Other manufacturers can

build a sportscar. But what

makes a sportscar a 911?

It may have the classic

exterior design to which

you are accustomed, but

we have furnished it with

advanced engineering

technology. An efficient

engine and the optional

Porsche Doppelkupplung

(PDK) transmission – for

reduced fuel consumption

and emissions, and out-

standing dynamics. And the

Porsche Communication

Management information

system – for direct, intuitive

control.

In short: a car with inner

strength.

The 911.

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

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

The 911 range.

The 911 | The 911

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.

These emotions are evoked by

two characteristics: distinctive

design and inner strength.

With the 911, these characteristics

are born out of progressive

engineering above all else. For

example, the engines with direct

fuel injection (DFI), the optional

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),

the Porsche Traction Management

(PTM) active all-wheel drive, or the

intuitive 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

911 Targa 4 models – the result

of our engineers’ confidence

that they can excel themselves.

Over forty-five years in the

making. The 911.

The 911 | The 911

Design icons. Engineering icons.

Yes, it sends shivers down our spine, too.

The engineering of the 911.

Two engines with direct fuel injec-

tion and power outputs of 345 hp

and 385 hp. The optional Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK). Porsche

Communication Management with

touchscreen and, on request, a

voice control system. All progres-

sive technologies. 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 911 Carrera and Targa 4

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 com-

bustion chamber after having

been metered and injected direct-

ly, 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

CO2emissions by up to 15% com-

pared with the previous model.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK,

p. 55), available as an option, is

based on a development 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, without

any interruption in the flow of

power. In comparison with con-

ventional manual transmission,

PDK achieves a considerably

faster rate of acceleration for the

same rate of fuel consumption.

When compared with the previous

automatic transmission, it pro-

vides significantly more driving

pleasure thanks to 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.

911 Carrera

The 911 | The 911

911 Carrera

The 911 Carrera 4 models and

the 911 Targa 4 models have

Porsche Traction Management

(PTM, p. 62) where an electroni-

cally controlled multi-plate clutch

regulates the distribution of drive

force to the front axle according

to the driving conditions.

The new standard steering

wheels with sporty three-spoke

design feel comfortable and

provide excellent grip, even

through high-speed turns.

The standard Porsche Communi-

cation Management (PCM, p. 100)

with touchscreen and MP3-

compatible CD/DVD drive is also

extremely ergonomic. Featuring

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 inner strength of the

911 is what makes this 911 the

best 911 of all time.

The 911 | The 911

Character traits cannot be changed.

But they can be reinforced.

The design of the 911.

Every element fulfils a function.

From this principle, the 911 draws

its inner strength. The logical

consequence of this is the

911 Carrera’s very low drag

coefficient of 0.29.

The large air intakes on the front

end provide highly effective

cooling power and give the 911 a

sporty and 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

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 follows the design

cues of the front. The 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 integrat-

ed seamlessly. Another important

aesthetic contribution is the 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 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 more

than 45 years, and the

10 models in the current

range. Each one has its

own character, its own

personality.

But they all share the

same heritage.

The 911 | Model range

The 911 has always had character.

Which one is up to you.

Inner strength defines character

and manifests itself in various

ways.

Just like the 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, per-

formance 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 over 45 years.
