The Porsche 911 is an iconic sports car. It’s a vehicle comprised of Porsche passion, tradition and engineering. Throughout the years, the 911 has evolved but has kept its consistency as the greatest sports car ever created. Porsche has just set the standard even higher with the all-new 2017 Porsche 911.
On Friday, March 18th, we collaborated with Toys for Boys and hosted a private cocktail reception for the unveiling at the Rudolf Budja Gallery in Miami Beach. Transformed into an evolution of time for Porsche, guests experienced Porsche’s from every generation. Gleaming in white from start to finish were an array of six vintage Porsche’s ranging from 1972 to 2010. To match the evolution of time for Porsche, the entire gallery displayed Christopher Wool art depicting the evolution of life.
Guests sipped on the finest specialty cocktails provided by Glenlivet, noshed on delectable bites, danced to beats by DJ Danny Stern and anxiously awaited the reveal of Miami’s latest sports car: the Porsche 911. When the time finally arrived, the countdown began and the covers were pulled. The all-new 2017 Porsche 911 was unveiled in none other than Miami blue.
As the center of attention from that moment forward, all eyes were on the new 911. As it gleamed in Miami blue in the main gallery floor, the other all-new 911 was displayed in the back room for guests to fully experience.
It was a special night for a special car. Together with Toys for Boys we were able to unveil the 911 for the first time in Miami. The future of Porsche is only just beginning.

More about the Porsche 911:
The all-new top-of-the-line 911 models will be available in both coupe and convertible body styles and are equipped with engines offering 20 horsepower more than before, a sharper design, and enhanced features. The 3.8 liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine powering the 911 Turbo now develops 540 hp. The increase in horsepower is achieved through modified intake ports in the cylinder heads, new fuel injectors, and higher fuel pressure. The 911 Turbo S now makes 580 hp thanks to new turbochargers with larger impeller.
The engines now also have a dynamic boost function, which improves throttle response during spirited driving. As a result, the engine responds to changing throttle applications with practically no delay. The effects of this function are particularly pronounced in the Sport and Sport Plus modes.
The powertrain enhancements take the performance of the 911 Turbo models to even higher levels than before. The 911 Turbo S Coupe accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, making it 0.1 seconds faster than its predecessor. Its top track speed of 205 miles per hour has increased by 7 miles per hour. The 911 Turbo reaches 60 miles per hour from standstill in 2.9 seconds, and its top track speed is 198 miles per hour – 2 miles per hour faster than the previous model.
The Sport Chrono Package is now a standard feature on all 911 Turbo models. This includes the new GT sport steering wheel in 918 Spyder design measuring 360 mm or 14.1 inches in diameter and is equipped with a mode switch. It consists of a rotary ring with stepped positions that can be used to select one of the four-drivetrain modes Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, or Individual.
The Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system in the 911 Turbo models now features a new PSM Sport Mode. When the PSM button on the center console is pressed once, PSM Sport Mode is activated. This new mode shifts the PSM’s intervention to a higher threshold than was the case in Sport Plus mode on the previous model. PSM Sport Mode allows the driver to approach the limits of the car more closely, for example on a closed course.
The new generation of 911 Turbo adopts significant design characteristics of the 2017 911 Carrera models, supplemented by typical 911 Turbo special features. The redesigned front end with side air blades and narrow LED front lights with double fillets promote the width of the car, as does the additional fin in the central air intake. All models are also fitted with new 20-inch wheels. Just like on the 911 Carrera models, new door handles without recess covers give the car a sleeker look. The new models also feature redesigned dual tailpipes and exhaust tips.
As in all 2017 911 variants, the newly developed infotainment system, PCM with navigation, is standard. This system features a 7-inch multi-touch monitor with high-quality glass surface, which is perfectly integrated into the center console and offers numerous new and extended connectivity functions thanks to the standard Connect Plus module. Navigation can also access the latest online traffic information in real time — Google® StreetView.
