2010 PORSCHE 911 GTS engine oil

Engineering.
The new 911 Carrera GTS.
More power. Maximum torque is
reached earlier. An even faster
throt tle response and even
better acceleration. An even
sportier driving experience.
These are the most compelling
at tributes compared with the
911 Carrera S models.
The figures say it all. The upra­
ted 3.8­litre flat ­six engine with
direct fuel injection (DFI) now
delivers 300 kW (408 hp), 23 hp
more than the 911 Carrera S.
The Coupé model completes the
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) sprint
in 4.6 seconds, the Cabriolet in
4.8 seconds.
Yet, there has been no increase
in fuel consumption or emissions.

This is not a contradiction, but a
combination of dynamics and
efficiency, of sportiness and
ever yday practicalit y. In short, it
is our understanding of the
sportscar concept. We call it
Porsche Intelligent Per formance.
Increased per formance, with
ideas that drive us for ward –
a principle that also reflects
our approach to the chassis
and to safet y. Both models are
equipped as standard with
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) and

Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM). The optional Sport Chrono
Package Plus is the essence of
motorsport, of fering an even
more dynamic tuning of the
chassis and engine setup. In
conjunction with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
the Sport Chrono Package Plus
delivers a further improvement
in acceleration: 4.2 seconds

for the Coupé and 4.4 seconds
for the Cabriolet. Gear changes
take place in milliseconds,
with no interruption in the flow
of power. Together, this spells
911 Carrera GTS.
Design.
Three words are enough to
make a clear statement: athletic,

muscular, powerful. The look of
the new 911 Carrera GTS models
leaves no room for doubt. They
are models of clarit y.
Let ’s get straight to the detail,
beginning with the dynamically
accentuated cooling air intakes
in the front apron and the
additional spoiler lip with a
black painted finish. These are
distinctly sport y characteristics,
with components that have
been optimised in the Porsche
wind tunnel to improve aero ­
dynamic ef ficiency. On the sides
of the vehicle, black sideskirt
trims are a bold indication of
the performance in store. The rear end is just as expres
­
sive. Compared with the
911 Carrera S, the body is
44 mm wider at the rear axle
and the rear track has been
widened by 32 mm for greater
roll stabilit y and improved
turn ­in. The 911 Carrera GTS
models are fit ted with 19 ­inch
RS Spyder wheels featuring
a central locking device. Until
now, this racing wheel design
was exclusive to the 911 Turbo.
The black painted finish on
the centre spokes is also an
unmistakable reference to
motorsport, and a clear signal
of the driver’s racing mentalit y.

Integrated dry-sump
lubrication.
Integrated dry ­sump lubrication
ensures a reliable supply of oil
even when a sport y driving st yle
is adopted. It also has additional
cooling functions.
The oil tank is located in the
engine, thereby eliminating the
need for an external oil tank.
Four oil pumps remove the oil from the cylinder heads directly
into the oil sump. A fif th pump
in the oil sump directly supplies
the lubricating points in the
engine.
To prevent foaming, the oil is
channelled through cylinders
known as swirlpots. In this
way, optimum lubrication is
guaranteed at
all times. To reduce drive losses and
increase efficiency, an electronic
on
­demand oil pump is used.
This means that the oil pump
is operated at high power when
there is high demand and at
low power when there is low
demand.
The result is an optimised oil
supply appropriate to require ­
ments, lower fuel consumption
and reduced emissions.
Single ­jet piston spray nozzles
cool the piston crowns with oil
from the main lubrication circuit
– another detailed solution that
helps to reduce the thermal
load on the engine. For the engine, these detailed
solutions mean a consistent
supply of oil regardless of gravi
­
tational loads, even in the most
demanding track conditions.

Ignition system.
The ignition system is a static
high­voltage system. Each

individual spark plug has a

separate ignition coil, ensuring
excellent combustion every
time.
Engine cooling system.
DFI and VarioCam Plus enable a
tremendous amount of power to
be produced with comparatively
low emissions, fuel consumption
and noise. The same applies to
our ef ficient cross ­flow cooling
system, as used in motorsport.
Sports exhaust system.
If you want to be heard, it’s bet ­
ter to speak forcefully rather
than loudly.
The sports exhaust system
follows this principle. Fit ted as
standard in the 911 Carrera GTS
models, it makes the t ypical
Porsche sound even more pow ­
erful, even more resonant, and
even more sport y.
The sound varies with driving
behaviour, ranging from a robust output during normal driving to
a distinctly more aggressive
tone during per formance use.
The sports exhaust system is
activated using a but ton on the
centre console.
The look, like the acoustics, has
a clear accent. The tailpipes are
painted black on the outside,
and are polished on the inside.
They are also nanocoated,
which makes them particularly
easy to clean.
90-litre fuel tank.
To increase the distance that
your vehicle can cover on a
tank of fuel, an optional fuel
tank with a refill volume of
90 litres is available in place

of the 67 ­litre tank fit ted as
standard.
