The new Porsche 911 Carrera 2009Efficiency, power and sportiness. Since the very beginning, easily the most important virtues of the Porsche 911 Carrera. They are the basis of the traditional sportscar. Again, we’ve been working on it. Again, with success.
In terms of efficiency, its new engine now has direct fuel injection.
The power is provided by a 3.6-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine, positioned low down in the rear of the chassis. As usual.
With this power unit, the new Porsche 911 Carrera is now able to deliver 254 kW (345 hp) at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 390 Nm at 4,400 rpm. All this with a 9% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 6% reduction in fuel consumption in conjunction with the manual gearbox. Compelling figures. Just like these: 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 289 km/h (180 mph).
The six-speed manual sport transmission with self-adjusting clutch, fitted as standard, ensures that the correct ratio is always at hand. Sporty and imposing describes the two new single tailpipes. Just like the typical Porsche sound.
The standard 18-inch Carrera IV wheels have also been restyled. The black, four-piston aluminium monobloc calipers of the new brake system have been made even more rigid by their closedtype design. The rear brake discs are 4 mm thicker and their diameter has been increased to 330 mm front and rear – for even better braking performance.
More safety features are now available as standard, including enhanced Porsche Stability Management and bi-xenon headlights.
Efficiency, power, sportiness. Three virtues that distinguish the new Porsche 911 Carrera. Intrinsically.
