Porsche 911 Carrera

Porsche is raising the sportiness, efficiency and environmental compatibility of the classic rearengined 911 to an even higher level than before. The all-new power units in the 911 Carrera models with their 3.6-litre and the 911 Carrera S versions with their 3.8-litre power units come with direct fuel injection and are even available as an option with Porsche’s new double-clutch transmission (PDK).

The flat-six power units featuring direct fuel injection develop 345 bhp (254kW), that is 20 bhp more than before, in the 3.6-litre version. Output of the
3.8-litre power unit in the S-models is up by 30 to 385 bhp (283 kW), pushing the extra-powerful S-version beyond the magic speed barrier of 300 km/h or
186 mph.

Despite this supreme power and performance, the new models in the 911 range once again boast a significant reduction of fuel consumption, the 911 Carrera Coupé with manual gearbox making do with an average of just 10.3 litres/100 km (equal to 27.4 mpg imp), the PDK version offering even greater fuel economy with average fuel consumption of just 9.8 litres/100 km, equal to 28.8 mpg imp (combined overall fuel consumption to the EU5 standard).

The new Carrera models are Porsche’s first sports cars for the road to feature the Porsche double-clutch transmission (PDK). Having introduced the PDK
transmission in motorsport more than 20 years ago, Porsche has been acknowledged ever since as the pioneer of this outstanding technology.

The double-clutch transmission in Porsche’s new sports cars comes with seven gears shifting electrohydraulically without the slightest interruption of traction, power and pulling force. Hence, the brand-new transmission combines the benefits of a manual gearbox with those of an automatic transmission, ensuring the outstanding dynamic performance of a thoroughbred sports car together with superior gearshift comfort and fuel economy.
