Post "911 Day."

September 11 was recently celebrated as "911 Day" on twitter.#911 Day."Many tweets were posted with the hashtag I was surprised that "911" is really loved by so many people. I suddenly had this question.

What is it about 911 that is so appealing...

I think I have a somewhat better understanding of the qualities and appeal of the Panamera than most people, but as for the 911, I don't know much about it...if at all.

So, to my husband.Do you record any shows that show what makes 911 so fascinating or something?"I asked.

Of course there is.

therefore(still laughing), ,Discovery ChannelHe told me about a program called "SUPERCAR SUPREBUILD," a 911 special on

I would like to share with you today some of the attractions of the 911 that were introduced in that article.

What is the appeal of 911?

The Discovery Channel's "SUPERCAR SUPREBUILD" is the current 911(Type 991)The program was aired at the time of the release of the later model of the 911, and it unraveled the fascination of the 911 through its history, manufacturing process, motor journalists' evaluations, and interviews with employees.

The story was told in it.Why the 911 has captured the hearts and minds of so many car enthusiasts."were four major ones.

(1) It's the car Porsche puts the most effort into.

Porsche, of course, puts a lot of effort into the development and manufacturing of all its models, but they have a special feeling about the 911.The 911 is the car that symbolized the Porsche brand, "When you think of Porsche, you think of 911.

Each new model is subjected to rigorous evaluation by fans and benchmarked in detail by other companies.If the "911" fails, Porsche's brand image will be severely damaged.That is why Porsche always introduces the 911 to the world with the best possible improvements and refinements.

Improving a car with the latest technology does not necessarily mean that the fans will like it, but Porsche has been brave enough to make big decisions in the past.

For example, theWhen the engine was changed from air-cooled to water-cooled.The pure Porsche fans criticized the car, and those around them rumored that the 911 had come to an end. However, when it was launched, the 911(5th generation 996 type)became the best-selling 911 model up to that time.

Also, the decision to transition the 911 from naturally aspirated (NA) to turbocharged at the time of 2016 was a decision that PorscheIt's a bigger step than going from air-cooled to water-cooled."He said it was.

A turbocharger increases power and improves fuel economy, but it also creates the risk of turbo lag.In order to create a 911 that is a turbo but does not feel like one, Porsche made a number of technical improvements.As a result, Porsche has successfully embodied "the latest 911 is the best 911.

(2) Rear engine

The rear engine is the most distinctive feature of the 911. When you drive it.The driver can experience interesting movements unique to the rear engine that cannot be felt in other cars.It is said that no other sports car better illustrates the principles of understeer and oversteer than the 911.

It is just not common sense to load the engine behind the rear axle. This is becauseWhen trying to turn a corner, if the center of gravity is at the very back, physics makes it difficult to handle and control the vehicle.From.

But the best part of driving a 911 is exactly this: the front wheels lose grip and the car doesn't turn when you steer, it goes straight ahead!Understeer."The back of the car wobbles and eventually spins out of control.Oversteer."The driver's ability to control these features is what makes driving a 911 so appealing.

Also, there's no engine in front of it.Very good long from the driver's seat and just the right pedal position for shifting.This is another advantage of rear-engine cars.

(iii) Made to perfection

Everyone in the manufacturing site.We make 911 to achieve perfection above and beyond perfection.With the correct number of screw turns, limited production time to keep the production line running, and hand-made precision, 30,000 911s are made each year. 30 hours are needed to make one.

4) Employees work with pride

911 is a tutti outside of Stuttgart, Germany.The cars are made at the factory in Fenhausen. Many of the successive 911s and new models were born here. In an interview with an employee working at the plantAs a resident of Stuttgart, it's an honor to be able to build a Porsche." "I work here not for the paycheck, but because the 911 is a special car."Everyone was talking about the event with great vigor.

Many employees who saw their fathers working at the Porsche factory when they were young dreamed of working for Porsche when they grew up, and many of them have actually joined the company.The pursuit of perfection has been passed down from generation to generation through the presence of these employees.

How would you rate the late 911 (991)?

Finally, I would like to discuss the evaluation of the late 911 (991).

Before its release, people said, "There is no such thing as a turbo model for all 911s." In fact, the handling quirks that make the 911 so appealing have been improved for a better driving experience, making it a more enjoyable sports car to drive. It is the best, most comfortable, most luxurious, and most refined "911" to date.

Wow...that's a glowing review. Well, it's a 911 special, so I guess the program won't give it such a bad review, but still, 911 is amazing~.

How will the new 911, which will be unveiled this fall, surpass the current 911, which has received the highest evaluation so far? Now that I know a little more about the 911, I am looking forward to the announcement of the new 911 even more!
