The sound of a Porsche is a unique
characteristic, and we’re not referring
only to the engine. The optional BOSE
®
Surround Sound System was specially
developed for the 911 and is therefore
perfectly tuned to the car’s specific
interior acoustics.
It has a total output of 445 wat ts and
comprises eight amplifier channels,
12 loudspeakers and a patented integral
100-watt active subwoofer. The combined
effect is a balanced acoustic pat tern that
transforms your 911 into a fast-moving
concert hall.
In combination with the CDR Plus audio
system or Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System enables audio playback
of DVDs and is thus able to make full use
of the impressive sound spectrum of
5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you
can still play other audio sources, such
as CDs and MP3s, in stereo or, at the
push of a but ton, in one of the virtual
surround modes generated by BOSE
®
Centerpoint
® 2. The BOSE
®-patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a micro -
phone to continuously measure the
ambient noise inside the vehicle and
adapts music playback instantly and
automatically so that a consistent sound
is maintained – whatever the driving
conditions.
The result is a powerful sound and
captivating 360° acoustic experience.
Cue the applause.
When you are seeking a sporting challenge,
you need the right soundtrack.

An opera in a world of soap operas.

Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound System.
When t wo iconic German manufacturers
join forces, the result is special. We’re
referring to Porsche and Berlin -based
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high-end audio equip -
ment worldwide, and the Burmester
®
High
-End Surround Sound System. The
technologies behind the system are
based on the finest premium home audio
systems Burmester
® has to offer. The
system owes its eminence to count less
details, and one goal: perfection in
sound.
The system has 12 amplifier channels
with a total output of 821 wat ts,
12 loudspeakers including an active
subwoofer with 300 -wat t class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area
of more than 1,340 cm
2, and a frequency
response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.
In the 911 models, the Burmester
® system
uses the patented integral subwoofer,
which replaces the familiar separate
subwoofer and loudspeaker arrangement
of other systems. This saves weight and
has a beneficial impact on acoustic
performance.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from the
home audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined for
their new installation location and finely
tuned after extensive in-car audio testing.

The t weeters are ribbon-based air
motion transformers (AMT) and ensure
unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction with
excellent level stability. All loudspeaker
housings are perfectly matched and
deliver superior bass foundation, defi -
nition and impulse accuracy. As yet
unequalled in the 911, the result is a
natural and richly textured spatial sound
even at top volume.
The pure, sport y design with galvanised
surrounds and Burmester
® logos on
selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
® High - End
Surround Sound System is as much about the visual as it is the audio. Typically
Porsche.
Cue the encore.

It’s hard to say what has been our most emotional moment on the racetrack.
We have more than 60 years’ worth of them.

Porsche Motorsport.
To be able to call upon more than 60
years of experience as you bat tle for
every hundredth of a second out on the
track – that ’s what Porsche Motorsport is
all about. Our driving force is our teams
– all those people, from driver to
engineer, who work tirelessly on major
racetracks throughout the world to take
us forward. They have been realising and
living one shared dream for generations:
Ferry Porsche’s dream of a car that
could be both victorious on the track and
practical on the road. And from that
dream, more than 30,000 victories have
ensued to date. Victories achieved, for example, with
the Porsche 956 – one of the most
successful race cars of all time. And

with those that continue to show that
same potential, such as the 911 RSR

and the 911 GT3 Cup.
Two race cars that have proven a
success in circuit and endurance events.
As successful as the entire brand,
Porsche Motorsport has so far built more
than 3,000 race cars, over 1,000 of
which are still in use today. They appear
at the lowest amateur levels and line up
at the very pinnacle of the sport, competing in US GT races and in 20 one-
make championships, including the
Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and the
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. New goals
are forever being set, not least for the
reappearance among the international
motorsport elite: in the FIA World
Endurance Championship and its
highpoint, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

An LMP1 race car conceived from the
ground up is set to take to the grid
in the highest class there is with a
view to extending the run of 16 outright
wins at the Sarthe circuit.

For Porsche, however, what mat ters
even more than a place on the winners’
podium is how much experience is
gained, as well as the ideas that the race
inspires. Important findings from the
racetrack are transferred into series
production as design and test principles.
Our exhaust turbocharging or double-
clutch transmission technologies are two
examples. This proximit y bet ween the
racetrack and the road is unique. It lets
every Porsche customer take part in the
race – directly or indirectly. It lets the
customer feel what drives us. Yesterday,
today and tomorrow: Spirit. Vision.
Principle.

GT3 Cup Challenges.
Providing drivers with a route into
semi
-professional motorsport, these
entry-
level races are held in Australia,
Brazil, Central Europe, Great Britain,
Japan, Scandinavia, Switzerland, the
USA, Canada and the Middle East.
Drivers require the relevant national
licence to compete in the races whose
regulations are based on those of
the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
A one-make championship is an
international motorsport event. Since
1993, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
has been held as part of the FIA
Formula One World Championship – and
as the only Gran Turismo race series.
All cars are supported by professional
racing teams, which use t wo to three
racing cars in the championship. The
events take place mainly as part of

the European Grand Prix, with a race
distance of approximately 70 kilo -
metres. The drivers, which include
established personalities alongside
promising new talent, give everything
they have from start to finish. After

all, another prize might just be up for
grabs: a career in GT racing.
Porsche Carrera Cups.
From trailblazer to tradition. The Porsche
Carrera Cups are staged worldwide as
part of the highest ranking national
motorsport series, such as the German
Touring Car Masters (DTM). The tradition
of the Porsche Carrera Cup spans over
20 years and, since the first Porsche
Carrera Cup Germany was staged in
1990, a further seven Porsche Carrera
Cups have become established in France,
Great Britain, Scandinavia, Italy, Japan,
Asia and Australia. Races are held on
almost every weekend of the motorsport
season. The passion to win fuels the fight
for every hundredth of a second: young
upstarts challenge old hands, while
amateurs compete with professionals.
GT sport.
GT cars are pure -bred racing cars. They
must be based on road-
registered sports
cars and modifications are restricted to
specific areas.
In the early 1990s, Porsche was the
driving force behind the renaissance of
international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race-ready
cars and supports private teams with
further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Whether it ’s at the FIA World Endurance
Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans,
the United SportsCar Championship or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners. And, since 2013,
Porsche has once more been competing
for podium finishes in factory champion -
ship races around the world.

Environment
Since 1963, we’ve defined the 911 in terms of sporty performance.
And we’ve scrutinised it daily for its efficiency-enhancing potential.

Porsche and the environment.
We’ve already spoken about our
contribution to motorsport. To be more
precise, about our responsibility for the
future of motorsport. We meet this
responsibility with intelligent technology,
unconventional ideas and optimum
performance.
Our approach to environmental protection
is no different. In an era of intensifying
debate about global climate change and
CO
2 emissions, every automotive manu -
facturer is asking what it has to offer
right now. Our answer has long been the
same: excellent performance at the
same time as greater efficiency. Porsche has managed to reduce fuel

consumption across all model ranges
by a double- digit percentage compared
with the respective previous model even
though performance has been increased.
This is made possible by an efficient
drive concept (e.g. DFI and VarioCam
Plus), lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.
The environmental management team
at the Porsche Development Centre
in Weissach aims to demonstrate a high
level of environmental responsibility.
Here, technological developments are
carried out with environmental protection in mind. The goal is to enhance perfor
-
mance – but, where possible, not at the
expense of the environment. We achieve
this goal with Intelligent Performance, as
epitomised by the 911.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.

Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through
the use of fuel- efficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct fuel
injection, VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction
with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, cataly tic converters
developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitry
controls and monitors each cylinder bank
separately. For each exhaust tract,
oxygen sensors regulate the composition
of the exhaust gas, while another Lambda
sensor on each cylinder bank monitors
pollutant conversion in the respective
catalytic converter.

Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been fundamental to the Porsche identit y
since 1948, for both technical and
ecological reasons. This forms the basis
for achieving low fuel consumption
values in conjunction with outstanding
performance.
On the technical side, we use a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength sheet
steel. The materials used have been
selected for their ability to withstand
load, yet they are considerably lighter
than conventional steel. On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. All synthetic
components are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its separa
-
tion for recycling. The reduction in the
number of plastic variants helps to ensure
more efficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements.
In short, the 911 is around 95 %
recoverable.

In addition, Porsche uses a high propor -
tion of environmentally friendly water-
based paints. For us, environmental
protection does not begin at the end of
a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10 %, e.g. ‘E10’.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance since the plants grown for the
production of this biofuel also absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the
fuel system has been minimised thanks,
in no small part, to the active carbon
filter and the multilayered material from
which the fuel tank is made. All fuel lines
are made from multilayered plastic, steel
or aluminium.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.

Personalisation
To stand out from the crowd,
you need to express individuality.

Personalisation options.
The standard specification of the
911 Carrera models may be second

to none, but Porsche still gives you
the opportunit y to customise your
car to your own taste and to give it
the personalit y needed to make it
unmistakable.
A variet y of customisation options
are available for both the exterior and
the interior. We appreciate that nobody
knows bet ter than you how you wish to
express your identity. You will find more detailed information on
the following pages and in the separate
price list.
These are not the only ways to st yle

your 911 to your personal preference.
How about the personalisation of
your car at the factory through Porsche
Exclusive, or why not consider our
range of aftermarket accessories from
Porsche Tequipment? You will find plenty
of inspiring ideas in all the relevant catalogues and your Porsche Centre will
be happy to advise you.
There are many ways to explore your
own direction. The Porsche identit y will
never be given an order number, but
there is a number by which it will forever
be epitomised: 911.
