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.

| The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
Porsche 356, Porsche 550, Porsche Carrera GT:
openness has always been a Porsche tradition.

The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet.
Open ­top driving is integral to Porsche
history. It began back in 1948 with the
No. 1. The convertible variant of the
first 356 became a legend, as did its
descendent, the Porsche 550 Spyder.
In 1982, the first 911 Carrera model
in cabriolet form was introduced to the
road.
Two things that all open ­top Porsche
cars have in common are an
urge for
sport y acceleration and unlimited
driving
pleasure. The time has come to carry
this tradition on into the future. The
911 Carrera S Cabriolet does just that. That explains what motivates us, and

this describes what drives the car: the
3.8 ­litre engine with direct fuel injec ­
tion (DFI) and VarioCam Plus, which pro ­
duces 294 kW (400 hp) at 7,400 rpm.
The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet completes
the
sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just
4.7 s e c o n d s and reaches a top speed
of 187 mph.
These are impressive performance
figures, founded on the principle that, if
you want to keep moving, you shouldn’t
carry unnecessary weight. This is pre ­
cisely why the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
incorporates extensive use of lightweight
materials.
The hood has a crucial role in this respect.
On the 911, the hood has been funda­
mentally revised. Integrated magnesium
elements make the hood light yet extremely
robust. The hood opens and closes in
only 13 seconds and is operable up to a
speed of 31 mph. With the hood closed,
the car’s profile is optimised for aerody ­
namic performance, which explains the
low drag coefficient of 0.30. Wind noise
is practically eliminated.
The integrated wind deflector manipulates
headwind to create ideal conditions.
Electrically powered and installed directly
behind the passenger cell, it provides
effective protection against air turbulence.
Twin tailpipes in stainless steel also
make a clear statement. The 20 ­inch

Carrera S wheels afford an unobstructed
glimpse of the brake calipers with a
red painted finish. As you would expect,
the 911 Cabriolet offers a high level of
occupant safet y and features an effective
roll ­over protection concept as well as
full ­size airbags for the driver and front
p a s s e n g e r.
Without question, the 911 Carrera S
Cabriolet has remained faithful to the
sporty spirit of its predecessors and is
ensuring that the legacy lives on in the
21s t ce n t u r y.

Wheels.
The 911 Carrera models are equipped
with 19­inch Carrera wheels as standard.
These are light weight alloys featuring a
classic sport y design. Tyre sizes are
235/40 ZR 19 and 285/35 ZR 19 at the
front and rear, respectively. All ­wheel ­
drive models are fit ted with even wider
295/35 ZR 19 t yres at the rear. The S models are equipped with light
­
alloy 20­inch Carrera S wheels as
standard. The visual effect is sport y and
dynamic. The t yres are slightly wider
to cope with the increased power output
of these models: 245/35 ZR 20 at the
front, 295/30 ZR 20 at the rear. All ­wheel ­
drive models have 305/30 ZR 20 t yres
at the rear.
The large t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. Rolling
resistance, dry braking distances and t yre
weight are all comparatively low, thereby
helping to reduce fuel consumption.
A selection of 20 ­inch wheels is available
in our range of options.Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is avail­
able on request. This safet y system sends
warnings to the on ­board computer’s
display screen in the event of low t yre
pressure or a gradual or sudden loss
of pressure. The individual pressures
in all four t yres can be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the 911 Carrera models are
equipped with enhanced Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), which maintains sta ­
bilit y even at the limits of dynamic driving
performance. Sensors continuously moni­
tor the direction, speed, yaw velocit y and
lateral acceleration of the car. Using this
information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low ­grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti ­slip regulation (ASR).
When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving st yle.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,

for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of

driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an

apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit 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.

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.
