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?

Drive 51
The essential feature of all 911 all-wheel
drive models: enhanced Porsche Traction
Management (PTM).
Derived from the 911
Turbo, the
electronically controlled and fully variable
multi-plate clutch distributes drive force
between the permanently driven rear
axle and the front axle even faster and
more precisely than ever before.
The driving state of the vehicle is
continuously monitored so that it is
possible to respond to different driving
situations. Sensors are used to collect a
range of data, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and
longitudinal acceleration of the car and
the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten
to spin under acceleration, a greater
proportion of drive force is transmit ted
to the front by a more powerful
engagement of the multi-plate clutch.
In this way, PTM, working in conjunction
with Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), always ensures the appropriate
distribution of force necessary for
excellent driving performance and
particularly well-balanced handling at
the limit.
