The recovery of the missing seats and the Infotainment System PCM, but both are available at no extra charge. The door panels have normally closed loops, the discs on the rear and in the rear are made of lightweight glass.

Because the power to weight ratio improved to 3.85 kilograms per HP and a shorter rear-axle-Translation plus a mechanical transverse lock on Board, sprints to the T in 4.5 seconds to 100 km/h. improving to the normal 911 Carrera: 0.1 seconds. Optionally, the PDK transmission is in the program, hereby the Zero-to-100-value at 4.2 seconds. Top? More than 290 km/h for both versions.

Pricing is for lovers
