Recycling
For both technical and ecological
reasons, intelligent lightweight
construction has been fundamental to
Porsche since our first car in 1948.
This forms the basis for achieving low
fuel consumption values in conjunction
with outstanding performance.
On the technical side, we use a high
proportion of aluminum, magnesium,
plastics, and super high-strength sheet
steel. The materials used have been
selected for their ability to withstand
load, yet they are considerably
lighter than conventional steel.On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. All synthetic
components are easily recyclable. And
each material is labeled to facilitate its
separation for recycling. The reduction
in the number of plastic variants helps to
ensure more efficient recycling. Recycled
plastics are used where they meet our
exacting technical requirements.
In short, the new 911 Turbo models are
approximately 95 percent recyclable.
In addition, Porsche uses a high
proportion of environmentally
friendly water-based paints. For us,
environmental protection does not begin
at the end of a vehicle’s life. It starts at
the planning and development stage. having the same fuel economy of 17 mpg
in the cit y and 24 mpg on the highway.
Noise
The 911 Turbo models and the new
911 Turbo S comply with all current
noise regulations—without resorting
to engine encapsulation. To achieve
this, we’ve eliminated noise at the
source: Engine components are
more rigid, moving parts lighter,
and tolerances reduced to a
minimum. High-efficiency silencers
and resonators in the intake system
help to reduce noise even further.
Fuel
All Porsche models are designed to
operate on fuels with an ethanol content
of up to 10 percent. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO
2 balance since the plants
grown for the production of this biofuel
also absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the fuel
system has been minimized, thanks in no
small part to the active carbon filter and the
multilayered material from which the fuel
tank is made. All fuel lines are made from
multilayered plastic, steel, or aluminum.
The new 911 Turbo models have
maximized the fuel-saving technologies,
which results in all the 911 Turbo models
