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.

7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. The 7-speed manual
transmission combines a high level of
sporty performance with fast gear changes.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, selecting SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode activates the dynamic
throttle-blip function, which ensures the
optimum engine speed for every downshift,
a more emotional driving experience and
an impressive sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you to conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optimised 7-speed PDK, featuring both
a manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – together
with even faster acceleration performance
and lower fuel consumption.
A first for the 911 Carrera models: with PDK
in manual mode, the shift direction simulates
that of racing cars and the 911 GT3 models –
towards the rear to shift up, forwards to shift
down. For a racetrack driving experience
wherever you are.
Gears one to six have a sports ratio and
top speed is reached in sixth gear. Seventh
gear is ratioed primarily for fuel economy.
Always a few milliseconds ahead of time.
