Can you imagine a face without an expression?

Exterior design.
Every child recognises a 911, but can its
identit y be described in words? It can, by
looking more closely at the use of form,
proportions and contours. The roof line
tapers down into the rear. The wings are
higher than the front lid and, at the rear,
they add muscle. They give the 911 its
distinctive expression and leave you in no
doubt as to its temperament.
The overall appearance is low, wide and
sleek. Typically 911.
So, is every thing just the same as it has
been since 1963? Yes, and no. After all,
only those who change will remain true to
themselves. Our designers and engineers speak
guardedly about the 911 evolution. This
evolution is always motivated by the
principle that any innovations should be
functional and perfectly compatible. The
result is a harmonious overall concept
that makes the 911 a sports car fit for

the 21st century. Indeed, the Porsche
911 Carrera has already won the
prestigious ‘Red Dot Design Award’ for its
unique, functional and emotive design.
To show you what we mean, we should
start by taking a look at the car’s
exterior. Its long wheelbase helps to
provide a high level of driving stabilit y
and excellent cornering dynamics. Overhangs are short at the front and
rear, giving the 911 a compact and agile
look.
The sport y overall impression is
emphasised by the low roof line and by the
wide track at the front. On the 911 Carrera
all-wheel- drive models, the body is 44 mm
wider at the rear. The resulting benefits
include increased traction and agility.
The silhouette is therefore typically 911
and t ypical in terms of its development,
which will now be described in more detail.

Sporty ergonomics for ordinary driving.
Extraordinary comfort for sporty driving.

Interior design.
At Porsche, we don’t build everyday
sports cars, we build sports cars for
everyday use. How? By understanding
that great agilit y and maximum comfort
are not mutually exclusive but are, in
fact, aspects of a harmonious overall
concept.
This is especially true of the interior of
the 911. Sportiness, functionality and
high-quality materials combine to form
a cohesive whole that is conducive to
dynamic driving, even during everyday
use. This becomes clearer the moment you
get in. The long wheelbase in all 911
models offers an astonishing amount of
leg and head room.
Sportiness in harmony with comfort is
the theme that is reflected in the clever
ergonomics that characterise the entire
interior design. The materials used, the
layout of the controls and their operating
logic belong to a modern- day sports car.
Another is the ascending centre console.
Its intelligent operating concept follows a
clear principle of direct simplicity.A classic 911 feature is the arrangement
of the five round instruments with the rev
counter in the middle. The instrument
cluster is contemporary, featuring a
high-resolution 4.6-inch colour screen

for viewing information relating to the
adaptive cruise control function, the
audio system, the speed limit indicator
and more.
Acoustics are an integral part of the
concept, particularly the engine sound.
Available as an option is the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System. Optimised for the 911 Carrera model
range, it features 12 loudspeakers and a
total output of 821 wat ts for a perfect
spatial sound.
The 911 proves that apparent opposites,
such as st yle and engineering or comfort
and performance, can go hand in hand.
For us, there is no contradiction and
certainly no need for compromise. After
all, a strong personalit y does not deny
the existence of opposites, it unites
them.

“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 performance
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 911 identit y. These
include Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), which comes as
standard in the 911 Carrera S models,
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PT V) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus)

in conjunction with PDK. Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) is additionally
available as an option for the 911 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 recently 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.

Front and rear axles.
The independent suspension at the front
features a light weight spring-strut axle
with longitudinal and transverse links and
cross members that have been refined
for stiffness. Each front wheel is precisely
located, ensuring excellent directional stability, superior handling and reduced
pitching under braking, and the wide
track optimises turn-
in.
The rear axle is equipped with a
motorsport- derived multi -link suspension
and chassis subframe. Refined axle
kinematics for improved longitudinal
damping reduce acceleration squat and increase comfort. Light weight spring
struts further enhance agilit y.
The high proportion of aluminium used in
the construction of the axles reduces the
weight of the vehicle and of the unsprung masses, helping to improve fuel economy,
comfort and agility.

Engineered design.
The innovative bodyshell of the 911 fulfils
t wo structural design requirements: first,
excellent driving dynamics due to the
body’s extremely high rigidit y; second, a
low vehicle weight primarily as a result of
the intelligent lightweight construction.
To meet the second requirement, we
employed state -of -the- art techniques for
combining various materials in order
to utilise specific material properties
exactly where they are needed.

For the bodyshell, therefore, we used
very thin, but nevertheless extremely
rigid, sheets of steel. Aluminium and magnesium were used extensively in
areas such as the roof, underbody, front
end, doors, rear wings and engine com
-
partment and luggage compartment lids.
Magnesium, which is a particularly light -
weight material, was also selected for
the cockpit and centre console support
beam and, in the Cabriolet models,
the hood shell elements. Such material efficiency is key to
reducing the overall weight and, as a
result, fuel consumption of the vehicle.
For the driver, this intelligent blend of
materials reduces the weight of the
vehicle and offers a high level of comfort
thanks to excellent vibration-damping
characteristics and particularly high
composite rigidit y, a high degree of
dynamic torsional stiffness, and
especially sporty handling.
The long wheelbase improves comfort as
well as straight-line accuracy and driving
stabilit y at high speeds and in fast
corners.
