Porsche 911 Carrera wins "Golden Steering Wheel 2011"

MANILA, Philippines - 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.
