Porsche Sport Driving School.
At Porsche, we are working not only
on the evolution of the sports car, but
also on the development of the drivers.
Safe driving on the road may be second
nature, but what about mastering control
of a sports car at the limits of sport y performance? We will help you to

perfect your driving safet y as well as
your advanced skills and techniques
step by step.
Under the supervision of our experienced
Porsche instructors in your own car
or in one provided by the Porsche Sport Driving School, you can refine your ability
on-road or off-road, on international

racetracks or on ice or snow. We will be
by your side from the start and, if it is
your aim, we will accompany you through
every training level on the way to obtain -
ing your motorsport licence. To find out more,

please call 08443 575 911

Porsche Sports Cup.
In 2011, the Porsche Sports Cup began
its seventh season. Six events on five
racetracks, including the Nürburgring,
Hockenheimring and Spa-Francorchamps,
deliver exhilarating excitement. Various
t ypes of race are open for entry.
From regularity rallies to sprints, you can

compete in the Porsche Sports Cup by
bringing your own road-approved Porsche
or a Porsche that has been race-modified.

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 contribu -
tion 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.

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 - ef ficient 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, newly developed
cataly tic converters provide ef ficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitr y
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

cataly tic converter.

Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent light weight 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 ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements.
In short, the new 911 is around 95 %
recyclable.
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 new
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.

2 emissions please refer to page 129.
