The only alternative to power?
Even more power. In plain figures, we have managed to
increase power output from 294 kW
(400 hp) to 316 kW (430 hp) and improve
acceleration from 0 to 62 mph by
0.1 seconds. The 911 Carrera S models
with PDK1 and SPORT PLUS but ton complete
the sprint in an impressive 4.0 seconds.
The fastest variant in the range reaches a
top speed of 191 mph. To develop the Powerkit, a number of
sophisticated measures were needed.
The cylinder head intake ports have been
reworked and given a polished finish.
The stroke of the intake camshaft has
been increased and the electronic engine
management adapted accordingly. The highlight of the Carrera S Powerkit is
the newly developed variable resonance
intake manifold with six plus one switchable
valves. This innovation enables the system
to switch bet ween power- and torque-
optimised geometries and deliver a boost
in power output, particularly in the upper
speed range. The extra heat generated by this power increase is dissipated by an
additional centre radiator.
Other components include the sports
exhaust system with t wo specially designed
twin tailpipes and the titanium-coloured
engine cover featuring inlays in carbon. Some models may require additional
components. (Please see fit ting and
conversion instructions.)1 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The 911 was born out of passion for the
sports car. The source of this passion
can be traced back to the Porsche Devel-
opment Centre in Weissach. Here, our
designers and engineers give their all to produce breakthrough after breakthrough.
The most recent accomplishment is the
new Carrera S Powerkit – available for
the 911 Carrera S models (t ype 991).
