English to Italian: Porsche 911 - from the book "Legendary Cars" (Auto Leggendarie) Ed. WhiteStar Detailed field: Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Source text - English By the time the car entered production as a 1965 model, it had been renamed the 911 (Peugeot had registered the use of three-digit car names with zero as the middle number) and was powered by Porsche’s new six-cylinder, horizontally opposed and air-cooled “boxer” engine.
At just 1991 cubic centimeters, the six-cylinder had slightly less displacement than 1996-cc four-cylinder that powered Porsche’s racy 356 Carrera 2, but the new six generated nearly 140 horsepower and that figure grew to 180 for the 911S version in 1967, then hit 200 when the engine expanded to 2.2 liters in 1970.
The car also featured a five-speed manual transmission, new MacPherson front suspension with trailing arms at the rear, sharp ZF steering and four-wheel disc brakes.
Compared to the 356, the 911 rode on a wheelbase nearly four and a half inches (more than 11 centimeters) longer and was eight inches (more than 20 centimeters) longer overall. Slightly shorter and narrower than the 356, the 911 had a wider track.
Translation - Italian Quando l’auto entrò in produzione come modello del 1965 fu rinominata 911 (la Peugeot aveva depositato le combinazioni di numeri a tre cifre con lo zero nel mezzo per utilizzarle sulle proprie auto) ed era alimentata dal nuovo motore “boxer” a sei cilindri contrapposti orizzontalmente e raffreddamento ad aria della Porsche.
Con i suoi 1991 cc, il sei cilindri sviluppava leggermente meno potenza del 1996 cc a quattro cilindri, che alimentava l’auto da competizione 356 Carrera 2 della Porsche, ma il nuovo propulsore a sei generava quasi 140 cavalli, che aumentarono a 180 nelle versioni 911S del 1967, raggiungendo quota 200 quando il motore fu espanso a 2,2 litri nel 1970.
L’auto vantava anche un cambio manuale a cinque marce, le nuove sospensioni MacPherson sull’avantreno con trailing arms sul retro, il preciso sterzo ZF e i freni a disco sulle quattro ruote.
Paragonata alla 356 la 911 era dotata di un passo di oltre 11 cm più lungo e una lunghezza complessiva di oltre 20 cm. Leggermente più corta e stretta della 356, la 911 aveva una carreggiata più larga.

Source text - English Why the sea is so blue here
In colder climes, where lower-temperature seawater holds more dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients give rise to dense blooms of tiny plants (phytoplankton) that feed microscopic animals (zooplankton). This rich soup, the foundation of the ocean food chain, often makes chilly waters elsewhere appear murky. South Florida’s warm currents hold far lower concentrations of dissolved gases, making them inhospitable to plankton. The absence of suspended matter leaves nothing to filter out the intense blue light that results when sunlight falls on a crystalline sea.
Translation - Italian Perchè il mare qui è così azzurro
Nei climi più freddi, dove la minore temperatura dell’acqua di mare trattiene più ossigeno e anidride carbonica dissolti, le sostanze nutritive danno luogo a dense fioriture di minuscole piante (fitoplancton) che nutre microscopici animali (zooplacton). Questo ricco brodo, che è la base della catena alimentare dell’oceano, spesso fa apparire torbide le acque gelate degli altri luoghi. Le correnti calde della Florida meridionale contengono concentrazioni molto inferiori di gas dissolti, rendendole inospitali al plancton. L’assenza di materia sospesa non lascia niente che possa filtrare l’intensa luce blu che risulta quando la luce del sole ricade su un mare cristallino.
