Exotic Car Rentals and the Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible S
Porsche's new 911 Carrera sports car is an all-wheel drive version of older open-top models. It is the perfect luxury car rental. It is more dynamic and muscular than previous versions because it has wider rear tires and the body is 1.7 inches wider. There is an electronic soft top on this luxury car rental that opens and closes in 20seconds, and can be deployed or retracted when the car is moving up to 30 miles an hour. The top is only 92 pounds, so it provides a lower center of gravity for the car and a higher degree of lateral dynamics.
For safety, this luxury car rental comes with the Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP). This features separate head and thorax airbags for the driver and passenger seats. There are also two full-size frontal airbags and three-point seat belt launch tensioners and belt force limiters for the front seats. In case of a rollover, there are two ultra-strong steel tubes in the A-pillars and two supplemental safety bars located behind the rear seats that automatically deploy.
The 911 Carrera luxury car rental has a 3.8-liter power plant that accelerates the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds and to a top speed of 179 miles per hour. The Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system is great. It detects that the driver has abruptly taken their foot off the accelerator and ?pre-fills? the brake calipers to help shorten the distance. It also has a hydraulic pump that works like an emergency brake assist to help the driver. The all-wheel drive system transfers between 5 and 40 percent of the driving force permanently to the front wheels. This gives excellent handling for this luxury car rental on curves, straight-line stability at high speeds, and improved traction on slippery roads.
Porsche Carrera Convertible Rentals
This is Porsche's is a mid-size convertible, making it perfect for touring New York City with a convertible car rental. Its inspiration comes from the 550 Spyders, with a mid-engine configuration set behind the driver and passenger. It has the great handling and performance of a Porsche, with a set-up perfect for driving. It can go from 0-62 miles/hour in 5.2 seconds. Even with the steering wheel in its lowest position the instruments are not blocked from view. Due to the position o the engine, this car offers two trunks with plenty of room for luggage. On chilly days, the electronically powered convertible roof can be opened or closed while the vehicle is in motion.

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S - Look for 385 hp and a 7-speed Dual-Clutch
PDK Transmission
The 911 continues to evolve, ever so slowly.
BY STEVE SILER, PHOTOGRAPHY BY GUY POREPP
April 2008
For some car companies, evolution involves making radical changes
at regular intervals to their products in order to maintain their
appeal. However, that's not the way it works at Porsche, whose notoriously
fast cars get updated at a notoriously glacial pace, at least in
terms of style, even while sometimes major advancements occur under
the skin.
Even so, the slight changes that will find their way to the iconic
Carrera within the next year or so are not so insignificant as to
make it past the watchful eye of our European spy photographers,
one of whom exasperated a Porsche test driver (who was stupid enough
to venture onto Germany's public roads in a future Carrera) by following
him about while snapping away.
Specifically, what he got was a pretty, blue, badge-less 2009 Carrera
S clearly showing off new quad-element HID headlamps nestled within
the Carrera's not-new ovoid surrounds. Beneath the familiar frog
eyes are enlarged air intakes into which the turn signals are integrated
(thankfully in a horizontal arrangement, as opposed to the fang-like
design on the 2008 Cayenne). A subtle lower lip extends from the
chin spoiler and continues all the way down the bodysides and into
the rear bumper. Said bumper has been revised to accommodate wider-set
tailpipes and, unfortunately, droopy Cayenne-style LED taillamps.
At least there will be a red bar running between the lights, a curious
favorite of Porschephiles.
The most notable mechanical change we expect in the 2009 911 is
increased horsepower and torque, thanks to direct injection. Sources
indicate the 3.6-liter 911 Carrera stands to get a 20-horsepower
and 15 foot-pound bump to 345 horsepower and 288 pound-feet. The
3.8-liter 911 Carrera S could get a 30-horsepower and 15 foot-pound
bump to 385 horsepower and 310 pound-feet. Even more interesting
is the almost certain availability of the long-awaited “PDK” seven-speed
dual-clutch sequential-manual transmission with launch control.
A limited-slip differential is purported to be standard on all-wheel-drive
911s and available on rear-drivers.
Rumors indicate an available touch-screen, hard-disk-based navigation
system with iPod and Bluetooth interfaces. From a German car company?
We’ll believe that when we see it. Our source indicates an on-sale
date of late September 2008.
