Our formula for success could not be more
simple: more ideas per hp. Applied to the
drive system of our cars, this means
greater power output, but lower fuel
consumption.
This formula is also employed by the new
911 Carrera: thanks to their turbocharged
engines offering immediate responsiveness,
considerably more torque and even greater
power output. In other words, huge power
and immediate acceleration, combined with
the high rpm limit and legendary sound of a
911 six-cylinder horizontally opposed
engine.

We’re always searching for the shortest
route. Direction: future. The next gear change is no exception. That ’s why the
7-speed manual transmission is precise and
athletic, just like the optimised Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). Featuring six sporty
gears and a long-ratio seventh gear,

PDK delivers even better figures – for
acceleration and fuel consumption. That ’s
how we interpret efficiency.
You can also rely on peak performance
thanks to new active air intake flaps.
Depending on driving style and manner,
they act to reduce air resistance – or
improve cooling performance. The
intelligent way to get ahead.
How do we defend our position?
By always being one idea ahead.
Drive and efficiency.

SPORT button.
The SPORT button enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is on
either comfort or sporty performance. At
the push of a button, the electronic engine
management system switches the engine
mapping to offer an even sharper response
and engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with PDK, upshifts take place at
higher engine speeds and downshifts
happen sooner. In addition, coasting mode
and the auto start/stop function are
automatically
deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
Adrenaline at the push of a button: the
optional Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts. For an even
sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and
transmission.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder. Four settings are available to
choose from: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS
and Custom, which enable you to adapt the
vehicle to the way you want to drive.
Another few seconds faster.
Under the skin.
High-performance systems.

On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) switches to a sportier damping
setting and offers more direct steering into
corners.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has three additional functions.
The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be
used to achieve the best possible standing
start – a racing start. The second function
is the motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
In this mode, PDK is geared up for extremely
short shift times and optimum shift points
for the maximum acceleration available. The third function is brand new to the 911:
SPORT Response. Pressing the button in
the centre of the mode switch primes the
engine and transmission for the fastest
possible unleashing of power. In other
words, maximum responsiveness – not only
when overtaking.
PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented by
a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM
remaining active in the background. For a
further enhancement to your driving
experience.
