The 911 Carrera S.
It’s not only heritage that defines character.
Values do, too.
385 hp @ 6,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 4.5 s
Top Track Speed: 188 mph
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-liter engine with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). Power output: 385 horsepower at 6500 rpm. Maximum torque: 310 Ib.-ft. at 4400 rpm.
Values that are impressive in themselves: 0–60 in 4.5 seconds. Top track speed isn’t reached until 187 mph. Also available as an option is the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which improves acceleration values further still: 0–60 in 4.3 seconds.
And if you combine PDK with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus, the sprint to 60 mph takes just 4.1 seconds.
Additionally, the sound produced by the two stainless steel twin tailpipes is characteristic. Characteristically Porsche.
The four-piston, aluminum monobloc 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) is also offered as an option. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the 0.39-inch (10mm) lowered suspension offer a balance of ride comfort and roadholding.
For those who appreciate more uncompromising qualities, the PASM sport suspension with a 0.79-inch (20mm) reduction in ride height and a mechanically locking rear differential is available as an option, whichever transmission you choose.
However, along with all these sporting features, this remains a practical everyday sports car, as evidenced by the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and the optional dynamic cornering lights.
To sum it up, the inner strength of the 911 Carrera S is pure performance.
