Porsche 911 Named 2012 World Performance Car |
The Porsche 911 was one of 34 new-for-2012 vehicles
selected for the annual awards program.
The World Performance Car honor is awarded by an
international jury panel comprised of 66 top-level automotive journalists from
25 countries around the world. Each juror typically drives and evaluates new
vehicles on a regular basis as part of his or her professional work. Through
their respective outlets they collectively reach an audience of millions of
automotive consumers in every corner of the globe.
Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America said "We are honored that the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S was chosen by this distinguished group of jurors as the 2012 World Performance Car, for just the seventh time in almost 50 years the iconic 911 has been revised to the point of being a new-generation, and winning this award from a global team of world-class journalists is excellent validation for the work and dedication of everyone at Porsche."
The all-new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera has been refined
from the ground level, its Lower, wider, longer, more powerful and more
efficient than its predecessor. Delivering 350hp and 400hp respectively, the
3.4-liter 911 Carrera and 3.8-liter Carrera S boxer engines are available with
a seven-speed manual gearbox or the seven-speed dual-clutch
Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) automatic. When fitted with the Sport
Chrono PDK, the Carrera can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while
the Carrera S reaches 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top-track-speed of
187 mph.
