Beverly Hills Porsche invites you to join us for a very special night!
When you think of Porsche, you probably think legendary, high performance sports cars. Yet somehow it manages to be so much more than that. It is a car that can do all the things ordinary cars can do, but do them in a way that's anything but ordinary. A car that makes every day magical.
A few months back, we invited up and coming filmmakers across the U.S. to capture how they articulate that feeling of everyday magic. Please join us for an exclusive evening to celebrate the passion and the excitement behind the Porsche brand that the ten finalists have captured in their films, as well as announcing our contest winner. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served, and one lucky guest will win a day at the Porsche Sport Driving School- USA.

Micheal Mauer, Chief Designer at Porsche Design Studio talks about the all new Porsche 911 (Tp 991) In this video, Mauer highlights the evolved style of this iconic automobile. Coming soon to Los Angeles, the Porsche 911 Carrera S is now available for ordering at Beverly Hills Porsche.
The new Porsche 911 Carrera: Tradition meets modernity
Stuttgart.
At 48, the Porsche 911 Carrera is younger than ever: The completely
redesigned generation of the sports car icon is stepping into the
limelight with its flat, stretched silhouette, exciting contours and
precisely designed details, yet from the very first glance it remains
unmistakably a 911. True to the 911 tradition, the distinctive Porsche
design language with its tendons and muscles exudes power and elegance.
The
100 millimetre (~ 3.9 inches) longer wheelbase and reduced height
combined with the up to 20-inch wheels underpin the athletic appearance.
At the same time, the typical sports car compact exterior dimensions
were retained. Seen from the front, the eye is drawn to the 911's
trademark wide-arched wings. They emphasise the wider front track, so
that the new 911 Carrera models sit even more solidly on the road. The
remodelled exterior mirrors are accommodated on the upper edge of the
door and not as before on the mirror triangle. Not only is this
aerodynamically advantageous, it also emphasises the new design line and
visual impression of width.
The all-new, lightweight body is an
intelligent aluminium-steel construction. It is responsible for a
significant proportion of the weight reduction of up to 45 kilograms.
Combined with significantly greater rigidity. Aerodynamic optimisation
-- including a wider, variably extending rear spoiler -- enabled the new
911 Carrera's lift to be reduced yet further while retaining a very
good Cd value.
To complement the modern exterior design, the
Porsche designers created an interior, the architecture of which takes
its cue from the Porsche Carrera GT. The driver is now even more closely
integrated with the cockpit thanks to the centre console rising up to
the front with the high-mounted shift lever or gear selector located
especially close to the steering wheel in typical motorsport fashion.
Classic Porsche elements are also to be found inside, as they are on the
outside: the instrument cluster with five round instruments -- one of
them a high resolution multifunction screen, the central rev counter and
the ignition lock to the left of the steering wheel.
Setting the
standard in its class, as it has for generations, the new 911 Carrera
and Carrera S raise the performance and efficiency bar yet another
notch. All versions get by with significantly less than ten litres of
fuel per 100 kilometres (28 mpg imp.). Fuel consumption and emissions
are up to 16 per cent lower compared with its predecessor. Among other
things, this is achieved by systems and functions such as auto
start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, the
world's first seven-speed manual transmission and -- in conjunction with
the Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) -- sailing as it is called.
The new electro-mechanical power steering offers not only Porsche's
typical precision and feedback but also helps to increase efficiency and
reduce fuel-consumption.
For example, the 911 Carrera with the
new 350 hp (~ 257 kW) 3.4-litre boxer engine and optional PDK consumes a
mere 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres (~ 34 mpg imp.) based on the New
European Driving Cycle (NEDC) -- 1.6 l/100 km (~ 6 mpg imp.) less than
its predecessor. Also, at 194 g/km CO2, it is the first Porsche sports
car to make it below the 200 g/km mark. With the 911 Carrera S as well,
with its 3.8-litre boxer engine and what is now 400 hp (~ 294 kW), fuel
consumption when paired with the optional PDK is reduced by 14 per cent
or 1.5 l/100 km (~ 5 mpg imp.) to 8.7 l/100 km (~ 32 mpg imp.) despite
15 hp (~ 11 kW) more power. That equates to CO2 emissions of 205 g/km.
At
the same time there are performance improvements in both models. The
911 Carrera S with PDK manages to accelerate from nought to 100 km/h (~
62 mph) in 4.3 seconds. Pressing the Sport Plus button on the optional
Sport Chrono package cuts that to 4.1 seconds. The 911 Carrera with PDK
needs only 4.6 seconds (Sport Plus 4.4 seconds) to sprint from a
standing start to 100 km/h (~ 62 mph).
Michael Mauer, Director of Design at Porsche Studios
Michael Mauer, Head, Porsche Design Department - Mauer is responsible for
the design and styling of automotive and industrial products. He studied design
from 1982 to 1986 at the Polytechnic in Pforzheim, and from there secured his first
job in the Design area of Mercedes-Benz AG in Sindelfingen. In 1989 he was appointed
Design Project Leader for the Mercedes V Class models, and two years later was in
charge of design work for the first SLK model generation. In July 1995 the company
appointed him Head of Department and entrusted him with design responsibility for
it's A-Class, SLK and SL models.
In 1998 Michael Mauer moved to the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio in Tokyo
as General Manager, and was intensively involved in advanced development work on
various model lines. A year later, he was put in charge of Design at MCC Smart GmbH.
In June 2000 he went to the Sweedish Saab company as Executive Director Design, and
since March 2003 he has also been responsible for Advanced Design at General Motors Europe.

Dr. Porsche once said, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself."
This week Porsche launched a new web tool to help customers visualize their very own custom built Porsche. With the addition of the new Porsche Car Configurator to the Fitting Lounge available to Beverly Hills Porsche customers, ordering a new Porsche car becomes an exciting event.
Are you ready to build the sports car of your dreams?
Let the expert staff at Beverly Hills Porsche guide you through the process with our state of the art Fitting Lounge on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. To schedule a complimentary consultation call us at 888-863-3923.

Press Release: On the occasion of the world premiere of the new 911, Dr. Ing. h.c.
F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is setting new standards on the Internet as
well.
The Porsche Car Configurator enables every customer to design their own personal Porsche, view
it from all sides and against different backgrounds in full-screen mode
and order the configuration directly from the Porsche dealer.
Porsche is using a newly developed interactive 3D
animation for the Porsche Car Configurator so that the customer can
picture exactly what his/her new 911 will look like. This enables myriad
equipment details of the customised 911, such as a wood, aluminium or
leather finish, various sports seats or rims to be depicted in a
realistic way. A panoramic tour then enables you to feast your eyes on
your customised dream car from every angle.
But Porsche is offering a great deal more on the
Internet to accompany the launch of the new 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera
S. In addition to a 360-degree flight around the new 911, users can take
the wheel of the 911 for a virtual test drive and experience the
driving dynamics at first hand. While you’re on the move, an iPad and
iPhone app on the new 911 generation offers special sports car moments
and the catalog accompanying the new generation of the legendary
sports car is also available in a version optimized for the iPad.

For the first time, Porsche is challenging many Americans' perception of Porsche sports cars—and in particular the 911—in a new campaign launching today. The “Engineered for Magic. Everyday” campaign, via agency Cramer-Krasselt/Chicago, seeks to show the many dimensions of the iconic Porsche 911 and the brand’s other storied sports cars through the lens of daily driving.
“The magic of Porsche is how thoroughly the cars transform your everyday, routine driving,” said David Pryor, vice president of marketing, Porsche Cars North America. “It’s not only about the weekend joyride. It’s the only car in the world that combines true sports car exhilaration and the drivability for daily use. This campaign brings this fact to life, painting a bigger picture of the real Porsche value proposition, in some cases through the words and images of owners themselves.”
Spanning TV, print, online, mobile, direct mail and a cinema promotion, the campaign drives home the engineering genius that allows these coveted sports cars to be everyday drivers.
“When most people think of Porsche, they think ‘magic’—and the cars certainly are,” said Marshall Ross, chief creative officer, Cramer-Krasselt. ”What is markedly different about this campaign is we’re not selling the dream-car mystique of Porsche -- that’s already a given. The creative challenge here was to tell the truth of the drivability of the car and still make it feel as special as it really is.”
Debuting in selected markets tonight during the NCAA Tournament, the TV spot features vignettes of Porsche sports car owners in a number of seemingly everyday scenes: a parent picking up kids at school, a man running a home-improvement-store errand and a mom clearing away snow from the windshield each with titles re-characterizing the car as “school bus,” “pickup truck” and “snowmobile.” In another vignette, as a man fires up the engine after a long day at the office, we see how the car’s incredible, mood-shifting virtues—as his “getaway car”—complement the everyday ones. The closing voiceover says: “Engineered for Magic. Everyday.”
At the hub of the integrated campaign is a consumer-generated website— PorscheEveryday.com —where owners can share their own everyday stories. With a combination of professionally produced videos and images along with owner-submitted content, the site builds a mosaic showcasing the many ways a Porsche is engineered for everyday magic. For this effort, Porsche has once again reached out to its passionate and active loyalists and enthusiasts to participate and contribute to the story. Last month, to start things off, Porsche sent 200 Flip video cameras to select owners asking them to contribute videos. The brand has also invited input from all its owners, the Porsche Club of America, dealers and their customers, and the million-plus Facebook fans for everyday stories, photos and videos.
In partnership with the Reelz channel, Porsche will also invite amateur film-makers to submit films that demonstrate “daily magic.” Ten filmmakers will be selected to experience daily magic in a Porsche and then make a film about the experience. The winning submission will be shown in cinemas across the country—a first for Porsche—and on the Reelz channel.
