I have been experiencing a friend's car recently, and this car has been my concern for a long time. Just writing an article is not enough to express my love for it, nor can it intuitively show its performance, so today we will take a video to savor this legendary car-Porsche 9 1 1! (This article has two versions: video and graphic. Do you want to give me a 666? [smug] [smug])
Friends who are familiar with me (such as Dean Zhao Rui, the moderator of 9 1 1 forum) know that I personally have an obsession with 9 1 1. Because 9 1 1 is not only a legendary model with a heavy history, but also has a classic appearance for decades. For a long time, everything is extraordinary. It is often regarded as the entry standard of super sports cars (refer to the membership standards of mainstream super-running clubs, or divide by body size, displacement and horsepower). The most important thing is that you can find the corresponding 9 1 1 at different price points. Moreover, it is both classic and valuable, so in my eyes, it may not seem so far away.
It still needs to be popularized. 99 1 is the chassis code of Porsche 9 1 1. . 1.2 refers to the changes in appearance and interior before and after the mid-term change, and the most important thing is that the power part is changed from natural inhalation to 3.0T turbocharging. Prior to this, 9 1 1, the turbine was very stingy, and it was exclusive to the turbine series as a top car. Nowadays, the practice of fully equipped turbines can indeed be regarded as a decentralization or a compromise to market competition.
After replacing the turbocharged engine, the power is obviously improved, which is 20 horsepower and 60 Nm higher than the old one. Even with the lowest 3.0T, the power output is 370 HP and 450 Nm. I believe that many people, like me, are not particularly sensitive to the improvement of dynamic data, because after all, there are not so many opportunities to experience its sense of control and acceleration in the extreme state. Then, let's look at the difference in appearance between 99 1.2 and 99 1. 1.
Compared with 99 1.2, 99 1. 1 has little change in appearance. The biggest difference is that the bumper 99 1.2 on the front face becomes an inverted trapezoid, while 99 1. 1 is a regular trapezoid with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part. Then there is the second half. Because 9 1 1 is a rear engine, its air intake has also been upgraded. From the original horizontal bar to the present comb grid. The latest 992 is easy to distinguish, and its taillights become transparent, just like the latest Panamera, Cayenne and Macan. Yes, penetrating taillights are Porsche's latest family design.
Compared with the appearance, the interior is easy to distinguish. The steering wheel style is easy to see that this is a turbocharged version of 9 1 1. As we all know, Porsche's choices are very rich and expensive. Three highlights of Porsche's optional configuration: red interior, SportChrono components and sports exhaust system. The red interior is more in line with the aesthetics of this era, but I personally prefer the blue interior. Then, the SC components and switches of the logo are moved from the platform to the steering wheel.
Like these SC components, they are optional in this car, so the landing price of that year also reached nearly 6.5438+0.6 million. Now my friend has upgraded his car to a full-length Fi exhaust, four semi-hot tires (not assembled in the car for the time being, but there are pictures and the truth), and a set of XPEL LUX invisible car clothes. Including options, including post-installation, will also affect the value of a car. Especially for a "big car" like 9 1 1, the wear degree of paint and interior will directly affect the selling price of the car.
As I said before, you may not pay so much attention to the power of a 9 1 1, and you don't have so many chances to cheat at ordinary times, so 9 1 1 daily travel is no problem! Now let's go back to life and experience the feeling of opening every day. What is it like?
Actually, in my opinion, Porsche's car is Boxster or 9 1 1. What we should value is not its ultimate performance, but its approachable manipulation fun. Why are you approachable? Because, in fact, Porsche drivers are very relaxed, and the requirements for driving skills are not so harsh. For example, if we take a large throttle to accelerate, it will cause a little dislocation, but then it will be pulled back immediately. It doesn't need some driving skills to have fun, like M or AMG. In other words, when driving a 9 1 1, you can feel more at ease and be bolder.
In the corner, the deepest feeling is its tracking. The whole car shell, wheels and steering wheel seem to be connected together. They are a whole, and there are no vacancies. When you run, you will feel that the road and the car are firmly in your hands. The center of gravity of 9 1 1 is too low, and I feel like a toad with four feet sticking to the ground! And this bucket seat will wrap you tightly and won't let your body move. Think fast, think slow, divide if you want, lose your temper if you want ... give me a 9 1 1 and a mountain road. I think I can play all day!
Including 9 1 1, and all Porsche, no brand can better interpret "sports". It's not an easy thing to really take your time and take your time. I am incompetent. I have experienced many sports cars in recent years. Some have strong performance, some are pure in handling, some pursue the ultimate, and some are only born for the track, but no sports car can be so "balanced" as 9 1 1. This is the essence and historical precipitation of 9 1 1 automobile series, and it is also the value and charm of Porsche brand.
In fact, during the road test, I didn't deliberately talk about its push back feeling, acceleration and motivation. 370 horsepower, 450 Nm, official 100 km acceleration of 4.4 seconds. Porsche has always been conservative about the release of data. Personally, 3.0T 99 1.2 is not inferior to 99 1. 1 Carreras (here @ Nissan Ares GT-R[ supercilious look]).
Let's just say that its push-back feeling is enough to make your heart beat faster and make your co-pilot's beauty secrete hormones. Oh, by the way, it also has a magical gearbox called "bulletproof" PDK. Therefore, it seems meaningless to talk about power in front of 9 1 1. A real sports car is never defined by an acceleration (again @ Nissan Ares GT-R [supercilious look]). In addition, 9 1 1 has a variety of options, namely, rear drive, four-wheel drive, fast, fast and fast. ...
After paying attention to 9 1 1 for so long, the deepest experience is that it is classic and interesting, and every generation will give you a good sense of gain. However, I have to admit that one mountain is higher than another, and each generation is stronger. This 99 1.2, which was launched on 20 16, is still on sale, and its used car will catch up with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class at the lowest price. Driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its aura, but at this age with a little passion, are you sure you want to be a comfortable "driver"? Or choose to be yourself for once?
Because shooting video takes up a lot of time, the picture is not rich enough. A more intuitive feeling is to watch the video. [victory] [victory]
