Every element fulfils a function. From this principle, the Porsche 911 Carrera S draws its inner strength. The logical consequence of this is the 911 Carrera’s very low drag coefficient of 0.29.

The air intakes on the new front end have been enlarged to provide increased cooling power and give an even more dynamic appearance.

Porsche 911 Carrera S Sports Car

As far as the 911 Carrera S is concerned, the driver can take this quite literally. This is where performance is paramount. The 911 Carrera S’ performance values are a testament to its inner strength: a 3.8-liter engine with direct fuel injection (DFI). Power output: 385 hp at 6,500 rpm. Maximum torque: 4,400 rpm.

Values that are impressive in themselves: 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Top speed isn’t reached until 187 mph. Also available as an option is the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which improves acceleration values further still: 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.

Accurate and involving: the six-speed manual gearbox is the link to each and every gear. The cable-operated gearshift unit is designed for optimum progression through the gears and the gear lever is insulated from the engine and gearbox.
