2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S Instrument

Drive 49
7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shift
movements and an optimum transition
from one gear to the next. The 7-speed
manual transmission combines a high
level of sport y performance with fast
gear changes. In conjunction with the
optional Sport Chrono Package, selecting
SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode activates
the dynamic
throttle-blip function, which
ensures the optimum engine speed for
every downshift, a more emotional
driving experience and an impressive
sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter
reminds you which gear has been
selected. The upshift indicator in the
instrument cluster helps you actively to
conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optimised 7-speed PDK, featuring
both a manual and an automatic mode, is
available as an option and offers extremely
fast gear changes with no interruption in
the flow of power. And that ’s with even
faster acceleration performance and a
further reduction in fuel consumption.
A first for the 911
models: in manual
mode, the shift direction simulates that
of racing cars and the 911
GT3 models –
to the rear to shift up, forwards to shift
down. For a racetrack driving experience
wherever you are. Gears one to six have a sports ratio, with
top speed being reached in sixth gear.
Seventh gear is ratioed primarily for fuel
economy.
PDK is essentially t wo gearboxes in one.
This double-clutch arrangement provides
an alternating, non-positive connection
bet ween the t wo half gearboxes and the
engine by means of t wo separate input
shafts. The flow of power from the
engine is transmit ted through one half
gearbox and one clutch at a time, while
the next gear is preselected in the
second half gearbox. During a gear
change, therefore, one clutch simply
opens and the other closes at the same
time, enabling gear changes to take
place within milliseconds.
Always a few milliseconds ahead of time.

SPORT button.
The SPORT button 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.
Adrenaline at the push of a but ton, goose
bumps included: the functions of the
optional Sport Chrono Package enable
an even sportier tuning of the chassis,
engine and transmission – and launch
you to unprecedented sporty heights.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder to make you feel closer to
the racetrack. Without your hand leaving
the steering wheel, you can choose any
of four set tings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Individual. Now you can adapt
the vehicle even more to the way you
want to drive. On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the S models, optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
and optional rear-axle steering adapt for
enhanced roadholding performance by
switching to a sportier damper set ting
and offering more direct turn-in on
entering the corner.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has three additional
functions. The first is ‘Launch Control’,
which can be used to achieve the best
possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy. In this mode,
Another few seconds faster.
Under the skin.
High-performance systems.
PDK is geared up for extremely short
shift times and optimum shift points for
the maximum acceleration available.
This combination of uncompromising and
involving performance is ideal for the
racetrack.
The third function – SPORT Response –
is brand new to the 911. Pressing the
but ton in the centre of the mode switch
primes the engine and transmission for the
fastest possible unleashing of power. In
other words, maximum responsiveness –
for a period of approximately 20 seconds.
A timer graphic in the instrument cluster
tells you how long is left.

Comfort 79
The driver must always know how to get
ahead, without ever losing sight of the
bigger picture. For this reason, every thing
in the interior is geared towards looking
forward: to the car in front, to the next
corner, to the next driving manoeuvre.
That’s possible only when synergies are
created between engineering and design,
and sportiness and comfort. Proof: the
new sports steering wheel with its puristic
design and excellent ergonomics. More
proof: the ascending centre console. The
principle they share: putting the driver
first. The same applies to the suspension
settings and the two-zone air conditioning
system. There shouldn’t be any need to
spend too long browsing one submenu
after another. You should instead be able
to concentrate on what’s important:
driving pleasure.
Five round instruments make a sport y
contribution. Their primary purpose is to
provide information. They do so efficiently
and accurately. And their styling is
typically Porsche, with the rev counter
exactly where you would expect it to be:
in the middle. Technology to help you along the way is
integrated as standard: new Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including online navigation module plus
7-inch multi-touchscreen. Thanks to the
Connect Plus module, PCM is also your
gateway to the digital world.
The instrument cluster with 4.6-inch
colour screen provides you with a
continuous stream of data from the
on-board computer, such as trip
mileage, journey time or average fuel
consumption. It also displays the map
of the navigation system together
with real-time traffic information,

From pioneering technology to sporty
comfort. Whether it’s leather or Alcantara,
all the materials we use are exquisite
and puristic.
In addition to the choice of Agate Grey,
Black and Luxor Beige for the
interior, there is a wide range of other
personalisation options available,
including two-tone colour combinations
or special colours and materials such
as carbon, aluminium and high-quality
wood.

Comfort 87
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
this enhanced version of cruise control
actively regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with the speed of the
vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200  m.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly, the system issues an
audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by
a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation
of targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to
achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide. With the new 911, coasting is now
possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor
the areas to the rear of the vehicle and
the blind spots on either side. Above a
speed of 9 mph, the system issues a
visual warning signal in the door mirror
panel whenever a vehicle rapidly
approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In
this way, Lane Change Assist improves
comfort and safety, particularly on
motorways. However, the system does
not actively intervene to control the
vehicle and can be deactivated at any
time.
ParkAssist.
Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, the system audibly alerts
the driver to the presence of obstacles
detected behind the vehicle. An
intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidit y as the obstacle is approached.
ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to
include monitoring of the front end with
four additional sensors. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display screen, which shows
a graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.
Help is provided in the form of the camera

There’s polishing, filing and stitching to
be done – and painting. The goal? Agility
combined with originality.

on the doors and the black sports
tailpipes.
The inside is also brimming with passion
for detail. And plentiful works of handicraft.
Numerous items are lined in leather or
trimmed with carbon. Matching-colour
seat belts and instrument dial faces
