Strength

| The new 911 Carrera S
Its identity emerged on the racetrack.
Its home is on the road.

The new 911 Carrera S.
Nothing defines us more than our heritage.
It says a lot about who we are. This is
particularly true of the new 911 Carrera S,
which has all the characteristics you would
expect of a sports car whose origin is in
motorsport.
An elementary component of its DNA,
therefore, is power in the form of a 3.8-litre
engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus. It delivers 294 kW (400 hp)
at 7,400 rpm, and the maximum torque
of 440 Nm is achieved at 5,600 rpm. In
conjunction with the manual gearbox, the
sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) is
completed in just 4.5 seconds. Top speed
isn’t reached until 304 km/ h (188 mph).
On figures alone, the new 911 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency.
Fuel consumption and CO2 em issio ns
have been reduced by 15 % compared

with the previous model. This has been
possible thanks to the auto start /stop
function, which is available as standard,
and the coasting function in conjunction
with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK).
It ’s not difficult to tell where the
911 Carrera S comes from. You can hear
it in the resonant engine sound and you
can see it in the t win tailpipes in brushed
stainless steel and 20 - inch Carrera S
wheels. You can also feel it, thanks to Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
which is fit ted as standard, or the optional
PASM sports suspension with sport y

aerodynamics and the ride height lowered
by 20 mm. Or the optional Sport Chrono
Package and dynamic engine mounts.
Available as standard, Porsche Torque
Vectoring (PTV), or Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) in conjunction
with the optional PDK, increase traction.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),
the active roll stabilisation system, is
available as an option and improves agility,
comfort and safet y. On the subject of safet y, the brakes at
the front of the new 911 Carrera S come
equipped for the first time with monobloc
fixed calipers with six instead of four

pistons for improved braking performance
and a shorter braking distance. Bi-Xenon
headlights are standard and the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is available
as an option.
There is no doubt. The new 911 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them with
efficiency, power and sporty performance.

Control, discipline, precision.

At Porsche, we take driving pleasure very seriously.

Brakes.
Another crucial piece of the Porsche
identit y is the brakes. We value them as
highly as we do our engines and chassis.
They set standards for deceleration and
stabilit y, and give the driver the reassur -
ance needed to push the car to the limits
of its performance.
The 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera Cabriolet
are fit ted front and rear with anodised
black four-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers. All brake discs have a
diameter of 330 mm. On the 911 Carrera S models, we have
fit ted larger brakes and more brake pistons
to cope with the increased engine power
of these models. The new generation of
brakes features red six-piston monobloc
aluminium fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers at the rear. The brake
disc diameter is 340 mm at the front and
330 mm at the rear. The results are
enhanced braking performance and a
reduction in stopping distance compared
with that of the previous model.
On all models, the brake calipers have
an enclosed monobloc construction.
This makes them tougher but lighter and enables a more rapid response and
release of the brake even under extreme
loads. The pedal travel is short and

the biting point precise. The brake discs
are cross-drilled for better performance
in the wet.
Other benefits of the standard braking
system include the anti-lock braking
system (ABS), designed to keep decelera -
tion constant. Pedal effort is reduced and
braking response improved by a newly
developed 8-/9-inch tandem vacuum
brake booster. In the S models, brake disc
cooling is further enhanced by modified
air spoilers.

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.
