Principle 29
Engineered design.
Engine, chassis, body. In every component
of the 911, we have invested years of
experience, thousands of ideas and
countless hours of development. Even the
smallest innovation would fill a book. Yet,
it is only when all individual parts work as
one that we see a particular principle
emerge: a harmonious overall concept or
– as our engineers sometimes call it – the
unique technical layout of the 911.
This principle has made the 911 fit for the
future since 1963. 2+2 seats are the
ideal concept for a compact and pure-
bred sports car that nevertheless offers
an astonishing amount of space and an
airy feel. Then there is the compact engine in the
rear end: the optimum drive concept for
the 911. It is this position that helps to
ensure excellent traction and lends the
911
its unique driving feel.
The logical place for belongings in a
rear- engined sports car is the luggage
compartment at the front. This is key
to good travel comfort, remarkable
everyday practicality – and the strong
individualit y of an unadulterated sports
c a r.
The perfect basis for superlative sport y
performance, which you can bring to the
road day in, day out.
How do we defend our position?
By always being one idea ahead.
Tradition and future of the 911
principle.

Principle 35
911 Carrera S models and the
911 Ta r g a 4 S.
The new S models raise the performance
concept to an even higher level, with a
t win-turbo engine capable of 309 kW
(420 hp). Here, too, a reduction in engine
capacit y and turbocharging has reduced
fuel consumption and increased driving pleasure at the same time. The S models
generate a maximum torque of 500 Nm –
from as low as 1,700 rpm – putting them
ahead of their predecessor once more by
an impressive 60 Nm. Putting you ahead
of the field.
T h e 911 Carrera S models and the
911 Targa 4S are equipped with 20 -inch alloy wheels. Traction is enhanced
by Porsche Torque Vectoring (PT V),
which is fit ted as standard. Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
the electronic damping control system,
also comes as standard. The new rear-
axle steering and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) are available on
request. Increased performance could not be
managed without greater safety.
The S models are therefore equipped
with six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed
brake calipers in red at the front and
four-piston equivalents at the rear.
Another hallmark of the new S models:
twin tailpipes in brushed stainless steel.
Well, ‘S’ does stand for Sport, doesn’t it?

Sports steering wheel.
Fit ted as standard, the sports steering
wheel with spoked design is light weight
and functional. The small centre pad and
the chrome ring encircling the Porsche
Crest – both derived from the steering
wheel of the 918 Spyder – reinforce its
sporty character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles. The shift throw of the
paddles has been reduced, gearshifts
are even crisper. Available as an option
is the new GT sports steering wheel. This
has a smaller diameter. The decorative
ring and the paddles are finished in
Galvano Silver, while the spoke trims are
screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived
design? Definitely. Above all, though, to
emulate a motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
colour display, the on-board computer
and many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the overhead
console and in the areas of the door
handles, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your
pocket. As soon as you grab the door
handle, or your hand nears the Porsche
Crest on the luggage compartment lid, the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door or the
luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.
