The new Porsche 911 Carrera is extending its position as the best in its class in terms of performance and efficiency. Advanced development of the flat engines into turbocharged units has given the world's best-selling sports car a boost in power along with significantly improved fuel economy. On its exterior, the 911 Carrera impresses with an evolutionary yet further sharpened design, while inside it features the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system for the first time with improved connectivity and real-time traffic information.
Drive system
Three-litre six-cylinder with bi-turbo charging, 370 hp (272 kW) of power in the 911 Carrera and 420 hp (309 kW) in the 911 Carrera S. In both models, that is 20 hp more than previously. The cars also offer a full measure of torque at 450 and 500 Nm, respectively. It is available from 1,700 rpm, and the engines have a usable speed range of up to 7,500 rpm. These are the characteristic data of exceptionally free-revving sports car engines.
Performance
New record sprint times: the 911 Carrera Coupé with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and the Sport Chrono Package has a zero to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.2 seconds (now 0.2 sec faster), and the S-model 3.9 seconds (0.2 sec faster). This is the first 911 Carrera to break the four-second barrier.
Efficiency
Fuel consumption per 100 km is just around twelve per cent lower because of Porsche turbocharging technology. The 911 Carrera with PDK transmission now consumes just 7.4 litres of fuel per 100 km (0.8 litre less), while the S-model with PDK consumes 7.7 l/100 km (1.0 litre less).
Chassis
Ride height has been lowered ten millimetres, the further developed active PASM chassis is standard and rear-axle steering is an option in the Carrera S. The new 911 Carrera significantly extends the spread between sportiness and comfort once again. The new Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is standard.
Aerodynamics
The aerodynamics of the 911 improve efficiency and driving dynamics by virtue of new automatic cooling air flaps. Air drag and aerodynamic lift are reduced in interplay with the variable rear spoiler.
Infotainment
The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with its state-of-the-art touchscreen is as easy to operate as a smartphone and offers new Porsche Car Connect features. They include traffic information in real time, Google Earth and Google Street View. The system can be readily networked with a smartphone, thus providing access to many more apps.
The 911 Carrera is the brand icon of Porsche. Powered by bi-turbo engines for the first time, it sets new benchmarks in performance and efficiency. The further developed chassis – with standard active damping (PASM) and a ten millimetre lower ride height – delivers an even broader spread of characteristics between sporty and comfortable. more ...
