Engines
To give more and take less.
That’s Porsche engineering.

Engines.
You could ask whether the sports car is
still relevant. It would be a good question,
but you might as well ask the same of
dreams.
The answer to both questions lies in the
future or, to be more precise, in the future
of the sports car. In the 911, the future
is already here. The highly efficient, state ­
of­the ­art engines make a considerable
contribution to the comparatively low fuel
consumption, but their sound is still
unmistakably Porsche. The 911 engines are also unmistakably
sport y thanks to the SPORT but ton fit ted
as standard. At the push of a but ton, the
engine becomes tuned for a sharper
response and engine dynamics that are
even more direct.
The 3.4
­litre engine of the 911 Carrera
models demonstrates, therefore, that
performance and efficiency need not be
mutually exclusive. Rather, the downsized
engine capacity and increased maximum
torque are the intelli
gent basis by which
power output can be increased in an
environmentally acceptable and sustain­
able way. Fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions have been reduced by up to
16 % compared with the previous model. In their search for improved efficiency,
our engineers analysed an extensive series
of engine components. Answers were
found, including rapid heating of the
engine and gearbox to normal operating
temperature after an engine start by the
thermal management system, improved
air induction and extremely effective
direct fuel injection (DFI).
The same principle applies to the 3.8 ­litre
engine in the 911 Carrera S models.
There has been no change in displace ­
ment since the previous model, but
power output has been increased while
fuel consumption has been reduced by
up to 15 %. Weight is critical to efficiency. This is

why the engines have a light­alloy
construction, making them lightweight
and yet structurally rigid. The result
is comparatively low fuel consumption
and a long service life.
The engine is the intelligent core of our
identit y. What else could the ‘Dr. Ing.’ in
our company name possibly stand for?
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.

From the start, Porsche has been
synonymous with motorsport. Ever since
1948, when we found our identit y on
the racetrack, we have taken the experi ­
ence we have gained and applied it to
the road. The optional Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine example.
This brake system has already had to
cope with the harshest requirements of
Composure | Safet y
motor racing and is fit ted in cars that
compete in demanding events such as
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The cross ­drilled PCCB ceramic brake
discs for the 911 Carrera have a diame ­
ter of 350 mm front and rear for even
more formidable braking performance. What we’ve discovered from over 30,000 racing victories:
Brake later, finish sooner.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).The use of six ­piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers on the front axle and four ­
piston units at the rear – all finished in
yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Excellent fade resistance
ensures greater balance when slowing
from racetrack speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this

represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence
of this is bet ter road holding and
increased comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y and
improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing, track
day use and other forms of performance
driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
brake pads and discs.
As with conventional high ­performance
braking systems, we recommend that
all brake components be professionally
inspected and replaced where necessary
after every track event.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.

location and destination. Data can be
downloaded to a USB stick and evaluated
on your home PC using the soft ware
supplied. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks
as specified by the German revenue
authorities.

Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the PCM’s integral SIM card reader,
calls can be made using the hands ­free
facility. For even more convenience, the
Bluetooth
® capability of a mobile phone
can be used to make calls via the SIM
Access Profile (SAP).
1) Once automatic
pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s
aerial is switched off to conserve bat tery
charge and the phone operates via the
car aerial. Depending on the mobile phone
Voice control system.
If you require route guidance, need to
make a phone call or want to listen to the
radio, then why not just say so? Almost
all of the functions of PCM can be con ­
trolled using the optional voice control
system with word ­by ­word input. In the
majorit y of cases, you can simply say
the name of the menu item as seen on
the screen. The voice control system
understands complete addresses when
entered as navigation destinations, as
well as phonebook entries and the names
of radio stations. Even lists can be
browsed by voice command. For added
convenience, there is no need to ‘train’
the system.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging on every journey of mileage, model, this gives access not only
to the
numbers on the SIM card, but also to the
phone’s internal memory. Depending on
the phone, it can also be controlled using
PCM, the optional multifunction steering
wheel or the optional voice control system,
without it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also enables you
to establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
1)
PCM acts as a hands ­free system and
you can leave the mobile phone tucked
a w ay.
On request, a cordless handset for the
telephone module is also available. Stored
in the centre console storage compartment,
it features a display and keypad. However,
the handset cannot be used for Bluetooth®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
To enable a Bluetooth® connection for
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP),
1) an optional
mobile phone preparation is available. It
enables you to leave your mobile phone
tucked away. The PCM is able to control
only the basic functions of the mobile
phone. The GSM connection is estab ­
lished through the aerial of the mobile
phone.
1)
TV tuner.
The optional T V tuner is capable of
receiving unencrypted analogue and
digital television broadcasts (DVB ­T)
2)
to provide entertainment bet ween jour ­
neys. For your safet y, the T V picture is
switched off while the car is in motion.
Online services.3)
The free AHA Radio app enables you to
listen to internet radio, news feeds, pod ­
casts and audiobooks on the PCM via
your smartphone. You can also receive
local information, e.g. weather reports,
in the form of
voice announcements.
Points of Interest can be searched for
and then transferred to the navigation
system as destinations.
Internet content
is received via your
smartphone but you
operate every thing from the PCM. Online
services can only be used in conjunction
with the standard ­fitted universal audio
interface (iPhone) or the optional mobile
phone preparation or telephone module
(Android phones). The AHA Radio app can
be obtained from iTunes and the Android
Marketplace.
4)

Motorsport
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.

be extended for certain Porsche Exclusive
equipment.1) May be incompatible with some copy ­protected CDs.2) Only in conjunction with PCM.3) Mobile phone preparation or telephone module in HFP mode: The use of a mobile phone inside a car may cause an increase in the interior electro­
magnetic field strength and, accordingly, in the electromagnetic radiation to which passengers are exposed. If a cradle is used to mount the
mobile phone, the field strength in the passenger compar tment can be reduced because your phone can be connected up to the external aerial
(feature depends on how specific mobile phones connect to the cradle). For information about the availabilit y of a cradle for your mobile phone,
please contact an independent accessories retailer. The use of the telephone module for PCM via Bluetooth
® SAP connection or with inserted
SIM card prevents exposure to electromagnetic radiation as only the car’s external aerial is ever used.
