911
A modestly revamped 911 line of coupes and Cabriolet convertibles debuts for 2005, and is highlighted by a number of engineering upgrades. For starters, the base 911 Carrera gets a slight boost in power, with its rear-mounted 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine now generating 325-horsepower and 274 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is claimed to be a sensory-overloading 177 mph. The Carrera S takes this performance up a notch with its 355-horsepower 3.8-liter engine, though it's speed-limited at the same 177 mph; it also incorporates a newly designed active suspension system. Meanwhile, a new 911 Turbo S is said to raise the output of its 3.6-liter powerplant up to 444 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Ceramic composite brakes and 18-inch alloy wheels and high-performance tires are also newly added to the Turbo S. In addition, the refreshed model range includes both a revised chassis, and a new six-speed-manual gearbox. Inside, aluminum gauge faces now grace a facelifted instrument panel.
