porsche 911 seats Q&A Review
Why does Porsche continue to make back seats for its 911 series? What purpose do they serve when there is no leg room?
Apparently, the person asking the question has forgotten that people start off as children. It is possible to fit smaller children in the back of a 911. In fact, I have an older air cooled 911, which is quite a bit smaller than the newer ones, and I regularly had my daughter in the back up until she hit 10 years old. There’s also not “no” legroom unless the front seats are all the way back. 911s have very long seat tracks and even at 6′1″, I slide the driver’s seat forward from its rear most position. Further, those rear seats fold down to form a cargo shelf. Between that area and the frunk, 911s have quite a bit of cargo capacity compared to their competition. I’ve packed mine for camping and that included a tent, sleeping bags, air mattresses, cooler, a milk crate of other stuff and even some firewood.
Would Porsche ever consider making a 911 hatchback or estate, with the flat 6 engine tucked under the floor or the second row of seats?
They pretty much already have. I doubt they will get much closer than this just because it wouldn’t make sense to make another car so similar to this one.
Why does Porsche feel the need to make the 911 with back seats? No adult with legs can sit back there and by making it a two-seater it would seem more fitting.
Porsche do this as an extension to your customer history, when starting a family. The 4 seats are defines as a 2+2 Thats 2 adults and 2 children. You start with a 911 GT3 2 seater and take it to the track for track days with the Porsche club. Get married start a family and buy a 911 2+2 seater for you children. You buy a Cayenne for the wife to cart around the kids when they get older and to do the shopping. Ultimately you end up with a 911 Turbo S and enjoy your later life accumulating speeding tickets.
What luxury features does a Porsche have?
Porsche offers the luxury of going really fast and looking good while doing it. On a base Cayman/Boxster/Porsche 911 – you’ll find bare bone amounts of luxury. Things like leather seats, a beautiful clutch, and a basic infotainment system are standard. But Porsche is inherently a ,sports car,, not a, ,luxury car. If you want luxury, you’ll have to toss in thousands more for upgrades or look towards the Porsche Panamera sedans. Porsche offers everything from back up cameras, heated seats, adaptive air suspension, lane assist, beautiful Burmeister sound systems, sports packages, and seats that can adjust a zillion-ways. Porsche also offers you a premium experience when you’re at the dealership or needing work done on your car. But luxury takes a backseat to sportiness. You’ll find oodles more of luxury in other brands who specialize in that.
Why did you choose to buy the Porsche 911?
Why did I buy a Porsche 911? As a simple answer, it is the best car by far. Why can I generalize and be sure so easily? Well, it may not be the fastest car in a straight line (Wait, the 992 Turbo S can do the 1/4 mile in less than 10 seconds) and it may not be the fastest car around the track (Now that I think about it… The 911 991.2 GT2 RS MR has the (production car) record around the Nurburgring Nordschleife and has not been beaten) but it sure is an amazing car, and here is why: Having been a Porsche enthusiast (after being an enthusiast of other brands, such as McLaren and Lamborghini) I have found that Porsche is in its own segment. The first time I hopped on a Porsche was a 2009 911 Carrera 4S Cabrio. My uncle is an expert at the track and had been participating in many of Porsche’s track events. He had told me that he “knew” how to drive fast around a track… and so he did. While in the 4S, I realized how wicked fast the car was, how comfortable it was, and what Porsche represented. (,< PorscheMania.it > Il portale del porschista ! [ SITO NON UFFICIALE ],) I could talk all day, but these are the main points that make a 911 stand out over all of its competitors. How fast 911’s are: 911’s have always been fast. If the base-Carrera model is fast, imagine the top of the game… and that is what I will discuss. (Porsche) This is the Porsche 911 991.2 GT2 RS. Its small (against Lamborghini’s 6.5 V12) 3.8-liter flat-six engine that cranks out 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque might not seem impressive until you hear the numbers: Less than 2.6 seconds from 0–60 MPH, Less than 8.6 seconds from 0–120 MPH, and less than 18 seconds from 0–180 MPH. As a reference, a Bugatti Chiron valued at around 3 million dollars does the 0-180 MPH sprint at around 15 seconds. This Porsche will beat 99.9% of your rivals at a track or a straight. It does the 1/4 mile in less than 10.3 seconds and is the Nurburgring track record holder (with the MR Package) above thousands of other cars. But, why did I say 99.9% and not all? Not to generalize, but because of crazy tuned ricers and the new 2021 Porsche 911 992 Turbo S. This is the new 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S. (Motor1 and NetCarShow) With ,650 HP, and the same 3.8 Twin-turbocharged 6 cylinder engine as the GT2 Rs (yes, 50 HP less) this thing has done a 0–60 MPH sprint in less than 2.3 seconds according to various owners and youtube videos. As another reference, The Bugatti Centodiecci (valued at more than 9 million dollars) does a 0–60 MPH time in 2.4 seconds (with a perfect launch, obviously). This is ,Cristiano Ronaldo’s Centodieci: (Parabrisas) As a fun fact, 911’s (with the Sport Chrono Package) even have a “,hyper speed” button,, like ,Batman, or other characters in movies. After you click it, the car will unleash hidden HP and make it go way faster… I am saying all of this because of a weekly experience. Sadly, it is not available in the GT2 Rs but it surely is a lot of fun when taking another 911 out, like a 991.2 Turbo (992’s aren’t available yet). Porsche’s Sport Response button (9tro) To compare, the 992 Turbo S’s initial price of 250,000 dollars. With this pocket rocket, you will ,crush, the Bugatti anywhere, being a car that is ,36 times cheaper. As a ,disclaimer,, I would choose the Bugatti ,any, day (if I had the money), I know its price will ,skyrocket,, I know there are less than 10 being made, and that a Bugatti is not comparable to a 992 Turbo S. But Porsche has made it comparable, at least in a 1/4 mile straight, or a ,track,. This was not a comparison of Porsche to Bugatti, they are totally ,different, segments and levels, but an analysis of what a 911 can do. After talking so much about performance, I will be brief. Not even an Infiniti QX86 feels as comfortable as a 911 on the road. Not even a BMW. If you choose the right seats in your 911 (go 18-way electric seats please) and not get carbon bucket seats (not that comfortable…) it can be easily daily driven. I could talk about the 911 all day, but I think that what I’ve said is too much, so I will just make some bullet points. Best car to have as a daily driver and a track pocket-rocket at the same time Not a gas-vaccum. Does very nice KM/L (or M/G) Does not call that much attention, so you will be driving comfortably without everyone looking at you (depending on the color of the 911 90% of the time) Porsche is such a nice brand. From the moment that you enter the dealership and leave, you feel welcomed. Sales mans and service people are really kind and brand enthusiasts. Also, as a note, service mans will always help you in case of a problem with the car. They will go for the best alternative so you don’t spend unnecessary money. I could go all day, but I hope this response was helpful. I just checked the clock and saw how much time went by… I hope I inspire other people to become 911 owners too… As a tip, get in the look-out for the new 2021 or 2022 Porsche 718 GT4 RS. It may not be a 911, but it will have the GT3 RS’s “heart”, and that is something new to the world…
Why do Porsche 911's have that ridiculous, phony, un-usable back seat?
The insurance companies don’t care if it’s useful, just that they are there so that the Porsche isn’t a two seater. (… and in my younger days, i actually did sit in those seats for a quick trip with a friend and his wife, it wasn’t all That terrible.)
Which Porsche cars are called the widow makers and why?
Widowmaker was originally applied to the early 930s Easily identifiable by the vestigal “whale tale” which fully shows the original contours of the deck lid, and angled back like the earlier Carrera ducktail (but much bigger) and has no room for the intercooler found in the later 930s. This was a homologation car, the road-going groundwork for the Group 4 934 (homologated in Dec 1975, off of the ’76 930) It was not designed as a street car. It had exactly the minimal intersection of street car parts and race car parts (including dog engagement brake rotors and swing-away calipers based on the 917, for super quick rotor changes in long enduros). And that left some… interesting handling characteristics. Much like helicopters, which are in point of fact trying to kill you any time the engine is running, the early 930 was an incredibly frequent flyer in collisions, of a particular sort. Most of them hit fixed objects, at a high speed, going backwards. Huh? Well…. for experienced Porsche pilots, not a giant mystery. The dynamics of the early cars were highly biased towards lift throttle oversteer. Once you knew how to handle it, it was magic, and let you carve several seconds a lap off your time. So, going into a corner, you’re under power, then you lift off power (and maybe brake) as you’re gently turning in…. and the back of the car magically starts to come around. For the adept, the art timing the brake point and the rate of deceleration so that the car is pointed at the exit just behind the apex, so you can hammer the throttle, causing the rotation to stop as you rocket out under fully power *exactly* on the line. If you don’t understand what the hell is happening, and worse, if you’ve mainly been driving “boaty” understeer prone American cars… you panic, and put on the brakes harder. Which accelerates the rotation. Which usually causes a panic in which you try to steer which also makes it worse, as you go ass-first into whatever solid object happens to have been adjacent to the outside of your turn. And even if you did understand… and thought you had “the hookup” on this… you didn’t. Because the huge, huge lag between dropping the hammer and literally anything happening back in engine-land. We’ve since figured out that it was lag in the Bosch CIS fuel injection but back then it was called “turbo lag”. And since you’d planned to catch the slide with power that never showed up, you, too, go off the road ass-first. And because you thought you knew what you were doing, you were often moving a lot faster than our pigeon in the first example. With some frequency the results were fatal. Widowmaker. I thought this was vastly overstated until I drove an unmolested example back to Texas from California once. By this time I had a ridiculous amount of 911 seat time, including later 930s, 934s and 935s. I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. I eventually adopted the 935 driving style of left foot braking, while keeping on the gas to hold the boost up. Which moved the car from super scary to incredibly fun.
If the Porsche 911 did not have rear seats and the wheelbase was shorter, and everything else was adjusted to accommodate this, how would this affect driving dynamics (even though comfort would decrease)?
It would be the Cayman/Boxster, arguably among the best and most fun to drive cars in the world. The only thing holding this pair back is the deliberate power restraint to keep them well below the 911 in price and performance.
Why would anyone buy a Porsche 911 when the new Corvette C8 is out?
Why would anyone buy a Porsche 911 ever? You could have asked this when the C7 Stingray launched. Or even when the C6 came out. Particularly you could have asked when any of the ZR1 models first came on the market. That’s a C7 ZR1, in Sebring Orange Tintcoat. But there is more to buying and owning a sports car than 0–60 and quarter-mile times. Many buyers of a 911 actually do want to drive them regularly and that’s where other factors come into play. Outside of the Braun razor being used as a shifter, this isn’t a bad place to spend time. If you’ve never driven a 911 (any generation over the last 60 years will do) the sightlines out of the car are quite amazing for a low-slung sports coupe and the handling is extraordinary. Comfortable leather seats, rear seats (you can fit 4 in a pinch), plenty of modern tech from the expected traction control and parking sensors to the curious front axle lift. But a C8 could/would/should handle just as well, no? Perhaps. But GM’s interior materials quality is also legendary - but for all the wrong reasons. Tacky plastics, 1970’s era buttons, interior panel gaps that you can fit your fingers in. That’s the C5 interior. Woof. This should not have been available in 1985 let alone 2004. That isn’t to say Corvettes are bad cars, they are engineered for a different purpose at a different price point. Big rip-roaring small-block V8 with a throaty exhaust, ultra-fat tires, rarely updated technology (leaf springs at the rear anyone?). This makes them easy to own and cost-effective to service, two big checks in the Vette’s favor. So while the C8 Corvette is the flash of the moment, and it may be a very compelling vehicle for many, there is something to the classic evolution and modern performance of the 911 that has been carefully tuned over 60+ years that lends it a special place in hearts of car enthusiasts - particularly those with bigger budgets or who know how to buy well in the used car market. For a car enthusiast, there is no right and wrong here, just choices. And that’s really the best thing to have.
Since the Porsche 911 GT2RS is rear-engine and RWD, why doesn't Porsche move the seat to the middle to improve weight distribution?
Because then it would not be a 911 - it would be something else. Even the more exotic 911 variants are street cars with varying levels of track readiness built in. I’m not sure about the GT2RS, but I know some of the older cars have had various components located on the passenger side to somewhat counter the offset off center driver weight.
