This sums it all up !!!!

Read the below quote >>>>


"With its softer soundtrack and added assistance systems, the 911 will appeal to a wider set of buyers. On the track, it should do at least as well as its predecessor. But the general trend is undeniable: Purity makes way for digital enhancement."

^^^ Very telling quote .. ^^^

"While top speed remains unchanged and the factorys acceleration figures drop by 0.1 second, the sound-enhanced engine exhibits different driving characteristics. Zollter reports that acceleration drops off beyond 5000 rpm, and if the driver wants to use the tail to help steer the car, boost pressure must be kept up meticulously."



"The big news, of course, is under the engine cover: In the interest of efficiency and to fall into a more favorable tax bracket in China, Porsche has downsized the Carreras 3.4-liter engine and the 3.8-liter unit in the Carrera S to 3.0 liters. Thanks to turbocharging, however, output grows from 350 to 370 horsepower, and from 400 to 420 horsepower (Carrera and Carrera S, respectively). Maximum torque rises to 369 lb-ft, available from 1700 rpm. According to Porsches August Achleitner, the low-rpm torque peak means that it is far less often necessary to shift out of the manual transmissions ultratall seventh gear. Fuel economy in the notoriously optimistic European cycle increases to 33.6 mpg; it was previously rated at 29.4 mpg in the standard Carrera."
