2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S stop start

Efficiency-enhancing technologies.
Auto start /stop switches off the engine
when the driving speed falls below 4 mph
under moderate deceleration, such as
when you are approaching a red light. As
soon as you release the clutch or, with
PDK, depress the accelerator pedal, the
engine restarts – swiftly and smoothly.
In conjunction with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), a coasting function becomes
available where the situation allows.
The engine is decoupled from the
transmission to avoid deceleration
caused by engine braking. In this way,
optimum use is made of the vehicle’s
momentum, enabling it to coast for
longer distances.
Sports exhaust system.
It ’s a first for any Porsche turbocharged
boxer engines, and it ’s a technical
innovation. Available as an option for the
new 911, the sports exhaust system
features t wo cataly tic converters and a
rear silencer, which lead into two centrally
positioned tailpipes. For a look otherwise
more likely to be seen on the racetrack.
For impressive resonance and an intense
sports car sound – typical of the 911.
For 100 % Porsche. And for goose bumps
at the push of a but ton.

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.

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.
