What’s the effect of inner
strength? It makes it
possible to constantly
seek innovations without
having to change the
car’s unique character.
This inner strength has
distinguished the 911
concept since it began.
The evidence? A history
of success spanning more
than 45 years, and the
10 models in the current
range. Each one has its
own character, its
own personality.
But they all share the
same heritage.

Inner  strength defines 
character a nd manifests 
i tself in various ways.
Just like the 911 model range.  
The model s all exemplify our 
ideal of  a sports car—th e  
mar riage of  contrasts: sportiness 
and comfort; functionality and 
design; tradition and innovation.
These are the foundation of 
the 911. Each model sta nd s for 
i tself. And for a driver’s individual 
requirements of a sports car.
For one driver, it’s about purity  
of desi gn and lightweight 
construction—traditional 
sports-car characteristics. 
For another, performance is 
paramo unt. Others like nothing 
better than open-top driving—in 
classic  sports-car style with a 
911 Cabriolet, or in a supremel y 
indi vidual way in a 911 Targa 4.
These are all very  different 
 requirements, and, as we said 
before, highly individual. It  is 
our pledge to meet them.
And has been for over 45 years.

How often in life have you wanted to change something about
yourself intrinsically and yet also stay the same?
The 911 Carrera.
Efficiency, power and s portiness. 
These virtues are the basis of  
the traditi onal sports car, and are 
the essence of the 911 Carrera. 
In terms  of efficiency, its engine 
has Direct Fuel Injection (DFI).
The powe r is provided by a 
3.6-liter, 6-cylinder  boxe r 
engine, positioned lo w in the 
rear of the chassis. As  usual.
With t his power unit, the 
911 Car rera is now able to  
deliver 345 horsepower at  
6500 rp m and a maximum  
torque of 288 Ib.-ft. at 4400 r pm. 
All this with a reduction in  fuel 
consumption emissions and a 
six  -percent reduction in fuel 
consumption in conjunct ion with 
the manual gearbox. Compelling 
f igures. Just  like these: 0–60 in 
mph 4.7 seconds and a top tr ack 
speed of 179 mph.

911 Carrera S
It’s not only heritage that defines character.
Values do, too.
The 911 Carrera S.
A s far as the 911 C arrera S is 
 concer ned, the driver can take 
this quite litera lly. This is where 
performance is paramount. The 
car’s perform ance values are a 
testament to its inner strength: 
a 3.8-liter  engine with Direct  
Fuel Injection (DFI). Power 
output: 385 horsepower a t 
6500 rp m. Maximum torque: 
310 Ib.-ft. at 4400 rpm.
Values that are  impressive 
in themselves: 0–60 in 4.5 
seconds. To p track speed 
isn’t reached until 187 mph. 
Also  avai lable as  an option is 
the  Porsche Doppelku pplung 
(PDK), which improves 
acceleration valu es further 
still: 0–60 in  4.3 seconds.
And if  you combine PDK with  
the opt ional Sport Chrono

Ch aracteristically Porsche.
The four-piston, aluminum 
monobloc calipers have a 
striking red-painted finish, and 
the generously dimensioned 
brake discs make for outstanding 
dec eleration. These complement 
the 19-inch Carrera S II wheels 
with their sporty design. 
The Po rsche Ceramic 
Composite Brake (PCCB) is 
also  offered as an option.
The Po rsche Ac tive Suspension 
Management (PASM) and the 
0.39-inch (10mm) low ered

ride comfort and roadholding.
For those wh o appreciate more

How do you combine safety and dynamics?
With inner strength, for instance.
The 911 Carrera 4 models.
Outstanding driving dynamics 
and traction are what the all-
wheel-drive variants of the 
911 have to offer above all 
else. And they’re instantly 
rec ognizable. By their wider 
body—an extra 1.73 inches 
(44 mm) at th e rear wings,
a nd  the wider rear tires. Also, 
by their titanium-colored front 
air-intake grilles and slats, and

911 Carrera 4S
The performance of the 
911 Car rera 4 with the 
3.6-liter eng ine is 0–60 in 
4.8 seconds, w ith a top 
track speed  of 176 mph.
The 911 Carrera 4S completes  
the 0–60 sprint in just 4.5 
seconds and reaches a top 
track speed  of 184 mph.
Both models are equipped with 
Porsche  Traction Management 
(PTM) active all-wheel  drive. 
PTM has been optimized 
for 
 outstanding  driving dynamics, 
which are also underpinned  
by the mechanically locking  
rear  differential. In addition,  
th e  traction offered by PTM 
 represents a significant safety 
feature—especia lly in wet 
and snowy conditions.
The 911 Carrera 4 models,  
therefore, del iver improvements  
in both safety and dyna mics.  
However, this is no surprise to 
thei r drivers, who see them  
as an indication of their 
inner strength.

911 Carrera Cabriolet
It’s what we give every 911 Cabriolet: openness to enthusiasm.
The 911 Carrera Cabriolet models.
Irresistible appeal. This has  
always been a driving force in the 
 development of the 911. There is 
nowhere better to e xperience it 
than during an involving Sunday 
drive in an open- top 911. This is 
why every 911 Carrera mo del is 
also offered in Cabriolet form.
Technically, these models  emulate 
the performance of their clo sed-
top counterparts, with a  3.6-liter 
or 3.8-lit er power unit and two- or 
four-wheel drive, including  Porsche

911 Carrera S Cabriolet
The same  applies where safety 
is concerned.  All 911 models 
are equipped as standard with 
full-size dr iver and passenger 
airbags and  the Porsche Side 
Impact Protection ( POSIP) system. 
On Cabriolet models, these are 
com plemented by an effective 
rollo ver protectio n system.
The optional seat ventilation 
 provides added comfort  
for  open-top driving on 
particularly hot d ays.
Incidentally, the 911 Cabriolet 
models are Cabriolets in the 
 traditional sense: They  have a 
 fabric top. This saves on weight 
in just the  right place—for that 
low center of gravity typical of a 
sports car, and for reduc ed fuel 
consumption. Further refinements

Top.
Here’s one  cons olation for anyone 
forced to close their top on a rainy 
day: You’re still driving a 911.
The top system of the  
911 Cabriolet model s is bo th 
lightweight and robust. The roof 
frame also  has a lightweight 
structure. The glass rear wi ndow 
is scratch-resistant and electrically 
heated—for excellent rearward 
visibility. An integral rain channel 
along the edge of the top removes 
standing water to prevent dripping 
when the doors are opened.
Operation of the convertible 
top is f ully  electric, by usi ng a 
button on the center console.
The convertib le top has a 
concertina fol ding action, ensuring 
optimal protection for the interior 
surface of the lining. It opens 
and closes in ap proximately 
20 seconds from start to finish 
and can be ope rated when th e 
vehicle is traveling 
a t speeds 
u p to 30 mph.

The 911 | Model range
The interior top lining  is made 
from  a heat-insulating an d 
soundproofing fabric. No ise  
levels are, therefore, almost as 
low as in the Coupe models, 
ev en at high speeds. So you 
hardly hear   anything at all—
apart from t he distinctive 
Porsche  sound, of cou rse.
Wind deflector.
The detachable w ind de flector is 
f itted as standard. It was specially 
developed in  t he wind tunnel for 
pra ctically draft-free d riving and 
minimal wi nd noise. When folded, 
i t can be stowed in the luggage

a tough and lig htweight 
alum inum hardtop, which is 
also easy to fit. The inside is

Remember what your mother told you.
You should see something of the world.
The 911 Targa 4 models.
Cou pe or Cabriolet? We 
ans wered this question back

911 Targa. Since then we’ve 
refi ned it c ontinuously. And i t’s 
become even more comfortable 
and even more dynamic.

The 3.6-liter engine of t he 
911 Targa 4 delivers 345 
horsepower at 6500 rpm

as standard. Lik e that of the 
911 Car rera 4 models, the body is 
1.73 inches (44 mm) w ider at the 
back, for an even more sporting 
appearance  and better driv ing 
dynamics. The wider rear t rack 
and wider  tires allow even better 
transverse accelerat ion in c orn ers.
The electrically  operated glass 
roof is fully integrated into the 
body and gives a sensa tion o f 
infinite width—open or closed. 
Despite the large glass areas, 
body rig idity is e xtremely high  
and loading comfort is  
increased, thank s to the 
opening glass rear window.
A complete decor strip of
