Porsche Service and Repair - Refreshing 2012 - Roselli Foreign Car Repair San Jose

It’s the details that distinguish the design of the new 2012 Porsche 911 from its predecessor. Even besides the extended wheelbase, if you pay attention to a few design tweaks around the car, you’ll have no problems seeing the difference between the old and new 911s. So the 2012 911 is slightly changed from the outgoing Porsche, but is it better?



Stretched headlights on the 2012 Porsche retain the oval shape that the outgoing car brought back to the 911 bodystyle. Front lower fascia tweaks include wider LED daytime running lights that are pulled toward the front wheels. The rear view mirrors on the 2012 911 are now mounted on the doors, leaving a cleaner windowline.

From the side, the 2012 Porsche 911′s altered proportions come into focus. The car appears longer and lower but, most would agree, still clearly a 911. Around back, there are plenty of changes, from the darkly colored rear diffuser to the thinner LED taillights. The engine cover’s opening no longer comes straight down from the rear windshield, while the bottom of the cover now lifts from the top of the taillights. Whereas the outgoing Porsche 911 kept it simple with badges, the new 911 gets a bit busy with badging.

Though Porsche hasn’t always been known for crafting high-quality interior, the new 2012 911 appears to be a better place in which to spend some time. A modernized instrument cluster sits to the left of redone air vents and a center console that, yes, resembles that of the Panamera sedan.
