LIVING MOMENTS N° 6

179 Living Moments PORSCHE 911 I TIMELESS MACHINE The exterior design is familiar and yet unmistakably new. The eighth-gen- eration 911 is wider, more asser- tive, and more advanced. The rear of all models is dominated by the significantly wider, variable-posi- tion spoiler and the seamless, ele- gant light bar. The newly developed LED headlights illustrate how tech- nology has advanced in the 911. These headlights are integrated into the wings almost seamlessly, taking the typically-911 round and upright form. The interior is distinc- tive, with the clear, straight lines and recessed instruments defining the dashboard. Now 10.9 inches in size, the centre screen of the Por- sche Communication Management (PCM) can be operated quickly and without causing distraction. The seats have also been fundamental- ly modified. Intelligent control and chassis elements as well as inno- vative assistance systems combine the masterfully uncompromising dynamism that the classic rear-en- gine sportscar is famed for, with the demands of the digital world. Additional highlights include Por- sche Wet mode to make driving on wet roads even safer, Night Vision As- sist with thermal imaging camera, as well as comprehensive connectivity that uses swarm intelligence.
