Engines
To give more and take less.
That’s Porsche engineering.

Engines.
You could ask whether the sports car is
still relevant. It would be a good question,
but you might as well ask the same of
dreams.
The answer to both questions lies in the
future or, to be more precise, in the future
of the sports car. In the 911, the future
is already here. The highly efficient, state ­
of­the ­art engines make a considerable
contribution to the comparatively low fuel
consumption, but their sound is still
unmistakably Porsche.
The 911 engines are also unmistakably
sport y thanks to the SPORT but ton fit ted
as st a n d a rd . At the push of a but ton, the engine be
­
comes tuned for a sharper response
and engine dynamics that are even more
direct.
The 3.4 ­litre engine of the 911 Carrera
models demonstrates, therefore, that
performance and efficiency need not be
mutually exclusive. Rather, the downsized
engine capacity and increased maximum
torque are the intelli
gent basis by which
power output can be increased in an
environmentally acceptable and sustain­
able way. Fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions have been reduced by up to
16 % compared with the previous model. In their search for improved efficiency,
our engineers analysed an extensive series
of engine components. Answers were
found, including rapid heating of the
engine and gearbox to normal operating
temperature after an engine start by the
thermal management system, improved
air induction and extremely effective
direct fuel injection (DFI).
The same principle applies to the 3.8 ­litre
engine in the 911 Carrera S models.
There has been no change in displace ­
ment since the previous model, but
po wer output has been increased while
fuel consumption has been reduced by
up to 15 %. Weight is critical to efficiency. This is

why the engines have a light­alloy
construction, making them lightweight
and yet structurally rigid. The result
is comparatively low fuel consumption
and a long service life.
The engine is the intelligent core of our
identit y. What else could the ‘Dr. Ing.’ in
our company name possibly stand for?

2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.

From the start, Porsche has been
synonymous with motorsport. Ever since
1948, when we found our identit y on
the racetrack, we have taken the experi ­
ence we have gained and applied it to
the road. The optional Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine example.
This brake system has already had to
cope with the harshest requirements of
Composure | Safet y
motor racing and is fit ted in cars that
compete in demanding events such as
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The cross ­drilled PCCB ceramic brake
discs for the 911 Carrera have a diame ­
ter of 350 mm front and rear for even
more formidable braking performance. What we’ve discovered from over 30,000 racing victories:
Brake later, finish sooner.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).The use of six ­piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers on the front axle and four ­
piston units at the rear – all finished in
yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race condi ­
tions. Excellent fade resistance ensures
greater balance when slowing from race ­
track speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the extreme ­
ly low weight of the ceramic brake
discs,
which are approximately 50 % lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating mass
­
es. The consequence of this is bet ter
road holding and increased comfort, par ­
ticularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agility and improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing, track
day use and other forms of performance
driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
brake pads and discs.
As with conventional high ­performance
braking systems, we recommend that
all brake components be professionally
inspected and replaced where necessary
after every track event.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.

The sound of a Porsche is a unique char­
acteristic, and we’re not referring only to
the engine. The optional BOSE
® Surround
Sound System was specially developed for
the 911 and is therefore perfectly tuned
to the car’s specific interior acoustics.
It has a total output of 445 wat ts and
comprises 8 amplifier channels, 12 loud ­
speakers and a patented integral 100 ­
watt active subwoofer. The combined
effect is a balanced acoustic pat tern that
transforms your 911 into a fast ­moving
concert hall.
In combination with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System enables audio playback of
DVDs and is thus able to make full use of
the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digi ­
tal recordings. Of course, you can still
play other audio sources, such as CDs and
MP3s, in stereo or, at the
push of a but­
ton, in one of the virtual surround modes
generated by BOSE
® Centerpoint® 2. The BOSE
®­
patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a micro ­
phone to continuously measure the
ambient noise inside the vehicle and
adapts music playback instantly and
automatically so that a consistent sound
is maintained – whatever the driving
conditions.
The result is a powerful sound and
captivating 360° acoustic experience.
Cue the applause.
When you are seeking a sporting challenge,
you need the right soundtrack.

Motorsport
GT sport.
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.
Porsche Carrera Cups.
From its beginnings as the fastest one ­
make championship in Germany, the
Porsche Carrera Cup has evolved into
a top ­class international event. Porsche
Carrera Cup championships are now
held in various countries throughout the
world, supporting prestigious race
meetings such as the DTM and, most
recently, the 24 Hours Nürburgring.
Alongside the Porsche Carrera Cup
Germany, first held over 20 years ago
in 1990, there are now a further
seven
Porsche Carrera Cup championships
in
France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Italy,
Japan, Asia and Australia. With races
taking place on virtually every weekend
in the motorsport calendar, these events
are witness to some impassioned close ­
quarters racing action where young guns
challenge seasoned campaigners, ama ­
teurs lock horns with professionals and
rookies go head ­to ­head with customer
drivers.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is the
most prestigious of the one ­make cham ­
pionships. Since 1993, it has been run
exclusively alongside the FIA Formula 1
World Championship and is the only
Gran Turismo race series. All participating
vehicles are run by professional race
teams who are permit ted to enter a mini ­
mum of t wo and a maximum of three cars.
The races, held mainly at European F1
Grand Prix, are run over a distance of
around 70 km. And for that entire dis ­
tance, the drivers – experienced players
and talented up ­and ­coming hopefuls
alike – give their absolute all, mindful
that success here could well lead on to
other challenges, such as a career in
GT sport.

www.porsche.de/motorsport
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.
GT3 Cup Challenges.
Providing drivers with a route into
semi ­professional motorsport, these
entry ­level races are held in Australia,
Brazil, Central Europe, Great Britain,
Japan, Scandinavia, Switzerland, the
USA, Canada and the Middle East.
Drivers require the relevant national
licence to compete in the races whose
regulations are based on those of the
Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.

1) May be incompatible with some copy ­protected CDs.2) Only in conjunction with PCM.3) Mobile phone preparation or telephone module in HFP mode: The use of a mobile phone inside a car may cause an increase in the interior electro­
magnetic field strength and, accordingly, in the electromagnetic radiation to which passengers are exposed. If a cradle is used to mount the
mobile phone, the field strength in the passenger compar tment can be reduced because your phone can be connected up to the external aerial
(feature depends on how specific mobile phones connect to the cradle). For information about the availabilit y of a cradle for your mobile phone,
please contact an independent accessories retailer. The use of the telephone module for PCM via Bluetooth
® SAP connection or with inserted
SIM card prevents exposure to electromagnetic radiation as only the car’s external aerial is ever used.
