Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Derived from motorsport, PDK,
which is standard for 911 Turbo S
models and optional for 911 Turbo
models, achieves one thing
above all else: it provides the
perfect balance bet ween uncom -
promisingly dynamic performance
and exceptional levels of comfort.
It ’s purely about point of view.
The driver’s especially.
PDK, with both a manual and an
automatic mode, enables
extremely fast gear changes with
no interruption in the power flow.
For improved acceleration and significantly lower fuel consump
-
tion – without having to dispense
with the advantages of an auto -
matic.
The driver experiences a sportier,
even more dynamic drive with
more agilit y. Depending on driving
st yle, gear changes range from
exceptionally comfortable to
exceptionally sport y.
Manual gear changes are per -
formed using PDK’s ergono-
mically
designed gear lever or
alternatively, on the 911 Turbo
models, using the switches on
the three-spoke sports steering
wheel: nudge forwards to change
up, pull back to change down.
Fit ted as standard on 911 Turbo S
models and available as an option
for 911 Turbo models is the three-
spoke sports steering wheel
with gearshif t paddles, which is
also capable of operating PDK.
With its motorsport-derived gear -
shif t logic, you pull the right-hand
paddle to shift up and pull the
left-hand paddle to shift down.
PDK has been specially tuned
to the characteristics of the
911
Turbo models and the new
911 Turbo S models. It has seven
gears at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6
have a sports ratio, with the top
speed being reached in 6th gear.
The 7th gear has a long ratio and
helps to reduce fuel consumption
even further.
PDK is essentially t wo half-
gearboxes in one and thus
requires t wo clutches –
designed as a double wet
clutch transmission.
The principle is simple: the
transmission ensures that
the extraordinary engine
power isn’t manifested as a
blaze of noise and smoke.
Unless that’s what you really
want.
Calm. Storm. Which way
round is up to you.

Fuel consumption and recycling.
Intelligent light weight construction
is a fundamental aspect of design
at Porsche. For both economic
and ecological reasons. This forms
the basis for achieving low fuel
consumption values combined
with outstanding performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of cast aluminium
alloys, magnesium, plastics and
high-strength sheet steel, the
lat ter being much stronger and
lighter than conventional steel.
The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models consist of almost 20 %
lightweight alloys.
It is also ecological because all
materials used are carefully
selected. Only the latest, environ -
mentally sound components are
used. All light weight materials are
easily recyclable, while the variet y
of synthetic components has been
reduced. Recycled plastics are
used in all areas of the car where
they meet our exacting technical
requirements. To simplify process -ing, all materials are labelled for
separate recycling.
In short, approximately 95
% of
today’s 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models can be recycled.
Porsche primarily uses environmen -
tally friendly water-based paints.
All areas of the 911 Turbo and
911 Turbo S models are free from
asbestos, CFCs and components
manufactured using CFCs. Because
at Porsche, helping the environ -
ment doesn’t start at the end of a
vehicle’s life. It starts right at
the beginning at the planning and
development stages.Fuel.
The current 911 Turbo generation is
already compatible with fuels that
have an ethanol content of up to
10 %. A ‘biofuel’ made from naturally
replenishing materials, ethanol has
a positive impact on the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for its production also
absorb carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. Hydrocarbon emissions from the
fuel supply system are low,
achieved through a combination of
an active carbon filter and a
special fuel-tank coating. All fuel
lines are made from aluminium,
whilst those carrying vapours are
made from multi-layer plastic.
Noise.
The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models comply with all current
noise regulations – without resort
-
ing to engine encapsulation.
To achieve this, we’ve eliminated
noise at source: engine compo -nents are more rigid, moving
parts lighter and tolerances
reduced to a minimum. High-
efficiency silencers and resona -
tors in the intake system help
to reduce noise even further. For
the entire service life of the car.
