991 Presentation México 2012

I bit late perhaps but I was holding the report to see if had a proper test drive to bring the whole lot of info, unfortunately that test drive never came so here is my report...

[porschepuebla.homestead.com]


So far I paired the 991 against a couple of 996TT including my own and the 991 proved hella fast!!! Even at Puebla's altitude of 2500 meters above sea level where aspirated cars los anwhere from 23 to 27% of their power and Turbos maybe only 5% the 991 was not only able to keep up with the 996TT but at times get ahead, amazing!!! no other Carrera has been able to do that and only GT3's keep up with 996TT's at this altitude, al that tech stuff really works in terms of speed.

Now some pics but really go to the report and enjoy the pics and video









also the new paints are amazingly deep and shiny... I hope you enjoy the report and also please add you opinions on the 991

Do you recall if the Cayenne Hybrid was Agate Grey Metallic, and if so, what's your opinion of the color?
I read somewhere that the side mirrors are now mounted to the doors so as to provide clear airflow past the front corners of the windows. This may not seem like much at first, but it makes a difference when it's raining: water no longer "puddles" in the lines of sight to the mirrors.

That Cayenne was some sort of brown in my opinion, but really, I can't tell exactly what color it was, sorry.

The miror issue makes sense, they do look good.

Agate Gray 991, inside and outside....sweet

Actually, quite an educational video, Gary. (Except he called the interior black.) Thanks for posting. My sales guy will have less to explain when I take delivery.

It sure didn't look like it but that car is listed on their website inventory with a black interior. Looks more like Agate Gray interior to me - but I suppose it could be lighting etc. Oddly, in the Boxster, the Agate Gray leather interior is a couple of grand cheaper than the black. I opted for the Agate Gray Leather - although the configuarator shows it as $430 dollars more - until you actually choose it - and it comes in cheaper by $2k.
