2006 Porsche 911 Overview

Introduction

The Porsche 911 remains one of the easiest supercars to live with in daily use. They are thoroughly modern driving machines, packed with the latest in material advances, engine technology and electronic management.

The Porsche 911 lineup starts with the Carrera, powered by a 3.6-liter version of Porsche's classic flat six-cylinder engine generating 325 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Carrera S and Carrera S Cabriolet are powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder, delivering 355 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The new Carrera 4 is equipped similarly to the standard rear-drive Carrera, but with the added advantage of all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo S gets Porsche's race-bred, twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6-liter engine, creating a whopping 444 horsepower. Safety features on all models include Porsche Stability Management and curtain-style head protection airbags, which deploy from the doors and augment the front and side-impact torso airbags.

For 2006, new Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models join the Carrera and Carrera S models that were introduced for 2005. Cabriolet versions also join the 2006 Porsche 911 lineup.
