Principle 33
T he 911
was designed to be a pure-bred
sports car from the very start, initially
offering 96kW (130hp). As early as
1966, the first S model hit the road with
an engine built for higher compression.
T he 911
S 2.0 Coupé drove the power
output of the six-cylinder horizontally
opposed engine up to 118kW (160hp)
and was the force behind countless race-
going versions of the 911
in motorsport.
This tradition is also followed by the new
911, boasting six cylinders, a displacement
of 3.0litres and two engine variants: one
rated 272kW (370hp) and the other –
an S model – offering 309kW (420hp).
Both engines meet the requirements of
our time. Thanks to their turbocharged
design, they generate more power – with
reduced displacement and lower fuel
consumption.
911
Carrera models and the
911
Targa 4.
Incredible sportiness is the number one
discipline of the 911 Carrera models and
the 911 Targa 4. Turbocharged induction
makes their engine not only more efficient,
but also more powerful. In figures: 272kW
(370hp). The high torque of 450 Nm is
available early on at an impressively low
1,700 rpm. A performance promise
delivered to the driver without detour –
across a wide engine speed range.
Fitted as standard for the first time in all
models: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
damping controlsystem. Furtherproof
that, when it comes to the 911, it’s
always about increasedperformance –
as well asgreater comfort.
The base models are equipped with
19-inch alloy wheels. The newly styled
single-tube tailpipes are imposing – just
like the sound.
How to take the 911
principle up a level:
