911 Carrera
Efficiency, power and sportiness.
Since the very beginning, easily
the most important virtues of the
911 Carrera. They are the basis
of the traditional sportscar.
Again, we’ve been working on it.
Again, with success.
In terms of efficiency, its
new engine now has direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 40).
The power is provided by a
3.6-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine,
positioned low down in the rear
of the chassis. As usual.
With this power unit, the new
911 Carrera is now able to deliver
254 kW (345 hp) at 6,500 rpm
and a maximum torque of 390 Nm
at 4,400 rpm. All this with a
15 % reduction in CO
2
emissions
and a 13 % reduction in fuel
consumption in conjunction with
the manual gearbox. Compelling
How often in life have you wanted to change something about yourself
intrinsically and yet also stay the same?

figures. Just like these:
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
4.9 seconds and a top speed
of 289 km/h (180 mph).
The six-speed manual sport
transmission with self-adjusting
clutch, fitted as standard,
ensures that the correct ratio
is always at hand.
Sporty and imposing describes
the two new single tailpipes.
Just like the typical Porsche
sound.
The standard 18-inch Carrera IV
wheels have also been restyled.
The black, four-piston aluminium
monobloc calipers of the new
brake system have been made
even more rigid by their closed-
type design. The rear brake
discs are 4 mm thicker and their
diameter has been increased to
330 mm front and rear – for even
better braking performance.
More safety features are now
available as standard, including
enhanced Porsche Stability
Management (PSM, p. 70) and
bi-xenon headlights.
Efficiency, power, sportiness.
Three virtues that distinguish
the new 911 Carrera. Intrinsically.
