Hood.
To our engineers, clever and innovative
hood technology is particularly
important. The result we see today is
a flexible fabric hood comprising a fixed
glass rear screen and three integral hood
elements, which are manufactured from
magnesium. This makes the hood highly
robust and, yet, particularly light weight.
Another benefit is that the hood is
smooth and firm. The fabric remains taut
keeping the familiar 911 lines elegant. A
trivialit y? Only if you choose to ignore the
impressively low drag coefficient. In the case of the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models, for example, it ’s as low as 0.30.
A further feat of Porsche engineering.
The rear screen is made from glass

and is electrically heated and scratch-
resistant to provide excellent rearward
visibilit y. A rain channel on the hood
carries away water to avoid dripping
when the doors are opened.
Electrically powered, the hood is
operated using a but ton on the centre
console or via the key remote. It opens
or closes in just 13 seconds and remains
operable up to a speed of 50 km/ h. The concertina action ensures optimum
protection for the interior lining.
The interior hood lining is made from
a heat-
insulating and sound
-absorbing
material. Consistent interior temperatures
and an effective suppression of wind
noise are the perceptible results. Thank -
fully, however, even the hood’s sound -
proofing properties are no match for
the resonant Porsche sound.
Open, flexible, independent.
The optimum prerequisites for a long-term relationship.

SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the SPORT but ton
enables you to select a suspension setup
where the emphasis is on either comfort
or sport y performance. At the push of a
button, the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode

and the auto start/stop function are
automatically deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available
as an option. This integrated system
provides simultaneous enhancement for
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop -
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.

Additional performance enhancement systems.Electromechanical power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency
is a system that works only when it is
needed, and then does so in a particularly
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our
engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis-

tics show that a car drives in a straight
line 90 % of the time. Unlike conventional
hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses
energy only when the steering wheel is
actually turned. The absence of hydraulic
fluid also makes the system more
bene ficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10 % is concerned, we’re
optimally prepared as the steering system
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable
steering ratio and responds sensitively
and directly at the same time as providing
customary agilit y, a high level of comfort
and precisely selected feedback from the
road. Our definition of efficient.
Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the comfort-enhancing
power steering system, is available as an
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible,
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer-
ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds,
the steering ratio of Power steering Plus
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.

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.

Wheels.
The 911 Carrera models are equipped
with 19-inch 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 20 -inch 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).
Integrated as standard, Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) 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 diffe
rential
(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 style.
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.

S a f e t y.
Brakes.
Another crucial piece of the Porsche
identit y is the brakes. We value them as
highly as we do our engines and chassis.
They set standards for deceleration and
stabilit y, and give the driver the reassur
-
ance needed to push the car to the limits
of its performance.
The 911 Carrera base models are fit ted
front and rear with anodised black four-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed
calipers. All brake discs have a diameter
of 330 mm. On the S models, we have fit ted larger
brakes and more brake pistons to cope
with the higher engine power of these
models. Consequently, they feature red
six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed
brake calipers at the front and four-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed calipers at
the rear. The brake disc diameter is
340 mm at the front and 330 mm at the
rear. The results are enhanced braking
performance and stability.
On all models, the brake calipers have
an enclosed monobloc construction.
This makes them tougher but lighter
and enables a more rapid response and release of the brake even under extreme
loads. The pedal travel is short and

the biting point precise. The brake discs
are cross-drilled for better performance
in the wet.
Other benefits of the standard braking
system include the anti-lock braking
system (ABS), designed to keep
deceleration constant. Pedal effort is
reduced and braking response improved
by an 8-/9-inch tandem vacuum brake
booster. In the S models, brake disc
cooling is further enhanced by the
inclusion of air spoilers.

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.

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
A one-make championship is an
international motorsport event. Since
1993, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
has been held as part of the FIA
Formula One World Championship – and
as the only Gran Turismo race series.
All cars are supported by professional
racing teams, which use t wo to three
racing cars in the championship. The
events take place mainly as part of

the European Grand Prix, with a race
distance of approximately 70 kilo -
metres. The drivers, which include
established personalities alongside
promising new talent, give everything
they have from start to finish. After

all, another prize might just be up for
grabs: a career in GT racing.
Porsche Carrera Cups.
From trailblazer to tradition. The Porsche
Carrera Cups are staged worldwide as
part of the highest ranking national
motorsport series, such as the German
Touring Car Masters (DTM). The tradition
of the Porsche Carrera Cup spans over
20 years and, since the first Porsche
Carrera Cup Germany was staged in
1990, a further seven Porsche Carrera
Cups have become established in France,
Great Britain, Scandinavia, Italy, Japan,
Asia and Australia. Races are held on
almost every weekend of the motorsport
season. The passion to win fuels the fight
for every hundredth of a second: young
upstarts challenge old hands, while
amateurs compete with professionals.
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.
Whether it ’s at the FIA World Endurance
Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans,
the United SportsCar Championship or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners. And, since 2013,
Porsche has once more been competing
for podium finishes in factory champion -
ship races around the world.

Environment
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.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.
