Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Available as an option for all 911 Carrera
models is 7­speed PDK, featuring manu ­
al and automatic modes. It facili
tates
extremely fast gear changes
with no
interruption in the flow of power, whilst at
the same time improving acceleration
and fuel efficiency. In total, PDK has seven gears at its dis
­
posal. Gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio
and top speed is reached in 6th gear.
7th
gear has a long ratio and helps to

reduce fuel consumption by keeping
engine revs low.
PDK is essentially t wo gearboxes in one
and thus requires t wo clutches. This
double ­clutch arrangement provides an
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
alternating, non ­positive connection
bet ween the t wo half gearboxes and the
engine by means of t wo separate input
shafts.
The flow of power from the engine is
transmit ted through one half gearbox and
one clutch at a time, while the next gear
is preselected in the second half gearbox. During a gear change, therefore, one
clutch simply opens and the other closes
at the same time, enabling gear changes
to take place within milliseconds.The effect is instant. Driving feels even
sportier and more dynamic, and agility

is increased. Depending on the gearshift
programme (SPORT button activated
Temperament | Transmission
or deactivated), the gear change is opti ­
mised for comfort or for sport y driving.
With the optional Sport Chrono Package,
PDK is enhanced by the ‘Launch Control’
and ‘motorsport ­derived gearshif t strategy’
functions (p. 67).
Coasting.
The ‘coasting’ function available with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables
you to save even more fuel where the
situation allows. The engine is decoupled
from the transmission to prevent deceler ­
ation caused by engine braking. In this
way, optimum use is made of the vehi ­
cle’s momentum, allowing it to coast for
longer distances.
For example, you may want to slow down
from 62 mph to 49 mph in anticipation
of the change of speed limit ahead. As
soon as you release the accelerator
pedal, PDK deselects the current gear auto
matically and you begin to coast
in neutral until you have reached your
desired speed. The moment you engage
the accelerator or brake pedal, PDK
selects the appropriate gear smoothly
and seamlessly within a fraction of a
second. In short, driving in coasting mode makes
a real impact on fuel consumption without
any need for compromise on comfort or
sporty performance.
Another way to reduce fuel consumption is
to utilise the coasting function on downhill
gradients that are gentle enough for you

to maintain a constant speed. Efficient on
long journeys, such as on the motorway,
PDK remains ready to respond as swiftly
and precisely as you would expect.

Electromechanical power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency
is a system that works only when it is
needed, and then does so in a particularly
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our
engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis
­
tics show that a car drives in a straight
line 90 % of the time. Unlike conventional
hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses
energy only when the steering wheel is
actually turned. The absence of hydraulic
fluid also makes the system more
bene ficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10 % is concerned, we’re
optimally prepared as the steering system
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable
steering ratio and responds sensitively
and directly at the same time as providing
customary agility, a high level of comfort
and precisely selected feedback from the
road. Our definition of efficient.Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the comfort ­enhancing
power steering system, is available as an
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible,
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer ­
ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds,
the
steering ratio of Power steering Plus
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.
SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the SPORT button
enables you to select a suspension setup
where the emphasis is on either comfort
or sport y performance. At the push of a
button, the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode and
the auto start/stop function are automati ­
cally deactivated. If fitted, the optional
sports exhaust system is also activated
automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available
as an option. This integrated system
provides simultaneous enhancement for
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop ­
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.

| Chassis and body
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the 911 Carrera S models,
optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) switch to a harder damping set
­
ting and offer more direct steering and,
therefore, better road holding.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger thresh­
old for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the car is
still in SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y, it
is set to intervene automatically only
when ABS assistance is required on both
the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional

functions for a sport y drive that borders
on a motorsport experience. The first

is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used on the track to achieve the best possible
standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport
­
derived gearshif t strategy’. Using this,
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared
up for extremely short shift times and
optimum shift points for the maximum acceleration available. This combination
of uncompromising and involving perfor
­
mance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with the
standard PCM, a special performance
display enables you to view, store and
evaluate lap times or other driving
times. It shows the total driving time,
lap distance, lap number and lap times
re c o rde d s o f a r.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package
borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic
engine mounts. These exploit the laws

of physics for your own driving pleasure.
Dynamic engine mounts.
You don’t have to take the 911 onto the
racetrack. But you can, more so than
ever, because dynamic engine mounts
are now included as part of the Sport
Chrono Package.
The electronically controlled system mini­
mises the oscillations and vibrations of the
entire drivetrain, especially the engine, and
combines the benefits of a hard or soft
engine mounting arrangement.
A hard engine mounting delivers optimum
dynamic performance because it offers
the highest degree of handling precision
possible. Soft engine mounts, on the
other hand, minimise oscillations and
vibrations. While comfort is improved on
uneven road surfaces, this comes at

the expense of dynamic performance.
Our engineers have solved this problem
by enabling the engine mounts to adapt
their stiffness and damping properties to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. This has been achieved by
use of a fluid with magnetic properties in
interaction with an electrically generated field. For the driver, the results are tangi
­
ble. Handling is perceptibly more stable
under load change conditions and in
fast corners. Whenever a less assertive
driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
engine mounts provide a higher level of
comfort.

PTV in conjunction with the manual gear­
box, or PT V Plus with Porsche Doppel ­
kupplung (PDK), are available as options
for the 911 Carrera models and standard
in the 9 11 Carrera S models. Both systems
actively enhance vehicle dynamics and
stability. Operating in conjunction with a
mechanical (PT V) or electronic (PT V Plus)
rear differential lock, they work by
braking the rear wheels as the situation
demands.
As a function of steering angle and steering
speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw
rate and vehicle speed, PT V and PT V Plus
are able to improve steering response

and steering precision by specific braking
of the right or left rear wheel. To be more precise, this means that when
the car is driven assertively into a corner,
moderate brake pressure is applied to the
inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater
amount of drive force is distributed to the
outside rear wheel, inducing an additional
rotational pulse (yaw movement) around
the vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in

a direct and sport y steering action as the
car enters the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and when accelerating out of corners,
the rear differential lock ensures greater
driving stability. With PTV, the differential
lock is regulated mechanically; with

the torque distribution is infinitely varia ­
ble. Whichever system is fit ted, it interacts
with Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM)
to improve driving stabilit y on a range of
surface conditions, including the wet and
snow.
For the driver, this means remarkable
stability, easier handling and outstanding
traction as well as greater agilit y at every
speed with precise steering and stable
load transfer characteristics. What else?
Unrivalled driving pleasure at every t wist

In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important inter face bet ween
the driver and the sports car. This is why
all available steering wheels feature a
high
­grip steering wheel rim in smooth ­
finish leather and offer outstanding ergo ­
nomics. A full ­size airbag is integrated as
st a n d a rd .SportDesign steering wheel.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel

is adjustable for both height and reach
and, thanks to its grip mouldings, it’s

in safe hands – even on the sportiest
of drives.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 40 mm for
height and up to 60 mm for reach.
The optional multifunction steering
wheel has four function but tons and t wo
thumbwheels for convenient operation of audio, telephone and navigation func
­
tions, TFT display and on ­board comput ­
er. On request, the steering wheel is avail ­
able in smooth ­finish leather, carbon or
mahogany.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the steering wheel also fea
­
tures a display above the airbag mo ­
dule
to inform you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control functions
have been activated.
SportDesign steering wheel
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshif t paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
lef t ­ and right ­hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right ­hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left ­hand paddle and PDK shifts down. When PDK has
been combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the left ­ and right­hand
spokes additionally feature a display
that tells you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control functions
have been activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as
an option for the sports steering wheel
and multifunction steering wheels. The
heating is operated by a but ton on the
rear of the lower steering wheel spoke.

Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche dem ­
onstrate that even high ­performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission val ­
ues 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, new cataly tic convert ­
ers developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitry con ­
trols and monitors each cylinder bank
separately. For each exhaust tract, oxy ­
gen 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 eco ­
logical reasons. This forms the basis for
achieving low fuel consumption values in
conjunction with outstanding perfor ­
mance.
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 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 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 pages 143/145.
