00:30Frank, the 911, the icon of the brand, how big of a challenge was it for you to take it to the next level?
00:40It's always a huge challenge because we need to bridge the gap between shaping the future of the 911 and maintaining as much as possible of the unique DNA.
00:49Personally, I'm very excited to see what you've done.
00:52Here it is, the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet.
01:00It's a stunning car. Now, the first thing that strikes me when I look at the car, there's only one main headlight.
01:18And correct me if I'm wrong, no more side lights on the front bumper.
01:21Overall, on the front end, we are going for a more modern and cleaner look.
01:25The main highlight there is the new HD Matrix headlight.
01:30For the first time with one of our two-door sports cars, you can choose the HD Matrix headlights with 32,000 individually controlled LEDs.
01:39I'm a fan of this. The red light bar, it's new, right?
01:42Yes. The LED arc runs seamlessly from one side to the other without interruption.
01:50It seems bolder, wider to me and overall, yes, subtle, but important changes when it comes to the iconic design.
01:58The interior, it's modern, even a little futuristic.
02:02The first feature you can see is the new 12.6-inch curved digital display.
02:09You can choose from seven different screens. It's a complete new driver experience.
02:14And you know, I couldn't miss this, the start button. It's just like in the Porsche GT race cars.
02:19And of course, it's on the left side next to the steering wheel.
02:22And the mode switch comes as standard now even in the 911 Carrera.
02:27We're actually making a lot of features standard that used to be optional.
02:30But let's talk some numbers. I know a lot of people buy this car because of its performance.
02:35Yes. The flat-six twin-turbo engine is a little stronger than before.
02:39We've gone to 394 horses and 450 Nm of torque.
02:45And with more engine power, bigger brakes are useful. And so we increased the size of the discs.
02:52The 911 Carrera Cabriolet. It's an absolute highlight.
02:56New technologies have continuously defined the milestones of this iconic sports car.
