A slimmer airbag steering wheel, redesigned door panels and improved switches give better feel. The heating and ventilation system is revised for better control with a standard pollen filter. Leather is standard. The interior feels refined and more comfortable for long drives, with less wind noise from better seals and a roomier feel from flush glass.
Lower fuel consumption than the previous generation despite higher power
Longer service intervals thanks to hydraulic valve clearance adjustment
Dual front airbags standard
ABS 5 standard
Second-generation side-impact protection with high-strength steel door beams
10-year anti-perforation body warranty
The 3.6-litre engine delivers more power with lower fuel use and longer service intervals than before. Hydraulic valve adjusters remove the need for regular valve clearance checks.
Oil changes are needed at longer intervals than earlier air-cooled 911s, typically every 20,000 km with filter. Major services cover plugs, belts and fluids at higher mileages. The galvanised body carries a long corrosion warranty.
Standard safety includes driver and passenger airbags, ABS 5 brakes with strong ventilated discs, and reinforced side-impact beams. The new multi-link rear axle improves stability and ride. Build quality is high with durable materials suited to long-term ownership.
