Porsche 911 Black Edition
Porsche 911 Black Edition Limited addition coupe and cabriolet available in any colour you like, as long as it’s black.
Porsche is exploring its dark side with the 911 Black Edition. Only 1,911 examples wil be offered worldwide, and customers will be able to choose between coupe and convertible bodystyles.
The exterior is painted, you guessed it, black – but customers can choose between plain black as standard, or Basalt Black metallic available as an option. The Cabriolet’s hood is trimmed in black cloth, while 19-inch 911 Turbo II forged alloy wheels are fitted as standard. In addition, the brakes are clamped by black-finished, four-piston callipers.
Black Edition lettering on the stainless steel door entry guards identifies each car, and inside the colour theme continues with a black leather interior and instrument cluster. On the glove compartment lid, a badge confirms the limited production run, while to add a splash of contrast, the decorative fascia strip, gear lever and air vents are finished in aluminium-look paint.
Both Coupe and Cabriolet models are based on the standard Carrera. that means power comes from flat-six 3.6-litre engine with 340bhp. The Coupé reaches 62 mph from a standstill in 4.9 seconds and the Cabriolet takes 5.1 seconds. And if that doesn’t provide the soundtrack you’re looking for a 13-speaker BOSE Surround Sound-System is fitted as standard.
Also included on the Black Edition models is satellite navigation, an MP3 connection, ParkAssist, cruise control, automatic dimming anti-dazzle interior and exterior mirrors, and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.
The 911 Black Edition goes on sale in the UK from April 2011 and is priced from £67,270 for the Coupé and £74,958 for the Cabriolet – the same price as the standard 911 Carrera models.
