Let’s forget the future for a moment.
As we discover it in the present.

Engineering.
What use is the engineering of tomorrow
when it can be found on the road today?
None. So let ’s turn to the here and now.
The engines, as you would expect, are
characterised by six horizontally opposed
cylinders. The 3.4 ­litre engine in the
911 Carrera models produces 257 kW
(350 hp); in the 911 Carrera S models,
the 3.8 ­litre engine develops 294 kW
(400 hp). All variants are equipped with
direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam
Plus for increased power and compara ­
tively low fuel consumption. Power is transmit ted to the wheels by the
7
­speed manual gearbox with the highest
gear designed specifically with fuel econ ­
omy in mind or, optionally, by efficiency ­
enhanced Porsche Doppel kupplung (PDK),
which offers gear changes with no inter ­
ruption in the flow of power.
On the 911 Carrera all ­wheel ­drive
models, the enhanced Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) distributes the power
to the wheels according to weather and
road conditions. Handling is even more
poised, particularly when the car is being
driven to its limits. As a result, you are
safer not just in the wet and snow, but
also when adopting a sport y driving st yle.
The chassis is also packed with forward ­
looking technology. Fitted as standard
in the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera S
Cabriolet, Porsche Torque Vectoring
(PTV) increases dynamic performance.
Available as an option for the S models,
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
improves dynamic performance further
still. Dynamic engine mounts, available
as an option for all models, provide per ­
ceptibly more precise handling – and
not just when cornering.
The 911 has a light weight composite
construction in aluminium and steel.
Used extensively and in just the right
places, lightweight aluminium improves fuel economy and dynamic performance
and helps to achieve an excellent weight
to power ratio of 4.7 kg / kW (3.5 kg / hp)

for the 911 Carrera S, for example.
The future of the sports car begins now.

| 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.

| The 911 Carrera S
Its identity emerged on the racetrack.
Its home is on the road.

The 911 Carrera S.
Nothing defines us more than our heritage.
It says a lot about who we are. This is
particularly true of the 9 11 Carrera S,
which has all the characteristics you would
expect of a sports car whose origin is
in motorsport.
An elementary component of its DNA, there­
fore, is power in the form of a 3.8 ­litre
engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus. It delivers 294 kW (400 hp)
at 7,400 rpm, and the maximum torque

of 440 Nm is achieved at 5,600 rpm. In
conjunction with the manual gearbox, the
sprint from 0 to 62 mph is completed in
just 4.5 seconds. Top speed isn’t reached
until 188 mph.
On figures alone, the 9 11 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency.
Fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions
have been reduced by 15 % compared
with the previous model. This has been
possible thanks to the auto start /stop
function, which is available as standard,
and the coasting function in conjunction
with the optional Porsche Doppelkupp­
lung (PDK).
It ’s not difficult to tell where the
911 Carrera S comes from. You can
hear it in the resonant engine sound
and you can see it in the t win tailpipes
in brushed stainless steel and 20 ­inch
Carrera S wheels. You can also feel it, thanks to Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
which is fit ted as standard, or the optional
PASM sports suspension with even
sport­
ier aerodynamics and the ride height low ­
ered by 20 mm. Or the optional Sport
Chrono Package and dynamic engine
mounts. Available as standard, Porsche
Torque Vectoring (PTV), or Porsche
Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) in con ­
junction with the optional PDK, increase
traction and driving stability. Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), the ac ­
tive roll stabilisation system, is available
as an option and improves agilit y, com ­
fort and safet y. On the subject of safet y, the brakes at
the front of the 911 Carrera S come
equipped with monobloc fixed calipers
with six, instead of four, pistons for im
­
proved braking performance and a short ­
er braking distance. Bi ­Xenon headlights
are standard and the Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS) is available as an
option.
There is no doubt. The 9 11 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them with
efficiency, power and sporty performance.

“That can’t be done.”
If ever a sentence gave motivation to sports car designers, this is it.

Chassis and body.
A solid identit y tends to be described
with words like stability, directness or
substance. This might sound a lit tle
serious but, when it comes to the chassis
and body, we think that this is entirely
the right approach.
The best example is the engineered
design. Indeed, dynamic per formance
and ride comfort fundamentally depend
on factors such as vehicle weight, body
rigidity, wheelbase, axle construction
and steering. With the 911, we challenged
our engineers to push the boundaries
of what is possible. Chassis control systems make a key

contribution to the 911 driving experience
and thus to the 9 11 i d e n t i t y. T h e s e
include Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM), which comes as
standard in the 911 Carrera S models,
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is additionally available as an option for
the
9 11 Carrera S models.
Yet, there is still scope for improvement
as far as sport y performance is

concerned. The optional Sport Chrono Package triggers an adrenaline rush

at the push of a but ton. Dynamic engine
mounts, until now exclusively reserved

for 911 GT and Turbo models, may not be
capable of breaking the laws of physics
but they do succeed in exploiting them

to their own advantage – and yours.

PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard in the 911 Carrera S
models and available as an option for
the 911 Carrera models. It actively and
continuously regulates damping forces
according to driving st yle and road
conditions. In addition, the suspension
is lowered by 10 mm.
PASM has t wo modes, which can be
selected using a separate but ton on
the centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a
blend of performance and comfort, and
‘Sport ’ where the setup is much firmer. Sensors record the body movements

that accompany powerful acceleration,
braking or uneven road surfaces. In the
911, the number of sensors has been
increased for improved data acquisition
and even more ef ficient control interven­
tions. The PASM control unit evaluates
the driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode.
In ‘Sport ’ mode, the suspension is set to
a harder damper rating. On uneven roads,
PASM immediately switches to a softer
rating, thereby improving contact between
the wheels and the road. When the road
surface improves, PASM automatically
reverts to the original, harder rating. If
‘Normal’ mode is selected and the driver’s
st yle becomes more assertive, PASM
automatically switches to a harder rating.
Damping firms up, and driving stability
and road safet y are increased.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.
No need to let the laws of physics
spoil your fun.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).PASM sports suspension.
The PASM sports suspension is available
as an option for the 911 Carrera Coupé
models in conjunction with 20 ­inch wheels
and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) or
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The ride height is 20 mm lower than

with the standard suspension or 10 mm
compared with the PASM suspension.
The springs are harder and shorter, and
the anti ­roll bars on the front and rear
axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip has
a more sport y geometry, the rear spoiler extends even further. These not only

further reduce lift at the front axle, but
also provide downforce at the rear axle
for improved aerodynamics and even
better performance.

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

Attack the corners.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PT V Plus, it is regulated electronically and
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
and turn.
