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.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.

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, new cataly tic convert ­
ers developed for the 911 provide efficient
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 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 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.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.

The first time that you drive your new
Porsche will be a truly special moment.
Nevertheless, you can make it even more
special with Porsche factory collection.
Come and collect your Porsche in
Stut tgart ­Zuffenhausen or Leipzig and
be the one to take it to its right ful place:
on the road.
Before this, we invite you behind the
scenes of the Porsche production
process. As part of a guided factory
tour, you will see how much passion and precision goes into every thing we
do. You can then take time to reflect on
your experience over a leisurely lunch
and look forward to the high point of

the day: taking delivery of your Porsche.
Our specialists will take their time to
explain everything about your new car
in as much detail as you wish.
That leaves you with just one more
thing to decide: from which factory
to collect your Porsche? Stut tgart ­
Zuffenhausen is steeped in tradition and history. Here, you can visit the

Porsche Museum to experience and
learn about every aspect of the Porsche
marque, with legendary models from a
sports car history spanning over 60 years.
Or, if you would prefer your factory
collection to be a lit tle more on the
sport y side, visit our production location
in Leipzig. Your first driving experience
will be a test drive in a Porsche model
identical to the one you purchased
and under the expert supervision of one
Factory collection
of our instructors. Hone your skills
on ­road on the FIA ­certified test circuit
or off ­road in a Porsche off ­roader on
our very own off ­road track.
If you do opt for the factory collection,
please contact your Porsche Centre
to arrange a collection date. We will be
happy to assist in the planning of your
trip. You will also be given information
on the formalities, legal or otherwise,
to be completed before you can take
de l i ve r y.
