When you know your strengths,
it’s easy to acquire new ones.

The 911 Carrera 4.
One thing is for certain. When it comes to
finding your own strengths, it always
helps to know who you are and where you
come from. Where the 911 is concerned,
we call this Porsche Identit y.
The immense power that is embodied
in this strong identit y is immediately
apparent in the all-wheel-drive
911 Carrera 4. Its Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) converts power
directly into motion. Not in a heav y-
handed way, but intelligently. Among
other variables, sensors monitor the
rotational speeds of all four wheels,
the vehicle’s lateral and longitudinal acceleration and the steering angle. In
this way, the active all-wheel drive can
continually respond to different driving
situations and precisely distribute drive
forces bet ween the front and rear axles.
Tuned to provide poised and balanced
handling during performance driving,
PTM quickly and clearly demonstrates,
especially in the wet and snow, what

we at Porsche understand by traction.
Expressed in simple terms, the
911 Carrera 4 is self-assured. An
assuredness that has been assisted by
engineering and aesthetic details
such as the wider body – the rear wings are 44 mm wider than those of the

911 Carrera – the 295 mm wide rear
tyres, the special air intakes, the
illuminated rear light strip with taillights
and parking light function, and distinctive
side skirts.
One of its inherent strengths is, of course,
its engine: the 3.4-litre, six-cylinder
horizontally opposed power unit delivers
257 kW (350 hp) at 7,400 rpm and
accelerates the 911 Carrera 4 from

0 to 100 km/ h in just 4.9 seconds. Top
speed is 285 km/ h.

Let ’s now bring the power of identit y
to bear on the road. With the aid of the
7-speed manual transmission or the
optional PDK.
Both feature sports ratios
for gears 1 to 6 and a long-ratio 7th
gear for fuel efficiency.
The 911 has many strengths. The
911 Carrera 4, with its superlative
traction, dynamic performance and
safet y, has acquired even more.

Why not take your seat behind the wheel
and make these strengths your own?

Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.

With the hill-
hold function, you can
pull away without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects when
the vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient requiring intervention.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The 911 Carrera models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending
on the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g.
frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort
to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of
impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated not just sooner,
but with even greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models

are equipped as standard with the
Porsche Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP). It comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo airbags on each side. An integral
thorax airbag is located in each seat side
bolster, while the door panels each
contain an upwards-inflating head airbag.
Each thorax airbag has a volume of
10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres,
ensuring excellent protection in the event
of a side impact.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera

Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal even on irregular
road surfaces.
Increased protection is provided by
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system if the car were to
overturn. Two spring-loaded roll-over
bars are neatly incorporated behind
the rear seats. The roll- over sensor
continuously monitors the car’s pitch
and roll, contact with the road, as
well as lateral and longitudinal forces.
If the car were to overturn, the roll- over
bars would be deployed instantly.

ParkAssist (front and rear).
An enhanced version of Park Assist, with
four sensors in the front end, is available
as an option. The audible alert is
supplemented by a visual warning in the
central display screen, which shows a
graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in
t h e 911 Carrera Cabriolet models and
is available as an option for the
9 11 Carrera Coupé models. Featuring
four inconspicuous sensors in the rear
end, the system audibly alerts the driver
to the presence of obstacles detected
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached.
Reversing camera.
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist (front and
rear), and with CDR Plus audio system or
PCM) facilitates precise reverse parking
and manoeuvring. Help is provided in the
form of the camera image and the
dynamic, superimposed guidelines on the
central display screen, which illustrate
the predicted course of the vehicle given
the current position of the steering
wheel.
Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
are fitted as standard. Electrically folding
exterior mirrors with courtesy lighting
on both sides of the vehicle are available
as an option. By illuminating the area
in front of the doors, they make it easier
to find your way in the dark. An auto -
dimming function for the rear-view mirror
and exterior mirrors, with an integrated
rain sensor for the windscreen wipers,
is available as an option.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is available as an option for all
911 Carrera Coupé models. It opens
out wards so that it does not interfere
with headroom. Another advantage of
this special design is the large aperture
for increased driving pleasure under the
open sky. The t wo -position net-t ype wind
deflector protects against draught and
further reduces wind noise.
Glass slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sun -
roof is also available in tinted single -
glazed safet y glass. An integral electric
sunblind provides shade from unwanted
bright light. It is available in five different
colours. The design, headroom and aper -
ture of the glass roof are identical to
those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when closed,
the glass sunroof still gives you that
open- to- the- sky feeling.
