2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S ESP

Safety and environment 69
We want to speed everything up. Progress
included. The same applies to negative
acceleration. That’s because even brakes
are a source of potential. So we’ve upsized
the brake system of the new 911 to match
the increased power output.
T h e 911
Carrera base models are fit ted
with newly developed four-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed calipers with
a black anodised finish. All brake discs
have a diameter of 330 mm.
The S models are equipped with red six-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake
calipers at the front and four-piston equivalents at the rear. The brake
chambers at the front axle are now
made from aluminium. Brake disc
diameters are 350 mm at the front,
330 mm at the rear. For enhanced
stability and braking performance.
On all models, the brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction. This
makes them tougher but light weight 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 improved wet braking
and optimum cooling.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
Proven in motorsport, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is
available as an option. On the new 911,
the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of
PCCB now have a diameter of 410 mm at
the front and 390 mm at the rear –
for even more formidable braking
performance.
Originating from the 911
 Turbo S, PCCB
features six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston units at the rear – all painted
in yellow – to provide braking forces that
are considerably more powerful and,
crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
For Ferry Porsche, even then standing still was unthinkable.
With one exception.
Brakes.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Safety under high-speed
braking is also improved thanks to its
excellent fade resistance.
Another advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. This results in
better roadholding and increased comfort,
particularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agilit y and a further improvement
in handling.

A rest yling of the Bi-Xenon main
headlights – fit ted as standard – sees
the four-spot LED day time running lights
now incorporated into each headlight
unit. These are an innovative technical
feature of the new 911
models – and
a facet of their personality. After all,
it is the characteristic lighting design
that makes the face of the 911
so
unmistakable.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for all functions of the redesigned
taillights. As well as being a powerful
lighting source, LEDs offer a fast response
to driver input. The LED brake lights
emulate the four-spot appearance of the
daytime running lights.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
is available as an option. Its dynamic
cornering light function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
so as to light up more of the road at
bends and turns. Put simply, the road
ahead is illuminated the moment you
start to corner. PDLS also features
speed-sensitive headlight range control
and the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
Superior safety meets sporty design in
the form of optional LED main headlights
including PDLS Plus. In addition to being
efficient and long-lasting, LED technology
also creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.
One special feature of PDLS Plus is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dynamic
main beam function then adapts the

headlight range accordingly. This
continuous, seamless control means
that you are able to see the course of
the road, pedestrians and potential
hazards earlier without hindering other
road users.

Safety and environment 75
In an era of intensifying debate about
global climate change and CO2 emissions,
every automotive manufacturer is asking
what it has to offer right now. Our
answer? Excellent performance together
with excellent efficiency.
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 accomplished, on the one hand,
with the efficient use of fuel by means of
efficiency-enhancing technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, active air
intake flaps and, in conjunction with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), coasting
mode. On the other hand, cataly tic
converters with stereo Lambda control
circuits provide efficient emission
control. Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is
integral to the Porsche identit y. This
is expressed in the form of a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength
sheet steels. All materials have been
strategically selected, and the paints
used are predominantly environmentally
friendly water-based paints. Each lightweight material is easily recyclable
and all plastic components are labelled
to facilitate future separation for
recycling. In all, the 911
is up to 95
%
recoverable.
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 CO2
balance because it is derived from plants
that absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.
For others, it’s the order of the day.
For us, the order of the future.
Environment.

Infotainment for a new generation:
enhanced Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including online
navigation module with real-time traffic
information
is your control centre for
audio, navigation
and communication
functions – and it ’s standard in every
model.
PCM is operated by means of the new
7-inch multi-touchscreen or by voice
control. Alternatively, you can use the
conventional rotary pushbutton controls.
In response to hand movement, an
integral proximit y sensor activates the screen to display the relevant menu
contents, which you can then operate
easily using multi-touch gestures. With
its high-quality glass surface, PCM is the
aesthetically perfect addition to the
centre console.
Equally user-friendly is the new navigation
system – offering real-time traffic data.
Based on this information, roads in map
view are highlighted green, yellow or
red,
 depending on volume of traffic. In
addition, the traffic information is
continuously updated and, thanks to
dynamic route guidance, your journey is
adapted accordingly.
Another word for pioneering?
Trailblazing.
