Exterior design
The modified vehicle architecture, with
a wider track at the front axle and the
lower roof line, gives the front of the new
911 a dynamic appearance that is sport y
and elegant. Fit ted as standard, the new
Bi-Xenon headlights still have the familiar
oval-shaped surrounds for classic appeal
and reveal their technically impressive
inner workings. The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) with dynamic

cornering lights and speed-sensitive
headlight control logic is available
as an option.
The direction indicators, daytime running
lights and position lights are all LEDs and
are integrated into the separate front light
units. Their slimline design contrasts with that of the rounded headlights. Together
with the two integral air intakes, they make
the front of the new 911 unmistakable.
At the rear, every thing feels sharper: the
styling, the appearance and the effect.
This is due not least to the distinctive
profile edge and new LED taillights, their
stretched design accentuating the horizontal contouring of the rear.

The characteristic reflector units have
been positioned lower down but are
still recognisable, particularly at night.
The stainless-steel tailpipes have been
rest yled for both models. On the
911 Carrera S, twin tailpipes are fitted on
both sides. One new feature is the wider, extendable rear spoiler, which reduces

lift in all driving situations and increases
driving stability.
The 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S
are equipped as standard with 19-inch
and 20-inch wheels respectively. One inch
larger than those of the previous model,
they enhance the sport y presence of the new 911 and their increased

rolling circumference improves both
comfort and performance.
In summary, form always follows
function. As a design principle, it
couldn’t be more simple, but it ’s
what makes the 911 a 911.
It ’s also how we have managed to achieve
a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29.
Even the logo on the rear has an important
function to perform. It is, after all, the
hallmark of the Porsche identity.

| The new 911 Carrera
Meetings, conferences, business lunches.
How about some leisure in between?

The new 911 Carrera.
In the 21st century, we find ourselves
caught bet ween all kinds of opposites on
a daily basis: bet ween the demands of
our work life and our private life, between
the real world and virtual realit y. How can
they all be reconciled? With a strong iden -
tit y and a sportscar that has incorporated
many contradictory notions since 1963.
Sportiness and everyday practicality are
a prime example. The new 911 Carrera is
equipped as standard with direct fuel
injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus for high
power, high torque, ef ficient combustion
and, as a result, comparatively low fuel
consumption. Tradition and innovation blend seamlessly
together in the new rear-mounted 3.4-litre
flat-six engine thanks to its downsized
capacity. Despite the reduced displace
-
ment, the engine is capable of delivering
even more power to the road than its
3.6-litre predecessor.
The figures speak for themselves.
The maximum power of 257 kW (350 hp)
is available at 7,400 rpm and the maxi -
mum torque of 390 Nm is generated at
5,600 rpm. Yet, in conjunction with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), fuel con -
sumption and CO
2 emissions have been
reduced by 16 %. Even more im pres
sively,
the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h
(0 to 62 mph) in 4.8 seconds and reaches
a top speed of 289 km/ h (179 mph).
The new 911 Carrera generates powerful
forces, which are transmit ted precisely
and directly to the wheels by the new
7-speed manual gearbox. As with the
optional PDK, gears 1 to 6 have a sports
ratio, while 7th gear has a long ratio for
reduced fuel consumption. The SPORT
but ton, which is fit ted as standard, makes
it possible to select an even more respon -
sive engine and transmission setup.
In terms of form and function, the new
single tailpipes are especially imposing
and emit a sound which is t ypically Porsche. The 19-inch Carrera wheels are
fit ted as standard and improve driving
stability and performance.
Sportscar technology as standard, in

the form of black four-piston monobloc
aluminium fixed calipers, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) and Bi-Xenon head -
lights, shows that sportiness and safety
are not mutually exclusive.
Sport, moderation, everyday practicality
and st yle. Four key themes, one unifying
concept: the 911 Carrera.
911 Carrera: fuel consumption in l/100 km (mpg) urban 12.8 (22.1) –11.2 (25.2) · extra urban 6.8 (41.5) – 6.5 (43.5) · combined 9.0 (31.4) –8.2 (34.4);

| The new 911 Carrera S
Its identity emerged on the racetrack.
Its home is on the road.

The new 911 Carrera S.
Nothing defines us more than our heritage.
It says a lot about who we are. This is
particularly true of the new 911 Carrera S,
which has all the characteristics you would
expect of a sportscar 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 maximum torque
of 440 Nm is achieved at 5,600 rpm. In
conjunction with the manual gearbox, the
sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) is
completed in just 4.5 seconds. Top speed
isn’t reached until 304 km/ h (188 mph).
On figures alone, the new 911 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency.
Fuel consumption and CO
2 em issio ns
have been reduced by 14 % compared
with the previous model. This has been
possible thanks to the auto start /stop
function, which is available as standard,
and the coasting function in conjunction
with the optional Porsche Doppelkupp -
lung (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 sport y

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.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),
the active roll stabilisation system, is
available as an option and improves agility,
comfort and safet y. On the subject of safet y, the brakes at
the front of the new 911 Carrera S come
equipped for the first time with monobloc
fixed calipers with six instead of four

pistons for improved braking performance
and a shorter braking distance. Bi-Xenon
headlights are standard and the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is available
as an option.
There is no doubt. The new 911 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them with
efficiency, power and sporty performance.
911 Carrera S: fuel consumption in l/100 km (mpg) urban 13.8 (20.5) –12.2 (23.2) · extra urban 7.1 (39.8) – 6.7 (42.2) · combined 9.5 (29.7) –8.7 (32.5);

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 ef fi-
cient drive systems. The same applies on
the road. It ’s about get ting the most out
of what you’ve got. 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,
extreme outside temperatures, when the
SPORT but ton is selected or if bat tery
charge is low. It is also possible to deacti -
vate the function manually using a
separate but ton on the centre console.
Thermal management.
The new 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 new 911 models are also equipped
as standard with fuel-saving electrical
system recuperation technology.
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.
Temperament | Engines
Auto start/stop function.
The auto start/stop function is standard
in the new 911 models.
In cars with the manual gearbox, the
engine switches off automatically when,
for example, you stop at traffic lights,

Electric parking brake.
The new 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 for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in the
opposite direction.
Airbags.
The new 911 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 far sooner and
with considerably greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
The 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S 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 the seat backrests, 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.

The 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S are
both equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon
headlights including a headlight cleaning
system and dynamic range control.

With dipped or main beam, the road
ahead is illuminated more uniformly.
The rest yled LED front light units
incorporate direction indicators, daytime -
running lights and position lights.
Both 911 models come with automatic
headlight activation. The moment it gets
dark, the daytime running lights switch
off and the dipped beam headlights
switch on automatically. Cut ting edge LED technology is also used
for the taillights, the high-level third brake
light, the licence plate illumination, the
rear direction indicators and the rear fog
light. LEDs provide bet ter illumination and
respond more quickly to driver input.
In the event of sudden braking, the adaptive
LED brake lights begin to pulsate. If the
vehicle is braked to a halt, the hazard
warning lights will switch on automatically,
alerting following traf fic more quickly to

a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automatic
switch-off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function. It ’s good to know what ’s around
the next corner or on the way to your
front door.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option for both
models.
Its dynamic cornering light function
swivels the headlights towards the inside
of a bend, based on steering angle and road speed, in order to illuminate more
of the road at tight bends and turns.

Put simply, the road ahead is illuminated
the moment you enter a bend.
The system also of fers speed -sensitive
headlight range control. With adaptive
light systems, it is possible for the maxi -

the vehicle. PDLS takes care of this
automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage 2 is designed for
driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 130 km/ h (80 mph),
the range is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse
weather function, activated whenever the
rear fog light is switched on. It reduces
the effect of reflection phenomena in
poor visibilit y conditions to avoid the risk
of the driver being dazzled.

Sports seats.
The Sports seats in partial leather

are comfortable and provide support
even during performance driving.
They are equipped as standard with
electric seat height and backrest
adjustment and mechanical fore/aft
adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer fully electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab angle,
sq ua b dept h, fore/a f t posi t io n, 4 - way
lumbar support and even the steering
column.
The integrated memor y package supports
the exterior mirrors and all seat positions
on the driver’s side as well as set tings for
the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air
conditioning, door locks, optional PCM,
and instrument cluster.

Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side
bolsters on the squab and backrest
have a firmer, sportier padding and offer
even bet ter lateral support. The backrest
shell is finished in Silver Grey.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport
and comfort. Finished in leather and
with side bolsters having a firm, sport y
padding, they also feature shoulder
supports for the best possible hold.
Of fering 18 -way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and 4-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable.

In addition, the side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest are independently
adjustable for added comfort on long
journeys and precision lateral support
on winding roads. Also included is the
personal memory for all seat positions
(apart from the side bolsters) and lumbar
support on the driver’s side as well as
the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instru
-
ment cluster.

The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we can
equip the seats with seat ventilation on
request. A slipstream effect is produced
by active ventilation of the perforated
seat centre and backrest and by passive
aeration at the side bolsters. This evapo -
rates perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably comfortable
for a sportscar and the shelf behind
offers additional storage space. The back -
rests fold as standard to offer a generous
205 litres of luggage space in the rear.
Child seats.
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.

| Comfor t
Climate control.
Both 911 models feature t wo -zone auto
-
matic climate control as standard with an
enhanced ventilation effect and separate
temperature controls for the driver and
front passenger. The available air condi -
tioning modes are gentle, normal and
strong.
An active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an automatic
air-recirculation function permanently
monitors air quality, reduces humidity
and switches from fresh to recirculated
air when required. A demister function keeps the windows
clear in cold weather. In warmer weather,
a solar sensor helps the climate control

to detect strong sunlight and automatically
compensate for the comfort of both the
driver and front passenger.
HomeLink®
(programmable garage door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door opener
integrated into the overhead console.
At the push of a but ton, it controls up
to three different garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
For convenience, particularly at night, the
‘Welcome Home’ lighting function auto -
matically switches on the LED day time
running lights for a defined period
whenever the vehicle is opened or closed
using the key remote.
A customisable delayed switch - of f timer
keeps the daytime running lights, the
taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
Cruise control.
This automatic speed control function
is available as an option. For greater
driver comfort on long stretches of road,
cruise control operates in the 30 –240 km/ h
(18–149 mph) speed range and is activated
using a but ton on the steering column
control stalk.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.ParkAssist.
The optional Park Assist features 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 warn -
ing tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached.
An enhanced version of Park Assist,
with four sensors in the front end, is
available on request. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning
in the central display screen, which
shows a graphical representation of
the vehicle from overhead.
