Development Porsche 911 - Winter Testing

The home straight for the new Porsche 911: the eighth generation of the sports car classic comes to European market at the beginning of 2019. In advance of this, the prototypes are revving up their engines again, to complete the final testing programme around the globe – putting the new sports cars under a great deal of stress. They are shuttling between climate zones with temperature differences of up to 85 degrees Celsius; sprinting across elevation changes spanning more than four kilometres; enduring traffic jams in major cities and setting new records on the racetracks. After all of this, every component of the car must function just as reliably as it did at the outset.
