It’s not only heritage that defines character.
Values do, too.
The 911 Carrera S.
As far as the 911 Carrera S is
concerned, the driver can take
this quite literally. This is where
performance is paramount. The
car’s performance values are a
testament to its inner strength:
a 3.8-litre engine with direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 40). Power
output: 283 kW (385 hp) at
6,500 rpm. Maximum torque:
420 Nm at 4,400 rpm.
Values that are impressive in
themselves: 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) in 4.7 seconds.
Top
speed isn’t reached until
302 km/h (187 mph). Also
available as an option is the
Porsche Doppel kupplung (PDK,
p. 55), which improves accele-
ration values further still:
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
4.5 seconds.
And if you combine PDK with
the optional Sport Chrono
Package Plus (p. 74), the sprint
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph)
takes just 4.3 seconds.
Additionally, the sound produced
by the two stainless steel
twin tailpipes is characteristic.
Characteristically Porsche.
The four-piston aluminium mono-
bloc calipers have a striking red
painted finish and the generously
dimensioned brake discs make for
outstanding deceleration. These
complement the 19-inch Carrera S
II wheels with their sporty design.
The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 88) is also
offered as an option.
Perfect road holding is assured
by the Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM, p. 72) and
the 10-mm lowered suspension.
For those who appreciate more
uncompromising qualities, the
PASM sports suspension with a
20-mm reduction in ride height
and a mechanically locking rear
differential is available as an
option whichever gearbox you
choose.
However, along with all these
sporting features, this remains
a practical everyday sportscar.
As evidenced by the Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, p. 100) and the optional
dynamic cornering lights.
To sum it up, the inner strength
of the 911 Carrera S does not
only manifest itself in pure
performance values. Not only,
indeed, but also.
