expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y

is
sound. The Sound Package Plus offer
outstanding performance with a total
output of 235 watts. Available as an option
is the BOSE
® Surround Sound System
with a total output of 445 wat ts. In short,
it delivers authentic audio playback com -
bined with an impressive spatial sound.
No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the optional High-End Surround Sound System from
Burmester
®, the bespoke manufacturer
based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. With a total output of 821 watts,
it ensures an incredible audio experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional sound systems and also saves weight.

Words can barely describe the 911 experience.

Sound can.

Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound System.
When t wo iconic German manufacturers
join forces, the result is special. We’re
referring to Porsche and Berlin-based
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high-end audio equip -
ment worldwide, and the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System.
The technologies behind the system are
based on the finest premium home audio
systems Burmester
® has to offer.
The system owes its eminence to count -
less details, and one goal: perfection
in sound.
The system has 12 amplifier channels
with a total output of more than 821
watts, 12 loudspeakers including an
active subwoofer with 300 -wat t class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area
of more than 1,340 cm², and a frequency
response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.
For the first time in a 911, Burmester
®

has introduced the patented integral
subwoofer, which replaces the familiar
separate subwoofer and loudspeaker
arrangement of other systems. This saves
weight and has a beneficial impact on
acoustic performance.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from the
home audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined for
their new installation location and finely
tuned af ter extensive in - car audio testing. The t weeters are ribbon-based air motion
transformers (AMT) that have been
designed specifically for the 911. For
unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction with
excellent level stability. All loudspeaker
housings are perfectly matched and deliver
superior bass foundation, definition and
impulse accuracy. As yet unequalled

in the 911, the result is a natural and
richly textured spatial sound even at

top volume.
The pure, sport y design with galvanised
surrounds and Burmester
® logos on
selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
® High - End
Surround Sound System is as much about the visual as it is the audio.

Typically Porsche.
Cue the encore.

Motorsport
On the racetrack, we’re fiercely committed.
Not least to the future.

Motorsport.
How does one book one’s place in motor -
sport history? By finishing that crucial
one hundredth of a second faster than
the competition, or a whole lap ahead of
the rest of the field? Either way, victory is
sweet. At Porsche, however, one goal
mat ters above all: turning to the next
chapter and shaping the future of motor -
sport using intelligent technologies and
unconventional ideas with the incentive of
increased power output and enhanced
efficiency, as well as the abilit y to incor -
porate these innovations into cars engi -
neered for the road.918 RSR race laboratory.
How powerful can a hybrid be? How sus-
tainable can a racecar be? If hybrid sports
car
technology is to be taken seriously, we
believe it must prove its worth in the test -
ing environment of tomorrow – on the race-
track. The 918 RSR succeeds, lap after lap.
The drive system comprises a high-revving
combustion engine, two electric machines
on the front axle and enhanced fly wheel

energy storage derived from the
911 GT3 R Hybrid.
What did we wish to achieve? Extremely
high performance, of course, but we also
wanted a glimpse of the future. A lit tle bit
sooner and a lit tle bit faster.
911 GT3 R Hybrid.
It took a whole year’s work for just one
day: the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in
2010. With the 911 GT3 R Hybrid, our
engineers sent a 911 onto the track
equipped for the first time ever with
three drive units.
The principle is to recover unused kinetic
energy. Energy is stored by a fly wheel
accumulator that spins at up to 40,000
rpm. After braking, t wo electric motors
on the front axle enable the driver to
draw this power to boost acceleration out
of corners or for overtaking. In short: he
who brakes, wins. It is a principle that the 911 GT3 R Hybrid
brought to the front of the field at the
Nürburgring in 2010, where it remained
until the 23rd hour. Engine failure may
have forced it to retire from this particu
-
lar race, but this was not the end. The
911 GT3 R Hybrid since went on to
compete in major international endurance
trials in Day tona and Zhuhai and put
in an electrifying performance on the
Nürburgring in 2011.
To Porsche, winning is important, but
so is the victory of ideas. We achieve
this with Intelligent Performance.

GT-Sp o r t .
GT cars are pure-bred racing cars.
They must be based on road-registered
sports cars and modifications are
restricted to specific areas. In the early 1990s, Porsche was the

driving force behind the renaissance
of international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race-ready cars and supports private teams with

further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Whether it ’s in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the
ALMS, the International GT Open or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners.
Porsche one-make championships.
Porsche racing drivers are able to indulge
their passion for motorsport in 20
Porsche one-make championships on
5 continents. The philosophy is one of
equal opportunities and fairness through the use of technically identical racing
cars. The result is fiercely contested sprints of the highest standard.

Based directly on the 911 GT3 RS,
911 GT3 Cup cars compete in races
as part of high-level racing events. At each Porsche one-make championship,
Porsche supplies the cars to private teams
in race-ready condition and organises

the race series and provides support for
the drivers, teams and sponsors from
its trackside position.

Environment
Since 1963, we’ve defined the 911 in terms of sporty performance.
And we’ve scrutinised it daily for its efficiency-enhancing potential.

Porsche and the environment.
We’ve already spoken about our contribu -
tion to motorsport. To be more precise,
about our responsibility for the future of
motorsport. We meet this responsibility
with intelligent technology, unconventional
ideas and optimum performance.
Our approach to environmental protection
is no different. In an era of intensifying
debate about global climate change and
CO
2 emissions, every automotive manu -
facturer is asking what it has to offer
right now. Our answer has long been the
same: excellent performance at the
same time as greater efficiency. Porsche has managed to reduce fuel

consumption across all model ranges
by a double-digit percentage compared
with the respective previous model even
though performance has been increased.
This is made possible by an efficient
drive concept (e.g. DFI and VarioCam
Plus), lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.
The environmental management team
at the Porsche Development Centre
in Weissach aims to demonstrate a high
level of environmental responsibility. Here, technological developments are
carried out with environmental protection
in mind. The goal is to enhance perfor
-
mance – but, where possible, not at the
expense of the
environment. We achieve
this goal with
Intelligent Performance, as
epitomised
by the 911.

2 emissions please refer to page 129.

Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through
the use of fuel - ef ficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct fuel
injection, VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction
with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, newly developed
cataly tic converters provide ef ficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitr y
controls and monitors each cylinder bank
separately. For each exhaust tract,
oxygen sensors regulate the composition of the exhaust gas, while another Lambda
sensor on each cylinder bank monitors
pollutant conversion in the respective

cataly tic converter.

Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent light weight construction has
been fundamental to the Porsche identit y
since 1948, for both technical and
ecological reasons. This forms the basis
for achieving low fuel consumption
values in conjunction with outstanding
performance.
On the technical side, we use a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength sheet
steel. The materials used have been
selected for their ability to withstand
load, yet they are considerably lighter
than conventional steel.
On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. All synthetic
components are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its separa -
tion for recycling. The reduction in the
number of plastic variants helps to ensure
more ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements.
In short, the new 911 is around 95 %
recyclable.
In addition, Porsche uses a high propor -
tion of environmentally friendly water-
based paints. For us, environmental
protection does not begin at the end of
a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.

Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the new
911 – are designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to 10 %,
e.g. ‘E10’. Ethanol has a positive impact
on the CO
2 balance since the plants
grown for the production of this biofuel
also absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the
fuel system has been minimised thanks
in no small part to the active carbon filter
and the multilayered material from which
the fuel tank is made. All fuel lines are
made from multilayered plastic, steel or
aluminium.

2 emissions please refer to page 129.
