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.

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.

In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important inter face bet ween
the driver and the sportscar. This is
why all available steering wheels feature
a high-grip steering wheel rim in smooth-
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full -size airbag is integrated
as st a n d a rd .SportDesign steering wheel.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel
is adjustable for both height and reach
and, thanks to its grip mouldings, it’s
in safe hands – even on the sportiest
of drives.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 40 mm for
height and up to 60 mm for reach.
The optional multifunction steering
wheel has four function but tons and t wo thumbwheels for convenient operation
of audio, telephone and navigation
functions, TFT display and on-board
computer. On request, the steering
wheel is available in smooth-finish leather,
Aluminium Look, carbon or macassar. In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to
change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module to
inform you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated.

In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshif t paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
lef t- and right- hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle and PDK shifts down. When PDK has
been combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the left- and right-hand
spokes additionally feature a display
that tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated. Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as
an option for the sports steering wheel
and multifunction steering wheels
(only in conjunction with seat heating).
The heating is operated by a but ton
on the rear of the lower steering wheel
spoke.
