911 Carrera

Other manufacturers can

build a sportscar. But what

makes a sportscar a 911?

Apart from revising its

classic exterior design,

we have furnished it with

advanced engineering

technology. A new genera-

tion of engines. The

new, optional Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK)

transmission

– for reduced

fuel consumption

and

emissions, and outstanding

dynamics. And the latest

Porsche

Communication

Management

information

system – for direct,

intuitive control.

In short: a car with

inner strength.

The new 911.

·12·

The 911 stirs emotions in many.

Timeless emotions that have been

experienced by generations since

1963.

Emotions that can also be veri-

fied. Indeed, with impressive

regularity, the 911 is voted ‘best

sportscar’ in readers’ polls held

by leading motoring magazines.

We don’t believe in fairy tales like the perfect sportscar.

Otherwise, we would have given up work 45 years ago.

The 911 range.

These emotions are evoked by

two characteristics: distinctive

design and inner strength.

·13·

The new 911 | The new 911

With the new 911, these characte-

ristics are born out of progressive

engineering above all else. For

example, the two brand new

engines with direct fuel injection

(DFI), the new, optional Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Porsche

Traction Management (PTM)

intelligent all-wheel drive, or the

latest generation of Porsche

Communication Management (PCM).

Not only is this inner strength built

on technological achievements, it

also comes from the harmonious

relationship between design, and

practicality, and between everyday

road use and sports driving.

The 911 Coupé models, the

911 Cabriolet models and

the new 911 Targa 4 models –

the result of our engineers’

confidence that they can excel

themselves.

Forty-five years in the making.

The new 911.

Design icons. Engineering icons.

Yes, it sends shivers down our spine, too.

The engineering of the new 911.

A new 911. Two new engines with

direct fuel injection and power

outputs of 345 hp and 385 hp.

The new, optional Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK).The

latest Porsche Communication

Management with touchscreen

and, on request, a voice control

system. All progressive tech-

nologies. It would be so easy just

to sum up the meaning of inner

strength. We, however, prefer to

get to the root of it.

All of the new 911 models have

direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40).

So how does this compare

with standard fuel injection?

The fuel/air mixture is prepared

entirely in the combustion

chamber after having been

metered and injected directly,

with millisecond precision.

From a technical perspective, this

means an accurate fuel/air

mixture and therefore optimum

combustion. For the driver, it

means a distinct rise in power and

torque, and a distinct fall in fuel

consumption and emissions. It

has been possible to reduce CO2

emissions by up to 17%, dependin

on the model.

The new Porsche Doppelkupplung

(PDK, p. 55), available

as an

option, is based on a

develop-

ment that helped Porsche racing

cars in the 1980s to cause a

sensation on racetracks around

the world.

PDK, with both a manual gearshift

and an automatic mode, has

seven gears at its disposal. It is

like having two gearboxes in one

and, as the name suggests,

two

clutches. Whenever a

particular

gear is engaged, the next gear

is always preselected. Gearshifts

therefore take place within

hundredths of

a second, and

without any

interruption to the

flow of power. In comparison

with conventional

manual

transmission, PDK

achieves

a considerably faster rate of

acceleration for the same

rate of fuel consumption. When

compared

with automatic trans-

mission, it provides significantly

more driving pleasure thanks

improved responsiveness and

thus greater agility – with the

same degree of comfort at a

reduced rate of fuel consumption.

In combination with the Sport

Chrono Package Plus (p. 74), PDK

has a choice of two additional

functions: ‘Launch Control’ for

optimum acceleration from a

standing start, and a ‘motorsport-

derived gearshift strategy’

bringing gearshift characteristics

straight from the racetrack.

The new 911 Carrera 4 models

and the new 911 Targa 4 models

now have Porsche Traction

Management (PTM, p. 62) where

an electronically controlled

multi-plate clutch regulates the

distribution of drive force to the

front axle according to the driving

conditions.

Cutting edge technology is also

featured in the new Porsche

Communication Management (PCM

p. 100), available as standard.

Featuring a touchscreen and an

MP3-compatible

CD/DVD drive

for the first time, and an optional

universal audio interface enabling

you to connect and easily control

an iPod®, for example,

it is intuitive

to operate. An enhanced voice

control system with word-by-word

input is also available as an option.

For all its advanced technologies,

one thing cannot be denied: the

new 911 is still a 911. Not least

because it has the inner strength

to be improved that little bit more

from generation to generation.

A 911 i s a 911.

Every element fulfils a function.

From this principle, the new

911 draws its inner strength.

The logical consequence of

this is the new 911 Carrera’s

very low drag coefficient of 0.29.

The air intakes on the new front

end have been enlarged to

provide increased cooling power

and give an even more dynamic

appearance.

Bi-xenon headlights are fitted as

standard on all 911 models. The

indicators and LED daytime

running lights and position lights

are harmoniously integrated into

the separate front light units

above the outer air intakes for an

imposing look. The optional

dynamic cornering lights have a

Character traits cannot be changed.

But they can be reinforced.

swivelling module for the dipped

beams – visible engineering for

improved visibility.

As with the modified exterior

mirrors which provide an even

better rearward view.

The rear end, too, has undergone

a restyling. The new, imposing

LED taillights are drawn right into

the wing and taper off to the

outside. Unmistakable – especially

at night. The stainless steel tail-

pipes, designed as twin tailpipes

on the S model range, are

integrated seamlessly. Another

important aesthetic contribution

is the new wheel design. Models

with the 3.6-litre engine are fitted

as standard with 18-inch wheels

and S models with the 3.8-litre

engine have 19-inch wheels.

Specific to the all-wheel drive

variants is the 44 mm wider

stance at the rear and the new

taillight strip, which, as a striking

design feature, lends even more

impact to the rear end.

In every respect, the design is

unmistakably 911 – because its

form follows function. And all

the while it maintains its unique

appeal.

What’s the effect of inner

strength? It makes it

possible to constantly seek

innovations without having

to change the car’s unique

character.

This inner strength has

distinguished the 911

concept since it began.

The evidence? A history

of success spanning

45 years, and the ten

new models. Each one

has its own character,

its own personality.

But they all share the

same heritage.

The 911 has always had character.

The new 911 | Model range

Inner strength defines character

and manifests itself in various

ways.

Just like the new 911 model

range. The models all exemplify

our ideal of a sportscar – the

marriage of contrasts: sportiness

and comfort; functionality and

design; tradition and innovation.

These are the foundation pillars

of the 911.

Each model stands

for itself. And for a driver’s

individual requirements of a

sportscar.

For one driver, it’s about purity

of design and lightweight con-

struction – traditional sportscar

characteristics. For another,

performance is paramount. Others

like nothing better than open-top

driving – in classic sportscar

style with a 911 Cabriolet,

or in a supremely individual

way in a 911 Targa 4.

These are all very different

requirements, and, as we said

before, highly individual.

It is our pledge to meet them.

And has been for 45 years.
