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.

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.

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.
