Let’s forget the future for a moment.
As we discover it in the present.

Engineering.
What use is the engineering of tomorrow
when it can be found on the road today?
None. So let ’s turn to the here and now.
The engines, as you would expect, are
characterised by six horizontally opposed
cylinders. The 3.4 ­litre engine in the
911 Carrera models produces 257 kW
(350 hp); in the 911 Carrera S models,
the 3.8 ­litre engine develops 294 kW
(400 hp). All variants are equipped with
direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam
Plus for increased power and compara ­
tively low fuel consumption. Power is transmit ted to the wheels by the
7
­speed manual gearbox with the highest
gear designed specifically with fuel econ ­
omy in mind or, optionally, by efficiency ­
enhanced Porsche Doppel kupplung (PDK),
which offers gear changes with no inter ­
ruption in the flow of power.
On the 911 Carrera all ­wheel ­drive
models, the enhanced Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) distributes the power
to the wheels according to weather and
road conditions. Handling is even more
poised, particularly when the car is being
driven to its limits. As a result, you are
safer not just in the wet and snow, but
also when adopting a sport y driving st yle.
The chassis is also packed with forward ­
looking technology. Fitted as standard
in the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera S
Cabriolet, Porsche Torque Vectoring
(PTV) increases dynamic performance.
Available as an option for the S models,
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
improves dynamic performance further
still. Dynamic engine mounts, available
as an option for all models, provide per ­
ceptibly more precise handling – and
not just when cornering.
The 911 has a light weight composite
construction in aluminium and steel.
Used extensively and in just the right
places, lightweight aluminium improves fuel economy and dynamic performance
and helps to achieve an excellent weight
to power ratio of 4.7 kg / kW (3.5 kg / hp)

for the 911 Carrera S, for example.
The future of the sports car begins now.

| 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, there­
fore, 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
sport­
ier aerodynamics and the ride height low ­
ered 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 con ­
junction with the optional PDK, increase
traction and driving stability. Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), the ac ­
tive roll stabilisation system, is available
as an option and improves agilit y, com ­
fort and safet y. 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 short ­
er braking distance. Bi ­Xenon headlights
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.

“That can’t be done.”
If ever a sentence gave motivation to sports car designers, this is it.

Chassis and body.
A solid identit y tends to be described
with words like stability, directness or
substance. This might sound a lit tle
serious but, when it comes to the chassis
and body, we think that this is entirely
the right approach.
The best example is the engineered
design. Indeed, dynamic per formance
and ride comfort fundamentally depend
on factors such as vehicle weight, body
rigidity, wheelbase, axle construction
and steering. With the 911, we challenged
our engineers to push the boundaries
of what is possible. Chassis control systems make a key

contribution to the 911 driving experience
and thus to the 9 11 i d e n t i t y. T h e s e
include Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM), which comes as
standard in the 911 Carrera S models,
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is additionally available as an option for
the
9 11 Carrera S models.
Yet, there is still scope for improvement
as far as sport y performance is

concerned. The optional Sport Chrono Package triggers an adrenaline rush

at the push of a but ton. Dynamic engine
mounts, until now exclusively reserved

for 911 GT and Turbo models, may not be
capable of breaking the laws of physics
but they do succeed in exploiting them

to their own advantage – and yours.

| Chassis and body
It ’s easy, and even makes sense, to carry
on in your usual way, but what happens
if a sudden change of direction leaves
you thrown off course? Then, it all comes
down to personal strength.
A Porsche has a clear sense of purpose
and is the embodiment of strength. It
demonstrates this with sport y and precise
handling and excellent road holding.
With the optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) for the S models
of the 911 Carrera, these characteristics
can be further accentuated: the vehicle
holds the road even bet ter and delivers
even sportier performance. PDCC is an active anti
­roll system that
suppresses lateral body movement during
cornering manoeuvres. In addition, it
minimises the lateral instability of the
vehicle on uneven ground.
This effect is achieved with the aid of
hydraulic stabilising actuators in the form
of cylinders designed to optimise camber.
Lateral roll is counteracted by forces

generated at each individual wheel, based
on steering angle and lateral acceleration.
Rapid cornering in the 911 Carrera without PDCC (illustrative example) Rapid cornering in the 911 Carrera S with PDCC (illustrative example)
You appreciate directness.
But love a few twists and turns.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).The results are improved dynamic perfor ­
mance and increased ride comfort at all
speeds, as well as optimised turn ­in and
stable load transfer characteristics.
In simple terms, the t yres and vehicle
hold the road bet ter and you can steer
through corners faster and in a more
re l a x e d m a n n e r.
PDCC sets standards for handling perfor ­
mance, ride comfort and driving
pleas­
ure. In the 911, your ‘usual’ way suddenly
becomes the Porsche way.

| Chassis and body
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the 911 Carrera S models,
optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) switch to a harder damping set
­
ting and offer more direct steering and,
therefore, better road holding.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger thresh­
old for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the car is
still in SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y, it
is set to intervene automatically only
when ABS assistance is required on both
the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional

functions for a sport y drive that borders
on a motorsport experience. The first

is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used on the track to achieve the best possible
standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport
­
derived gearshif t strategy’. Using this,
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared
up for extremely short shift times and
optimum shift points for the maximum acceleration available. This combination
of uncompromising and involving perfor
­
mance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with the
standard PCM, a special performance
display enables you to view, store and
evaluate lap times or other driving
times. It shows the total driving time,
lap distance, lap number and lap times
re c o rde d s o f a r.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package
borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic
engine mounts. These exploit the laws

of physics for your own driving pleasure.
Dynamic engine mounts.
You don’t have to take the 911 onto the
racetrack. But you can, more so than
ever, because dynamic engine mounts
are now included as part of the Sport
Chrono Package.
The electronically controlled system mini­
mises the oscillations and vibrations of the
entire drivetrain, especially the engine, and
combines the benefits of a hard or soft
engine mounting arrangement.
A hard engine mounting delivers optimum
dynamic performance because it offers
the highest degree of handling precision
possible. Soft engine mounts, on the
other hand, minimise oscillations and
vibrations. While comfort is improved on
uneven road surfaces, this comes at

the expense of dynamic performance.
Our engineers have solved this problem
by enabling the engine mounts to adapt
their stiffness and damping properties to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. This has been achieved by
use of a fluid with magnetic properties in
interaction with an electrically generated field. For the driver, the results are tangi
­
ble. Handling is perceptibly more stable
under load change conditions and in
fast corners. Whenever a less assertive
driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
engine mounts provide a higher level of
comfort.
