New Engine
The completely new engine generation
with bi-turbo charging raises the emo-
tional driving pleasure in the 911 Carrera
to an even more intensive experience:
370hp of power at the rear of the 911
Carrera is waiting to be unleashed and
converted into sporty propulsion. The
engine in the 911 Carrera S now delivers
420hp. In both cases this represents a
power increase of 20hp. Both engines

Good Just Got Better
ThePorsche 911 has been theworld’s best-selling sports car for decades. Nowthe new
generation has arrived to further extend this lead. With innovative turbo flat engines,
an advanced chassiswith an even greater spread between performance and comfort
and a new infotainment system, it is exceedinglywell-equipped for this.Thanks to
more than four decades of experiencewith turbo engines - in bothmotor racing and

Many exterior features of the 911 Carrera
have been visually refined: these range
from new headlights with four-point
daytime running lights to door handles
without recess covers, a redesigned
rear lid with vertical louvres and new
rear lights, including the characteristic
four-point brake lights. In the interior,
the new standard Porsche Communica-
tion Management with a multi-touch
display offers a considerably expanded
range of functions and greatly simplified
operation.

pressors, a specific exhaust system and
tuned engine management.
The new Porsche engines are charac-
terised by significantly increased torque
(60Nm in each case) with maximum
torque of 450Nm and 500Nm respectively
delivered constantly from a low 1,700
rpm up to 5,000 rpm in both cases, thus
ensuring excellent driving performance.
At the same time with a maximum speed
of 7,500 rpm the new engine generation
clearly exceeds the top speeds of conven-
tional turbo engines, underscored by the
typical sonorous Porsche engine sound.
