The German car maker Porsche could reveal its biggest birthday
present to itself at the 2014 Frankfurt Motor Show. The present is
dubbed 911 Blu Edition and is considered to be the most environmentally
friendly 911.
The 911 special edition will
be offered in convertible version and will feature the PDK transmission
in standard. The body will be finished in Riviera Blue with Guards Red
on the intake trims, front splitter, mirror housings and roof.
The
roof was also replaced by one made from composite materials that
weights only 22 kilos. More than that, the German designers have come
with new 18 inch hollow spoke alloy wheels wrapped in special tires
signed by Michelin.
Under the hood, the Porsche 911 Blu Edition will feature a
revised 3.4 liter flat six unit that can deliver 300 horsepower, 50 HP
less than the standard version and 287 Nm peek of torque. In these
conditions, the sprint form stand still to 100 km/h is done in 5.4
seconds, while the top speed is clocked at 266 km/h.
The
German engineers also installed some new technological features. These
include an active grille shutter system, a stop/start function and an
alternator that disengages during normal conditions. The result is a
combined fuel consumption of 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers and 152 CO2
grams per kilometer.
