2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S wheel torque

Principle 33
T h e 911 was designed to be a pure-bred
sports car from the very start, initially
offering 96 kW (130 hp). As early as
1966, the first S model hit the road with
an engine built for higher compression.
T h e 911
S 2.0 Coupé drove the power
output of the six-cylinder horizontally
opposed engine up to 118 kW (160 hp)
and was the force behind countless race-
going versions of the 911
in motorsport.
This tradition is also followed by the new
911, boasting six cylinders, a displacement
of 3.0 litres and t wo engine variants: one
rated 272 kW (370 hp) and the other –
an S model – offering 309 kW (420 hp). Both engines meet the requirements of
our time. Thanks to their turbocharged
design, they generate more power – with
reduced displacement and lower fuel
consumption.
911 Carrera models and the
911
Ta r g a 4.
Incredible sportiness is the number one
discipline of the 911 Carrera models and
the 911 Targa 4. Turbocharged induction
makes their engine not only more efficient,
but also more powerful. In figures: 272 kW

(370 hp). The high torque of 450 Nm is
available early on at an impressively low
1,700 rpm. A performance promise
delivered to the driver without detour –
across a wide engine speed range.
Fit ted as standard for the first time in all
models: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
damping control system. Further proof
that, when it comes to the 911, it ’s
always about increased performance –
as well as greater comfort.

The base models are equipped with
19-inch alloy wheels. The newly styled
single-tube tailpipes are imposing – just
like the sound.
How to take the 911 principle up a level:
with a simple ‘S’.
One 911, two engine variants.

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?

2 emissions, please refer to page 147 onwards.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PTV (with manual transmission) or PTV Plus
(with PDK) is available as standard in
the S models and as an option for the
911 Carrera 4 models and the 911 Targa 4.
Both systems actively enhance vehicle
dynamics and stability. Operating in conjunction with a rear differential lock,
they work by intelligently braking the
rear wheels as the situation demands.

When the car is driven assertively
into a corner, moderate brake pressure
is applied to the inside rear wheel.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in
a direct and sport y steering action
from the turn-in point.
With PTV, the rear differential lock is
regulated mechanically, while PTV Plus is
equipped with electronic control offering
fully variable torque distribution. In
interaction with Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), the system improves
