Many legends look to the past.
This one looks to the future.

T h e 9 11 .
It ’s time to look forward. Because,
traditionally, the 911 has always had
an eye to the future.
Our own engineering tradition is evident
from the ‘Dr. Ing.’ in our company name.
Also from our racing victories, now
totalling more than 30,000. Not only
more feats of heroism, but responsibilit y
for the future of the sports car and for
the environment. Then there is the 911’s
reputation as an iconic sports car.
However, this reputation means nothing
unless we continue to breathe new life
into old ideas. For us, heritage and future
are inseparably linked. Of course, we
could simply have made a capable sports car, but this wouldn’t have been a
Porsche, and certainly not a 911.
Our identit y is the 911. This is also, and
especially, true in the 21st century.
Instantly recognisable and originally
engineered for the racetrack, it continues
to stir the emotions today, just as it did
i n 19 6 3.
Yet, is that enough to move forward?
Above all, is it enough for you? Don’t we
need to break the stranglehold of
tradition once in a while before it one day
stifles innovation altogether? We believe
that the answer is ‘yes’. This is our
approach to the preservation of tradition. It is precisely how we respond to the
passion for the sports car and do justice
to the 911 legend – and always with
tomorrow in mind.
We have achieved this with a future-
oriented design, with engines that
consume comparatively little but deliver

a considerable amount of power, with
efficiency-enhancing technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management
and electrical system recuperation,
with intelligent lightweight construction,
with an innovative hood concept on the
Cabriolet models, with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) active all-wheel
drive, and with an interior that combines sophisticated ergonomics and sporty
comfor t.
All of that is what defines us. In short, it
is the way in which we combine tradition
and innovation, performance and every
-
day practicality, form and function. For
us, these are not contradictions, but our
moti vation. We are referring to Intelligent
Performance.
Our identit y can be accurately described
by many words. And three digits.

Its identity emerged on the racetrack.
Its home is on the road.

The 911 Carrera S.
Nothing defines us more than our heritage.
It says a lot about who we are. This is
particularly true of the 911 Carrera S,
which has all the characteristics you would
expect of a sports car whose origin is
in motorsport.
An elementary component of its DNA,
therefore, is power in the form of a 3.8-
litre engine with direct fuel injection (DFI)
and VarioCam Plus. It delivers 294 kW
(400 hp) at 7,400 rpm, and the maxi-
mum torque of 440 Nm is achieved
at 5,600 rpm. In conjunction with
the manual gearbox, the sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h is completed in a
mere 4.5 seconds. Top speed isn’t
reached until 304 km/ h.
On figures alone, the new 911 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
This is made possible by the auto start /
stop function, which is available as
standard, and the coasting function

in conjunction with optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK).
It ’s not difficult to tell where the
911 Carrera S comes from. You can hear
it in the resonant engine sound and you
can see it in the t win tailpipes in brushed
stainless steel and 20 -inch Carrera S
wheels.
You can also feel it, thanks to Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
which is fit ted as standard, or the optional
PASM sports suspension with even
sportier aerodynamics and the ride height
lowered by 20 mm. Or the optional
Sport Chrono Package and dynamic
engine mounts. Available as standard,
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), or

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
in conjunction with the optional PDK,
increase traction and driving stability.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),
the active roll stabilisation system, is
available as an option and improves
agility, comfort and safety.
On the subject of safet y, the brakes at
the front of the 911 Carrera S come
equipped with monobloc fixed calipers with six, instead of four, pistons for
improved braking performance and a
shorter braking distance. Bi-Xenon
headlights are standard, while the
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
and LED main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS
+
) are available as options.
There is no doubt. The 911 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them
with efficiency, power and sport y
performance.

Switchbacks, hairpins, zigzags, S-bends...
There are countless reasons for having intelligent all-wheel drive.

The 911 Carrera 4S.
Steadfastness. Another apparent Porsche
contradiction. But whilst it ’s true that
sports cars are all about movement,
about surging forwards, it ’s even more
important to stay calm at all times,

to act with composure and never rashly.
So it ’s reassuring that you can rely

on the handling characteristics of the
911 Carrera 4S.
The Porsche Traction Management

(PTM) active all-wheel- drive system is
particularly dependable, especially

when driving the car at the limits of
performance. To achieve this, our
engineers have travelled right to the
physical boundaries – and extended

them. PTM now ensures that the car is poised and balanced, and really comes
into its own when adopting a sport y
driving st yle or travelling in extreme
weather conditions.
At the rear, the car is the personification
of roadholding, with its 44 mm wider
body and broader track by comparison
with the rear-wheel- drive 911 Carrera
models, and with road-hugging 305 mm
wide rear wheels. The seamless
horizontal taillight strip continues the
same st yling language. The all-wheel-
drive model is also recognisable from

the front, thanks to its dynamically
accentuated cooling air intakes in the
front end.
Though the car is practically at one with
the ground, it cannot keep still. This is
unsurprising when it is powered by a

3.8-litre engine developing 294 kW
(400 hp) at 7,400 rpm. When combined
with optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), this power unit can accelerate the
car to 100 km/ h in a mere 4.3 seconds.
And continue up to a maximum speed of
297 km/ h.
Nevertheless, the 911 Carrera 4S
demonstrates that this level of
performance needn’t come at the
expense of fuel consumption and CO2
emissions. Fuel-efficient technologies,
such as electrical system recuperation,

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.
S trength | The 911 Carrera 4S
auto start/stop – both integrated as
standard – and the ‘coasting’ function of
PDK, prove that Porsche is continually
resolving conflicting aims by means of
Intelligent Performance.
Where safety is concerned, the mono -
bloc fixed brake calipers at the front of
the S models have six pistons instead
of four, whilst the brake pads are 10 %
larger. The result is even shorter braking
distances. Proof that, at Porsche, safet y
is an integral part of performance, not its
polar opposite.
Steadfast through and through.
Corner after corner.

A widely held belief about motorsport is
that power is the only thing that mat ters.
From experience, we know bet ter. Extra
horsepower alone has never been enough
to win a single race. Much more important
to us are ideas – ideas that inspire more
intelligent vehicle concepts and more
efficient drive systems. The same applies
on the road. It ’s about get ting the most
out of what you’ve got.
Auto start/stop function.
The auto start/stop function is standard
in the 911 Carrera models.
In cars with the manual gearbox, the
engine switches off automatically
when, for example, you stop at traffic
lights, select neutral and release
the clutch pedal. In cars with Porsche
Doppel kupplung (PDK), the engine
switches off whenever you stop and
leave your foot on the brake pedal.
All audio and communication systems
remain switched on and the climate con -
trol continues to maintain your selected
temperature. The only differences you
will notice are the silence at the rear and
the fuel saving. As soon as you operate
the clutch or release the brake, the
engine will restart swiftly and smoothly. The auto start/stop function may remain
inactive under particular circumstances,
for example: extreme outside tempera
-
tures, when the SPORT but ton is selected
or if bat tery charge is low. It is also pos -
sible to deactivate the function manually
using a separate but ton on the centre
console.
Thermal management.
The thermal management system
regulates the temperature in the engine
and gearbox through the intelligent
manipulation of heat flow.
In this way, the engine and gearbox reach
their optimum operating temperature
sooner. As a result, fuel consumption is
reduced through increased combustion
efficiency and lubrication performance.
Electrical system recuperation.
The 911 Carrera models are also
equipped as standard with fuel-saving
electrical system recuperation tech -
nology. The vehicle bat tery is recharged
by the alternator predominantly under
braking. Under acceleration, on the other
hand, the power draw of the alternator
is limited to increase the engine output
available for driving. The electrical
systems are supplied by the electrical
energy stored during the recharging
process.

SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the SPORT but ton
enables you to select a suspension setup
where the emphasis is on either comfort
or sport y 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 Porsche Doppelkupplung
(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.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available
as an option. This integrated system
provides simultaneous enhancement for
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop -
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.

Additional performance enhancement systems.Electromechanical power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency
is a system that works only when it is
needed, and then does so in a particularly
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our
engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis-

tics show that a car drives in a straight
line 90 % of the time. Unlike conventional
hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses
energy only when the steering wheel is
actually turned. The absence of hydraulic
fluid also makes the system more
bene ficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10 % is concerned, we’re
optimally prepared as the steering system
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable
steering ratio and responds sensitively
and directly at the same time as providing
customary agilit y, a high level of comfort
and precisely selected feedback from the
road. Our definition of efficient.
Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the comfort-enhancing
power steering system, is available as an
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible,
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer-
ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds,
the steering ratio of Power steering Plus
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.

| Chassis and body
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the 911 Carrera S models,
optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC) switch to a harder
damping set ting and offer more direct
steering and, therefore, better
roadholding. In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised. Agilit y is
perceptibly enhanced when braking for
corners with PSM, allowing sportier
braking and exit acceleration. For even
greater dexterit y, PSM can be set to
standby while the car is still in
SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y, it is
set to intervene automatically only

when ABS assistance is required on both
the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions for a sport y drive that borders
on a motorsport experience. The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used

on the track to achieve the best
possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy’. Using this,
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared
up for extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for the maximum
acceleration available. This combination
of uncompromising and involving perfor-

mance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with
optional PCM, a special performance
display enables you to view, store and
evaluate lap times or other driving times.
It shows the total driving time, lap
distance, lap number and lap times
recorded so far.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package
borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic
engine mounts. These exploit the laws
of physics for your own driving pleasure.
Dynamic engine mounts.
You don’t have to take the 911 onto the
racetrack. But you can, more so than
ever, because dynamic engine mounts
are now included as part of the Sport
Chrono Package.
The electronically controlled system
minimises the oscillations and vibrations
of the entire drivetrain, especially
the engine, and combines the benefits
of a hard or soft engine mounting
arrangement.
A hard engine mounting delivers optimum
dynamic performance because it offers
the highest degree of handling precision
possible. Soft engine mounts, on the
other hand, minimise oscillations and
vibrations. While comfort is improved on
uneven road surfaces, this comes at
the expense of dynamic performance. Our engineers have solved this problem
by enabling the engine mounts to adapt
their stiffness and damping properties to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. This has been achieved by
use of a fluid with magnetic properties in
interaction with an electrically generated
field. For the driver, the results are tangi-

ble. Handling is perceptibly more stable
under load change conditions and in
fast corners. Whenever a less assertive
driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
engine mounts provide a higher level of
comfor t.

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.
