PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S 2015 6.G Information Manual

Sports car fascination 11
Yet again, every thing comes back into
play. It ’s about a new benchmark. A
sports car that has only ever existed
once in this form. That has been a
source of fascination for generations.
And is firmly anchored in our heart and
soul. It ’s about the future of the 911.
We are always looking forward. Not
sideways, never back. We don’t want to
rest on the laurels of our past, no mat ter
how illustrious it may be. All the racing victories. The dreams. Our
fans. Thousands of ideas. We hold them
in our hearts.
But we start from scratch. And we will
give everything we’ve got. We will go on
the at tack, to get even bet ter. And we
will fight, to defend our lead. With one
single goal: to create the next 911, one
that can do more, deliver more and
consume less than ever before. A sports
car as beautiful now as it was on day one. That is our tradition. And our future. We
will give it our all. For the best 911
of all
times: the new 911.
We like to start from the front.
In the lead.

Design

Design 17
The design of the 911 shows where we
come from and where our roots are. But
it also shows the direction of our thinking
and how we see the future.
The design language, proportions and
contouring follow the 911
tradition: with
wings that are higher than the front lid;
with headlights that are bulging and
round; with a roof line that slopes down
towards the rear over tapering side
windows. The overall appearance is low,
wide and sleek. Sports car proportions
that originated on the racetrack. An icon? Certainly – but only because we
continue its development. Our designers
focused on making the new 911
appear
even more precise, and by doing so they
created the blueprint for its future. With
a new lighting design and characteristic
four-spot LED day time running lights,
which have now been incorporated into
the Bi-Xenon main headlights. With
direction indicators that are even slimmer
than they were before. For a Porsche
that
is recognisably a 911, even from a
distance.
The front has been reshaped for an even
sportier look. The air intakes are larger,
the design is even more succinct. In the
side air intakes, new active air intake
flaps control aerodynamics and cooling
performance as required.
In summary: the new 911
shows plent y of
bite from the front. And the future has
whetted its appetite.
An innovation is a tradition,
forever being sharpened to look brand new.
Design.

Design 19
The rear encapsulates the heart of the
911: the engine. This is where it has been
beating since 1963. With the introduction
of the new drive configuration, it beats
harder than ever before. Some parameter
tweaking was therefore required, including
in the design.
First, then, let us explain the function
before we come to the form. A combustion
engine without air cannot do any work at
all. That ’s physics. A Porsche engine needs

a lot of air to breathe. That ’s motorsport.
And the turbocharged drive layout of the
new 911 Carrera and 911 Targa 4 models
inhales more than ever, thanks to the
longitudinally arranged slats of the rear
lid grille.
Conspicuous, in the best sense of the
word, is how to describe the prominent,
three-dimensional LED taillights. They
create a sculptural look, also t ypical of
the 918 Spyder. A design for tomorrow,
combined with engineering for a new era.
A hallmark of the all-wheel drive models
is the seamless light strip on the rear.
For the new
911 models, it has been
further refined. It is narrower and
appears to seep into the taillight units on
either side, with an illumination that has
never been so homogeneous – qualities
that accentuate the 44 mm wider rear of
the all-wheel drive body.
The design of the single-tube tailpipes in
stainless steel – two-tract on the S models
–
is new. Inspired by the 911 GT3: the
centrally positioned tailpipes of the
optional sports exhaust system. For
harmony of form, function and sound.
Sharp, sport y and timeless. The
contouring of the rear is even more
clearly defined, making it look wider,
brawnier and more heavily built.
That ’s our approach to the theory of
evolution.
