Porsche 911 Carrera wins "Golden
Steering Wheel 2011"
The seventh
generation of the 911 Carrera sports car classic by Dr. Ing. h.c. F.
Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has already won its first prize even before its
launch: the Porsche icon was awarded the prestigious “Golden Steering
Wheel 2011” by the world’s largest international reader jury. In the
sports car category the Porsche 911 won over readers from more than 20
countries in Springer Verlag’s pan-European reader poll.
Matthias Müller, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG, accepted the award at the
prize-giving in the Axel-Springer building in Berlin and said: “Every
new Porsche 911 is the best 911 there has ever been. We are glad that
the numerous readers throughout Europe share this assessment and have
awarded us the Golden Steering Wheel.”
For the “Golden Steering Wheel”
awards 50 million readers of BILD am Sonntag and of the European AUTO
BILD Group’s other titles were invited to vote for their favourites.
Porsche had previously won the prestigious award in 2000 with the 911
Turbo, in 2005 with the Carrera GT, in 2009 with the Panamera and in
2010 with the Cayenne.
