cooling PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S 2015 6.G Information Manual

Highlights 13
Our formula for success could not be more
simple: more ideas per hp. Applied to the
drive system of our cars, this means
greater power output, but lower fuel
consumption.
This formula is also employed by the new
911 Carrera: thanks to their turbocharged
engines offering immediate responsiveness,
considerably more torque and even greater
power output. In other words, huge power
and immediate acceleration, combined with
the high rpm limit and legendary sound of a
911 six-cylinder horizontally opposed
engine.

We’re always searching for the shortest
route. Direction: future. The next gear change is no exception. That ’s why the
7-speed manual transmission is precise and
athletic, just like the optimised Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). Featuring six sporty
gears and a long-ratio seventh gear,

PDK delivers even better figures – for
acceleration and fuel consumption. That ’s
how we interpret efficiency.
You can also rely on peak performance
thanks to new active air intake flaps.
Depending on driving style and manner,
they act to reduce air resistance – or
improve cooling performance. The
intelligent way to get ahead.
How do we defend our position?
By always being one idea ahead.
Drive and efficiency.

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.

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.
