An opera in a world of soap operas.


Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound System.
When t wo iconic German manufacturers
join forces, the result is special. We’re
referring to Porsche and Berlin ­based
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high ­end audio equip ­
ment worldwide, and the Burmester
®
High ­End Surround Sound System.
The technologies behind the system are
based on the finest premium home audio
systems Burmester
® has to offer.
The system owes its eminence to count ­
less details, and one goal: perfection
in sound.
The system has 12 amplifier channels
with a total output of more than 821 wat ts,
12 loudspeakers including an active
subwoofer with 300­wat t class D

amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area
of more than 1,340 cm², and a frequency
response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.
For the first time in a 911, Burmester
®
has introduced the patented integral
subwoofer, which replaces the familiar
separate subwoofer and loudspeaker
arrangement of other systems. This saves
weight and has a beneficial impact on
acoustic performance.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from the
home audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined for
their new installation location and finely
tuned af ter extensive in ­car audio testing. The t weeters are ribbon
­based air motion
transformers (AMT) that have been
designed specifically for the 911. For
unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted
high ­frequency sound reproduction with
excellent level stability. All loudspeaker
housings are perfectly matched and deliver
superior bass foundation, definition and
impulse accuracy. As yet unequalled
in the
9 11, the result is a natural and
richly textured spatial sound even at

top volume.
The pure, sport y design with galvanised
surrounds and Burmester
® logos on
selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
® High ­End
Surround Sound System is as much about the visual as it is the audio.

Typically Porsche.
Cue the encore.

It’s hard to say what’s been our most emotional moment on the racetrack.
We have more than 60 years’ worth of them.

Motorsport.
To be able to call upon more than 60 years
of experience as you bat tle for every
hundredth of a second out on the track –
that ’s what Porsche Motorsport is all
about. Our driving force is our teams –
all those people, from driver to engineer,
who work tirelessly on racetracks
throug
h
out the world to take us forward.
They have been realising and living one
shared dream for generations: Ferry
Porsche’s dream of a car that could be
both victorious on the track and practical
on the road. And from that dream,
more than 30,000 victories have ensued
to date. Victories achieved, for example, with

the Porsche 956 – one of the most suc ­
cessful race cars of all time. And with
those
that continue to show that same
potential,
such as the 911 GT3 RSR and
the 911 GT3 Cup.
Both are race cars that have been
successful in circuit races, endurance
races, hill climbs and even in rallies.
As successful, in fact, as the brand as
a whole. To date, Porsche Motorsport
has built more than 3,000 race cars,
over 1,000 of which are still in use today. They enter amateur and top
­class racing
events, including the American Le Mans
Series and the one ­make championships,
of which there are more than 19, the
Porsche Carrera Cup and the Porsche
Mobil 1 Supercup being just t wo. What­
ever the race, there are always new
goals in mind. Take, for instance, the
Le Mans 24 Hour race in 2014. That race
will see a prototype, designed complete ­
ly from scratch, line up at the start, aim ­
ing to continue the series of 16 overall
victories enjoyed so far at Sarthe. For Porsche, what ’s even more important
than a place on the podium is the experi
­
ence acquired from racing. And the ideas
and visions that come out of that experi ­
ence. All knowledge gained on the race ­
track will get transferred as either design
or test principles to our road cars. Just
like the exhaust gas turbocharger and
double ­clutch transmission technology
did, for instance. This close relationship
be t ween the racetrack and the road is
unique and allows every Porsche custom ­
er to participate – directly or indirectly –
in the racing experience. It lets them get
a feel for what drives us. Yesterday, today
and tomorrow: Spirit. Principles. Vision.

GT-Sp o r t .
GT cars are pure ­bred racing cars.
They must be based on road ­registered
sports cars and modifications are
restricted to specific areas. In the early 1990s, Porsche was the

driving force behind the renaissance
of international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race ­ready cars and supports private teams with

further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Whether it ’s in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the
ALMS, the International GT Open or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners.
Porsche one-make championships.
Porsche racing drivers are able to indulge
their passion for motorsport in 20
Porsche one ­make championships on
five continents. The philosophy is one of
equal opportunities and fairness through the use of technically identical racing
cars. The result is fiercely contested sprints of the highest standard.

Based directly on the 911 GT3 RS,
911 GT3 Cup cars compete in races
as part of high ­level racing events. At each Porsche one
­make championship,
Porsche supplies the cars to private teams
in race ­ready condition and organises
the race series and provides support for
the drivers, teams and sponsors from
its trackside position.
Porsche GT ­Sport Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Germany is the
forerunner of all the current one­make
championships in the world. As a partner
series to the DTM (German Touring Car
Masters) – the most prominent touring
car series in Germany – it offers an
abundance of motorsport thrills and
an extremely attractive programme
of events.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is the
world’s fastest international one ­make
race series. With 11 races in total and an
average spectatorship of over 100,000,
it is held as part of the supporting
programme of the FIA Formula One World
Championship.

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.

Personalisation
To stand out from the crowd,
you need to express individuality.

Personalisation options.
The standard specification of the
911 Carrera models may be second
to none, but Porsche still gives you
the opportu nit y to customise your car
to your own taste and to give it the per ­
sonality needed to make it unmistakable.
A variet y of customisation options
is available for both the exterior and
the interior. We appreciate that nobody
knows bet ter than you how you wish to
express your identit y.
You will find more detailed information on
the following pages and in the separate
price list.
These are not the only ways to st yle
your
9 11 to your personal preference.
How about the personalisation of
your car at the factory through Porsche
Exclusive, or why not consider our
range of af termarket accessories from
Porsche Tequipment? You will find plenty
of inspiring ideas in all the relevant catalogues and your Porsche Centre will
be happy to advise you.
There are many ways to explore your
own direction. The Porsche identit y will
never be given an order number, but
there is a number by which it will forever
be epitomised:
9 11.
