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

The 911 Carrera S.
Nothing defines us more than our heritage.
It says a lot about who we are. This is
particularly true of the 9 11 Carrera S,
which has all the characteristics you would
expect of a sports car 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 62 mph is completed in
just 4.5 seconds. Top speed isn’t reached
until 188 mph.
On figures alone, the 9 11 Carrera S
excels, particularly in terms of efficiency.
Fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions
have been reduced by 15 % 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 even
sportier 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 and driving stability.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),
the active roll stabilisation system, is
available as an option and improves
agility, comfort and safety. On the subject of safet y, the brakes at
the front of the 911 Carrera S come
equipped with monobloc fixed calipers
with six instead of four pistons for im
­
proved braking performance and a
shorter braking distance. Bi ­Xenon head ­
lights are standard and the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is available
as an option.
There is no doubt. The 9 11 Carrera S
knows its roots, and embraces them with
efficiency, power and sporty performance.

Temperament

| Chassis and body
PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard in the 911 Carrera S
models and available as an option for
the 911 Carrera models. 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
911, the number of sensors has been
increased for improved data acquisition
and even more ef ficient control interven­
tions. The PASM control unit evaluates
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 PASM sports suspension is available
as an option for the 911 Carrera Coupé
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.

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 sports car. 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,
carbon or mahogany. 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.
SportDesign steering wheel
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 right­hand
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.
The heating is operated by a but ton
on the rear of the lower steering wheel
spoke.

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.
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 the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air

conditioning, door locks, PCM, and
instrument cluster.
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,
have a firmer, sportier padding and offer
even bet ter lateral support. The backrest
shell is finished in Silver Grey.
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, fou r ­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
fore/aft adjustment and four ­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, PCM, and instrument cluster.
Sports bucket seats.*
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass ­ and carbon­fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.

Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option
for all seats (except for sports bucket
seats). Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats,
the side bolsters.
The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.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 comforta ­
ble for a sports car and the shelf behind
offers additional storage space. With
the backrests folded down, the luggage
compartment volume in the 911 Carrera
Coupé models increases to 260 litres
and, with a capacit y of 160 litres availa ­
ble, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models
offer plent y of space for luggage, too.
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.
