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?

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

Chassis 57
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
All 911 models are equipped with
enhanced Porsche Stability Management
(PSM) as standard. PSM maintains
stabilit y even at the limits of dynamic
driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction,
speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. Using this
information, PSM is able to calculate the
actual direction of travel at any given
moment and initiates strategic braking of
individual wheels to prevent you from
deviating from your intended line.
Under acceleration on inconsistent
surfaces, PSM improves traction using
the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR) functions.
The result is a high level of driving
stability and safety – and extraordinary
agilit y at the same time.

Safety and environment 69
We want to speed everything up. Progress
included. The same applies to negative
acceleration. That’s because even brakes
are a source of potential. So we’ve upsized
the brake system of the new 911 to match
the increased power output.
T h e 911
Carrera base models are fit ted
with newly developed four-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed calipers with
a black anodised finish. All brake discs
have a diameter of 330 mm.
The S models are equipped with red six-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake
calipers at the front and four-piston equivalents at the rear. The brake
chambers at the front axle are now
made from aluminium. Brake disc
diameters are 350 mm at the front,
330 mm at the rear. For enhanced
stability and braking performance.
On all models, the brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction. This
makes them tougher but light weight and
enables a more rapid response and
release of the brake even under extreme
loads. The pedal travel is short and the
biting point precise. The brake discs are
cross-drilled for improved wet braking
and optimum cooling.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
Proven in motorsport, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is
available as an option. On the new 911,
the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of
PCCB now have a diameter of 410 mm at
the front and 390 mm at the rear –
for even more formidable braking
performance.
Originating from the 911
 Turbo S, PCCB
features six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston units at the rear – all painted
in yellow – to provide braking forces that
are considerably more powerful and,
crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
For Ferry Porsche, even then standing still was unthinkable.
With one exception.
Brakes.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Safety under high-speed
braking is also improved thanks to its
excellent fade resistance.
Another advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. This results in
better roadholding and increased comfort,
particularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agilit y and a further improvement
in handling.

A rest yling of the Bi-Xenon main
headlights – fit ted as standard – sees
the four-spot LED day time running lights
now incorporated into each headlight
unit. These are an innovative technical
feature of the new 911
models – and
a facet of their personality. After all,
it is the characteristic lighting design
that makes the face of the 911
so
unmistakable.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for all functions of the redesigned
taillights. As well as being a powerful
lighting source, LEDs offer a fast response
to driver input. The LED brake lights
emulate the four-spot appearance of the
daytime running lights.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
is available as an option. Its dynamic
cornering light function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
so as to light up more of the road at
bends and turns. Put simply, the road
ahead is illuminated the moment you
start to corner. PDLS also features
speed-sensitive headlight range control
and the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
Superior safety meets sporty design in
the form of optional LED main headlights
including PDLS Plus. In addition to being
efficient and long-lasting, LED technology
also creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.
One special feature of PDLS Plus is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dynamic
main beam function then adapts the

continuous, seamless control means
that you are able to see the course of
the road, pedestrians and potential
hazards earlier without hindering other
road users.

Comfort 87
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
this enhanced version of cruise control
actively regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with the speed of the
vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200  m.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly, the system issues an
audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by
a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation
of targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to
achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide. With the new 911, coasting is now
possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor
the areas to the rear of the vehicle and
the blind spots on either side. Above a
speed of 9 mph, the system issues a
visual warning signal in the door mirror
panel whenever a vehicle rapidly
approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In
this way, Lane Change Assist improves
comfort and safety, particularly on
motorways. However, the system does
not actively intervene to control the
vehicle and can be deactivated at any
time.
ParkAssist.
Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, the system audibly alerts
the driver to the presence of obstacles
detected behind the vehicle. An
intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidit y as the obstacle is approached.
ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to
include monitoring of the front end with
four additional sensors. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display screen, which shows
a graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.
