Maybe these cars are not enough to cause your buzz, or they are not as good as 9 1 1 in your mind. Where is the national brand red flag? I remember that many years ago, when Chinese people were thinking about the appearance of a brand-new red-flag car, when L9, which strictly followed the main design line of CA770, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, it immediately caused an uproar among Chinese people. In fact, this is a typical case of retro design, especially suitable for brand models with certain historical accumulation.
The difficulty is that designers need to make a choice between market cognition and technology on the basis of retaining the original design elements to the maximum extent. After all, the final product should conform to the concept of modernization. And 9 1 1 is such a car that always adheres to this concept, which makes it one of the important factors to achieve today's achievements.
At the beginning of research and development, the designer endowed the Porsche 9 1 1 Carrera 4S in my hand with the design theme of "reviewing the past and learning from the new", erected the slogan of "eternal opportunity" which is not influenced by the times and is indomitable along its own path, and strengthened the concept of combining classicism with innovative spirit.
The seemingly unchanged front actually follows the original design ratio of 9 1 1, and readjusts the shape and placement of headlights. While recreating the original mechanical beauty, the headlights are also equipped with 84-pixel PDLS Plus matrix beam LED headlights. When driving at night, the headlights can detect the opposite vehicle through the camera, and at the same time, they can automatically strengthen the illumination brightness of the other side while avoiding direct high beam. In addition, it also has curve lighting and automatic camera calibration functions to better guide the driver's line of sight. The optional price of this system is 23,700 yuan.
The figure bigger than a generation continues, but the lines become more beautiful and dynamic. On the side of the car body, the designer learned the beautiful curves of 930 and 964, which not only widened the rear wheel eyebrows, but also widened the distance between the front wheels to be consistent with the rear wheels, making the 992 generation 9 1 1 Carrera 4S present a vase-like charming posture. However, it looks like such a simple design. In the stage of smooth sludge model, the designer polished it while touching it, and it took nearly half a year to achieve a nearly perfect visual effect. And it is precisely because of this that since the generation of 9 1 1, all models are no longer divided into wide and narrow bodies.
The wheels are from Pirelli P Zero series, with the front tire size of 245/35 R20 and the rear tire size of 305/30 R2 1. Rim with Carrera classic, worth 27,300. The slim two-color design of 10 spokes makes the red front 6 pistons and rear 4 pistons and the brake system with a diameter of 350mm more conspicuous. Of course, if the ceramic composite braking system is installed, the visual effect will be further improved by the front 4 10mm and the rear 6-piston and rear 4-piston braking systems with a rear 390mm, but it will cost more 1 10400 yuan.
As the biggest change of 992 generation 9 1 1, the design of left and right through taillights is adopted at the rear. In addition to continuing the design elements in 930 and 964, the designer also borrowed from the design of Japanese knives, and widened the wheel eyebrows to make the rear of the car slightly thicker and more flexible. At the same time, the vertical high-position brake light integrated in the air intake grille also makes it full of competition.
Compared with the appearance, the interior design is more in place in the continuation of the classic. First of all, from the design of the center console rising slowly from the left to the right, we can see the shadow of the original 90 1. With the second plane brushed aluminum countertop, I personally think it even exceeds the understanding of 9 1 1 of the post-996 model.
Of course, there are many technological configurations. First of all, in addition to the tachometer in the middle, the dashboard with five-ring elements still uses a manipulator, and the instruments on both sides are composed of 7-inch LCD screens. The design tilted to the driver's line of sight can not only bring a clearer reading experience, but also create a sense of hierarchy.
The design of the central control area is simple and capable, even if the central control screen is embedded in it, it will not destroy the overall retro style. Custom buttons, double flashing lights and hanging soft and hard adjustment buttons commonly used in driving are all designed at the bottom of the eye-catching screen and within reach.
The air outlet and touch adjustment of the air conditioner are designed at the bottom, which is also very convenient to control. Compared with 9 1 1 in previous dynasties, the biggest change is the gearbox handle. Its simple and short design is incredible, almost operated by fingers, just like fiddling with precision instruments.
Fortunately, the 9 1 1 Carrera 4S equipped with Sport Chrono component shift paddles allows me to find a small gear handle without spending more energy during driving, and the texture of the shift paddles is excellent enough, so that I can experience the unique driving charm of the rear four-wheel drive at any time without leaving the steering wheel.
Speaking of driving charm, for 9 1 1, it may be the most important inheritance element besides design. I couldn't wait to turn the key with my left hand, and a familiar roar woke up this 9 1 1 Carrera 4S. It is almost the same as the previous generation of 3.0L horizontally opposed six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, but it can generate the maximum power of 33 1kW at 6500 rpm, and it is between 2300 and 5000 rpm. In fact, engineers have installed two larger turbochargers on this generation of 9 1 1 Carrera 4S engines. The design of the two intake pipes of the dual turbocharger is more gentle and symmetrical, which improves the turbine response speed and power output. In addition, the intercooler is closer to the air collision position, which improves the cooling efficiency by 14% and shortens the length of the engine inlet by 50%.
Matching the engine is an 8-speed PDK transmission. Compared with the 7-speed PDK transmission of 99 1.2 generation, it has tighter transmission ratio and higher execution efficiency and ride comfort under the same volume. According to official data, the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is only 3.6s Of course, with today's scientific and technological level, fast is not the only measure of sports cars, especially for 9 1 1, which shoulders the inheritance mission, how much pleasure it can bring me is the real thing.
Hold the transmission gear and put it into D gear, and step on the accelerator. With the increase of speed, the transmission works actively and steadily. The wide torque platform of the engine keeps me in a state of struggle with G value at all times, but the smart shift logic and ride comfort make me feel pain and enjoy it. ...
The road is not always smooth. Every time there are fluctuations or potholes in Lu Yu, the Active Suspension Management System (PASM) with the value of 1 1900 yuan can always help me to deal with them quickly. The tracking performance of the whole vehicle is almost unaffected except that the slight vibration is transmitted to my nerves. At the same time, this 9 1 1 Carrera 4S doesn't need me to worry about the balance of the rear engine, because with my courage, even if I have some power, I can't seem to break through the four-wheel drive, unless, of course, I turn off the electronic stability program of the body like a ghost.
Under normal conditions, the rear wheel of 9 1 1 Carrera 4S can get 85% torque output, but when entering the curve, this four-wheel drive system can not only transmit the power of the four-wheel drive system according to the power output of the vehicle, but also detect it according to the center of gravity of the vehicle and the steering angle of the front wheel and give the four wheels different power outputs. In addition, the enhanced torque capacity is three times stronger than the cooling performance of 99 1.2, which makes the four-wheel drive system more durable in drifting state.
In the process of fighting the mountain road, maintaining the consistent control level of 9 1 1 Carrera 4S made me forget the existence of time like an internet addiction teenager. Among them, the rear axle steering system worth 28,500 yuan contributed. Compared with the previous generation, the steering is improved by 6 degrees, which not only provides a smaller turning radius, but also makes me more unscrupulous when facing the steep and winding mountain road ahead. Fortunately, my courage didn't let me choose to continue, but I parked my car on the side of the road and continued to appreciate its graceful posture in the afterglow of the sunset.
