00:24

compare wow I'm going to race the next

00:26

Formula 1 driver

00:29

[Music]

00:39

welcome to the world premiere of the new

00:41

Porche 911 in stutgart since its birth

00:45

the Porsche 911 has caused a sensation

00:47

by Reinventing itself and repeatedly

00:49

setting new standards for sports cars

00:51

with Technical Innovations but at the

00:53

same time remain true to itself now

00:56

today I have quite the few special

00:57

treats for you iconic cars as well as

01:00

great guest fascinating Tech and not

01:02

forgetting nail-biting race action but

01:04

first up we will be talking to Frank

01:06

mosa who is the man responsible behind

01:09

the two door sports cars at Porche

01:39

[Music]

01:45

Frank the 911 the icon of the brand how

01:49

big of a challenge was it for you to

01:51

take it to the next level it's always a

01:53

huge challenge because we need to bridge

01:55

the gap between shaping the future of

01:57

the 9/11 and maintaining as much as I of

02:00

the unique DNA personally I'm very

02:02

excited to see what you've done here it

02:05

is the new 911 Carrera

02:23

caol it's a stunning car now the first

02:26

thing that strikes me when I look at the

02:28

car there's only one main headlight and

02:30

correct me if I'm wrong no more side

02:32

lights on the front bumper overall on

02:34

the front end we are going for a more

02:35

modern and cleaner look the main

02:37

highlight there is the new HD Matrix

02:41

headlight for the first time with one of

02:43

our twoo sports cars you can choose the

02:45

hd mrix headlights with 32,000

02:48

individually controlled

02:50

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

02:53

it's KN right yes the LED Arc runs

02:56

seamlessly from the one side to the

02:58

other without

03:01

Interruption it seems Bolder wider to me

03:04

and overall yes subtle but important

03:07

changes when it comes to the iconic

03:09

design the interior it's modern even a

03:12

little futuristic the first feature you

03:14

can see is the new 12.6 in curved

03:17

digital

03:20

display you can choose from seven

03:22

different screens it's a complete new

03:24

driver experience and you know I

03:27

couldn't miss this the start button it's

03:29

just like in the Porsche GT race cars

03:31

and of course it's on the left side next

03:33

to the steering wheel and the mode

03:35

switch comes as standard now even in the

03:37

911 Carrera we're actually making a lot

03:40

of feature standard that used to be

03:42

optional but let's talk some numbers I

03:44

know a lot of people buy this car

03:45

because of his performance yes the Flat

03:48

6 Twin to engine is a little stronger

03:50

than before we've gone through

03:52

394 horses and 450 newton meters of

03:56

torque and with more engine power bigger

03:58

brakes are useful and so we increase the

04:01

size of the

04:06

discs the 911 Carrera Cabret it's an

04:10

absolute highlight new technologies have

04:13

continuously defined the Milestones of

04:15

this iconic sports car well today we're

04:18

going to add another technological

04:20

Masterpiece to this impressive lineup

04:23

these cars embody technological

04:25

innovations it seemed controversial at

04:27

the time but really looking back it

04:30

proved the foresight of Porsche

04:32

engineering tell us more this is where

04:34

the 911 Story begins back in the ' 60s

04:38

instead of further developing the 356

04:40

Porsche decided to construct a

04:42

completely new car an innovation with

04:44

130 horsepower incredible power for the

04:47

time well thus creating an icon to be

04:49

right I mean this really set the bar of

04:51

sports cars and their performance levels

04:54

[Music]

05:03

our first water cooled 911 from

05:06

1997 this technology allowed for a more

05:09

efficient Cooling and Porsche was able

05:11

to meet higher emission standards this

05:13

car has at least 300

05:18

horsepower and for some going water cold

05:21

it was Blasphemous wasn't it but still

05:23

this car is an essential stepping stone

05:25

to the 911 success story absolutely

05:28

anything we do is driven by the desire

05:30

to deliver in terms of performance and

05:32

now it's time to add another

05:54

Milestone this is it the new 911 Carrera

05:58

GTS it's beautiful beautiful I mean what

06:00

a way to present the car she's great but

06:03

quite different from the car we saw just

06:05

now that's because the GTS features

06:07

active

06:08

aerodynamics you can see the 10 vertical

06:11

adjustable flaps here at the front and

06:14

look at the wheels the wheels have the

06:17

typical GTS Central Locking System and

06:20

the inside it looks more sporty

06:23

absolutely it's the typical GTS Interior

06:26

with race Texs and the contrast

06:28

stitchings I've heard that it's a hybrid

06:31

car now doesn't that add too much

06:33

additional weight to a sports car no

06:36

absolutely not it's a very special

06:38

hybrid focused on performance maximum

06:40

boost and only very little additional

06:43

weight what is the secret behind it we

06:45

wanted the solution that really enhances

06:48

performance while keeping the weight

06:49

down all while changing the architecture

06:52

as little as possible so we can stay

06:54

true to the character of the 911 and how

06:57

did you do it

07:00

in the rear there's the absolutely new

07:02

powerful Flat 6 attached to the pdk

07:05

which now has an integrated electric

07:08

motor in the front we have a compact

07:11

high voltage battery and finally there's

07:15

an electric motor in the turbocharger

07:18

and that makes it magic so the hybrid

07:21

system is not meant to extend the range

07:24

of driving but to boost performance so

07:26

what's the power output of the whole

07:28

system the 911 Cara GTS has a whopping

07:32

541 horsepower 61 horsepower more than

07:35

the previous car it delivers 610 Newton

07:39

met of torque and has a top speed of 312

07:42

km per hour and most importantly the

07:46

weight of the car is

07:48

1,595 kg that means only 50 kilo more

07:52

than before those are some impressive

07:54

numbers but I want to know more about

07:56

the hybrid thas brandle is one of our

07:58

masterminds behind that dve Trin system

08:00

he will give you all the

08:02

details hi Thomas hi there but tell me

08:05

the 911 corev GTS it's a hybrid now what

08:09

did you do the essential Innovation is

08:11

the electric turbocharger on the Flat 6

08:13

engine it can do two different things it

08:17

delivers compressed air immediately to

08:19

the engine to reduce the turbo to a

08:21

minimum and second it recovers heat

08:23

energy out of the exos gas to add even

08:26

more power to the drivetrain does that

08:27

mean as a driver have to activate it

08:30

not at all um the system reacts to um

08:32

throttle and break only um you can

08:35

visualize it like a puzzle with the flat

08:37

six engine and the electric tuo charger

08:40

the e- motor in the pdk and the high

08:43

performance battery in the front when

08:44

the control units put the piece together

08:47

um what you get is an very exciting

08:49

drive so it automatically shuttles

08:51

through the combinations depending on

08:54

how I put my foot down exactly when you

08:56

need more power the system reacts within

08:58

split seconds giving you more boost and

09:00

torque fill up to 150 Newton met for a

09:04

faster and better acceleration of course

09:06

we can do mechanical recuperation when

09:08

the car is slowing down or braking and

09:10

my favorite feature is the high

09:12

performance feature when you use the

09:14

tubo charger to release extra energy

09:16

running on Full Throttle or even even on

09:19

top speed um so even in this operating

09:22

State the tuo charger is able to recover

09:24

energy to put it on the e- motor and um

09:28

if necessary the battery joints in to

09:30

put even more energy um releasing all

09:32

the 541 horses Thomas that sounds like

09:36

some amazing Precision Engineering thank

09:38

you for that deep dive but I've promised

09:40

everyone for some race action and

09:42

fortunately we do have Matt Watson and a

09:45

set former Formula 1 driver and sports

09:47

car world champion who are going to line

09:49

up the 911 Carrera GTS and go

09:52

head-to-head with its predecessor Thomas

09:55

how do you think this will go let me put

09:57

it this way the data doesn't lie spoken

09:59

like a true engineer well let's take a

10:01

look and see how this

10:03

goes I'm super excited because I'm sat

10:06

on a runway in the brand new 9911

10:09

Carrera GTS and next to me is the

10:11

previous generation 911 Carrera GTS and

10:15

we're going to have a drag race to see

10:16

how their performance Compares over the

10:18

standing quarter mile so to give the

10:20

previous generation Model A Fighting

10:22

Chance we've got someone to drive that

10:24

car who has a bit of experience in

10:26

racing and racing Porsches in particular

10:30

10:43

looks quick and so you should be so well

10:47

let's see how this plays out right yeah

10:49

you've got plenty of experience but so

10:51

have I and obviously it's all going to

10:53

be down to skill and nothing to do with

10:55

the cars at all or the new technology

10:57

it's going to have everything to do with

10:59

it yeah well you need a lot of talent to

11:01

drive in a straight line mate so uh

11:03

you're well versed in that you're well

11:05

versed in that yeah let's see who can

11:08

press the accelerator the hardest come

11:10

on 3 2 1 go 3 2

yeah Mark uh what do you think about my

11:34

driving skills I do like your

11:36

anticipation son and what we're going to

11:38

do now is have a rolling race over the

11:39

half mile we'll do a roll on in second

11:42

gear from 50 km an hour are you ready

11:45

let's go Matt sounds good everything's

11:47

ready

11:48

here okay come on

11:50

then let's get into second get to 50

me yeah I can't imine you mate need did

12:30

a little bit more throy bottom

12:32

in well that was fun I'll tell you what

12:35

though the data doesn't

12:39

lie well Frank I didn't expect that the

12:43

hybrid system would have that much of an

12:44

impact on the quarter mile that's simply

12:47

Testament to how good the new T Hybrid

12:49

drivetrain is well I was going to say a

12:52

drag race it's nice but how does it

12:55
