«Breaking News» New Porsche 911 tells owners how to 'offset' their carbon footprint 

For a car that can do 0 to 62mph in under four seconds and hit 190mph, the new Porsche 911 is at least trying to have an environmental conscience.


Porsche's latest incarnation of its legendary 911 will tell owners how much their driving is harming the planet - and allow them to pay to 'offset' the damage by planting trees.


Buyers may find that the perfect antidote to a guilt trip car that will cost from £93,000 and the feature was revealed alongside the new eighth generation Porsche 911 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.




The planet-saving feature is novel but the new Porsche 911's looks mean it's hard to tell the ‘992’ model from versions that came before it

The German car firm's new high-tech system will inform drivers how much carbon dioxide is being produced and then tell them how much they should pay to plant trees to compensate for adding to the greenhouse gas blamed for global warming.


While the planet-saving feature might be a totally novel characteristic of the iconic German sports car, the looks remain so trademark that it’s difficult to tell the new eco-warrior ‘992’ model from versions that came before it. 


The new car is slightly larger and heavier than its predecessor but can outrun it in a drag race thanks to a few tenths of a second being shaved off the 0 to 62mph time.

Each car sold in the UK will come equipped with the web-based emissions estimator called Porsche Impact, which measures the effect on the environment by calculating how much CO2 you emit while driving.


It then calculates how much you should pay ‘to neutralise your individual carbon footprint’, Porsche said during the reveal in LA.


The Stuttgart manufacturer added: It estimates the financial contributions that Porsche customers can pay to offset their CO2 footprint.


‘They themselves can choose the internationally certified climate projects in which to invest.


‘The projects available are spread out all over the world and focus on biodiversity, hydro and solar power, as well as forest protection.’

Porsche added: ‘Emissions estimator is an online tool that will roll out globally and is aimed at enabling owners to check the stats of the type of car they own.


‘It is voluntary whether or not they follow through, but fits as part of our long established, wider sustainability programme that includes elimination and minimisation of CO2 in our manufacturing and production processes, the design of the cars and overall corporate ethos.’


Other new features include the Porsche Road Trip.


The app helps petrol heads plan, organise and navigate their way on special road trips.


The routes it offers takes enthusiasts via Porsche-recommended exclusive hotels and restaurants as well as points of interest and viewpoints along the way.

The first 911s to arrive in the UK will be the rear wheel drive Carrera S and the all wheel drive Carrera 4S - costing from £93,000

But while these additions might offer a new dimension to the 911, the look and performance are predictably evolutionary, in-keeping with the German car firm’s conservative philosophy when it comes to its flagship model.


It hasn’t helped that images and footage of the eighth-gen 911 have been circulating for the last few month. In fact, there have already been enough leaks to sink the Titanic.


Officially announcing the car on the eve of the LA show, Porsche said the new 992 model number 911 is ‘more powerful, dynamic and digital’ and ‘continues to set the standard when it comes to exclusive sporting performance’.


It’s also more expensive that before, but the premium takes into account new safety and assistance aids to cope with ‘the increasing demands of the digital world’.


First into UK showrooms will be the 911 Carrera S Coupé costing from £93,110 and the 911 Carrera 4S Coupé from £98,418.


They are powered by enhanced 3.0-litre turbocharged flat-six-cylinder engines which produce 450 horsepower - an increase of 30 horsepower over the previous mode.


Each will come with an eight-speed automatic PDK dual-clutch gearbox rather than the traditionalists’ favoured manual transmission – though that will be available on variants released next year.




Porsche said that inside the new 911 takes cues from its classic predecessors, but it comes, of course, with an uprated digital package for drivers

Both launch models accelerate from rest to 62mph in less than four seconds.


While the rear-wheel drive 911 Carerra S Coupé achieves this benchmark in 3.7 seconds, it is out-dragged by the punchier Carrera 4S thanks to its all-wheel-drive system that helps to fractionally trim the time to 3.6 seconds.


But in each case both cars are 0.4 seconds faster than the previous models they replace. This acceleration advantage is increased by a further 0.2 seconds when fitted with the optional Sport Chrono Package.


Top speeds are now 191mph for the 911 Carrera S and 190mph for 4S version.


Average fuel consumption for the 911 Carrera S is 31.7mpg with CO2 emissions of 205 g/km, compared to 31.4mpg and 206g/km for the Carrera 4 S.


As well as being marginally more potent, the 911 has also made dimensional gains.


The new car is 20mm longer, 2mm taller and 50kg heavier than its predecessor.


The weight gain is down largely to the new gearbox, 21-inch diameter rear wheels, a wider body and a new body structure reflecting latest safety legislation.


Exterior-wise, Porsche points to a more muscular stance, with wider wheel housings arching over the 20-inch diameter front wheels and fractionally larger rear alloys.


A spokesman said: ‘The rear shoulders of the car are now the same width across all models, further highlighting the slimline centre section.


‘The entire outer skin of the body is now made from aluminium, apart from the front and rear sections.’




One thing buyers of the new 911 can expect is Porsche's famous attention to detail, which includes small touches such as artfully designed headlamps

There are other hidden design tweaks, including the newly integrated electric pop-out door handles that lie flush in the bodywork to emphasise the tapered and smooth contours of the iconic sports car.

Up front, a bonnet with a pronounced recess has been incorporated to evoke the design of the first 911 generations.


The rear is dominated on all models by the significantly wider, variable-position spoiler.


Beneath the spoiler lip and spanning the width of the car is a seamless light bar, a now familiar element of the Porsche design language, and pronounced twin exhaust outlets.


Inside, the completely new interior takes its inspiration from 911 models of the 1970s - characterised by the fascia’s clear and straight lines and recessed instruments.


The dashboard has a 10.9-inch centre screen and alongside the central rev counter two thin, frameless displays supply further information to the driver.


A compact switch unit with five buttons gives the driver direct access to the vehicle’s primary functions.


Porsche said more engines will be added to the range in 2019, including a crop of 3.8-litre petrols and a plug-in hybrid – which will be a first for the 911.


In total, the German car maker says there will be up to 24 variants of the eighth-generation 911, including cabriolets.


Racing drive Mark Webber – who drives for the factory Porsche team - and Hollywood actor James Marsden were among the stars who attended the Los Angeles launch event on Tuesday evening.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
