911 Carrera 4
A 911 is a 911.
Every element fulfils a function.
From this principle, the new
911 draws its inner strength.
The logical consequence of
this is the new 911 Carrera’s
very low drag coefficient of 0.29.
The air intakes on the new front
end have been enlarged to
provide increased cooling power
and give an even more 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

As with the modified exterior
mirrors which provide an even
better rearward view.
The rear end, too, has undergone
a restyling. The new, 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
integrated seamlessly. Another
important aesthetic contribution
is the new 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 new
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.
