With the optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) for the S models
of the 911 Carrera, these characteristics
can be further accentuated: the vehicle
holds the road even bet ter and delivers
even sportier performance. PDCC is an active anti-
roll system that
suppresses lateral body movement during
cornering manoeuvres. In addition, it
minimises the lateral instability of the
vehicle on uneven ground. This effect is achieved with the aid of
hydraulic stabilising actuators in the form
of cylinders designed to optimise camber.
Lateral roll is counteracted by forces
generated at each individual wheel, based
on steering angle and lateral acceleration.

The results are improved dynamic
performance and increased ride comfort
at all speeds, as well as optimised turn-in
and stable load transfer characteristics.
In simple terms, the t yres and vehicle
hold the road bet ter and you can steer
through corners faster and in a more
relaxed manner.
PDCC sets standards for handling
performance, ride comfort and driving
pleasure. In the 911, your ‘usual’ way
suddenly becomes the Porsche way.

It ’s easy, and even makes sense, to carry
on in your usual way, but what happens
if a sudden change of direction leaves
you thrown off course? Then, it all comes
down to personal strength.
A Porsche has a clear sense of purpose
and is the embodiment of strength. It
demonstrates this with sport y and precise
handling and excellent roadholding.
You appreciate directness.
But love a few twists and turns.

On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the 911 Carrera S models,
optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC) switch to a harder
damping set ting and offer more direct
steering and, therefore, better
roadholding. In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised. Agilit y is
perceptibly enhanced when braking for
corners with PSM, allowing sportier
braking and exit acceleration. For even
greater dexterit y, PSM can be set to
standby while the car is still in
SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y, it is
set to intervene automatically only

when ABS assistance is required on both
the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions for a sport y drive that borders
on a motorsport experience. The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used

on the track to achieve the best
possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy’. Using this,
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared
up for extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for the maximum
acceleration available. This combination
of uncompromising and involving perfor-

mance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with
optional PCM, a special performance
display enables you to view, store and
evaluate lap times or other driving times.
It shows the total driving time, lap
distance, lap number and lap times
recorded so far.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package
borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic
engine mounts. These exploit the laws
of physics for your own driving pleasure.
Dynamic engine mounts.
You don’t have to take the 911 onto the
racetrack. But you can, more so than
ever, because dynamic engine mounts
are now included as part of the Sport
Chrono Package.
The electronically controlled system
minimises the oscillations and vibrations
of the entire drivetrain, especially
the engine, and combines the benefits
of a hard or soft engine mounting
arrangement.
A hard engine mounting delivers optimum
dynamic performance because it offers
the highest degree of handling precision
possible. Soft engine mounts, on the
other hand, minimise oscillations and
vibrations. While comfort is improved on
uneven road surfaces, this comes at
the expense of dynamic performance. Our engineers have solved this problem
by enabling the engine mounts to adapt
their stiffness and damping properties to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. This has been achieved by
use of a fluid with magnetic properties in
interaction with an electrically generated
field. For the driver, the results are tangi-

ble. Handling is perceptibly more stable
under load change conditions and in
fast corners. Whenever a less assertive
driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
engine mounts provide a higher level of
comfor t.

Digital radio.
The optional digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto -
matically switches bet ween digital and
analogue to ensure optimum reception
of the selected station.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM inserted directly
into the integral SIM card reader of
CDR Plus or PCM, calls can be made
using the hands-free facilit y. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth
®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once the connection has been
established automatically, the mobile
phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus, PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without
it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-free
system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away.
On request, a Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
Mobile phone preparation is available
as an option so that a Bluetooth®
connection can be established with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). This function
also enables you to leave your mobile
phone tucked away. The CDR audio
system, CDR Plus and PCM are able to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone. The GSM connection
is established through the aerial of the
mobile phone.
Voice control system.
If you require route guidance, need to
make a phone call or want to listen to the
radio, then why not just say so? Almost
all of the functions of PCM can be con -
trolled using the optional voice control
system with word -by
-word input. In the
majorit y of cases, you can simply say
the name of the menu item as seen on
1) TMC Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.2) In MPEG -2 format.
The DVD-audio drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3- compatible. Audio play -
back of video DVDs is also supported.
A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger integrat -
ed into PCM is available as an option.
The universal audio interface (USB) in
the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source.
Recharging is also supported. Once
connected, your iPod
® or USB stick is
then conveniently and safely operated
via the PCM, the optional multifunction
steering wheel or the optional voice
control system.
You can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook via the USB port. You can also
transfer up to 5,000 tracks (40 GB) in
MP3 format to the internal hard drive (or Jukebox) of PCM and play them from
there. Podcasts and audiobooks are
recognised and played and cover art is
displayed.
The navigation module in PCM features

a high-speed hard drive and allows you
to choose bet ween a 2D display and
a 3D perspective. In some regions, it is
possible to display the terrain (with an
overlaid satellite map) and buildings in
3D. Split screen mode enables you to
view t wo functions at once, such as the
current navigation map and a list of
symbols that represent the next driving
manoeuvre.
The navigation module also has a
dynamic route guidance function which
takes into account official traffic
messages (TMC) and additional traffic
flow sensors (TMC Pro).

the screen. The voice control system
understands complete addresses when
entered as navigation destinations, as
well as phonebook entries and the names
of radio stations. Even lists can be
browsed by voice command. For added
convenience, there is no need to ‘train’
the system.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging on every journey of mileage,
route distance, date, time, starting
location and destination. Data can be
downloaded to a USB stick and evaluated
on your home PC using the soft ware
supplied. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks
as specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Speed limit indicator screen
Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions and the
start and end of no overtaking zones.
The information is recorded using a cam -
era and is shown on the colour TFT dis -
play in the instrument cluster or via the
PCM screen. If a traffic sign is missed –
for example due to heav y rain or dark -
ness – the speed limit stored in the navi -
gation module is automatically displayed. The function allows the driver to concen
-
trate more fully on the road ahead.
TV tuner.
The optional T V tuner is capable of
receiving unencrypted analogue and
digital television broadcasts (DVB-T)

The sound of a Porsche is a unique
characteristic, 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 eight amplifier channels,
12 loudspeakers 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 the CDR Plus audio
system or 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 digital 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.

Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through
the use of fuel- efficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct fuel
injection, VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction
with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, cataly tic converters
developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitry
controls and monitors each cylinder bank
separately. For each exhaust tract,
oxygen sensors regulate the composition
of the exhaust gas, while another Lambda
sensor on each cylinder bank monitors
pollutant conversion in the respective
catalytic converter.

Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been fundamental to the Porsche identit y
since 1948, for both technical and
ecological reasons. This forms the basis
for achieving low fuel consumption
values in conjunction with outstanding
performance.
On the technical side, we use a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength sheet
steel. The materials used have been
selected for their ability to withstand
load, yet they are considerably lighter
than conventional steel. On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. All synthetic
components are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its separa
-
tion for recycling. The reduction in the
number of plastic variants helps to ensure
more efficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements.
In short, the 911 is around 95 %
recoverable.

In addition, Porsche uses a high propor -
tion of environmentally friendly water-
based paints. For us, environmental
protection does not begin at the end of
a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10 %, e.g. ‘E10’.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance since the plants grown for the
production of this biofuel also absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the
fuel system has been minimised thanks,
in no small part, to the active carbon
filter and the multilayered material from
which the fuel tank is made. All fuel lines
are made from multilayered plastic, steel
or aluminium.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.
