DFI delivers fuel directly into the combustion
chamber with millisecond precision. The
spray and cone angles of the new multi-
hole injectors have been optimised for
torque, power output, fuel consumption,
emissions and ef ficient combustion.
With direct injection, the engine manage-
ment system regulates injection timing
individually for each cylinder as well as
the injection rate for each cylinder bank.
This optimises the combustion process
and fuel economy. The system first dif ferentiates

bet ween driver inputs that t ypify normal,
everyday driving and those inputs
that demand maximum performance.
The electronic engine management
system then seamlessly adapts valve
operation to the prevailing conditions.
This results in instant acceleration,
extremely smooth running and an
extraordinary level of tractive power,
but with a comparatively low level of
fuel consumption.
For faster heating of the catalytic converters
after a cold start and optimum torque in
the upper load range, up to three injection
pulses take place per combustion cycle.
DFI improves the internal cooling of

the combustion chamber by having the
mixture prepared directly in the cylinder.
This allows for a higher compression
ratio, which helps to deliver more output
at the same time as enhanced engine
efficiency. Injection is regulated by the
electronic engine management system

and emissions are monitored by the
Lambda sensors, thus helping to protect
the environment.
VarioCam Plus System.
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept for adjusting the intake
camshafts and switching the lift of the
intake valves.

PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard in the 911 Carrera S
and available as an option for the
911 Carrera. It actively and continuously
regulates damping forces according
to driving st yle and road conditions.
In addition, the suspension is lowered
by 10 mm.
PASM has t wo modes, which can be
selected using a separate but ton on
the centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a
blend of performance and comfort, and
‘Sport ’ where the setup is much firmer. Sensors record the body movements

that accompany powerful acceleration,
braking or uneven road surfaces. In the
new 911, the number of sensors has
been increased for improved data acqui -
sition and even more ef ficient control
interventions. The PASM control unit eval -
uates the driving conditions and modifies
the damping force on each of the wheels
in accordance with the selected mode.
In ‘Sport ’ mode, the suspension is set to
a harder damper rating. On uneven roads,
PASM immediately switches to a softer rating, thereby improving contact
bet ween the wheels and the road.

When the road surface improves, PASM
automatically reverts to the original,
harder rating. If ‘Normal’ mode is selected
and the driver’s st yle becomes more
assertive, PASM automatically switches
to a harder rating. Damping firms up,
and driving stabilit y and road safet y are
increased.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.
No need to let the laws of physics
spoil your fun.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).PASM sports suspension.
The new PASM sports suspension is
available as an option for both models
in conjunction with 20-inch wheels and
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) or
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The ride height is 20 mm lower than

with the standard suspension or 10 mm
compared with the PASM suspension.
The springs are harder and shorter, and
the anti-roll bars on the front and rear
axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip has
a more sport y geometry, the rear spoiler extends even further. These not only

further reduce lift at the front axle, but
also provide downforce at the rear axle
for improved aerodynamics and even
better performance.

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.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the S model, optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
switch to a harder damping set ting
and offer more direct steering and,
therefore, better road holding.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger thresh -
old for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum 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 gearshif t 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 the
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
re c o rde d s o f a r.
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 new 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. Based on the
engine mounts of the 911 GT3 and
911 Turbo models, it is the first time that they have been available for the

911 Carrera. Even if track racing is
not for you, dynamic engine mounts
make a decisive contribution to dynamic
performance on the road, too.
The electronically controlled system mini -
mises the oscillations and vibrations of the
entire drive train, especially the engine.
The engine is bolted to the body by t wo
mounts. Like any mass, it obeys the law
of inertia. This means that it will continue
moving in a uniformly straight line unless
some force causes it to change direction.
Put more simply: when you are driving
into a bend, the vehicle will follow your
steering but, at first, the mass of the
engine will not. This means that the rear
of the vehicle will ultimately be pushed
out wards as a result of the engine’s
force of inertia.
Dynamic engine mounts minimise
this effect. Steering angle and both
longitudinal and lateral acceleration
are constantly recorded by sensors. The stiffness and damping performance
of the engine mounts adapt to changes
in driving st yle and road surface condi
-
tions, which is achieved by use of a fluid
magnetised in an electrically generated
field. This results in greater traction
and perceptibly more stable handling
under load change conditions and in
fast corners.

5253
Wheels.
On the new 911, the wheels have been
enlarged by one inch over the previous
model. Not only do the larger wheels
improve dynamic performance, they
also look more imposing.
The new 911 Carrera is equipped with
19-inch Carrera wheels as standard. These are light weight alloys featuring

a classic sport y design. Tyre sizes are
235/40 ZR 19 and 285/35 ZR 19 at
the front and rear respectively.
The S model is equipped with light-alloy
20 -inch Carrera S wheels as standard.
The visual effect is sport y and dynamic.
The t yres are slightly wider to cope
with the increased power output of this model: 245/35 ZR 20 at the front,
295/30 ZR 20 at the rear.
The larger t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. The

rolling resistance of the summer t yres
has been reduced by up to 7 % to improve
fuel economy, while t yre weight and dry
braking distances have also been
reduced. A selection of 20-inch wheels is available in
our range of options.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is available
on request. This safet y system sends
warnings to the on-board computer’s
display screen in the event of low t yre
pressure or a gradual or sudden loss
of pressure. The individual pressures
in all four t yres can be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the new 911 models

are equipped with enhanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM), which
maintains stability even at the limits of
dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction,
speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration
of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction
of travel at any given moment. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake differential
(ABD), anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
engine drag torque control (EDC) function.
When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving st yle.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,

for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels)
requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of
driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an
apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit y.

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.

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.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing.

It comprises dimmable LEDs in the door
panels, overhead console, footwells,
ignition lock and rear compartment.

Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sportscars 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 technolo -
gies such as auto start/stop, thermal
management, electrical system recupera -
tion, direct fuel injection, coasting mode
and VarioCam Plus.
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 economic and
ecological reasons. This forms the basis
for achieving low fuel consumption
values in conjunction with outstanding
performance.
It is economical thanks to the high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super- high -strength sheet
steel used. This is substantially more
stable and lighter than conventional steel.
It is also ecological because all materials
used are meticulously selected. We use
only innovative and environmentally friendly
components. All light weight materials are
easily recyclable and each material is labelled to facilitate its separation 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 up to around
95 % recyclable.
In addition, Porsche for the most part
uses 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 already 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.
