Exciting Updates for the 2021 Porsche 911 Lineup
The 992-generation Porsche 911 has made its debut, and it promises a range of impressive equipment upgrades for the 2021 model year. Buyers can anticipate new features including:
- A brand-new exterior color option.
- Wider availability of the front-end lift feature, ideal for steep driveways.
- A luxurious leather interior package inspired by the iconic Porsche 930.
For those residing in Europe, an exciting seven-speed manual transmission option will be available for the 911 Carrera S and 4S models.
Innovative Features and Technologies
The base 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera models will introduce Porsche’s advanced Smartlift and InnoDrive features for the very first time. These technologies, previously exclusive to the Porsche 911 Turbo S, now become available on lower-trim models:
- Smartlift: This front-end lift system has been enhanced with GPS-based memory, enabling it to automatically raise the front axle at known potential bottom-out locations.
- InnoDrive: This sophisticated adaptive cruise control system can predictively adjust driving speed by utilizing GPS data up to 1.8 miles ahead, allowing for smoother deceleration through corners or downshifting for hills. Additionally, it now includes lane keep assist.
Updated Comfort and Aesthetic Options
Another notable update is the introduction of a lightweight, noise-insulating glazing for all window models, aimed at reducing cabin noise. The exciting color Python Green has been added to the 911’s palette, while the previously named Light Design package has been rebranded as the Ambient Lighting package, featuring seven distinctive color settings.
Classic Inspiration and Nostalgic Features
For Porsche enthusiasts outside the U.S., the inclusion of a seven-speed manual transmission as a complimentary option when purchasing a 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera S or 4S with the Sport Chrono package is particularly noteworthy. This package also features a new tire temperature gauge to enhance performance monitoring. The 930 Leather package, named after the iconic original 911 Turbo, is now available for all 911 models and reflects the classic Porsche aesthetic with quilted leather upholstery.
Porsche has yet to announce the pricing and exact launch timing for the 2021 911 lineup and its new enhancements. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
