Strength
| The 911 Carrera
Meetings, conferences, business lunches.
How about some leisure in between?
The 911 Carrera.
In the 21st century, we find ourselves
caught bet ween all kinds of opposites on
a daily basis: bet ween the demands of
our work life and our private life, between
the real world and virtual realit y. How can
they all be reconciled? With a strong iden
tit y and a sports car that has incorporated
many contradictory notions since 1963.
Sportiness and everyday practicality
are a prime example. The 911 Carrera is
equipped as standard with direct fuel
injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus for high
power, high torque, efficient combustion
and, as a result, comparatively low fuel
consumption. Tradition and innovation blend seamlessly
together in the rear
mounted 3.4 litre
flat six engine thanks to its downsized
capacity. Despite the reduced displace
ment, the engine is capable of delivering
even more power to the road than its
3.6 litre predecessor.
The figures speak for themselves. The
maximum power of 257 kW (350 hp) is
available at 7,400 rpm and the maxi
mum torque of 390 Nm is generated at
5,600 rpm. Yet, in conjunction with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), fuel con
sumption and CO
2 emissions have been
reduced by 16 % compared with the pre
vious model. Even more impressively, the
car accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in
4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed
of 179 mph.
The 911 Carrera generates powerful
forces, which are transmit ted precisely
and directly to the wheels by the 7 speed
manual gearbox. As with the optional PDK,
gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio, while
7th gear has a long ratio for reduced fuel
consumption. The SPORT but ton, which
is fit ted as standard, makes it possible to
select an even more responsive engine
and transmission setup.
In terms of form and function, the single
tailpipes are especially imposing and emit a sound which is t ypically Porsche. The
19
inch Carrera wheels are fit ted as
standard and improve driving stability
and performance.
Sports car technology as standard, in
the form of black four piston monobloc
aluminium fixed calipers, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) and Bi Xenon head
lights, shows that sportiness and safety
are not mutually exclusive.
Sport, moderation, everyday practicality
and st yle. Four key themes, one unifying
concept: the 911 Carrera.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.

When you know your strengths,
it’s easy to acquire new ones.
The new 911 Carrera 4.
One thing is for certain. When it comes
to finding your own strengths, it always
helps to know who you are and where
you come from. Where the 911 is con
cerned, we call this Porsche identit y.
The immense power that is embodied in
this strong identit y is immediately apparent
in the new all wheel drive 911 Carrera 4.
Its enhanced Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) converts power directly into motion.
Not in a heav y handed way, but intelligently.
Sensors control the rotational speeds of
all four wheels, the vehicle’s lateral and
longitudinal acceleration and the steering
angle. In this way, the active all wheel drive can continually respond to different
driving situations and precisely distribute
drive forces bet ween the front and rear
axles. Tuned to provide even more poised
and balanced handling during performance
driving, PTM quickly and clearly
demon
strates, especially in the wet and snow,
what we at Porsche understand by traction.
Expressed in simple terms, the new
911 Carrera 4 is self assured. An assured
ness that has been assisted by engineer
ing and aesthetic details such as
the wider
body – the rear wings are 44 mm
wider
than those of the 911 Carrera – the
295 mm wide rear t yres, the special air intakes, the illuminated rear light strip
with taillights and parking light function,
and distinctive sideskirts.
One of its inherent strengths is, of course,
its engine: the 3.4 litre flat six power unit
delivers 257 kW (350 hp) at 7,400 rpm
and accelerates the new 911 Carrera 4
from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds.
Top speed is 177 mph. One strength may
possibly come as a surprise: by
downsiz
ing the engine, it has been possible to
reduce the fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions by up to 15 % compared with
the previous model.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.
Strength | The new 911 Carrera 4
Let ’s now bring the power of identit y
to bear on the road. With the aid of the
7 speed manual transmission or the
optional PDK. Both feature sports ratios
for gears 1 to 6 and a long ratio 7th
gear for fuel efficiency.
The 911 has many strengths. The new
911 Carrera 4, with its superlative traction,
dynamic performance and safet y, has
acquired even more. Why not take your
seat behind the wheel and make these
strengths your own?

Transmission
The long and winding road is where you’d like to be.
Sometimes, it pays to take the direct route.
Transmission.
The 7-speed manual gearbox.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shif t move
ments and an optimum transition from
one gear to the next. That ’s exactly what
you would expect of a Porsche manual
gearbox.
What you might not have expected is a
7 speed manual gearbox that combines
a high level of sport y performance with
an equally high level of efficiency and
offers extra comfort for longer journeys. It’s an exceptional innovation, and not
only in the sports car segment.
The design of this manual gearbox is
based in principle on that of Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). Gears 1 to 6 have
a sports ratio and top speed is reached
in 6th gear. The additional 7th gear, how
ever, has a long ratio, which reduces
torque and helps to reduce fuel consump
tion. Lower engine revs at fast driving
speeds also ensure a high level of com
fort
on long stretches of road. In addition
, a gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you actively conserve fuel.
Thanks to the elevated centre console,
the gear lever is within easy reach –
ideal for sport y gear changes.
Whether you select a sporty or comfortable
gear, the way you reach your destination
is in your own hands.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.

Composure
| Safet y
Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
With the hill
hold function, you can
pull away without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects when
the vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient requiring intervention.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The 911 Carrera models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending
on the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g.
frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort
to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair
of impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated not just sooner,
but with even greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models are
equipped as standard with the Porsche
Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side impact protection ele
ments in the doors and t wo airbags on each side. An integral thorax
airbag is
located in each seat side bolster,
while
the door panels each contain an upwards
inflating head airbag. Each thorax airbag
has a volume of 10 litres and each head
airbag 15 litres, ensuring excellent pro
tection in the event of a side impact.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera
Cabriolet models have exemplary torsional
rigidit y and flexural strength. Body flexing
is minimal, even on the most poorly sur
faced roads.
Increased protection is provided by an
automatically deploying roll over protec
tion system if the car were to overturn.
t wo springloaded roll over bars are
neatly incorporated behind the rear
seats. The roll over sensor continuously
monitors the car’s pitch and roll, contact
with the road, as well as lateral and
longitudinal forces. If the car were to
overturn, the roll over bars would be
deployed instantly.
