Porsche is a German sports car manufacturer, founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. Of the two Porsche models, the Porsche 911 and the Porsche Cayman, the 2006 Porsche 911 has a unique blend of style, performance and sound that's unmatched.
Introduced to the world as the 1965 Porsche 911, the all-new 911 Carrera comes with a 3.6-liter horizontally opposed six good for a 325 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. The next step up the performance ladder is the Carrera S, which has a 3.8-liter version of the boxer six rated for 355 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed Tiptronic automatic is optional, six airbags, four-wheel antilock disc brakes and stability control are included on all 911 models. The Cayenne-inspired interior of the Porsche 911 features a single-pod gauge cluster, supportive bucket seats, a nine-speaker sound system, a 13-speaker Bose surround-sound system is optional for true audiophiles coming in two colors of exterior and interior.
The Porsche 911 is available as a coupe or a convertible, Cabriolet body style. The four main models are the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S and the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S. The base models come with 18-inch wheels, full power accessories and automatic climate control. The S versions are more performance-oriented and have additional equipment like 19-inch wheels, active suspension management technology, larger brakes, bi-High-intensity-Discharge headlights, a sports steering wheel and unique exterior and interior trim. For 2006 there are 5 trims available namely Carrera trims, Carrera S trims, Carrera 4 trims, Carrera 4s trims and Club trims. All models are 2-door coupes rear wheel drives with manual transmission for 2 to 6 cylinder, 3.6 to 3.8 liter and 325 to 381 horse power engines giving 17 to 18 miles per gallon within the city and 25 to 26 on the highway.
For 2006, Porsche adds an all-wheel-drive option to its latest version of Porsche 911, which was introduced last year. The all-wheel-drive models bear the expected Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S nameplates. More power will be available for the 2006 911, as well, through a 381-horsepower Carrera power kit.
Porsche pursues its customer philosophy, supported by the different teams and through its own international cup titles, where technology and experience are bound to feed back from the racetracks into the company. Progress and development is thereby accelerated to racing tempo. This is the true sports spirit at Porsche.
