technology

it's going to have everything to do with

it yeah well you need a lot of talent to

drive in a straight line mate so uh

you're well versed in that you're well

versed in that yeah let's see who can

press the accelerator the hardest come

on 3 2 1 go 3 2

1 yes come

on wow that

up woo

yeah Mark uh what do you think about my

driving skills I do like your

anticipation son and what we're going to

do now is have a rolling race over the

half mile we'll do a roll on in second

gear from 50 km an hour are you ready

let's go Matt sounds good everything's

ready

here okay come on

then let's get into second get to 50

right here we go 3 2 1 go w

oh come

on oh my

gosh I am loving

this how is that for you mark it was

wonderful for

me yeah I can't imine you mate need did

a little bit more throy bottom

in well that was fun I'll tell you what

though the data doesn't

lie well Frank I didn't expect that the

hybrid system would have that much of an

impact on the quarter mile that's simply

Testament to how good the new T Hybrid

drivetrain is well I was going to say a

drag race it's nice but how does it

perform on a track when you combine

acceleration with lateral performance of

course we put all our cars on the test

track and the nuring N life is one of

our preferred test tracks so we put YK

behind the wheel have a

look with the hybridization the response

feels almost like that of a naturally

aspirated engine you step on the gas and

it accelerates immediately which is what

you want as a driver especially on the

racetrack the work that the engineers

and visak accomplish is impressive what

they achieve from generation to

generation is a real pleasure as a

[Music]

driver Frank that GTS badge is well

deserved what a spectacular time it is

8.7 second faster than the predecessor

and to bring all the power to the road

we optimized the chassis we also

increased the size of the rear tires to

315 Ms but there was a wing on the car

right you're absolutely right that was

the optional aerrow kit and what about

the suspension the refined Sports

suspension and the rear wheel steering

that comes a standard now contribute

immensely to the optimized performance

of the car and if I'm not wrong you also

drove the car I drove the car several

times during

development it's an absolute

[Music]

blast it looks like the new Porsche 911

will be in a league of icons fresher on

the outside and on the inside way more

digital the performance well the new T

hybrid it is innovative powerful and a

real game changer in typical Porsche

fashion now if you want to know more

information you can head on over to the

Porche Newsroom or you can configure

your very own Coupe Cabret or taga thank

you for watching that is all goodbye

from Guy

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Hey listen mate I mean I think it's only

fair I get to go in the new car come on

please

all

right okay I'm not going to make it easy

for him let's just move the seat into a

really awkward position cuz I know he's

quite

tall there you go good luck good luck

thank you thank you he's even shut the

door on

me

a what a

gentleman thank you thank you come on

start the race start the race come on
