2012 Porsche 911 (991) official teaser [video]

High-value production captures the next-generation 911 as it undergoes testing in South Africa

Here's a teaser video from Porsche for the upcoming 2012 911 codenamed 991.

We get to see the new 911 in this high-value production as the model undergoes some testing amidst the enchanted landscapes of South Africa.

Just last month we reported some new details on the model which came from a leaked Car & Driver report as the magazine was covering the 911 development team in South Africa.

We'll re-list them for you here:

  • Carrera S to have 400 HP
  • Carrera to have 350 HP, share 3.4 liter engine with Boxster S
  • 2 transmissions: 7-speed manual and 7-speed PDK
  • Launch Control available on both transmissions
  • 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) wider, 4 inches (10.2 com) longer wheelbase
  • longer wheel base to accommodate HYBRID drivetrain in 2016 mid-cycle refresh
  • 12-15% improved fuel efficiency (European cycle)
  • electronic parking brake
  • full-length sunroof
  • 19-inch wheels standard on Carrera, 20-inch on Carrera S (20-inchers optional on Carrera)
  • Nürburgring lap time: 8:04 for 991, 7:50 for 991 S. "Best setup" in 7:37.
