PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S 2015 6.G Information Manual

Design 21
The design of the new 911 shows where we
come from. But it also shows where we
want to go.
The design language, proportions and
contouring follow the 911 tradition: with
wings that are higher than the front lid; with
familiar rounded headlights; and a roof line
that tapers down towards the rear. The
overall appearance is low, wide and sleek.
The unmistakable DNA of a Porsche.
Our designers focused on making the new
911 appear even more precise. With a new
lighting design and characteristic four-spot
LED daytime 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 sports car that is recognisably a 911,
even from afar.
The new front end has been given an even
sportier look. The air intakes are larger,
while the new active cooling air flaps on the
sides control aerodynamics and cooling
performance as required.
From the front, the new 911 shows plenty
of bite. And the future has whetted its
appetite.
An innovation is a tradition
forever being sharpened to look brand new.
Exterior.

Design 23
The rear encapsulates the heart of the
911: the engine. This is where it has
been beating ever since 1963. And will
continue to do so in the future. However,
the turbocharged drive system of the
new 911 Carrera models needs a lot of
air to breathe.
That ’s why, for the first time on a 911, the
slats of the rear lid grille are arranged
longitudinally. But where a lot of air comes
in, a lot of air must also be able to get out.
On the rear apron, this requirement is
fulfilled by the two side outlets for the
intercoolers. Conspicuous, in the best sense of the
word, is how to describe the prominent,
three-dimensional LED taillights. The high-
level third brake light
is integrated directly
above the slats of the rear lid grille.
New to the rear is the design of the
tailpipes in stainless steel. The central
tailpipes of the optional sports exhaust
system are derived from the 911 GT3. For
harmony of form, function and sound.
Sharp, sporty and timeless. The contouring
of the rear is even more clearly defined,
making it look wider, more sculpted and
more muscular. That ’s our approach to the
theory of evolution.

Design 25
The interior of a Porsche is infused with
over 60 years of experience. You can feel
it: in the materials, which are elegant to the
touch and exquisitely made. You can see it:
in the sporty design. And it communicates
itself with every second of driving, thanks
to excellent ergonomics and comfort.
The ascending centre console is driver-
focussed, putting the most important
vehicle functions within short reach of the
steering wheel. The new Sports steering wheel speaks the language of motorsport.
Its forward-looking design is derived from
the 918 Spyder.
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of
the five round instruments with the rev
counter positioned in the centre. The
instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.6-
inch colour screen adds the modern touch.
Tradition meets innovation. The result?
Futurism, but of the Porsche kind.
How does one marry purism with style?

And tradition with the future?
Directly, with no detours.

At Porsche, there are no conventions.
Forbidding free thought? That ’s forbidden.
The only thing that matters is this question:
how can we become even better? Let ’s put
it another way: can we redefine the limits of
engineering? Yes, we can. With Intelligent
Performance.
The new 911 answers questions about the
future of the sports car with a quantum
leap in performance. By reducing fuel
consumption, but not by suppressing
emotions. By following a principle that has
already changed everything once before:
in 1974, with the first 911 Turbo. Developed completely from scratch, the
six-cylinder twin-turbo boxer engines of the
911 Carrera models with a displacement
of 3.0 litres embrace this principle and
perfect it in a future-bound way. To be more
precise: tremendous acceleration force
even in the low rpm range is supplemented
by the engine map of a 911 Carrera with
the high rev limits typical of a sports car.
Expressed in figures, this means an extra
15 kW (20 hp) of power, an extra 60 Nm

of torque and engine speeds of up to
7,500 rpm. And a considerable reduction
in fuel consumption of up to 12
%.

The engine of the 911 Carrera develops
272 kW (370 hp). The maximum torque of
450 Nm is available from as low as
1,700 rpm. With Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), the 911 Carrera can accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h in only 4.4 seconds
and reach a top speed of 293 km/ h.
We could sit back in the slipstream of our own tradition.

Drive 31
The propulsive potential of the engine in the
911 Carrera S, featuring upsized turbo-
chargers and independent exhaust tracts,
is even more impressive. It generates a
power output of 309 kW (420 hp) and the
maximum torque is a mighty 500 Nm,
available from as low as 1,700 rpm. With
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Launch
Control, the 911 Carrera S sprints to
100 km/ h in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed
isn’t reached until 306 km/ h.
What cannot be expressed in figures: the
legendary sound of a 911 six-cylinder
horizontally opposed engine. And the
experience is all the more intense for it.

Drive 33
Active air intake flaps.
The active air intake flaps in the front air
intakes act to reduce fuel consumption
during everyday trips and to achieve
superlative performance on sporty drives.
As on the 918 Spyder, the flaps close
automatically while the car is in motion and
thereby reduce drag. On demand or in
SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode, the flaps
open and help to provide optimum engine
cooling.
This means that cooling air is supplied only
to the extent that it is actually needed.
That ’s efficiency. Of the intelligent kind.

Drive 35
7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. The 7-speed manual
transmission combines a high level of
sporty performance with fast gear changes.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, selecting SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode activates the dynamic
throttle-blip function, which ensures the
optimum engine speed for every downshift,
a more emotional driving experience and
an impressive sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you to conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optimised 7-speed PDK, featuring both
a manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – together
with even faster acceleration performance
and lower fuel consumption.
A first for the 911 Carrera models: with PDK
in manual mode, the shift direction simulates
that of racing cars and the 911 GT3 models –
towards the rear to shift up, forwards to shift
down. For a racetrack driving experience
wherever you are.
Gears one to six have a sports ratio and
top speed is reached in sixth gear. Seventh
gear is ratioed primarily for fuel economy.
Always a few milliseconds ahead of time.

Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM).
PASM is fit ted as standard in all 911 models
for the first time. This electronic damping
control system actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each wheel,
based on current road conditions and
driving style.
PASM has two modes, which can be
selected using a separate button on the
centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend
of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport ’
where the setup is much firmer.
The results are tangible: increased driving
stability, improved comfort and enhanced
performance.
Rear-axle steering.
Rear-axle steering is available on request
for all S models. Until now reserved
exclusively for the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3
models, it enhances performance and
everyday practicality in equal measure.
For particularly nimble handling combined
with a significant increase in driving
stability.
The advantage for day-to-day driving:
during low-speed manoeuvres, the system
steers the rear wheels in the opposite
direction to that of the front wheels. This
has the virtual effect of shortening the
wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced,
cornering turn-in becomes considerably more dynamic, and parking is noticeably
easier to manage.
The advantage for sporty driving: during
high-speed manoeuvres, the system steers
the rear wheels in the same direction as
that of the front wheels. Driving stability is
increased by the virtual extension of the
wheelbase and agility is enhanced by the
simultaneous steering of the front and rear
axles. All this has an impact on maximum
driving performance: an extremely positive
one.
The road to the future has its ups and downs.

And its fair share of twists and turns.

SPORT button.
The SPORT button enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is on
either comfort or sporty performance. At
the push of a button, the electronic engine
management system switches the engine
mapping to offer an even sharper response
and engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with PDK, upshifts take place at
higher engine speeds and downshifts
happen sooner. In addition, coasting mode
and the auto start/stop function are
automatically
deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
Adrenaline at the push of a button: the
optional Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts. For an even
sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and
transmission.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder. Four settings are available to
choose from: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS
and Custom, which enable you to adapt the
vehicle to the way you want to drive.
