performance? We will help you to perfect your driving safet y as well as
your advanced skills and techniques

step by step.
Under the supervision of our experienced
Porsche instructors in your own car, or
in one provided by the Porsche Sport
Driving School, you can refine your ability
on ­road or off ­road, on international racetracks or on ice or snow. We will be
by your side from the start and, if it is
your aim, we will accompany you through
every training level on the way to obtain

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 pages 143/145.

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.

Personalisation
To stand out from the crowd,
you need to express individuality.

Personalisation options.
The standard specification of the 911
Carrera models may be second to none,
but Porsche still gives you the opportu­
nit y to customise your car to your own
taste and to give it the personalit y
needed to make it unmistakable.
A variet y of customisation options
are available for both the exterior and
the interior. We appreciate that nobody
knows bet ter than you how you wish to
express your identit y.
You will find more detailed information on
the following pages and in the separate
price list.
These are not the only ways to st yle
your
9 11 to your personal preference.
How about the personalisation of

your car at the factory through Porsche
Exclusive, or why not consider our

range of af termarket accessories from
Porsche Tequipment? You will find plenty
of inspiring ideas in all the relevant

catalogues and your Porsche Centre will
be happy to advise you.
There are many ways to explore your
own direction. The Porsche identit y will
never be given an order number, but
there is a number by which it will forever
be epitomised:
9 11.
