New Porsche 2020 992 for Sale in West Palm Beach, FL
2020 Porsche 992:
- The new 911 is the sum of its predecessors – and is therefore a reflection of the past and a vision of the future. The silhouette: iconic. The design: timeless. The technology: inspired by great racing victories and always one step ahead. With the eighth generation of the 911, we’re driving into the future.
- Timeless and contemporary have never been so close.
Exterior Design:
-
Only a single line is required to describe the 911: the so-called flyline with a longer, flatter lid, steeply inclined windscreen and gently rearward sloping roof line. It characterised the original 911 for over 50 years and finds its highly contemporary counterpart in the current 911.To appreciate the design of the 911, it’s best to begin where its heart beats: the rear, where its horizontally opposed engine is to be found. Surrounded by a powerful rear end that has permanently shaped the proportions of the 911. The rear end is clearly and precisely designed. Straight lines, with an evident horizontal orientation. Focusing on the essential.
Interior Design:
-
Good design should be pioneering, as should the technology. The interior of the 911 is, therefore, blazing new trails – in that it reflects old strengths and expands new possibilities. The principle: analog precision meets digital integration – as always, strictly aimed at the driver.
-
The horizontal orientation of the interior is striking. All the relevant operating controls are located, within grasp, to the left and right of the Multifunction sports steering Wheel. And therefore directly adjacent to the driver. A principle that distinguished the first three generations of the 911 – for a clear and light interior architecture and exceptional ease of use.Directly in view: the instrument cluster with the analog tachometer as the central element. To the left and right of this are two high-resolution 7˝ displays that provide all the essential car information on virtual instruments. Right beside this: the high-resolution 10.9˝ touchscreen display of Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
Performance:
-
The engines have two turbochargers, one per cylinder bank, as well as the intercooler. The intercooler is an important part of exhaust gas turbocharging. It makes a substantial contribution to improving performance while simultaneously reducing emissions. The two intercoolers have swapped places with the air filter. The intercoolers are located centrally under the rear lid grille, instead of laterally in the fenders. This position improves the inflow and outflow of cooling air. The result: vastly improved efficiency.
-
But not only the power output and efficiency of the engine have been increased – the engine mounts are also positioned closer to the center of the vehicle. What sounds like a minor adjustment delivers enormous benefits: the engine is more firmly connected, which noticeably improves stability. Vibrations are reduced and ride comfort further improved.
Transmission:
- The enhanced 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) allows extremely fast gear changes without interrupting the flow of power – now even by a millisecond. In comparison to previous generations, the 8-speed PDK offers a perceptibly wider middle ground between comfort, performance and efficiency.
-
PDK is essentially two gearboxes in one. This double-clutch arrangement provides an alternating, force-locked connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts. The flow of power from the engine is transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half gearbox. During a gear change, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. The result: extremely short switch times with no interruption in the flow of power – in short, extremely sporty tuning. This is mainly noticeable in gears one to six. These have a sports ratio, with top speed being achieved in sixth gear.
-
And what about efficiency? Also high. Because thanks to the additional eighth gear, the increments of the two overdrive ratios (gears seven and eight) are even better coordinated, as is their connection to the sixth gear. Which helps to keep engine revs low, even at high
Breaking:
-
Proven in motorsport, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. On the 911, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB have a diameter of 410mm at the front and 390mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance. PCCB features six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow. They provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
-
PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. And improves safety under high-speed braking, thanks to its excellent fade resistance. Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than cast-iron discs of a similar design and size. The result: a reduction in unsprung masses and therefore better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.
-
If we’ve learnt one thing during 70 years of sports car production, then it’s the importance of never losing traction. That’s why the wheels and tires on the rear axle are not only wider, but also larger than those at the front. While the broader contact surface optimizes performance, the larger diameter of the rear wheels increases stability and comfort.
-
The 911 Carrera models are equipped as standard with 19/20-inch Carrera wheels featuring five dual-arm spokes and the S models with 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels featuring a 10-spoke design. The material: lightweight alloy, of course. The design: traditionally sporty. Timeless, in fact. How about something even more dynamic? More intricate? In the same color as your car? More 20/21-inch wheels in various designs are available on request.
Chassis:
-
Rear-axle steering enhances performance and suitability for everyday use in equal measure. For particularly nimble handling combined with a significant increase in driving stability.
-
The advantage for day-to-day driving: at low speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This leads to a virtual shortening of the wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced, cornering steering response becomes considerably more dynamic and parking is noticeably easier.
-
The advantage for sporty driving: at high speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. Driving stability is increased by the virtual extension of the wheelbase and agility is enhanced by the simultaneous steering of the front and rear axles.
