| 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 911 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,
therefore, 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 maxi-
mum torque of 440 Nm is achieved
at 5,600 rpm. In conjunction with
the manual gearbox, the sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h is completed in a
mere 4.5 seconds. Top speed isn’t
reached until 304 km/ h.
On figures alone, the new 911 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
This is made possible by the auto start /
stop function, which is available as
standard, and the coasting function
in conjunction with optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (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
sportier aerodynamics and the ride height
lowered 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 conjunction with the optional PDK,
increase traction and driving stability.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),
the active roll stabilisation system, is
available as an option and improves
agility, comfort and safety.
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
improved braking performance and a
shorter braking distance. Bi-Xenon
headlights are standard, while the
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
and LED main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS
+
) are available as options.
There is no doubt. The 911 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them
with efficiency, power and sport y
performance.

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

| Chassis and body
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. To ensure efficient control interventions,
a multitude of sensors in the 911 record
the body movements that accompany
powerful acceleration, braking or uneven
road surfaces. 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 bet ween 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 stabilit y 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
(PT V) 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.

SportDesign steering wheel
SportDesign steering wheel with gearshif t paddles
Sports steering wheel
In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important interface 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
ergonomics. A full
-size airbag is integrated
as standard.
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
functions, TFT display and on
board
computer. On request, the steering
wheel is available 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 features
a display above the airbag module
to inform you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions have been activated.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
left- 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 right -hand
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.

Sports seats.
The Sports seats in partial leather are
comfortable and provide support even
during performance driving. They are
equipped as standard with electric seat
height and backrest adjustment and
mechanical fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle, squab depth, fore/aft position,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all seat
positions on the driver’s side as well as,
for example, the set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.
Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side
bolsters on the squab and backrest
have firmer, sportier padding and offer
even better lateral support.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport
and comfort. Finished in leather and
with side bolsters having a firm, sport y
padding, they also feature shoulder
supports for the best possible hold.
Offering 18-way electric adjustment,

Seating.Sports bucket seats.1)
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we
can equip the seats (except for the
Sports bucket seats) with seat ventilation
on request. A slipstream effect is
pro duced by active ventilation of the
perfo
rated seat centre and backrest
and by passive aeration at the side
bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture and therefore makes for a dry
and pleas
ant seating environment, even
in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car and the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Carrera Coupé models increases
to 260 litres and, with a capacit y of
160 litres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models offer plent y of space for luggage,
too.
Child seats.1)
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.
