Design 23
The rear encapsulates the heart of the
911:the engine. This is where it has
beenbeating ever since 1963. And
willcontinueto do so in the future.
However, the turbocharged drive train
ofthe new 911 Carrera models needs
alotof air to breathe.
That’s why, for the first time on a 911, the
slats of the rear lid grille are arranged
longitudinally. But where a lot of air comes
in, a lot of air must also be able to get out.
On the rear apron, this requirement is
fulfilled by the two side outlets for the
intercoolers.
Conspicuous, in the best sense of the
word, is how to describe the prominent,
three-dimensional LEDtaillights. The high-
level third brake light
is
integrateddirectly
above the slats of the rear lid grille.
New to the rear is the design of the
tailpipes in stainless steel. The central
tailpipes of the optional sport exhaust
system are derived from the 911 GT3. For
harmony of form, function and sound.
Sharp, sporty and timeless. The contouring
of the rear is even more clearly defined,
making it look wider, more sculpted and
more muscular. That’s our approach to the
theory of evolution.
