2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S Information Manual

Highlights 17
The direction is clear: forever forwards.
It just begs one question: how do we get
there? The best way is with technologies
that are always that little bit ahead of their
time.
Infotainment as standard for a new
generation: enhanced Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including an online navigation module
and a new 7-inch multi-touchscreen.
In addition, all functions can be operated
by voice control.
The new Connect Plus module integrates
an even wider array of infotainment and
real-time navigation services into your
Porsche. Connect Plus now also offers
Apple CarPlay
® as well as Remote and Security Services. Other features of the
Connect Plus module include the telephone
module and wireless Internet access.
Sound Package Plus, with eight
loudspeakers and a total output of
150 watts, delivers excellent sound.
New in the 911: Lane Change Assist. It uses
radar sensors to monitor the areas to the
rear of your vehicle and the blind spots on
either side. For improved comfort and
safety, particularly on motorways.
Another word for pioneering?

Trailblazing.
The driver and the future.

Design

Design 21
The design of the new 911 shows where we
come from. But it also shows where we
want to go.
The design language, proportions and
contouring follow the 911 tradition: with
wings that are higher than the front lid; with
familiar rounded headlights; and a roof line
that tapers down towards the rear. The
overall appearance is low, wide and sleek.
The unmistakable DNA of a Porsche.
Our designers focused on making the new
911 appear even more precise. With a new
lighting design and characteristic four-spot
LED daytime running lights, which have now been incorporated into the Bi-Xenon main
headlights. With direction indicators that
are even slimmer than they were before.
For a sports car that is recognisably a 911,
even from afar.
The new front end has been given an even
sportier look. The air intakes are larger,
while the new active cooling air flaps on the
sides control aerodynamics and cooling
performance as required.
From the front, the new 911 shows plenty
of bite. And the future has whetted its
appetite.
An innovation is a tradition
forever being sharpened to look brand new.
Exterior.

Design 23
The rear encapsulates the heart of the
911: the engine. This is where it has
been beating ever since 1963. And will
continue to do so in the future. However,
the turbocharged drive system of the
new 911 Carrera models needs a lot of
air to breathe.
That ’s why, for the first time on a 911, the
slats of the rear lid grille are arranged
longitudinally. But where a lot of air comes
in, a lot of air must also be able to get out.
On the rear apron, this requirement is
fulfilled by the two side outlets for the
intercoolers. Conspicuous, in the best sense of the
word, is how to describe the prominent,
three-dimensional LED taillights. The high-
level third brake light
is integrated directly
above the slats of the rear lid grille.
New to the rear is the design of the
tailpipes in stainless steel. The central
tailpipes of the optional sports exhaust
system are derived from the 911 GT3. For
harmony of form, function and sound.
Sharp, sporty and timeless. The contouring
of the rear is even more clearly defined,
making it look wider, more sculpted and
more muscular. That ’s our approach to the
theory of evolution.

Design 25
The interior of a Porsche is infused with
over 60 years of experience. You can feel
it: in the materials, which are elegant to the
touch and exquisitely made. You can see it:
in the sporty design. And it communicates
itself with every second of driving, thanks
to excellent ergonomics and comfort.
The ascending centre console is driver-
focussed, putting the most important
vehicle functions within short reach of the
steering wheel. The new Sports steering wheel speaks the language of motorsport.
Its forward-looking design is derived from
the 918 Spyder.
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of
the five round instruments with the rev
counter positioned in the centre. The
instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.6-
inch colour screen adds the modern touch.
Tradition meets innovation. The result?
Futurism, but of the Porsche kind.
How does one marry purism with style?

And tradition with the future?
Directly, with no detours.

Drive

At Porsche, there are no conventions.
Forbidding free thought? That ’s forbidden.
The only thing that matters is this question:
how can we become even better? Let ’s put
it another way: can we redefine the limits of
engineering? Yes, we can. With Intelligent
Performance.
The new 911 answers questions about the
future of the sports car with a quantum
leap in performance. By reducing fuel
consumption, but not by suppressing
emotions. By following a principle that has
already changed everything once before:
in 1974, with the first 911 Turbo. Developed completely from scratch, the
six-cylinder twin-turbo boxer engines of the
911 Carrera models with a displacement
of 3.0 litres embrace this principle and
perfect it in a future-bound way. To be more
precise: tremendous acceleration force
even in the low rpm range is supplemented
by the engine map of a 911 Carrera with
the high rev limits typical of a sports car.
Expressed in figures, this means an extra
15 kW (20 hp) of power, an extra 60 Nm

of torque and engine speeds of up to
7,500 rpm. And a considerable reduction
in fuel consumption of up to 12
%.

The engine of the 911 Carrera develops
272 kW (370 hp). The maximum torque of
450 Nm is available from as low as
1,700 rpm. With Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), the 911 Carrera can accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h in only 4.4 seconds
and reach a top speed of 293 km/ h.
We could sit back in the slipstream of our own tradition.

Drive 31
The propulsive potential of the engine in the
911 Carrera S, featuring upsized turbo-
chargers and independent exhaust tracts,
is even more impressive. It generates a
power output of 309 kW (420 hp) and the
maximum torque is a mighty 500 Nm,
available from as low as 1,700 rpm. With
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Launch
Control, the 911 Carrera S sprints to
100 km/ h in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed
isn’t reached until 306 km/ h.
What cannot be expressed in figures: the
legendary sound of a 911 six-cylinder
horizontally opposed engine. And the
experience is all the more intense for it.
