We like to start from the front.
In the lead.
The new 911.
Yet again, everything comes back into play.
It’s about a new benchmark. A sports car
that has only ever existed oncein this form.
That has been a source of fascination for
generations. Andis firmly in our heart and
soul. It ’s about the future of the 911.
We are always looking forward. Not
sideways, never back. For the past is too
cushy a number, no matter how illustrious
itmay be. All the racing victories. The
dreams. Our fans. Thousands of ideas.
Wehold them in our hearts.
But we start from scratch. And we will give
everything we’ve got. We will go on the
attack, to get even better. And we will fight,
to defend our lead. With one single goal: to
create the next 911, one that can do more,
deliver more and consume less than ever
before. A sports car as beautiful now as it
was on day one. That is ourtradition. And
our future.
We will give it our all. For the best 911 of all
time: the new 911.

How do we defend our position?
By always being one idea ahead.
Drive and efficiency.
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
ine.

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 optimized 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 getahead.

Our goals always have been sporty ones.
Sport and comfort.
Make headway. Never surrender. Stay
ahead of the field. Those who pursue
challenging goals have to work hard for
them. Yet, there should always be room
for fun. And, of course, the same goes
forcomfort.
In the pursuit of your goals, the new
Porsche 911 will provide added
motivation.Indeed, the new sport
exhaustsystem – thefirst ofits kind
foranyPorsche turbocharged boxer
engine– is characterized by its
impressiveresonance and intense
sportscar sound. And the twocentral
tailpipes evoke the atmosphere of the
racetrack.
The upgraded Sport Chrono Package
provides an even sportier tuning of the
chassis, engine and transmission. What’s
new is the mode switch on the steering
wheel, derived from the 918 Spyder.
Four settings are available: Normal,
SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Individual. The
resemblance to a race car is striking –
and it's no coincidence.
Sport and comfort are combined on the
S models by the optional rear axle steering.
For even greater agility and driving
performance.
A highly practical feature is the lift system.
It raises the front end of the vehicle by
approximately 1.5 inches (40mm) so that
curbs, ramps and parking lot entrances are
no longer insurmountable. This allows you
to concentrate on the challenges in the
911that really matter: the sporty ones.

Another word for pioneering?
Trailblazing.
The driver and the future.
The direction is clear: forever forwards.
It just begs one question: how do we get
there? The best way is with technologies
that are always that little bit ahead of their
time.
