Porsche 992: New Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe and Cabriolet Announced

Porsche 911 Turbo S (992)

From 10 days ago, this March 3, 2020 Japan time 18:10 will comeI was waiting..

Some kind of "announcement of a new model" by Porsche livestreaming.

Already, that "new model" is "Porsche 992 turbo, isn't it?" Was something that almost everyone knew from various media information, but for the time being, it will be officially announced. I don't know what will happen until!

so! !!

Finally finally. The really new Porsche 911 Turbo S coupe and even the cabriolet have been officially announced today.

I myself did not know if I could watch the live broadcast in real time, but for me, who gives Porsche the highest priority, I watched it in real time.

Strictly tell the children, "I have an important job to do, so don't talk to me!" And then wait in front of the PC screen. What kind of parent (laughs).

Since it was a live broadcast from 18:10 on March 3, 2020 (Tuesday), it was around 18:00 when I accessed the live stream site from my PC.

The screen is not a countdown already, but the following image ↓

At the time of the announcement on the live broadcast of Taikan, like this, a few minutes before the last minute, there was a notification screen saying "It will start soon" against the background of the image of Porsche running, so the beginning of the live broadcast will continue. It may always be like this.

And finally, about 5 minutes before the start of the broadcast, the video will change to the venue ...

There are three Porsche cars hidden in the cloth designed as "911" at the venue.

This cloth (?) Is nice.

The "911" font logo used on the new Porsche 911 is printed in black on a white background. Fashionable.

Only the one in the center shows the rear side and its tail light is shining.

Ah ~ I'm excited ~. A little more! !!

When I was looking at the screen, I saw the words "I'll do it from 10:10 AM" on the screen of the press release venue. Oh yeah, the live broadcast is at 10am, isn't it?

This (Japan) is already 18:00 in the evening, so it feels strange.

However, it is a venue with an atmosphere that looks good at "night" when you look only at the video.

Ah, it's cool.

Will you unveil it soon?

I think it's a turbo, but is it a turbo?

Well, when I was looking at the screen, oh.

There is a 1:54 countdown left, and suddenly the letters "#911 Turbo" appear! !!

... I put it out in front of Unveil ... Eh, was it so officially crazy (laughs)?

After I was convinced that it was a turbo, I had one minute left.

10 seconds left.

time!

And, Mr. Mark Webber, a former F1 racer who is a Porsche brand ambassador (Porsche ambassador), has appeared.

He will be the moderator, as he was when the Taycan was announced.

Porsche Turbo S is played in the video ...

Running turbo S. It's cool! !! !!

And the three cars at the venue are also unveiled.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume appeared.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is a new 3.8-liter twin VTG turbocharged boxer engine. 650 horsepower (70 horsepower higher than the previous model). MAX torque is 800Nm.

The 8-speed PDK Turbo S achieved 0-100km in 2.7 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than before). The maximum speed is 330km / h.

The image is a little mixed up, but after Oliver, Frank-Steffen Walliser, who is in charge of development of 911, also appeared.

The front of the body is 45 mm larger than before, 1,840 mm, and the rear is 20 mm larger, 1,900 mm.

The size of the tires is different between the front and rear, 20 inches (255/35) at the front and 21 inches (315/30) at the rear.

This car is a sports exhaust (optional), and the height is reduced by 10 mm due to Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

In addition, I think that various proper information will come out from now on, and I think that information will be posted on the Porsche Japan site as well.

First of all, I wanted to convey the atmosphere of what the live broadcast was like, so I wrote only some of the announcements along with the screenshots from the live broadcast ^^

At 18:23, about 13 minutes after the live broadcast started, Mark said, "Well, everyone, have a nice day!" Is early.

After everyone was gone, the announced Porsche 911 Turbo S and others were swept away for a while and ended.

I wonder if it was over at 18:24.

After a while, I think that the recording of this live broadcast will be uploaded on the Porsche official website.

No, when I look at the wonderful Porsche 911 again in this way, I still think "I want it".

Exposed desire (laughs).

No ~ Turbo is cool ~! I want it ~. It ’s good.

I'm already thinking "I like it" in my head (laughs).

Good, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S ^^! !! !!
