2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé / Carrera S Coupé

New version of the sports car icon: the best 911 ever

The new Porsche 911 Carrera: Tradition meets modernity

The new generation Porsche 911 Carrera is emerging from one of the biggest develop ment
steps in the long history of this classic sports car. Almost 90 per cent of all components
have been redesigned or redeveloped. With its all-new lightweight body, further drivetrain
efficiencies and new suspension systems, the Coupé offers the driver improved Porsche
Intelligent Performance. This manifests itself in yet further enhanced driving dynamics, up
to 16 per cent lower fuel consumption and emissions combined with even greater everyday
practicality. The new generation is making its debut in two versions:
911 Carrera 3.4-litre boxer engine with 350 hp (257 kW); rear-wheel drive, sevenspeed
manual transmission, optional seven-speed Porsche-Doppel -
kupplungsgetriebe (PDK); acceleration 0 -- 100 km/h in 4.8 se -
conds, with PDK in 4.6 seconds (4.4 seconds with Sport Chrono
Package); top speed 289 km/h, with PDK 287 km/h; fuel con sump -
tion (NEDC) 9.0 l/100 km, CO2 212 g/km; with PDK 8.2 l/100 km
CO2 194 g/km.
911 Carrera S 3.8-litre boxer engine with 400 hp (/294 kW); rear-wheel drive,
seven-speed manual transmission, optional seven-speed Porsche-
Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK); acceleration 0 -- 100 km/h in
4.5 seconds, with PDK in 4.3 seconds (4.1 seconds with Sport
Chrono Package); top speed 304 km/h, with PDK 302 km/h; fuel
consumption (NEDC) 9.5 l/100 km, CO2 224 g/km; with PDK
8.7 l/100 km CO2 205 g/km.
With its completely revamped suspension featuring numerous redeveloped components,
the 911 Carrera raises the driving dynamics bar yet another notch. The longer wheelbase
alone, combined with the wider track width at the front, generates an entirely different geo -
metry with more sure-footed tracking and roll stability at high longitudinal and cornering
speeds. One of the most impressive proofs for the performance gain: the new 911 Carrera
with optimal sporty equipment can lap the Nürburgring's Nordschleife in 7:40 minutes. It
is therefore 14 seconds faster than the previous model.

The 911 Carrera sets new standards in Porsche Intelligent Performance. The innovative
aluminium-steel lightweight body, combined with a raft of new components and functions,
benefits efficiency and driving dynamics in equal measure.
The new 911 Carrera is the first passenger car in the world to feature a seven-speed
manual transmission as standard. It is based on the module of the optional seven-speed
Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK). The close ratio of the first six gears affords the driver
outstanding acceleration capability, with the seventh gear's quasi overdrive attributes offe -
ring further scope for fuel economy.
The 911 Carrera is the first sports car that Porsche has equipped with an auto start/stop
function. The system can save up to 0.6 litres per 100 kilometres based on the New Euro -
pean Driving Cycle (NEDC). The auto stop/start function is married with both the PDK and
manual transmission as standard. The joint thermal management system for engine and
transmission and on-board electrical system recuperation reduce the new 911 generation's
fuel consumption by a further 0.35 l/100 km. As the new cooling design dispenses with
ventilation openings in the underbody, it also affords aerodynamic advantages, which are
of benefit to performance.
The coasting function, making its very first appearance in a sports car with the optional
PDK transmission, can save up to one litre of fuel for every 100 kilometres in everyday
driving. If the driver takes his foot off the accelerator, depending on the driving situation,
the engine is disengaged from the transmission; the 911 Carrera continues on its way
with the engine idling. Especially at higher speeds, this function taps additional potential
fuel economies.
In the 911 Carrera, optimised fuel consumption is complemented by Porsche-style down -
sizing: the 3.4-litre engine delivers more power from a smaller displacement than its pre -
decessor with a displacement of 3.6 litres. That means the 911 Carrera with PDK is the
first Porsche sports car to make it below the 200 g/km CO2 emissions threshold.
