On the occasion of the Los Angeles Auto Show this week, Porsche presented its eighth-generation 911 model called “2020”, which shows improvements in interior design, vehicle performance and some intelligent functions adapted to new trends.
One of the most striking features in the presentation of the Porsche 911 2020 is the “wet” mode, which allows the driver to see water on the road. The system then prepares the vehicle’s controls and warns the user of potentially dangerous conditions of slipping.
According to a statement by the company, this system is the first in the world with these features, and drivers do not have to slow down the car, but simply press a button that configures the vehicle to ensure their safety.
In addition, the Porsche 911 2020 is the first in this series to feature a thermal imaging camera equipped with night vision assistance, which consists essentially of collision guidance, lane keeping on the road and adaptive crossover control. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with an independent assistant, which informs the user in an emergency of all worth knowing information about problems.
In the eighth-generation Porsche 911 cabin, users will find a much larger 10.9-inch touchscreen than in previous versions, providing a better viewing experience and contributing to a safer driving experience. In this sense, users receive a navigation map that is synchronized with every connection between the mobile phone and the Internet.
Porsche reported that their hybrid cars will not arrive this year. To compensate for this, the company announced the launch of the Porsche Impact App, which allows users to calculate their financial contribution to offsetting CO2 emissions. In addition, the first electric car will be launched next year. The Porsche 911 2020 will arrive at US dealerships in 2019 and have a value of 113,200 US dollars.
