The most prominent change in new 911 can be seen in car mechanical specs as it now comes with a more powerful, flat-six turbo-petrol engine. A new driving tech along with some mechanical and technical upgrades are also evident in the new and quicker 911 while comparing it with its predecessor model (992 series).
