Its 3.6-litre horizontally-opposed six-cylinder power unit with biturbo technology develops maximum output of 530 bhp (390 kW) at a speed of 6,500 rpm. Maximum torque of 680 Newton-metres or 501 lb-ft, in turn, is maintained consistently over a speed range from 2,200 – 4,500 rpm. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 3.7 seconds and the new top sports model within the 911 Series reaches a staggering top speed of 329 km/h or 204 mph. Starting with the new model year, the GT2 for the first time comes with new PCM Porsche Communication Management complete with touchscreen Technology (see page 133). Full of character, full of efficiency The low-slung spoiler lip at the front and the rear wing so characteristic of this very special model give the 911 GT2 remarkable down force both front and rear, while at the same time maintaining the silhouette so characteristic of this top model. Low weight of 1,440 kg or 3,175 lb, rear-wheel drive and a superior drag coefficient of Cd = 0.32 ensure not only exceptional sportiness and performance, but also a supreme standard of all-round efficiency. As a result, the 911 GT2 consumes just 12.5 litres/100 km of premium plus fuel in the composite EU test (equal to 22.6 mpg imp), thus offering a standard of fuel economy exceptionally good for a car of this kind. Unique: the expansion intake manifold Using the oscillating air during the cooler expansion phase is a genuine revolution in turbocharged engine technology. So benefiting from the unique expansion-type intake system with its own special geometry and an exhaust gas turbocharger with variable turbine geometry operating at a maximum pressure of 1.4 bar, new 911 GT2 offers an extra 50 bhp over the already very powerful 911 Turbo. 2 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 GT2 Chassis with PASM and ceramic brake system Compared with the 911 Carrera, the 911 GT2 has been lowered by approx 25 mm or 1.00", with the chassis and suspension geared specifically to the needs of this very dynamic car. And as one would rightly expect of a Porsche sports car, the GT2 comes with unusually powerful and effective brakes, PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes featuring brake discs measuring 380 millimetres or 14.96" in diameter at the front and 350-millimetre (13.78") brake discs at the rear fitted as standard on this top-of-the-range sports model. Three-stage PSM and Launch Assistant Featured for the first time in the 911 GT2, PSM Porsche Stability Management can be deactivated in two stages, with the ABS anti-lock brake system always remaining active: The driver is able to deactivate lateral and longitudinal dynamic control in a successive process, thus gearing the car's driving behaviour to his individual demands and requirements. The Launch Assistant, in turn, enables the driver, via the engine control unit, to accelerate with optimum power and performance from a standstill, TC Traction Control ensuring optimum longitudinal dynamics in the acceleration process. Titanium exhaust gas system and folding sports bucket seats The new 911 GT2 is the first Porsche homologated for road use to be fitted as standard with an exhaust system featuring a titanium rear-end silencer and titanium tailpipes. Compared with a comparable silencer made of stainless steel, titanium reduces the weight of the entire system by approximately 50 per cent. Another feature to be admired in the 911 GT2 for the first time is the sports bucket seats likewise fitted as standard. And a further advantage in this case is that the backrests fold individually to any desired position, maintaining optimum lateral stability at all times. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 GT2 3 The Porsche 911 GT2 Top Performance in the 911 The 911 GT2 is the top performer in the 911 model series. Through its striking design with extra-large air intake scoops at the front and the characteristic rear wing, this fastest of all models in the 911 series clearly demonstrates its supreme performance right from the start, before even setting off. Indeed, these design and streamlining features so characteristic of the 911 GT2 give the car an exemplary drag coefficient of Cd = 0.32, together with downforce on both the front and rear axle. Available only with a manual six-speed gearbox, the 911 GT2 supersports accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 329 km/h or 204 mph. Two turbochargers for extra power The power unit of the 911 GT2 is based on the flat-six already featured in the 911 Turbo, with two exhaust gas turbochargers using variable turbine geometry (VTG) providing the requisite supply of air. Maximum output of 530 bhp (390 kW) from this 3.6-litre boxer engine comes at 6,500 rpm, peak torque is 680 Newton-metres (501 lb-ft) maintained consistently over a wide speed range between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm. And with the car's unladen weight being just 1,440 kg or 3,175 lb, the power-to-weight ratio is 2.72 kg or 6.00 lb per horsepower. Innovative air supply The extra power of the engine in the 911 GT2 versus the 911 Turbo is provided by two exhaust gas turbochargers with an enlarged compressor wheel and the flow-optimised turbine housing, both of which are laid out for even higher charge pressure. A further point is that Porsche's engineers have for the first time combined the turbocharged power unit in the 911 GT2 with a so-called expansion-type intake manifold – a genuine revolution in the concept of turbocharged power units. The principle applied in this case is to use the oscillating intake air during the cooler expansion phase to prepare the fuel/air mix- 4 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 GT2 ture, keeping the temperature of the fuel/air mixture lower than in the engine of the 911 Turbo. This ensures a significant increase in all-round efficiency – more power on less fuel, with fuel consumption dropping by up to 15 per cent under full load. As a result, average composite fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) of 12.5 litres/100 km or 22.6 mpg imp is exceptionally good for a car of this class – and thanks to its new exhaust system, the 911 GT2 also outperforms the EU4 emission standard. Light exhaust system The 911 GT2 offers outstanding developments and highlights not only on the intake manifold, but also on the exhaust side: This is the first Porsche homologated for the road to feature a rear-end silencer and tailpipes made as standard of titanium, an extra-light but stable material. Weighing approximately 9 kilos, the silencer is roughly 50 per cent lighter than a comparable component made of stainless steel. Setting off with the Launch Assistant The Launch Assistant enables the driver to set off with optimum performance and enjoy simple handling at all times. To activate the Launch Assistant, all the driver has to do is press down the throttle in full with the car at a standstill, the appropriate gear in mesh, and the clutch pedal pressed to the floor. Then the system will automatically set engine speed to exactly the right level, the driver's only task then being to take his foot off the clutch as quickly as possible in order to accelerate the car with maximum speed and power. In this process PSM Porsche Stability Management prevents the car from “twitching", with the full power of the engine being transmitted smoothly to the road. Rear-wheel drive on the 911 GT2 comes with an asymmetrical limited-slip differential maintaining a locking factor of 28 per cent under power and 40 per cent in overrun. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 GT2 5 Porsche's top-performance sports car runs on 19-inch wheels combined with specially developed tyres measuring 235/35 at the front and 325/30 at the rear. Tyre pressure, finally, is supervised and maintained by sensors in the tyre pressure control system also featured as standard. Specially set-up PASM damper system and upgraded PSM The chassis and suspension of the 911 GT2 is based on the chassis of the 911 GT3, while at the same time the entire set-up is approximately 25 millimetres or 1.00" lower and firmer than on the 911 Carrera. PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management featured as standard on the new 911 GT2 has also been modified accordingly, with somewhat firmer and tauter damper action in the Normal mode, as opposed to an extra-firm and taut suspension in the Sports mode suited ideally for use on the race track. The 911 GT2 comes as standard with PCCB brakes featuring ceramic brake discs. The exceptional features of this brake system include in particular a very fast response, enormous stability against fading, superior safety reserves, and low weight. Compared with grey-cast-iron brakes of the same size, PCCB reduces unsprung masses in the car by approximately 20 kg or 44 lb. Yet another innovative feature developed by Porsche's engineers for the 911 GT2 is PSM Porsche Stability Management specifically tailored to the new model: Giving the driver the option to deactivate various components, this special driving stability system meets the demands of even the most sporting and dynamic motorist. To set up the system to his specific requirements, all the driver has to do is press two buttons in the front centre console: Pressing the SC OFF (SC: Stability Control) button, the driver deactivates lateral dynamic control. By additionally pressing the SC+TC OFF (TC: Traction Control) button, the driver also switches off longitudinal dynamic control, while the ABS brake system remains active at all times. 6 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 GT2 Innovative sports bucket seats The high-performance concept of the 911 GT2 also includes sports bucket seats made of a very light combination of glass- and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (GFP/CFP) with a visible carbon surface, featured as standard on the new model. Incorporating a new type of manual adjustment, the sports bucket seats combine unusually good side stability with enhanced access to the area behind the front seats, thanks to the backrests tilting forward whenever required. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo 7 The Porsche 911 Turbo Highlights For the first time the power unit of the Porsche 911 Turbo features an exhaust gas turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG) for efficient control of the exhaust gas flow throughout the entire range of engine speed, guiding the flow of air in exactly the right direction and at the right angle to the turbine blades. The result is engine output of 353 kW (480 bhp) from a capacity of 3.6 litres. Maximum torque, in turn, is 620 Newton-metres (457 lb-ft) starting at a very low 1950 rpm. Like the GT2, the 911 Turbo as of the new model year comes for the first time with new PCM Porsche Communication Management complete with touchscreen control (see page 133). Fully-controlled four-wheel-drive Benefiting from a newly developed four-wheel-drive management system, the 911 Turbo is able to convert the enormous power of the engine into practical performance on the road with optimum traction in every situation: PTM Porsche Traction Management features an electromagnetically controlled multiple-plate clutch for optimum distribution of power frontto-rear. Responding within fractions of a second to both driving and road conditions, PTM is able to immediately transmit more power to the front wheels whenever required. Fast with six-speed manual, even faster with Tiptronic S The supreme power and torque of the engine are appropriately reflected by an even higher standard of dynamic performance on the road: Equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox, the 911 Turbo accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. And featuring optional Tiptronic S, the car completes the same sprint even faster in just 3.7 seconds. This makes the 911 Turbo the first sports car from Porsche with even faster acceleration in the automatic mode than in manual – a result of the interaction of the turbochargers with their variable turbine geometry, Porsche Traction Management, and the Tiptronic S set-up. 8 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Extra power: Sports Chrono Package Turbo with Overboost The optional Sports Chrono Package Turbo provides a brief overboost of power: Turbocharger pressure is increased to an even higher level in this mode, boosting torque by 60 Newtonmetres to a staggering 680 Nm or 501 lb-ft. This overboost is naturally a great advantage in short, interim acceleration and overtaking manoeuvres. Active suspension featured as standard The top all-wheel-drive model in the 911 model range comes as standard with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management giving the driver the choice of either a sporting but comfortable standard set-up (Normal mode) or a particularly sporting and dynamic set-up (Sports mode). High-performance efficient brake system Reflecting the car’s truly outstanding performance, the 911 Turbo features a truly outstanding brake system. Indeed, the brake concept on the front wheels has been carried over from the Carrera GT, with six-piston brake callipers in conjunction with 350-millimetre (13.78") brake discs ensuring supreme stopping power. The high-tech brake configuration also feeds more brake power to the rear wheels, where four-piston brake callipers again interact with brake discs measuring 350 millimetres in diameter. Two other features are pre-loading of the brake system and the Brake Assistant both serving to shorten stopping distances even further when applying the brakes all-out. The 911 Turbo is also available as an option with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes for truly outstanding brake qualities ensured by ceramic brake discs now developed to an even higher standard and even larger in their dimensions than before. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo 9 Tiptronic S with new dynamic driving functions Whenever the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal abruptly, the Fast-Off function also prevents the Tiptronic transmission from shifting up even if the driver does not release the gas pedal completely. This improves driving dynamics to an even higher standard, particularly on winding roads and serpentines. The additional Fast-Back function, in turn, enables the driver to shift down more quickly when applying the brakes in a sporting style and moving over quickly from the gas to the brake pedal. When braking into a bend, for example, Fast-Back automatically helps to find the right gear for subsequently accelerating dynamically out of the bend. Very high standard of passive safety Like the entire 911 model series, the top-of-the-range 911 Turbo offers a supreme standard of passive safety: Apart from full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger, the entire range of six airbags includes two head airbags in the side window sills interacting in a sideon collision with thorax airbags in the front seat backrests in a combination offered worldwide by Porsche as the very first manufacturer. Reversing the weight spiral Despite the change in dimensions and the car’s additional functions, the 911 Turbo is lighter than its predecessor – a significant benefit also ensured by the doors made completely of aluminium. Weighing just 11 kilos or 24 lb, the doors, together with other lightweight features, help to give the car a DIN unladen weight of 1585 kg or 3495 lb. The power-to-weight ratio, in turn, is an outstanding 4.49 kg per kW or 3.3 kg per horsepower. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo 11 The Porsche 911 Turbo Innovative Technology for Supreme Driving Dynamics Offering a truly cutting-edge package of new, innovative technology features, the Porsche 911 Turbo sets an unprecedented benchmark in driving dynamics. The key elements of this package are the two turbochargers for the first time featuring variable turbine geometry (VTG) as well as Porsche's fully controlled four-wheel-drive PTM Porsche Traction Management. Interacting efficiently with one another, these two systems offer the driver even more dynamic performance than ever before: Accelerating all-out with an optimum six-speed manual gearshift, the 911 Turbo reaches 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and hits the 160 km/h-mark within 8.4 seconds. And even this is not all, since the combination of new turbocharger technology and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with the specially set-up Tiptronic S makes the car's acceleration even faster: Fitted with optional Tiptronic transmission, the 911 Turbo accelerates to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.7 seconds. Top speed with both types of transmission, finally, is 310 km/h or 192 mph. Dynamic looks The 911 Turbo comes right at the top of the 911 model series not only on account of its supreme performance. The exterior design of the car is also a lot more sporting and dynamic than before, at the same time clearly revealing that this top-performance athlete is a full member of the 911 Series: Strikingly chiselled intake air scoops with integrated LED direction indicators and foglamps moved far to the outside give the front end a unique, characteristic look. The rear end, in turn, exudes an even more distinctive impression of power thanks to the wheel arches widened by 22 millimetres or 0.87" and the tailpipes moved up even higher. The side air intakes behind the doors have also been re-designed, again contributing to the special character of the 911 Turbo. 12 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Significant progress in technology: turbocharger with variable turbine geometry The supreme performance of the car is attributable in particular to the special turbocharger technology boasted on the six-cylinder power unit: Using special materials extremely resistant to high temperatures, Porsche's engineers have succeeded in developing an exhaust gas turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG) able to withstand very high exhaust gas temperatures of up to 1000° C or 1830° F also on a gasoline engine. So now one turbocharger with variable turbine geometry offers the advantages of both a small and a large turbocharger all in one. In practice, this means that the two turbines featured for the first time as a team are able to use exhaust energy at all times and under all operating conditions for an optimum boost effect. The result of this superior technology is maximum output of the flat-six power unit of 353 kW (480 bhp) at 6000 rpm – and this with engine capacity of exactly 3.6 litres. Peak torque, in turn, is 620 Newton-metres (457 lb-ft) throughout a speed range from 1950 to 5000 rpm, with a much better response than an engine with a conventional turbocharger. Overboost for even faster acceleration As an option the 911 Turbo is available with the Sports Chrono Package Turbo including Overboost as one of its special features for even faster acceleration: Pressing the Sports button, the driver is able to boost turbocharger pressure in the medium speed range briefly by approximately 0.2 bar, increasing torque by another 60 to 680 Newton-metres or 501 lb-ft in the interest of even faster acceleration and extra flexibility. In this case the 911 Turbo accelerates from 80 – 120 km/h (50 – 75 mph) in its second-highest gear in just 3.5 instead of 3.8 seconds (manual) or, respectively, in an even more impressive 3.3 instead of 3.5 seconds (Tiptronic S). Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo 13 All-wheel-drive management featured for the first time on a Porsche sports car The 911 Turbo combines more torque and more power with a significant improvement of power transmission ensured by fully controlled management of the car's four-wheel drive: Featured as standard, PTM Porsche Traction Management combines driving pleasure typical of Porsche offered by the engine mounted at the rear and rear-wheel drive with truly unique driving stability, traction, and agile handling. To achieve this superiority, PTM transmits exactly the right percentage of engine power to the front wheels in each situation via an electromagnetically controlled multiple-plate clutch. Operating within 100 milliseconds at the very most, PTM responds more quickly than the engine to a change in load and more quickly than even the driver himself will ever notice. It is fair to say, therefore, that Porsche fourwheel drive is able to literally “look ahead". On the road this means superior agility on narrow country lanes, excellent traction and a high standard of all-round safety even in extreme driving manoeuvres at high speeds and on wet or snow-bound surfaces. Safe driving dynamics with PSM and an optional limited-slip differential In the 911 Turbo PTM Porsche Traction Management communicates directly with PSM Porsche Stability Management also featured as standard. A further important benefit is that Stability Management is now supplemented by enhanced brake functions, pre-loading of the brake system serving to further shorten stopping distances when applying the brakes all-out. And should the driver apply the brakes quickly, but not with full force, the Brake Assistant is activated and the hydraulic pump serves to build up full brake pressure for ABS brake action on all four wheels. As an option, Porsche also offers the genuine enthusiast a mechanical rear axle wheel lock with asymmetric distribution of engine power further enhancing the driving dynamics of the fully controlled Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive system. 14 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Active damper system for individual adjustment of the car's driving characteristics Equipped with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, the 911 Turbo comes as standard with yet another active control system for supreme driving dynamics. This computerbased damper system benefits from direct interaction of PTM and PSM, with control functions matched appropriately to the car's driving dynamics. The driver has the choice of the Normal and Sports mode, with continuous damper adjustment being either more comfort-oriented or extra sporting and firm, depending on the setting chosen. In a nutshell, therefore, the 911 Turbo adjusts in its driving behaviour to the driver's individual wishes and preferences. Superior brake performance with optional ceramic brakes Following Porsche's straightforward safety philosophy, extra engine power always requires an appropriate increase in brake power. Precisely this is why the front wheels come with sixpiston fixed-calliper brake discs measuring 350 millimetres (13.78") in diameter. Providing the same efficiency, the brake discs at the rear now also measure 350 millimetres in diameter and interact with four-piston fixed callipers. Like all models in the 911 series, the new Turbo is naturally available as an option with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. Offering an even higher standard and featuring brake discs at the front measuring no less than 380 millimetres or 14.96" in diameter, this supreme brake system offers an even faster response, fading-free qualities of the highest standard, and complete avoidance of any corrosion. And last but certainly not least, PCCB brakes are approximately 17 kg or 37 lb lighter than the brake system with grey cast iron brake discs. Very good drag coefficient Boasting a perfect suit tailor-made for supreme performance, the 911 Turbo also offers excellent aerodynamics. Despite the wide body, substantial intake of cooling air, and 19-inch wheels, the drag coefficient is just 0.31. At the same time Porsche's engineers ensure low lift forces on the front axle and high downforces at the rear, above all as a result of the ex- Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo 15 tending split wing above the engine compartment lid. Even at top speed, therefore, the driver enjoys all the benefits of a high-performance sports car with safe driving characteristics, superior driving stability, and clear-cut, easily calculable reactions. Aluminium doors for even less weight Yet a further special feature on the 911 Turbo is the doors made of aluminium, over and above the light-alloy front lid. Thanks to a special production technique, the doors offer the same safety in a collision as the steel doors on the Carrera models. But at the same time they weigh just 11 kilos or 24 lb, reducing the weight of the car in all by 14 kilos or 31 lb. So with its unladen weight of 1585 kg (3495 lb), the 911 Turbo, despite a wider range of equipment, is 5 kg lighter than its predecessor. Wide range of sophisticated features inside the car The interior of the 911 Turbo features leather upholstery and trim as standard, based on the interior design of the current generation of the 911 Carrera. The instruments with their aluminium-coloured faces come in Porsche's characteristic 911 design boasting the name “Turbo" in the rev counter. White light-emitting diodes make the faces of the instruments even brighter at night, and for the first time turbocharger pressure is also shown as a bar diagram in the display in the round central instrument. And last but certainly not least, the car's new interior design features a gearshift lever in special Porsche Turbo look. Like its predecessor, the 911 Turbo comes as standard with PCM Porsche Communication Management including a DVD navigation module. The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System comprising no less than 13 loudspeakers and a seven-channel digital amplifier offers a unique experience in acoustic quality. As an option, PCM may be further upgraded through the addition of a telephone module and an electronic logbook. Further features coming as standard on the 911 Turbo include rear-view mirrors with an automatic anti-dazzle function and a theft warning system monitoring the car by way of radar sensors both in the interior and with contact surveillance on the outer skin. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 17 The Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Highlights In a truly unique manner, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet combines outstanding performance and driving dynamics with the ultimate thrill of open-air motoring and safety on the road. In the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, engine output of 480 bhp (353 kW) is required to handle unladen weight of just 1655 kg (3649 lb). Equipped with Tiptronic S, the Turbo Cabriolet accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, continuing on to 200 km/h in 12.6 seconds and finally reaching a top speed of 310 km/h or 192 mph. Fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle, on the other hand, is just 12.9 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 21.9 mpg Imp. All-wheel drive and suspension with electronic management The car’s dynamic driving package made up of PTM Porsche Traction Management, a unique concept of electronically masterminded all-wheel drive, PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, and PSM Porsche Stability Management, efficiently converts the supreme power of the engine into optimum driving dynamics. On PTM all-wheel drive an electromagnetically controlled multiple-plate clutch ensures optimum power distribution front-to-rear, PTM responding within fractions of a second and feeding extra drive power to the front wheels whenever required in the interest of extra traction and stability. Acting just as quickly within fractions of a second, PASM controls the car’s dampers according to driving conditions and surface requirements, enabling the driver to choose either a sporting but comfortable basic set-up (Normal program) or a particularly sporting and dynamic mode (Sports program). 18 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Turbocharger with variable geometry The secret of the very high output per litre developed by the engine of the 911 Turbo is the first-ever use of turbochargers with variable geometry ensuring precise control of the flow of exhaust gas throughout the entire speed range and exact guidance of the gas flow to the turbine blades. The result is output per litre from the 3.6-litre flat-six of 133.3 bhp (98.1 kW) and maximum torque of 620 Newton-metres (457 lb-ft) all the way from 1950 to 5000 rpm. In practice this means spontaneous and powerful thrust for the driver starting from idle speed. Sports Chrono Package Turbo for even more power At the touch of a button, the optional Sports Chrono Package Turbo provides an additional short burst of extra torque: Generating a particularly high level of turbocharger pressure, this special feature increases the thrust of the engine by another 60 to a total of 680 Newtonmetres or 501 lb-ft. The result of this Overboost function, as it is called, is even faster acceleration in gears, cutting the time required for accelerating in the second-highest gear from 80-120 km/h, for example, from 3.9 to a mere 3.6 seconds. Six-speed manual or Tiptronic S The Turbo Cabriolet comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, plus the option to choose Porsche’s Tiptronic S transmission as a special feature also on this high-performance open-air sports car. Also featuring manual control via paddles on the steering wheel, this five-speed automatic transmission is geared specifically to the power curve of the turbocharged engine, with gearshift points adjusting infinitely to the particular style of the driver and the profile of the route he is taking. Fitted with Tiptronic S, the open-air 911 Turbo accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than with its manual gearbox. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 19 Light and comfortable: the roof Like the other open-air 911s, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet features a classic soft roof enhanced to an even higher standard in many of its details. Weighing only 42 kilos or 93 lb, the soft roof of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet opens up automatically in just 20 seconds, with the driver or passenger merely being required to press a button in the centre console. Conversely, the roof closes just as quickly as soon as the driver wishes to enjoy the comfort of a closed cabin, and it may be operated at a speed of up to approximately 50 km/h or 31 mph. Outstanding: supreme aerodynamics and driving stability Like the Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé, the Cabriolet has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.31, again placing the car right at the top in the league of open-air supersports performers. And thanks to the active split wing at the rear moving out automatically by 65 millimetres or almost 2.6” at speeds in excess of 120 km/h or 75 mph, lift forces are reduced to the same ultra-low level as on the Coupé – again an absolutely unique effect among production convertibles the world over ensuring exemplary driving stability also at very high speeds. Robust and safe bodyshell With its synthesis of low weight and high body stiffness, its compact dimensions and interior ergonomics tailored to the driver and his passengers, the bodyshell of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a highlight in structural engineering. Intelligent lightweight technology, for example, ensures torsional stiffness of more than 9,000 Newton-metres per degree as a factor absolutely crucial to driving precision and all-round quality, again placing the 911 Turbo Cabriolet right at the top in the international league of open-air performance cars. 20 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Passive safety of the highest standard Like all 911 Cabriolets, the top model in the range offers passive safety of the highest calibre. The range of no less than six airbags comprises not just full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger, but also two head airbags in the side-sills activated together with the thorax airbags in the front-seat backrests in the event of a collision from the side and offered by Porsche as the first manufacturer worldwide. And should there be the slightest risk of a rollover, rollbars masterminded by a rollover sensor move up immediately behind the rear seat backrest. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 21 The Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Muscle Machine with Particular Class In its own highly distinctive manner, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet combines the driving characteristics of a high-performance sports car with all the benefits of open-air motoring pleasure. The top-of-the-range open-air model in the 911 series is the only car in its class to feature a six-cylinder power unit with the most advanced biturbo technology offering the significant advantage of supreme power on minimum weight. The result, clearly, is truly shattering acceleration and stopping power. And at the same time the 911 Turbo Cabriolet guarantees an exceptional standard of agility on the road. Expressing all this in figures, you are looking at 480 horsepower sufficient for acceleration to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h or 192 mph. Use of extremely temperature-resistant materials makes this the first turbocharged power unit from Porsche to feature exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG) in combination with gasoline engine technology. The result is truly outstanding torque and engine power, with the 3.6-litre flat-six churning out maximum power of 480 bhp (353 kW) and peak torque of 620 Newton-metres or 457 lb-ft all the way from 1950 to 5000 rpm. In conjunction with the optional Sports Chrono Package Turbo, this also means an Overboost function for maximum acceleration and pulling force, peak torque increasing briefly in the process to an even more significant 680 Newton-metres or 501 lb-ft. In standard trim this supreme power goes to the wheels of the car through a manual sixspeed gearbox, while five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission is available as an option. All-wheel drive and electronically controlled dampers Electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management both contribute to the outstanding driving dynamics and performance of the top-of-the-range open-air model in the 911 series. The PTM suspension management and control system combines the rear-engine characteristics so typical of a Porsche with even greater driving stability, traction, and agile handling at all times. 22 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet To provide this superiority, PTM feeds exactly the right engine power and torque most appropriate at all times through a variably controllable multiple-plate clutch to the front and rear wheels, making this the first open-air sports car from Porsche with electronically controlled all-wheel drive. A further standard feature on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, serving to adjust the damping system actively to the needs and requirements of an open car. PASM offers the driver the choice of two basic programs – a Normal and a Sports mode. And to ensure optimum conditions in the top-of-the-range open-air 911, Porsche’s engineers have enhanced the system to an even higher level ensuring a supreme standard of active safety in conjunction with PTM all-wheel drive and PSM Porsche Stability Management. High-performance brakes available as an option with ceramic discs Like all models built by Porsche, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet has received special attention also to ensure a truly outstanding brake system with supreme brake power. Upfront six-piston fixed-calliper brakes incorporate inner-vented brake discs measuring 350 millimetres or 13.78" in diameter to quickly and efficiently slow down the Cabriolet capable of a top speed of up to 310 km/h or 192 mph. The brake discs at the rear also measure 350 millimetres or 13.78" in diameter and incorporate four-piston fixed callipers. Like all models within the 911 range, the open-air 911 Turbo is available as an option with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. Now upgraded to an even higher standard and with brake discs measuring 380 millimetres or 14.96" in diameter at the front, this brake system offers an even faster response to the brake pedal, supreme anti-fading qualities, and absolutely no corrosion. A further advantage, finally, is that PCCB brakes are about 50 per cent lighter than brakes incorporating grey-cast-iron brake discs. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 23 Stiff and safe bodyshell The open-air 911 Turbo ranks right at the top worldwide not only in its drag coefficient of just 0.31, but also in its aerodynamic balance. For this is the first open-air model where Porsche’s engineers have succeeded in achieving the same very low lift coefficients as on the Coupé whenever the roof is closed. Benefitting also from the split wing at the rear moving out automatically by 65 millimetres or 2.56" as of a speed of approximately 120 km/h or 75 mph, the Porsche 911 Turbo, as a result, is the only production convertible in the world to benefit from aerodynamic downforces on the rear axle. Supreme performance also demands the utmost in body stiffness of an open-air sports car. Precisely this is why the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, in its structure, is able to withstand all dynamic driving loads and maintain more than ample reserves in the process. With its torsional stiffness of more than 9,000 Newton-metres/degree, the 911 Turbo Cabrio comes right at the top in the highest and most outstanding group of open 2+2-seaters. And like the Coupé, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet features not only a light-alloy front lid, but also doors made of aluminium. This consistent pursuit of lightweight technology so characteristic of Porsche also serves the cause of safety, the open-air 911 Turbo offering an exemplary standard of passive safety in an emergency more than sufficient to fulfil all safety requirements in all of Porsche’s sales markets. This naturally also applies to a rollover, where the A-pillars serving as an rollover safety bar and additional rollbars moving up automatically behind the rear seats secure the driver’s and passengers’ survival area. Top-quality roof and equipment The 911 Turbo Cabriolet comes with a fully automatic folding roof. Made of fabric and light metal, the roof weighs only 42 kilos or 93 lb, thus contributing to the car’s low centre of gravity and, accordingly, to the exceptional standard of all-round performance. At the same time, through its three-layer structure, the soft roof offers very good insulation from exterior noise and a very high standard of protection against both cold and hot weather. 24 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet The roof mechanism may be operated at speeds of up to 50 km/h or 31 mph, with the roof taking only about 20 seconds to open or close completely when at a standstill (including operation of the windows moving up or down). And as an optional extra, finally, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is also available with a hardtop. Finished as standard in leather, the interior of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is identical to that of the Coupé, with the exception of some specific features required only on an open model. As an example, PCM Porsche Communication Management including a navigation module is standard also on the Cabriolet. And like its Coupé counterpart, the Cabriolet also features the BOSE® Surround Sound System complete with a seven-channel digital amplifier interacting with a total of 12 loudspeakers in the open-air 911. Unique Turbo design Like the 911 Turbo Coupé, the Cabriolet also ranks unique both within the 911 model range and versus the competition. Striking cooling air intakes and oval bi-xenon headlights featured as standard, for example, give the front end of the car its characteristic look. A particularly important styling feature on the 911 Turbo models is the LED direction indicators in the side cooling air openings at the front. Further features equally characteristic of the 911 Turbo are the air intakes behind the doors subdivided by a horizontal crossbar and the split wing moving up at speed from the rear end of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S 25 The Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S Highlights Introducing a wide range of new highlights in technology, Porsche is raising the sportiness, efficiency and environmental compatibility of the 911 to an even higher level than before. The Carrera and Carrera S for the first time come with direct fuel injection and, as an option with, Porsche's new double-clutch transmission (PDK). And despite an increase in power by up to 8.5 per cent, the PDK models reduce fuel consumption by more than 13 per cent and CO2 emissions by almost 15 percent. More powerful and fuel-efficient flat-six engines with direct fuel injection The flat-six power units featuring direct fuel injection develop 345 bhp (254 kW), 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). New intake manifold with larger air filters A new intake manifold with two separate round filters enhances the new engine concept to an even higher standard, serving to optimise both torque and engine power. A further advantage is that the new air filters now have to be replaced only once every 90,000 kilometres or 56,000 miles. 26 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S First Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (double-clutch transmission) in series production 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. Start-Off Assistant for setting off more easily and smoothly on an uphill gradient All new models in the 911 Carrera range come as standard with a Start-Off Assistant enabling the driver to set off and manoeuvre the car even more easily and smoothly on a gradient. The system enables the driver to start off on an uphill gradient without rolling back and without the slightest jolt or unsteadiness, not even pulling the handbrake in the process. Mechanical limited-slip differential as an option The mechanical limited-slip differential enhances the dynamic performance of the 911 Carrera to an even higher standard, with 22 per cent locking action under power and 27 per cent in overrun. This improves both traction and driving stability particularly in bends or on varying road surfaces. A further advantage is that this differential lock is available both on manualgearbox and PDK models. PASM sports suspension refined to an even higher standard Featured as standard on the Carrera S models and available as an option on the “basic” versions, Porsche Active Suspension Management or PASM for short has been further refined for the new model generation, giving the new 911 even greater smoothness combined with the same dynamic performance and response as before. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S 27 Upgraded tyre pressure control system Porsche's tyre pressure control system (TPC) upgraded to an even higher standard is also available as an option, permanently monitoring air pressure in each individual tyre. The big advantage of this new generation is the provision of information to the driver even faster than before, tyre pressure being displayed in the instrument cluster within seconds after the driver switches on the ignition. Larger brakes and upgraded PSM for extra safety All new Carrera models feature upgraded, high-performance brakes for superior stopping power and short stopping distances under all conditions. The brake discs now measure 330 millimetres or 12.99'' all round and come with new brake callipers on the Carrera. PSM Porsche Stability Management now also comprises the Brake Pre-Filling and Brake Assistant functions for even faster and more powerful brake response whenever required. And last but certainly not least, PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes are of course still available. Greater safety and individual style ensured by new lights technology The new 911 range comes as standard with bi-xenon headlights illuminating the road ahead. As an option, the new models are available for the first time with dynamic bending lights for excellent illumination on winding roads following the car's steering. Another new feature is the elegant integration of LED light bars in each headlight with individual light graphics. And a further point, finally, is that the rear lights – with the exception of the reversing light – now also use light-emitting diodes. Control and seat comfort further enhanced The new 911 features a larger touchscreen replacing the former PCM monitor in the centre console and halving the number of control keys around the screen. New seat ventilation available as an option enhances seating comfort and ensures even more pleasant driving conditions for the driver and front passenger above all on long journeys. 28 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S Comfort electronics offering even better service Depending on the driver’s and passengers’ individual requirements, Porsche Communication Management (PCM) may be combined with further modules, offering the customer the choice of, say, a navigation module with an integrated 40 GB hard disc, a telephone module with a Bluetooth® interface, as well as the latest generation of voice control. And last but certainly not least, the driver or passenger are now also able to control external audio sources directly from the PCM via USB or iPod® interfaces. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S 29 The Porsche 911 Carrera / 911 Carrera S A Sporting and Efficient Team Brand-new horizontally-opposed power units with direct fuel injection and the first-ever Porsche double clutch transmission (PDK) in a production sports car – these are two essential highlights of the new-generation Porsche 911 Carrera. Both of these technologies are featured for the first time in the Carrera and Carrera S Coupé and Cabriolet. Introducing direct injection of gasoline into the combustion chamber, Porsche's power units are now becoming even more efficient beyond the exemplary standard already offered in the past. At the same time maximum output of the 3.6-litre power unit is up by 20 to 345 bhp (254 kW). Despite this increase in engine power, the manual-gearbox 911 Carrera Coupé requires just 10.3 litres on 100 kilometres, the Cabriolet a mere 10.4 litres (equal to 27.4 and, respectively, 27.2 mpg imp). The improvement of the 911 Carrera S with its 3.8-litre power unit is equally significant, output increasing by 30 bhp to 385 bhp (283 kW). Combined overall fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) is just 10.6 litres/100 km and, respectively, 10.8 litres/100 km on the new models, referring in each case to the Coupé and Cabriolet with manual gearbox (equal to 26.6 and 26.2 mpg imp). In combination with the optional PDK transmission, fuel economy is enhanced to an even higher standard, the 911 Carrera Coupé with PDK averaging just 9.8 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 28.8 mpg imp), the Cabriolet 9.9 litres/100 km (28.5 mpg imp). The equivalent figures for the Carrera S Coupé are 10.2 ltr/100 km (equal to 27.7 mpg imp) and, respectively, 10.3 ltr/100 km, the equivalent of 27.4 mpg imp. Homogeneous combustion for consistently low emissions Direct fuel injection on the new Carrera engines serves to ensure homogeneous operation of the power unit with a most consistent balance of the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber at all times and under all running conditions. Such homo-geneous operation guarantees optimum combustion maintaining consistently low emissions, without making any 30 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S particular requirements in terms of fuel quality. And it almost goes without saying that all new models outperform both the EU5 emission standard in Europe and the LEV II regulations in the USA. Full integration of the direct injection valves into the cylinder heads is the highlight in the far-reaching process of development upgrading the complete engine. A further point is that a two-piece crankcase with integrated crankshaft bearings replaces the former four-piece block with its separate bearing housing. The crankshaft and geometry of the combustion chambers, the oil and water pump as well as the entire intake area are also new in their design and configuration. And again last but not least, the all-new development of the engine helps to save weight, with the new power units being approximately six kilos lighter than their predecessors. First double-clutch transmission on a road-going Porsche sports car Porsche is the first car maker to offer the PDK transmission in a production sports car. Coming as an option, PDK replaces the former Tiptronic S automatic transmission. A very important point is that Porsche gained substantial experience with the double-clutch transmission on the race track more than 20 year ago and is acknowledged as the pioneer of this technology. Now the new double-clutch transmission comes with seven forward gears, offering the driver all the dynamics of a manual gearbox combined with the superior comfort of an automatic transmission. To use the various functions of the double-clutch transmission, the driver can either shift gears by means of paddles on the spokes of the newly developed PDK steering wheel or via the likewise new selector lever in the centre console. Benefiting from the even faster gearshift without the slightest interruption of power and pulling force, the 911 Carrera equipped with PDK transmission accelerates even faster than before: The 3.6-litre Coupé, for example, completes the sprint to 100 km/h in just 4.7 se- Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S 31 conds, another two-tenths of a second faster than the already extremely dynamic manual gearbox version. The Carrera S Coupés are likewise separated by two-tenths of a second, the manual-gearbox model accelerating to 100 km/h in 4.7, the PDK version in 4.5 seconds. This dynamic performance can be enhanced to an even higher level by Porsche's optional Sports Chrono Package Plus offering, first, the additional Launch Control function for optimum acceleration from a standstill and, second, a special gearshift strategy for extremely fast driving, with a very fast gearshift. Launch Control reduces the acceleration times of models equipped with PDK transmission by another 0.2 seconds to 4.5 seconds on the 3.6-litre and 4.3 seconds on the 3.8-litre Carrera S. Start-Off Assistant and Active Suspension Both the PDK transmission and the manual gearbox come as standard with a Start-Off Assistant supporting the driver on an uphill gradient and allowing him to set off smoothly and without the slightest discomfort. As an option all Carrera models are also available with a mechanical limited-slip differential, the 911 Carrera models featuring passive, the Sversions active dampers on the suspension as standard equipment in the same way as in the past. PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management is of course also available as an option on the “basic” models, the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars being re-aligned and newly set-up to reflect the even higher standard of all-round performance. Serving as an additional variant of the Porsche suspension with active dampers, the new PASM sports suspension is intended in particular for the very sporting and dynamic driver. Like the former passive sports suspension, it is based on a firmer suspension set-up lowering the entire car by 20 millilitres or 0.79'' versus the regular suspension. Compared with the former sports suspension, the new active variant raises driving performance to an even higher level while improving motoring comfort at the same time. And last but not least, the new PASM sports suspension lowering the car by 20 millimetres may now be combined not only with the manual gearbox, as used to be the case, but also with the new models featuring the PDK Porsche double-clutch transmission. 32 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S Bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime driving lights, dynamic bending lights The new generation of the 911 stands out clearly not only through its striking front-end with even larger air intakes at the side, but also through its new, upgraded lights technology. Now all new 911s come as standard with bi-xenon headlights as well as new LED daytime driving lights integrated in the front apron above the air intakes at the side. Six LEDs on each side thus give the 911 an even more striking and impressive look than in the past. A further important new option now available on the new 911 models is dynamic headlights following the steering and, accordingly, the course of the road ahead. Particularly on winding roads, this technology ensures excellent illumination of the road at all times. LED technology is now also featured in the newly designed rear lights tapering out to the side. The advantages of this technology are an even longer service life, greater economy with reduced consumption of electric power and, compared with conventional bulbs, an even faster response time in the interest of extra safety. Cabriolet roof further improved Developing the new generation of the 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Porsche gave particular attention to the further improvement of the soft roof and its long-term quality. The objective was to make the roof look virtually brand-new even after long and intense use, with hardly the slightest trace of wear. To achieve this goal the mechanical structure of the roof has been improved, almost doubling its resistance to wear in the process. A further point is that the upgraded roof was required to prove its greater quality in Porsche's usual test using a hydropulser, an all-round test of materials corresponding to an extreme long-distance endurance trial with the roof open. PCM with touchscreen and optional hard disc navigation The sophisticated interior of the 911 Carrera stands out in particular through the control concept enhanced to an even higher level. The key element in controlling and masterminding the car is the new PCM Porsche Communication Management, a central control unit for all audio and communication features designed by Porsche's engineers for an even higher standard of performance, a wider range of functions, and even easier use. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S 33 Precisely for this reason, the new PCM control system comes with a significantly reduced number of control knobs and buttons. The key component is the colour monitor increased in size from 5.8 to 6.5 inches and coming for the first time in touchscreen technology. Menu guidance follows a logical and very clear presentation, the optional navigation module with its integrated 40 GB hard disc now calculating the desired route far more quickly and efficiently. Apart from the usual two-dimensional presentation, the monitor now also presents pictures in various perspectives. A further feature is voice control responding to full, complete words now available for the first time in conjunction with hard disc navigation. Via the PCM, the user is furthermore able to control external audio sources such as an iPod® or a USB stick whenever the car is fitted with the optionally available universal audio interface. Even a TV tuner is available as an option, receiving uncoded analogue and digital DVB T television signals and presenting the pictures on the large PCM monitor. Vented seats for enhanced comfort New seat ventilation available as an option both together with the standard seats and the comfort seats with driver memory makes a further contribution to relaxed motoring and extra comfort for the driver and front passenger. With the intensity of ventilation coming at three levels, a pleasant supply of air is provided by one fan in the seat bottom and a second fan in the backrest. The air flows through a so-called air guidance tissue and from there beneath and behind the seat, rapidly cooling even hot seat surfaces after having been in the sun for a long time. A further advantage is that the system may be combined with the seat heating, consistently withdrawing moisture whenever necessary to offer the driver and front passenger a truly pleasant climate. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S 35 The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S Highlights Power units with direct fuel injection, electronically controlled all-wheel drive, and the optional PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe – the 911 Coupés and Cabriolets featuring all-wheel drive are entering their next generation with no less than three outstanding new technologies. As a result, these supreme sports cars offer an even higher standard of performance and driving dynamics for even greater driving pleasure on far less fuel and with significantly lower emissions. More powerful and fuel-efficient flat-six engines with direct fuel injection The six-cylinder horizontally-opposed power unit with direct fuel injection displacing 3.6 litres develops maximum output of 345 bhp (254 kW), 20 bhp than before. Maximum output of the 3.8-litre power unit in the S models is up by 30 bhp to 385 bhp or 283 kW, giving the Carrera 4S Coupé a top speed of 297 km/h or 184 mph. Despite this even better performance, the new 911 consumes far less fuel than its predecessor, the Carrera 4 Coupé with its optional PDK gearbox reducing fuel consumption under the EU5 standard to a new record low of just 10.1 litres/100 km, equal to 28.0 mpg imp. New in the Carrera 4: electronically controlled all-wheel drive Benefiting from electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive so far exclusive to the 911 Turbo, the new Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S are able to convert their superior power and torque even more appropriately into powerful acceleration and traction on the road in accordance with current driving conditions. The electromagnetically controlled multiple-plate clutch reacting within fractions of a second in PTM Porsche Traction Management ensures optimum distribution of power and pulling force between the front and rear axles. 36 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe replacing Tiptronic S Porsche’s new Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) with its even shorter gearshift times and enhanced fuel economy now replaces the former Tiptronic S. This very special Doppelkupplungsgetriebe for Porsche’s sports cars comes with seven gears shifting electrohydraulically without the slightest interruption of traction and pulling force. Developed especially for the new generation of the Carrera, PDK combines the benefits of a manual gearbox with the advantages of automatic transmission, ensuring supreme sports car performance together with a high standard of gearshift comfort and very economical fuel consumption. Start-Off Assistant for setting off smoothly and easily on an uphill gradient Regardless of the type of transmission, all new versions of the 911 Carrera come as standard with a Start-Off Assistant for setting off or manoeuvring on gradients without the slightest effort. This high-tech feature enables the driver to set off smoothly on an uphill gradient without even having to pull the handbrake. Mechanical limited-slip differential featured as standard A mechanical limited-slip differential featured as standard serves to additionally enhance driving dynamics when driving to the limit on the new all-wheel-drive 911. Locking action is 22 per cent under traction and 27 per cent in overrun, improving traction and driving stability particularly in bends, but also on varying road surfaces. New PASM sports suspension PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management featured as standard on the Carrera S models and available as an option on the “basic” versions has been further refined for the new model generation, adding further comfort and motoring refinement while maintaining the same high standard of driving dynamics as before. For the first time PASM is also available with optional sports suspension lowering the entire chassis by 20 millimetres or 0.79” in the interest of even greater performance both in sports motoring and everyday traffic. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S 37 Enhanced Tyre Pressure Control Porsche’s enhanced Tyre Pressure Control (TPC) permanently monitoring air pressure in each tyre is also available as an option. The big advantage of this new generation of TPC is that the driver receives helpful information even more quickly and efficiently, tyre pressure being presented in the instrument cluster within ten seconds after switching on the ignition. New lights technology for even greater safety and individual style The new 911 comes as standard with bi-xenon headlights illuminating the road ahead – and Dynamic Bending Lights are available for the first time as an option. Serving as new daytime driving lights, the LED front light system boasts an individualised graphic look characteristic of the new model. And the rear lights are now also LED light units, with the exception of the reversing light. Further enhancement of seating comfort New, optional seat ventilation offers an even higher standard of comfort and fatigue-free motoring particularly on long journeys and in hot weather. Adjustable to three levels, this new seat ventilation incorporates a separate fan in the seat bottom and, respectively, in the backrest. High-comfort, ultra-versatile audio and communication system An even larger touchscreen replaces the former monitor on Porsche Communication Management (PCM) in the centre console to provide an even higher standard of all-round ergonomics, halving the number of outer control buttons. Another benefit is that PCM may now be supplemented by further modules such as a navigation module with a fully integrated, 40 GB hard disc, a telephone module complete with a Bluetooth® interface, as well as the latest generation of voice control. And yet a further advantage is that external audio sources can now be controlled directly from PCM via USB or iPod® interfaces. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S 39 The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S More Emotions, Lower Emissions The latest generation of Porsche sports cars with all-wheel drive clearly defined by the number “4” in the model designation is entering the market with a wide range of new technologies on the engine, transmission, and power distribution – the core components of the car. Both power units – again displacing 3.6 litres in the Carrera 4 and 3.8 litres in the Carrera 4S – are brand-new from the ground up and are supplied with fuel by DFI Direct Fuel Injection. The result is yet a further significant increase in efficiency, with more power and torque on less fuel and lower emissions. Porsche’s new PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe replacing the former Tiptronic S as an optional, self-shifting transmission, offers the same benefits. And the third quantum leap in technology offering a significantly higher level of driving pleasure is the transition from hydraulic to electronically controlled all-wheel drive already offering enhanced driving dynamics, extra driving safety, and optimised traction on the 911 Turbo. Fuel/air mixture formation directly in the combustion chamber serves to generate more energy from less fuel – and the results of this far-reaching innovation speak for themselves: Depending on the model, the new all-wheel-drive Carreras offer up to 8.5 per cent more power and performance, 12.9 per cent greater fuel economy, and 15.4 per cent lower CO2 emissions. Specifically, maximum output of the 3.6-litre power unit is up by 20 bhp to 345 bhp (254 kW), while at the same time the Carrera 4 Coupé featuring Porsche’s new PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe consumes only 10.1 litres of gasoline/100 kilometres, equal to 28.0 mpg imp. The various improvements on the 911 Carrera 4S with its 3.8-litre power unit are similarly impressive, an increase in engine output by 30 bhp to 385 bhp (283 kW) coming together with an appropriate decrease in fuel consumption, even the open-air Carrera 4S now consuming only 11.2 litres/100 km in the combined cycle, equal to 25.2 mpg imp. 40 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S Despite their more sophisticated technology, the new power units are approximately six kilos lighter than their predecessors. The crankshaft and combustion chambers are brand-new on both the 3.6-litre and the 3.8-litre engines, smaller stroke and the larger bore keeping effective engine displacement almost the same as before while serving to further enhance the engine’s free-revving performance and spontaneity. In the process of re-designing the engine block and its ancillaries, Porsche’s engineers have also created new, single-piece cylinder heads. And as in the past, the cylinder heads come with VarioCam Plus variable valve management developed by Porsche, with adjustable valve timing on the intake side and valve stroke switchover. Doppelkupplungsgetriebe for even faster acceleration Like every Porsche 911, the new all-wheel-drive models come as standard with a sporting manual gearbox. The increments on the six gears are a carefully balanced synthesis of agility, on the one hand, and economy, on the other. Introducing the new PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe incorporating no less than seven gears, Porsche now offers an alternative to the manual gearbox with features and qualities even greater than those of the manual transmission. PDK serves furthermore to replace the former Tiptronic S. Both the PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe and the manual gearbox come as standard with a Start-Off Assistant supporting the driver on uphill gradients and enabling him to set off smoothly and comfortably without having to use the handbrake. The optical highlight of the 911 Carrera with its PDK gearbox is the new PDK sports steering wheel boasting a new, enhanced control philosophy as well as the newly designed selector lever which, like the paddles on the steering wheel, allows manual control of the transmission. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S 41 In terms of acceleration, the 911 Carrera 4 with PDK, offering an even faster gearshift without the slightest interruption of traction and pulling force, sets up new records: The new 911 Carrera 4 Coupé with Doppelkupplungsgetriebe accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, 8/10ths of a second faster than the former model with Tiptronic S. The Carrera 4S Coupé, in turn, completes the same exercise in 4.5 seconds, as opposed to 5.3 seconds on the former model. Yet another significant feature of the PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe is the reduction of power loss thanks to the high standard of mechanical efficiency and the double clutch optimised to reduce any loss of power to a minimum. While the 911 Carrera 4 Coupé with Tiptronic S, that is the former generation, consumed 11.6 litres/100 kilometres (24.3 mpg imp) in the EU combined cycle, the new model with PDK technology outperforms this figure by 1.5 litres, reducing average fuel consumption to 10.1 litres/100 km, equal to 28.0 mpg imp. The former S model with its 3.8-litre power unit and Tiptronic S, in turn, consumed 11.9 litres /100 kilometres (23.7 mpg imp), whereas now the new 911 Carrera 4S with PDK makes do with just 10.5 litres/100 km (26.9 mpg imp). Available as an option, Sports Chrono Package Plus serves to make the PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe even more dynamic for truly supreme performance at all times. First, the Sports Chrono Package Plus offers the additional Launch Control function for optimum acceleration from a standstill; second, it also provides a gearshift strategy for extremely sporting driving with a very fast gearshift. Hence, Launch Control shortens acceleration times of cars with PDK by another 0.2 seconds, the fastest model in the range being the Carrera 4S Coupé now accelerating to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. All-wheel drive now with electronic control In the new generation of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management replaces the former all-wheel drive with its viscous multiple-plate clutch. Carried over from the 911 Turbo and tailored to the Carrera models, this unique system combines the driving pleasure so typical of a Porsche thanks to the engine at the rear and rear-wheel drive with an even higher standard of driving stability, traction and agile handling. 42 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S To achieve this superiority, PTM feeds the optimum share of engine power under all driving conditions via a multiple-plate clutch to the front wheels. And doing this within 100 milliseconds at the very most, PTM is faster than even the quickest driver will even feel or notice. Porsche’s all-wheel drive therefore “looks ahead”, as it were, in offering optimum driving qualities. In practice this means superior agility on tight country roads, outstanding traction and superior driving safety also in extreme driving manoeuvres at very high speeds. Just how consistently the entire Carrera 4 family is designed and built for driving dynamics is also borne out by the limited-slip differential featured as standard, a mechanical transverse lock on the rear axle enhancing the driving dynamics provided by the fully controlled allwheel-drive system. Sports suspension based on PASM The dynamic driving potential of the all-wheel drive Carrera now raised to an even higher standard demands the utmost of the chassis and suspension. Accordingly, both the convectional chassis on the Carrera 4 and the electronically controlled PASM suspension (Porsche Active Suspension Management) featured as standard on the Carrera 4S and available as an option on the 3.6-litre model have been optimised and fine-tuned to the dynamic potential of the new model. To reflect the even higher standard of performance, the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars on all models have been newly set up, the Cabriolets offering the same unique driving features and performance as the Coupé models, combined and at the same time with a somewhat more comfort-oriented set-up. In upgrading the chassis and suspension, particular attention was given to the fine-tuning of all components on the respective model variants in the interest of perfectly balanced driving behaviour. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S 43 As a special variant of the active suspension, Porsche now offers the PASM sports suspension for the new Coupé models. This very special suspension is conceived for particularly sporting and ambitious drivers, replacing the sports suspension with conventional dampers on the former models. Like the former conventional sports suspension, the new active PASM sports suspension features even firmer springs and lowers the entire car by 20 millimetres or 0.79”. As a result, this new, active suspension enhances driving performance to an even higher standard, together with a further improvement of motoring comfort. Bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime driving lights, Dynamic Bending Lights The new generation of the Porsche 911 stands out right from the start through its discreet but striking upgrade of the front end and the car’s new lights technology. All versions of the new 911 come as standard with bi-xenon headlights and new LED daytime driving lights giving Porsche’s sports cars a unique position in the market also in terms of their looks and appearance. The newly configured rear light clusters also come in LED technology offering a long service life, reducing the consumption of electric power and increasing the standard of driving safety through their faster response than in the case of conventional incandescent bulbs. And last but certainly not least, Porsche for the first time offers Dynamic Bending Lights as an option on the new 911. A feature typical of the Carerra 4: the extra-wide rear end The new generation of the Porsche 911 is also characterised by the car’s typical wheels in new design with five double spokes in V-configuration. The 3.6-litre models come as standard with 235/40 ZR 18 tyres at the front, the S models powered by the 3.8-litre engine feature 235/35 ZR 19 tyres on the front wheels. 44 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S Despite these sporting and muscular wheels, the focus is clearly on the rear axle with wheel arches widely flared in the typical style of the Carrera 4, broadening the rear end by 44 millimetres or 1.73”. At the rear the Carrera 4 comes on 295/35 ZR 18 tyres, and the Carrera 4S boasts 305/30 ZR 19 tyres. Yet another feature characteristic of the all-wheel-drive models is the red trim strip connecting the two rear light clusters on the right and left. PCM with touchscreen and optional hard disc navigation With its upgraded control concept, the interior again shows the driver right from the start that he is sitting in the latest generation of the Porsche 911. The key feature is new PCM Porsche Communication Management with significantly streamlined control buttons and a larger touchscreen monitor (increased in size from 5.8 to 6.5 inches). In conjunction with the universal audio interface available as an option, PCM now enables the user to also mastermind external audio sources such as an iPod® or a USB stick. New seat ventilation available as an option on both the standard and comfort seats makes a further contribution to improved seat comfort and fatigue-free motoring for both the driver and front passenger. The ventilating system may even be combined with seat heating for passenger a pleasant seating climate at all times. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S 45 The Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S Highlights The new 911 Targa is entering the market with new drivetrain technology: The engines featuring DFI Direct Fuel Injection increase maximum output of the 911 Targa 4 to 345 bhp (254 kW) and give the 911 Targa 4S an even more impressive 385 bhp (283 kW). At the same time fuel consumption of the 3.6-litre model is down to 10.6 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 26.6 mpg imp) and the 3.8 litre is almost just as economical at 11.0 litres (25.7 mpg imp). Performance, on the other hand, is once again even better than before, with the Targa 4 reaching a top speed of 284 km/h (176 mph), the Targa 4S an even more spectacular 297 km/h (184 mph). New: fully controlled all-wheel drive for even greater driving dynamics Benefiting from electronically controlled all-wheel drive and the rear axle differential lock now featured as standard, the new Targa 4/4S are able to convert their extra power even better into supreme performance and traction on the road. PTM Porsche Traction Management offers all the qualities required for this purpose, with an electromagnetically controlled multiple-plate clutch ensuring optimum power distribution front-to-rear. And responding whenever necessary within fractions of a second, PTM is able to feed extra drive power to the front axle whenever required. Shifting faster and saving fuel in the process: double-clutch gearbox The new 911 Targa models are available as an option for the first time with the PDK PorscheDoppelkupplungsgetriebe or double-clutch gearbox with no less than seven forward gears. This outstanding transmission combines the benefits of a manual gearbox with those of an automatic transmission, exceeding both conventional systems in terms of both speed and economy. With PDK, the 911 Targa 4 accelerates to 100 km/h in exactly 5.0 seconds, the Targa 4S in an even faster 4.7 seconds – in each case 0.2 seconds faster than the “regular” model with its manual gearbox. And fuel consumption is down in each case by 0.3 litres/100 km under the EU standard. 46 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S Unique sports car concept The Porsche 911 Targa remains absolutely unique and truly exceptional in every respect. With its glass roof extending from the windscreen frame all the way to the engine lid, the perhaps most elegant 911 sets its own unparalleled standard. Made up of the front sliding module and a hinged rear window, the roof offers maximum diversity, with the sliding section opening up a full half-metre and moving beneath the tailgate in the process. A fabric roll cover likewise improved to an even higher standard also moves automatically at the touch of a button beneath the glass roof. The large tailgate, finally, opens up easily and conveniently, providing direct access to the luggage compartment behind the front seats offering capacity of no less than 230 litres or 8.1 cu ft. Extra-wide chassis: sporting but comfortable The very wide chassis on the all-wheel-drive models makes both versions of the Porsche 911 Targa both comfortable and sporting all in one. Wheel arches flared on each side by 22 millimetres or 1.73” and accommodating rear wheels running on 295/35 ZR 18 tyres on the Targa 4 and 305/30 ZR 19 tyres on the Targa 4S give the car a definite sign of distinction. Individual suspension qualities – either conventional or active The Targa is available as before with the alternative choice of two suspensions. Based on the regular suspension of the 911, the new model comes with an active damping system optional on the Targa 4 and standard on the Targa 4S. PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management therefore offers the best of both worlds, combining a more comfort-oriented with an extremely sporting suspension set-up. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S 47 Tyre pressure control system improved to an even higher standard Porsche’s improved tyre pressure control system (TPC) is also available as an option, permanently monitoring air pressure in each tyre. The big advantage of this new generation for the driver is that the information he needs is provided even more quickly and efficiently, current tyre pressure being shown in the instrument cluster within ten seconds after the driver switches on the ignition. New lights technology for extra safety and individual style The new models in the 911 Carrera range come as standard with bi-xenon headlights, with the further option of Dynamic Bending Lights available for the first time. Entering the market as new daytime driving lights, the front-end LED light bars stand out particularly through their individual, highly attractive graphics. The rear lights, finally, are now also energy-saving, long-lasting light-emitting diodes, with the exception of the back-up light at the rear. Seat comfort enhanced to an even higher standard New, optional seat ventilation offers extra comfort particularly on long distances and in hot weather. Operating in three stages, this new system features one fan in the seat itself and in the backrest. Convenient and highly versatile audio and communication system To improve the car’s ergonomics to an even higher standard, the new Targa comes with an even larger touchscreen replacing the former monitor featured by PCM Porsche Communication Management in the centre console. Halving the number of control knobs and buttons, PCM may be supplemented by further modules such as a navigation module with an integrated 40 GB hard disc, a telephone module complete with a Bluetooth® interface or the latest generation of voice control. And last but certainly not least, external audio sources may now also be masterminded straight from the PCM control unit via the optional USB and iPod® interface. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S 49 The Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S New Technology in the Most Elegant 911 Introducing the new 911 Targa, Porsche is completing the fastest generation change ever seen in the 911 model family. Two brand-new engines with DFI Direct Fuel Injection improve both performance and economy at the same time, the fast-shifting Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe or double-clutch gearbox is replacing the former optional Tiptronic S automatic transmission, and electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management is taking the place of the former hydraulically controlled all-wheel drive. The latest model in the new generation of the Porsche 911 comes in two variants as the 911 Targa 4 and the 911 Targa 4S. The “standard” version is powered by a 3.6-litre flat-six developing maximum output of 345 bhp (254 kW) for a top speed of 284 km/h or 176 mph. The power unit featured in the 911 Targa 4S, in turn, displaces 3.8 litres, developing maximum output of 385 bhp (283 kW) and accelerating the car to an even more impressive 297 km/h or 184 mph. Characteristic highlight of the Targa: the glass roof As before, the highlight of the 911 Targa is of course its large glass roof covering an area of no less than 1.54 square metres. Made up of two segments, the front sliding roof and the tailgate, the glass roof at the top slides beneath the tailgate within just seven seconds, opening up a large space of 0.45 square metres. The sliding roof comes as standard with a new, even better insulated roll cover extending over the complete sliding roof area when closed and opening and closing electrically independently of the roof itself. The glass roof and the roll cover come in sundim glass, protecting the driver and passengers from UV radiation and excessive heat also in bright summer sunshine. As a result, temperatures inside the car remain pleasantly low even in hot weather of more than 30° C or 86° F, with the air conditioning switched on. 50 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S The rear segment of the glass roof is made up of the heated tailgate exclusive to the Targa in the 911 model range. Opening up the tailgate, the driver and passengers have convenient access to the storage space behind the front seats offering a capacity of 230 litres or 8.1 cubic feet. New lights technology also as a design element All models in the 911 range now come as standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED technology for the daytime driving lights, the positioning lights, and the rear lights in their particularly striking design. As an option Porsche now also offers Dynamic Bending Lights for the first time on the new 911. A striking sign of distinction on the all-wheel-drive cars – and therefore also on the Targa – is the red rear light band connecting the two rear light clusters left and right and accentuating the extra width of the body up by 44 millimetres or 1.73” at the rear for an even more muscular look from behind. In their design, the rear light clusters merge harmoniously into this special look and style, each of the two rear light clusters comprising no less than 60 LEDs used in part for several functions. New flat-six engines with DFI Direct Fuel Injection Introducing the new Carrera engines, Porsche for the first time offers DFI Direct Fuel Injection also in the company’s sports cars. The advantages are up to 8.5 per cent more power, 11.2 per cent less fuel consumption, and 13.6 lower CO2 emissions, depending on the model and its features. With this extra power, the new Targa models leave hardly anything to be desired, the 911 Targa 4 accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and the even more powerful S-model completing the same exercise in 4.9 seconds – in each case with the manual six-speed gearbox. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S 51 The optional Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe or PDK for short shifts gears even faster to set an even more impressive standard: The self-shifting Targa 4 with its 3.6-litre power unit accelerates to 100 km/h in only 5.0 seconds, the Targa 4S completes the same exercise in 4.7 seconds. And thanks to PDK technology, even the less experienced driver is able to achieve this kind of acceleration at all times under appropriate road conditions. Refined suspension technology Like the other variants of the 911, the Targa 4 comes with a conventional, the Targa 4S with an active suspension. Both suspensions are more comfort-oriented than on the other 911s, but remain characteristic of a thoroughbred sports car. The active PASM suspension available as an option also on the “smaller” model offers a comfort-oriented basic set-up of the dampers in the Normal mode, than taking on a firmer ride once the driver presses the Sports button. In both cases, however, the set-up permanently adjusts to the driver’s particular style of motoring and road conditions, allowing the configuration of all kinds of control maps between the two extremes within fractions of a second as a function of driving dynamics. The wide wheels provide a safe “footprint” for fast lateral acceleration: The Targa 4 comes on 8J x 18 wheels at the front with 235/40 ZR 18 tyres, the 4S features 8J x 19 wheels up front running on tyres measuring 235/35 ZR 19. The rear wheels, in turn, are even larger and wider apart, with tyres measuring 295/35 ZR 18 on the Targa 4 and 305/30 ZR 19 on the Targa 4S. Even faster and more fuel-efficient with the double-clutch gearbox Introducing the new PDK double-clutch gearbox with seven gears, Porsche is offering a completely new technology as an option, with qualities and abilities going beyond those of the manual six-speed gearbox. The PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe replaces the former Tiptronic S automatic transmission, enabling the driver to use the double-clutch functions either by way of paddles in the steering wheel or through the selector lever in the centre console. 52 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S The fundamental difference from the conventional manual gearbox is that the gearshift perceived by the driver does not come from gears actually shifted in the gearbox, but rather from the alternate engagement of the two clutches for an ongoing flow of power at all times. To provide this direct transmission without the slightest interruption of power or traction, the clutch on one gearbox unit is opened and the clutch on the other unit closed at exactly the same time, that is in a simultaneous process. The big advantage is an even faster gearshift than on both a manual gearbox and an automatic transmission with a torque converter. And at the same time PDK allows a much more dynamic style of motoring as well as enhanced agility for greater driving pleasure compared with Tiptronic S, shifting gears up to 60 per cent faster than the former Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Yet a further advantage is that the driver does not have to make any concessions in terms of comfort in the Porsche 911 with PDK transmission, since the new gearbox shifts gears smoothly and gently in a fully automated clutch operation and gearshift process. A further benefit of PDK is the smaller loss of power due to a high standard of mechanical efficiency and the double clutch optimised for minimum power loss. So while the 911 Targa 4 equipped with Tiptronic S used to consume 11.6 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 24.3 mpg imp) in the EU combined cycle, the new model with PDK is a significant 1.3 litres more fuelefficient, reducing average consumption to just 10.3 litres/100 km, equal to 27.4 mpg imp. Similarly, the former S-model with its 3.8-litre power unit and Tiptronic S consumed 11.9 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 23.7 mpg, while the new 911 Targa 4S with PDK makes do with just 10.7 litres (equal to 26.4 mpg imp). The new 911 Targa 4/4S with PDK double-clutch gearshift are available as an option with the Sports Chrono Package Plus incorporating the additional Launch Control function and a special gearshift strategy for extremely sporting and dynamic motoring. Launch Control is an assistance program for optimum acceleration from a standstill, reducing the time required for accelerating to 100 km/h by 0.2 seconds on both models. Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S 53 New all-wheel drive: Porsche Traction Management In the new 911 Targa electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management replaces the former all-wheel drive with its viscous multiple-plate clutch, combining the driving pleasure so typical of a Porsche with its rear-mounted engine and primarily rear-wheel drive with even greater driving stability, traction and agile handling. To provide this special effect, PTM feeds exactly the right share of engine power to the front wheels under all driving conditions via a multiple-plate clutch. And completing this process within 100 milliseconds at the very most, PTM is faster than the engine itself in responding to load change and also faster than driver in his perception of the gearshift. Given these qualities, Porsche all-wheel drive is virtually able to “look ahead” and act in advance, again ensuring supreme agility on narrow country roads, excellent traction and a high standard of driving safety even in extreme manoeuvres at very high speeds. In the process PTM is supported by the rear axle differential lock now featured as standard on all four-wheel drive models, with 22 per cent locking action under traction and 27 per cent in overrun. Exclusive and sophisticated equipment Beneath the glass roof of the 911 Targa, the exclusive and stylish interior of the Porsche 911 shows all its qualities. An important point, therefore, is to combine exactly the right colours with the right material. And to improve control comfort as well as ergonomics to an even higher standard, the engineers and designers responsible for the new generation of the 911 have optimised the centre console in several respects, focusing in particular on the enhanced display and control concept offered by the new PCM Porsche Communication Management. Serving as the central control unit for all audio and communication functions, PCM now offers an even higher standard of performance and is more versatile and much easier to use thanks to the optimised control keyboard on the touchscreen monitor enlarged in size to 6.5 inches. And in conjunction with the optionally available universal audio interface, PCM may now also be used to control and mastermind external audio sources such as an iPod® or USB stick. 54 Model Year 2009 • Porsche 911 Targa 4 / Targa 4S Yet a further important feature offering the driver and front passenger optimum conditions for fatigue-free motoring is the new seat ventilation available as an option on both the standard and comfort seats. This system may also be combined with the seat heating to ensure an ongoing exchange of moisture whenever required, again giving the driver and front passenger the most pleasant climate under all conditions. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S 55 The Porsche Cayman / Cayman S Highlights The two-seater Cayman sports coupé is powered by a 2.7-litre flat-six featuring VarioCam Plus valve management. The Cayman’s six-cylinder power unit develops maximum output of 245 bhp (180 kW) and peak torque of 273 Newton-metres (202 lb-ft) between 4600 and 6000 rpm. Featuring a five-speed gearbox in the car’s standard trim, the Cayman accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 258 km/h or 160 mph. Under the EU standard, average fuel consumption is 9.3 litres/100 km, equal to 30.4 mpg imp. The Cayman S is powered by a 3.4-litre, 295-bhp flat-six accelerating this outstanding sports coupé to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and providing a top speed of 275 km/h or 171 mph. Like all other Porsche models, the two versions of the Cayman naturally fulfil the strict EU4 and ULEV II emission standards. Designed with that familiar Porsche look Both the Cayman and the Cayman S stand out clearly as genuine Porsche models right from the start. In their design, they are reminiscent of the classic look boasted by the 550 Coupé back in 1953 and the Carrera GTS Coupé (Porsche 904) in the ‘60s. And at the same time the Cayman differs significantly in its design and proportions from both the Boxster and the 911. The front end with its foglamps housed in separate units is just as characteristic of the car as the side line with air intakes up front of the rear axle, the distinctly curved roof and the rear end gently tapering out to the back. The rear view is dominated by the large tailgate rounded off smoothly and attractively by the sweeping wheel arches. The successful styling of this mid-engined sports car is rounded off, finally, by an outstanding drag coefficient of just 0.29. 56 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S Powerful and fuel-efficient thanks to VarioCam Plus Like in the various models in the 911 range, the power units in the Cayman come with VarioCam Plus technology, a combination of valve timing on the intake camshaft and valve lift switchover technology. The 2.7-litre features a lighter camshaft and a higher compression ratio than the Cayman S. Output per litre in this case is 91.2 bhp or 66.9 kW. Porsche’s elaborate valve timing gives the Cayman S not only higher output of 295 bhp (217 kW) at 6250 rpm and powerful torque of 340 Newton-metres (251 lb-ft) between 4400 and 6000 rpm, but also low fuel consumption of just 10.6 litres/100 km, equal to 26.6 mpg imp. Sports Chrono for even better performance Porsche offers the Sports Chrono Package for the demanding driver really wishing to use the potential of his sports coupé to the utmost. Boasting even more dynamic engine control maps and operating strategies, the Cayman equipped with the Sports Chrono Package definitely goes to the ultimate limit in every respect. The clearest sign of distinction characterising this special package is the analogue/digital stop watch on the instrument panel allowing a comparison of lap times and driving dynamics down to the last hundredths of a second. The even higher standard of performance made possible by the Sports Chrono Package translates on a race track such as the Nordschleife of Nürburgring into significantly faster lap times down by three significant seconds in the Cayman S. Six airbags for optimum safety Apart from two full-sized airbags protecting both the driver and passenger in a head-on collision, both versions of the Cayman feature the POSIP Porsche Side Impact Protection System incorporating a thorax and a head airbag on each side of the car to ensure most significant safety in a collision from the side. And over and above this extra safety inside the car, both versions of the Cayman outperform the legal standards for head-on, offset, side-on and rear-end collisions, as well as a rollover, in all markets relevant to Porsche. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S 57 Ample loading space in two luggage compartments Thanks to the mid-engine concept and the tailgate moving up to a wide angle, both the Cayman and Cayman S are able to take up ample luggage. The luggage compartment above the front axle offers 150 litres or 5.25 cu ft capacity, the even larger luggage compartment above the rear axle comes with 260 litres or 9.1 cu ft. And beyond this significant loading space, both models come with several large, in some cases lockable, storage boxes. The Cayman S Sport special model Porsche is further enhancing its position also in the mid-engine sports coupé segment by an exclusive and sporting strategy, the very special Cayman S Sport hitting the headlines since September 2008. Limited to an exclusive reduction run of just 700 units, the 303-bhp (223 kW) Cayman S Sport is making its appearance in the market in that typical GT3 look, boasting black 19-inch SportDesign wheels, black exterior mirrors and air intake grids on the outside. Bi-xenon headlights, the Sports Chrono Package and sports seats, together with other special features, then round off the outstandingly sporting and exclusive character of the car. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S 59 The Porsche Cayman / Cayman S The Sporting Athlete The Cayman and Cayman S sports coupes fit in perfectly between the Boxster and the 911 Carrera. Maximum output of 245 bhp (180 kW) from the Cayman’s flat-six at 6500 rpm and peak torque of 273 Newton-metres or 201 lb-ft between 4600 and 6000 rpm ensure appropriate superiority right from the start. Output per litre is 91.2 bhp or 66.9 kW, average fuel consumption is 9.3 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 30.4 mpg imp. This 2.7-litre boxer accelerates the Cayman weighing just 1300 kg or 2867 lb to 100 km/h in a quick 6.1 seconds. Acceleration in fourth gear from 80 – 120 km/h comes in 6.9 seconds, and top speed is 258 km/h or 160 mph. The upgraded version with its six-speed manual gearbox has a top speed of 260 km/h or 161 mph, while the Tiptronic S Cayman reaches a maximum speed of 253 km/h or 157 mph. The 3.4-litre six-cylinder in front the rear axle of the Cayman S develops maximum output of 295 bhp (217 kW) at 6250 rpm, giving this light sports car (1340 kg/2955 lb) a powerto-weight ratio of 4.5 kg/bhp (6.2 kg/kW), sufficient for acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. Top speed, finally, is 275 km/h or 171 mph, attributable, inter alia, to the low drag coefficient of 0.29. Unique design in genuine Porsche style In its design, the Cayman clearly bears out all the styling features of a genuine Porsche, but at the same time is quite unique in its looks and appearance. The characteristic face of the car is formed by the two asymmetric headlights moved far to the outside and large air intake scoops at each side encompassing the foglamps and positioning lights on narrow bars. 60 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S Both versions of the Cayman come as standard with clear glass H7 headlights in projection technology, but are also available as an option with bi-xenon headlights. The lines of the car, as seen from the side, accentuate the particular style of the mid-engine concept and the compact structure of this unique sports coupé. In particular, the side-lines are dominated by the flared, muscular wheel arches and the greater curvature of the roof with the rear end tapering out slowly and gently. The side air intakes, finally, are a tribute to the Boxster, but at the same time differ significantly through the vertical arrangement of the intake strut bars. The rear lights and the centrally positioned exhaust tailpipes also bear out a close resemblance to the Boxster. Indeed, they stand out as genuine highlights in a design language focusing on muscular tension, the sweeping wheel arches flowing smoothly over the rear lights of the car. Lots of loading space at the rear As a very special feature on this very special two-seater, Porsche’s engineers have integrated a 116 x 90-centimetre (45.7 x 35.4-inch) large tailgate at the rear, extending in muscular style all the way to the roofline and offering generous access to the rear luggage compartment. The extra-large luggage space provided in this way comes on two levels separated visibly from one another by a stainless-steel rail. Both models in the Cayman range offer loading space of 185 litres or 6.5 cu ft up to the bottom edge of the rear window, with 260 litres or 9.1 cu ft when using all the space available up to roof level. The volume of the front luggage compartment is 150 litres or 5.3 cu ft, the same as in the Boxster. In all, this means total loading space of up 410 litres or 14.4.cu ft, giving the Cayman, over and above its outstanding sportiness, a high standard of practical value. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S 61 Exemplary aerodynamics: Cd-rating of only 0.29 Offering a Cd-rating of just 0.29, the body of the Cayman comes right at the top versus the competition also in terms of aerodynamics. The know-how which makes this possible is borne out by the car’s technical details and individual features, various improvements serving, for example, to reduce lift forces on all four wheels versus the Boxster by no less than 20 per cent. At the rear this reduction of lift forces is ensured first and foremost by the split wing moving up some 80 millimetres or 3.15” as of a speed above 120 km/h or 75 mph. Contrary to a spoiler of the kind featured on the Boxster, a split wing builds up only very little resistance to the air rushing by, but nevertheless generates adequate downforces through its specific angle. This aerodynamic effect is then further enhanced by the almost complete coverage of the underfloor. Fast-revving six-cylinder with VarioCam Plus Like the six-cylinder power units on the 911, the engines of both Cayman models come with Porsche’s VarioCam Plus technology. Indeed, the cylinder heads come in their entirety from the 911 Carrera, the Cayman thus offering engine characteristics combining powerful torque with maximum output on low fuel consumption. Average fuel consumption of the Cayman is 9.3 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 30.4 mpg imp, with the Cayman S averaging 10.6 litres or 26.6 mpg imp premium plus in the combined EU cycle. Both models outperform the European EU4 emission standard as well as the ULEV II standard in the USA. Power is transmitted on the Cayman by a five-speed gearbox, while the S-version boasts a six-speed gearbox with precise and extra-short and crisp gearshift travel. As an option the Cayman is available with the same six-speed gearbox and both models may be equipped with Porsche’s fully automatic Tiptronic S transmission. 62 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S Firm and sporting suspension In its overall concept, the suspension on the Cayman models is the same as on the comparable versions of the Boxster, but is a lot more sporting and dynamic. This special set-up made possible by the very strong and sturdy bodyshell in terms of both torsional and flexural stiffness gives this outstanding sports coupé truly unique handling and driving behaviour together with substantial safety reserves, without however neglecting the need for motoring comfort. Thanks to the mid-engine concept with its excellent balance of weight, both handling qualities and lateral acceleration reach a very high standard. The best example is the fast lap times of the Cayman S on the race track, completing the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in just 8 minutes and 20 seconds. As an option, both the Cayman and the Cayman S may be equipped with electronically controlled PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management lowering the entire car by 10 millimetres or 0.39” and enabling the driver at the touch of a button to choose two different suspension settings: PASM Normal activates a sporting but comfortable set-up, PASM Sports gives the car an extremely sporting configuration for truly dynamic performance. High-performance brakes finished in red In their basic design and features, the brakes are the same as on the 911 Carrera and the Boxster and therefore cope with even the most extreme loads. On the Cayman S brake power is applied at the front by four-piston monobloc fixed callipers interacting with innervented brake discs measuring 318 millimetres or 12.5” in diameter. At the rear the Cayman S boasts 299 millimetres (11.8”) brake discs for optimum stopping power, again interacting with four-piston monobloc fixed callipers. All four brake callipers are finished in red as a particular sign of distinction. As an option the Cayman S is available with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes featuring in particular four extra-light ceramic brake discs immediately building up high and consistent stopping power and reducing wear to an absolute minimum in everyday traffic. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S 63 The high-performance brake system comes by and large from the car’s even more powerful S-variant, standing out in this case through the monobloc fixed callipers finished in black eloxy paint with four pistons on each brake. Brake disc diameter at the front in this case is 298 millimetres or 11.7”, while the rear brake discs, like on the Cayman S, measure 299 millimetres or 11.8” in diameter. Even greater dynamics with the Sports Chrono Package Yet another unique option exclusive to Porsche is the Sports Chrono Package also available on the Cayman and Cayman S. This special package provides a particularly sporting set-up of various vehicle functions, modifying both engine control and PSM Porsche Stability Management as well as – where fitted – the response and characteristics of both Tiptronic S transmission and the active PASM suspension. Equipped with the Sports Chrono Package, Porsche’s sports coupé responds even more directly to the gas pedal, giving the driver greater freedom when driving to the limit through its sporting set-up. Indeed, the Sports Chrono Package reduces the lap times of Porsche’s sports coupé on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring by a significant three seconds. Passive safety of that supreme Porsche standard With their high level of structural stiffness around the passenger cell, both the Cayman and the Cayman S sports coupé provide an ideal foundation for truly outstanding passive safety. Apart from three-point inertia-reel seat belts complete with a belt latch tensioner and brake force limiter, two-stage full-sized airbags naturally come as standard on the driver’s and passenger’s side. Another feature also boasted as standard is the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP) incorporating safety components such as a thorax and head airbag on each side of the car. 64 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayman / Cayman S Dynamics of the highest standard: the Cayman S Sport special model Strictly limited to a production run of just 700 units and offering 8 bhp more power, the Cayman S Sport is a very special version of the Cayman S: This new mid-engined Sports Coupé displacing 3.4 litres comes as standard in the GT3 colours Orange and Green and proudly presents its model designation at the side. Further colours also available are Black, Indian Red, Speed Yellow and Carrara White, as well as Arctic Silver Metallic at extra cost. As on the GT3, black rims, exterior mirrors and air intake scoops form a sporting contrast also characterising the inside of the car through the Interior Design Package likewise finished in black as well as the instrument dials without the usual binnacle. Apart from the 303-bhp six-cylinder boxer engine, particularly Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) featured as standard with its suspension lowered by 10 millimetres or 0.39” and five-millimetre spacers on the 19-inch SportDesign wheels ensure truly impressive driving dynamics. Bi-xenon headlights featured as standard, the Sports Chrono Package and sports seats round off the self-confident and sporting GT3-look of the car, which is also borne out by the sports exhaust system together with double-chamber tailpipes and alcantara finish on the gearshift lever, the handbrake and the rim of the GT3 steering wheel. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S 65 The Porsche Boxster / Boxster S Highlights In its looks and technical features, the Boxster is a dynamic performer through and through. The design of the car follows the evolutionary development so typical of Porsche: The “face" of the Boxster with its oval headlights, the silhouette with its powerful, sweeping lines and 17-inch (Boxster S: 18-inch) wheels fitted as standard, as well as the rear end with its striking joints and seams are certainly familiar, but have become even clearer, firmer and more function-oriented ever since the introduction of the second generation of the Boxster in late 2004. Lots of power for Porsche’s Roadster The Porsche Boxster features a 2.7-litre flat-six power unit with VarioCam Plus valve management for infinite adjustment of valve intake timing (VarioCam) and variable management of valve lift (Plus). Maximum output of this 2.7-litre in the Boxster is 180 kW (254 bhp), with peak torque of 273 Newton-metres starting at 4600 rpm. With its five-speed manual gearbox the Boxster accelerates to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 258 km/h or 160 mph. Featuring the six-speed gearbox available as an option, Porsche’s Roadster achieves an even higher top speed of 260 km/h or 161 mph, with fuel consumption of just 9.3 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 30.4 mpg Imp. The Boxster S comes with a 3.4-litre flat-six power unit developing maximum output of 217 kW (295 bhp). Acceleration to 100 km/h is in just 5.4 seconds and the car’s top speed is 272 km/h or 169 mph. Average fuel consumption of the S-model, finally, is 10.6 ltr/100 km, equal to 26.6 mpg imp. Sporting chassis and suspension – as an option with active dampers With its wide track, large wheels and big tyres, the chassis and suspension of the Boxster allows a high level of lateral acceleration combined with superior comfort. An important option is PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management also available on the Boxster as a package together with the six-speed manual gearbox. In this case all the driver has to do is 66 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S press a button to change the damper rating on PASM, thus enjoying either a sporting but comfortable or an extremely sporting set-up for outstanding performance particularly on the race track. Special configuration of the automatic transmission As an option both the Boxster and the Boxster S are also available with Tiptronic S. Porsche's five-speed automatic transmission now comes with hydraulic and electronic control, and boasts variable gearshift programs. In conjunction with the optional Sports Chrono Package, the Boxster/Boxster S offers even more sporting driving characteristics, not shifting up or down after activating the sports button, for example, until the engine has reached a speed of at least 3000 rpm, and not shifting up automatically in the manual mode. Greater agility with variable rack-and-pinion steering Rack-and-pinion steering with a variable transmission ratio allows excellent agility on winding roads and, at the same time, superior driving stability even at the highest speeds. The standard steering wheel, which may be replaced as an option by a sports or multifunction steering wheel, is adjustable not only for reach, but also for height, with an adjustment range in this latter case of 40 millimetres or almost 1.6". Porsche Stability Management featured as standard PSM Porsche Stability Management offers an even higher level of active safety when applying the brakes, while accelerating, and in bends, thus allowing an even more sporting style of motoring with even more responsive control of the car. The brake system, in turn, naturally reflects the very good performance of the Boxster and boasts extra-large, cross-drilled and inner-vented brake discs. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S 67 Boxster S available as an option with ceramic brakes As an option the Boxster S is available with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes featuring even larger (dia 350 mm/13.78”) but nevertheless lighter brake discs made of a special composite ceramic material absolutely free of corrosion and far more resistant to wear on public roads, while nevertheless offering an extra-high and, in particular, consistent frictional coefficient. World's first roadster with head airbags Head airbags protect the occupants from side-on collisions in both versions of the Boxster. In combination with a thorax airbag housed in the outer side of the seat backrest, the head airbag on each side inflates whenever required from the side window sill in the door and offers a very high standard of head safety and protection also in the new Boxster. Frontal airbags for the driver and passenger as well as three-point inertia-reel seat belts with belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters round off the restraint system boasting all these features as standard. Very wide range of standard features Apart from PSM Porsche Stability Management, an on-board computer, CD-radio and air conditioning, electrical operation of the soft roof is also one of the standard features of the Porsche Boxster. The roof opens or closes also while driving at a speed of up to 50 km/h or 31 mph in just 12 seconds. The very special Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 In early September 2008 Porsche is upgrading the Boxster range with an exclusive special model: the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 entering the market in a limited edition of just 500 units. Boasting a 303 bhp (223 kW) 3.4-litre six-cylinder, this very special model stands out from the crowd in brilliant white and comes on 19-inch SportDesign wheels. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S 69 The Porsche Boxster/Boxster S In a Class of Their Own The Boxster features Porsche’s 2.7-litre power unit with VarioCam Plus variable valve management. Maximum output of the 2.7-litre flat-six is 180 kW (245 bhp), accelerating the Boxster to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, and from there up to a top speed of 258 km/h or 160 mph. Despite this improved performance, fuel consumption is down to an even more economical 9.3 litres premium plus/100 kilometres in the composite EU test, equal to 30.4 mpg Imp. And at the same time the Boxster outperforms both the EU 4 and the ULEV II emission limits. Powered by Porsche’s 217 kW (295 bhp) 3.4-litre flat-six and offering a power-to-weight ratio of 4.7 kilos per horsepower, the Boxster S sets the standard not only in driving dynamics, offering exceptionally good performance through the superior balance of weight and engine power. As a result, the Boxster S with its six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard accelerates to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, with acceleration in second highest gear from 80 to 120 km/h (50-75 mph) in an equally impressive 6.6 seconds. And compared with its predecessor, the new Boxster S achieves an even higher top speed up by 4 km/h to 272 km/h or 169 mph. Clear design In its design, the current generation of the Boxster combines clarity with firm lines and functional qualities. Particular highlights at the front end of the car are the oval headlights, the separate front position lights, and the large air intake scoops. The front wheel arches, in turn, stand out clearly from the engine compartment lid through their strikingly elevated topline, while the side view of the car is characterised by large wheels and air intake scoops upfront of the rear wheels as well as the hoop-shaped door handles. The rear end boasts a particularly muscular look through the dividing line extending upwards at an angle. And 70 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S apart from the model designation on the rear lid as well as the oval exhaust tailpipe, the Boxster can also be distinguished by its black eloxy-plated brake callipers, as opposed to the red callipers on the Boxster S. Exemplary aerodynamics With its drag coefficient of just 0.29, the Porsche Boxster ranks right at the top in aerodynamics. At the same time Porsche's development engineers have minimised lift forces on the front and rear axle, giving the Boxster safe and stable driving behaviour even at very high speeds. To achieve this superiority, the floor layout, the swept arrow configuration and the round contours at the front are designed to provide an aerodynamically efficient flow of air around the front end of the car and significantly improve the flow of coolinjjg air at the same time. Superior power and torque Both six-cylinder power units come with VarioCam Plus valve management offering continuous adjustment of both intake timing (VarioCam) and variable valve lift (Plus). Valve timing on the intake shaft is adjusted by a vane cell adjuster covering an overall adjustment range of 40°. Valve lift, in turn, is operated by switching cup tappets on the intake side of the engine switched via an electrohydraulic valve. The cup tappets are made of two tappet units resting within one another and connected firmly when required by a pin. Benefiting from this advanced technology, both models in the Boxster range offer superior engine characteristics at all times combining powerful acceleration with a high level of maximum output and superior fuel economy. Power is transmitted on the Boxster by a five-speed manual gearbox, with the six-speed manual gearbox of the Boxster S available in conjunction with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management as an optional sports package. Yet another option on both models is Porsche Tiptronic S five-speed automatic. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S 71 Sporting suspension – as an option with active control Apart from the “basic" suspension, both the Boxster and the Boxster S are available as an option with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management in conjunction with the entire car lowered by 10 millimetres or almost 0.4". In this case four dampers electrically adjustable in their firm response are controlled continuously and in an automatic process, depending on driving conditions. A button in the centre console, in turn, allows the driver to choose among two suspension programs: In the Normal mode the driver and passenger enjoy a more comfortable basic setting of the dampers switching automatically to a more sporting set-up as soon as the driver starts to move the car more dynamically, depending on road conditions. In the Sports mode, on the other hand, the damper control lines are harder and firmer for a particularly agile style of motoring. PSM featured as standard, Sports Chrono Package as an option The active safety package on the Boxster comes as standard with PSM Porsche Stability Management enhanced to an even higher level and comprising the existing ABS anti-lock brakes, ASR anti-spin control, MSR engine drag control, and ABD automatic brake differential functions. The Porsche Sports Chrono Package caters ideally for the Boxster driver seeking to give his or her car particularly sporting character. The Package comprises an even steeper gas pedal control line, harder engine speed cut-off, and higher thresholds for intervention by PSM Porsche Stability Management. In conjunction with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management available as an option, the Sports Chrono Package provides firmer damper settings in the Sports mode. And again in the Sports mode, the optional Tiptronic S transmission is set to an even more sporting gearshift. A very exclusive option: ceramic brakes on the Boxster S As an option opening up a new dimension in brake technology the Boxster S is available with PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. Featuring even larger (diameter: 350 millimetres/13.78") ceramic brake discs on all four wheels and composite brake pads, this special brake technology interacting with yellow-painted six-piston aluminium fixed callipers 72 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S on the front wheels and four-piston aluminium fixed callipers at the rear ensures supreme and, in particular, consistent stopping power at all times. On the road, this means very short stopping distances even under high loads and extreme conditions. On the Boxster S these corrosion-free brakes now come with further upgraded, even more robust brake discs. Lots of space in the attractively styled interior Ever since the introduction of the second-generation Boxster in late 2004, Porsche’s midengined Roadster has offered even more space inside thanks to the pedals moved forwards and the lower seating position. Indeed, the Boxster is available with no less than four “families" of seats: standard seats with electrical backrest adjustment, all-electric seats with a lumbar support, leather sports seats with reinforced side support, and adaptive sports seats with individually adjustable side supports both at the bottom and on the seat backrest. The openings for filling in coolant and engine oil now come beneath a more easily accessible flap allowing even better and more convenient use of the rear luggage compartment. Consistent use of top-quality and highly sophisticated materials inside the car including alcantara, leather and various features finished in a special aluminium look, ensures a unique touch of class and flair. Standard features include electrical operation of the roof able to open and close while moving up to a speed of 50 km/h or 31 mph. Other standard features include electrical window lifts, a CD-radio, air-conditioning with an integrated activated carbon filter, an on-board computer and central locking. As an option the Boxster is available with an aluminium hardtop with a heated rear window and wind deflector. And at the same time Porsche offers a wide range of further features helping to customise the car, including a sports steering wheel and multifunction steering wheel serving to operate the optionally available PCM Porsche Communication Management with its 5.8-inch colour display, the navigation module, and a separate DVD player. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Boxster / Boxster S 73 A roadster complete with head airbags A head airbag is housed within the doors on either side of the Boxster beneath the side window sill. Together with the thorax airbag in the seat backrest, this ensures a very high standard of all-round safety and protection in collisions from the side. At the same time it almost goes without saying that frontal airbags for the driver and front passenger as well as belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters come as standard. And last but certainly not least, the bodyshell of the Boxster fulfils all international requirements in terms of passive safety, occupant protection being enhanced to an even higher level by the attractively styled rollbar. The so-called upper load path very effectively guiding forces acting on the body in a collision from the front end though the doors to the rear helps to significantly stiffen and reinforce the passenger cell in a frontal or offset collision. To provide this effect, the doors are reinforced at the top by an additional profile plate made of steel and rest in the event of a collision on an optimised side section structure. A support tube made of high-strength steel extending from the side-sill to the A-pillar, serves to further reinforce and strengthen the passenger cell. Brand-new and in strictly limited numbers: the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 Displacing 3.4 litres and offering 303 bhp (223 kW) – eight horsepower more than the Boxster S – the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 sets a new highlight in the range. Not only because the number of models is strictly limited to 500 units, each of which is documented by a special, numbered placard on the glove compartment, but also because this new and very special Boxster gives even greater emphasis to its Carrara White paintwork, which for a long time has been one of the highlights in Porsche’s wide range of colours: the rim stars on the 19-inch SportDesign wheels featured as standard, the air intakes at the side, the centre console and the faces on the three instrument dials are also finished in white. This brilliant white finish is further accentuated by sporting grey stripes along the body and by the rear lights in red. The unique lifestyle accessory matching this special new model is likewise an homage to the white in the rev counter and speedometer: the Edition 2 Chronograph Porsche Design men’s watch from the Dashboard Collection comes with a white face and was developed especially for this unique Boxster. The colours on the roof and leather upholstery featured as standard, on the other hand, are classical in every respect: Stone Grey and Black. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne 75 The Porsche Cayenne Highlights Full of power in every respect, the second generation of the Porsche Cayenne is truly impressive in every respect: The striking new face of Porsche's Sports Utility with its wide front end and new, attractive headlight design, as well as the wings even more powerful and muscular in their looks than before, reflect the all-round optimisation of the Cayenne in technical terms. Aerodynamic improvement of body design, in turn, results in a drag coefficient of Cd = 0.35. Entering the new model year, Porsche offers new PCM Porsche Communication Management also in the Cayenne (see page 133). New power unit with direct fuel injection Now an even more powerful engine lurks within the engine compartment, for the first time featuring direct gasoline injection. Maximumn output of the 3.6- litre six-cylinder is 290 bhp or 213 kW. Superior performance, superior fuel economy Greater engine efficiency and the lower drag coefficient mean both superior performance on the road and improved fuel economy: The Cayenne reaches a top speed of 227 km/h or 141 mph. PDCC: active body roll management As an option the Cayenne is available with PASM – Porsche Active Suspension Management including air suspension now supplemented as a further option by PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. Superior control of the suspension is therefore supplemented by body roll management using two active rollbars, PDCC eliminating body roll in bends almost completely, with the body reacting noticeably only when the driver prefers a very sporting style of motoring. 76 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Enhanced PSM for an even higher standard of active safety PSM Porsche Stability Management featured as standard comes with enhanced functions – pre-loading of the brake system and a Brake Assistant, as well as trailer stability control and offroad-ABS. These additional functions ensure even faster brake response, prevent the vehicle towing a trailer from developing a hazardous pendulum motion, and optimise the effect of the brakes on Porsche's Sports Utility on loose ground. Permanent all-wheel drive for road and track Featuring PTM Porsche Traction Management, the Cayenne offers exceptionally superior driving behaviour on all roads and surfaces. Through its electronically controlled longitudinal lock, the permanent all-wheel-drive system is able to vary front-to-rear power distribution individually according to driving conditions. And at the same time the system incorporates a low gear function for offroad purposes, ensuring excellent traction also on rough terrain. Extra-powerful headlights The Cayenne comes as standard with H7 headlights in projection technology – a system where the light is no longer projected on to the road by a reflector, but rather directly through the lens. As an option the Cayenne is available with bi-xenon headlights incorporating both static and now also dynamic head-light beam control when driving in bends and on winding roads. This light source available as an option on the six-cylinder model ensures excellent illumination of the road ahead under all driving conditions. Rollover sensor for enhanced passive safety All Cayenne models come with a rollover sensor activating the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags in an emergency and thus helping to minimise the risk of injury for the occupants should the vehicle ever roll over. Together with its six airbags, Porsche's Sports Utility therefore once again offers a truly outstanding occupant safety system featured as standard. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne 77 The Porsche Cayenne Six-Cylinder with Lots of Power The Porsche Cayenne is powered by a 290 bhp (213 kW) six-cylinder displacing 3.6 litres. Direct gasoline injection operating at a pressure of 40 – 120 bar serves not only to significantly increase engine output, but also boosts engine torque to 385 Newton-metres or 283 lb-ft in the interest of enhanced performance on the road: The manual gearbox Cayenne accelerates to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and gives the Cayenne top speed of 227 km/h or 141 mph. Featuring optionally available Tiptronic S, in turn, the Cayenne reaches 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and has the same top speed of 227 km/h. More muscle, less air resistance The front end and front wings with an even more striking contour line at the top accentuate the muscular body of the second-generation Cayenne. The low-slung headlights moved far to the outside beneath their clear glass covers give the Cayenne its typical, characteristic face. This particular design offers significant aerodynamic benefits, with a drag coefficient of just Cd = 0.35 attributable to a whole range of refinements including refined, spoiler-guided air flow to the rear wheels, the front spoiler lip now extending further down than before, redesigned exterior mirrors, and a roof spoiler with enhanced air flow. The Cayenne comes as standard on 17-inch wheels, with larger wheels available as an option, including 19-inch all-season tyres. An even more sporting look, plus enhanced performance, is guaranteed by new 21-inch wheels in attractive multi-spoke design. Six-speed transmission and Sports Button The Cayenne comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox reinforced versus the former version. Six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission is available as an option. 78 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne The manual gearbox is combined as a regular feature with the PDOA Porsche Drive Off Assistant securing the vehicle when disengaging the clutch by automatic intervention in the brakes so that the Cayenne cannot roll back on a hill. Tiptronic S automatic transmission offers a comparable holding function, the Hill Holder preventing the vehicle from rolling back when setting off on an uphill gradient. For the first time, the driver of the Cayenne is able to enjoy the qualities of a Sports Button featured as standard, allowing him to choose either a Standard or Sports set-up on the suspension. In the Sports mode the engine responds even more spontaneously. And with models featuring automatic transmission, air suspension and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, as well as new PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control available as an option, come with an even more sporting set-up from the start. Active body roll management The Cayenne comes in regular trim with steel spring suspension, PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management with air springs being available as an option. Apart from damper control with three different settings, this superior suspension also enables the driver to lower the body of the vehicle to various levels or to raise body height up to a maximum of 271 millimetres or 10.7" above the ground for tough offroad requirements. As yet a further feature, PASM including air suspension now be enhanced by PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. Operating in a continuous process with infinite adjustment, this body roll management system limits side roll of the vehicle in bends, eliminating body roll completely in nearly all driving situations. As a result, the Cayenne offers not only a significant improvement of handling, but also enhanced driving stability and motoring comfort. PDCC is made up of two active rollbars with hydraulic swivel motors integrated in lieu of conventional anti-roll bars in the front and rear axles. Thanks to its fast response and maximum operating pressure of up to 180 bar, PDCC is able to build up a counter-force through the active rollbars preventing the body from rolling to the side in a bend. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne 79 PTM for excellent traction As before, intelligent PTM Porsche Traction Management ensures an ideal combination of excellent onroad and offroad driving qualities by subdividing engine power in the basic mode at a ratio of 38:62 between the front and rear wheels. This power split may be varied by a multiple-plate clutch operated by an electric motor and controlled electronically, with up to 100 per cent of engine power and torque being conveyed to either the front or rear wheels when required. PTM responds not only to a lack of traction, but also incorporates sensors measuring the speed of the vehicle, its lateral acceleration, the steering angle and operation of the gas pedal in order to ensure enhanced control under dynamic driving conditions. And on rough terrain PTM may also interact with the low gear integrated in the power divider with its reduction ratio of 2.7:1 and a 100 per cent longitudinal lock cutting in when required, should individual wheels loose contract with the ground. PSM with an even wider range of functions PSM Porsche Stability Management featured as standard in the Cayenne constantly interacts with PTM Porsche Traction Management, but only intervenes when the vehicle reaches its physical limits on the road. A subfunction of the anti-lock brake system determines application of the brakes on loose ground, offroad-ABS periodically increasing wheel slip in such cases during the brake cycles. This serves to build up a wedge of snow, sand or fine gravel in front of the wheels, providing an additional brake effect on loose ground and irregular surfaces. The brake function is further improved by the Brake Assistant and the brake pre-loading option. Recognising application of the brakes in an emergency, the Brake Assistant immediately builds up the brake pressure required for maximum stopping power and deceleration via the PSM hydraulic control unit. The pre-loading brake function, in turn, generates extra pressure in the system as soon as the driver abruptly takes his foot off the accelerator, thus helping again to shorten stopping distances when applying the brakes. 80 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Trailer stability control enhanced to a new standard of perfection recognises any pendulum or sway motion of a trailer and intervenes as required by applying the brakes on the vehicle in the interest of extra stability. Passive safety further enhanced Two full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger, two thorax side airbags, as well as two curtain airbags in the roof frame extending over both the front and rear side windows ensure an exceptionally high standard of passive safety within the interior. In addition, belt latch tensioners on all seats with the exception of the middle seat at the rear and supplementary belt force limiters on the front seats add to the high standard of all-round safety. Apart from collisions both front and rear and at the side, the crash sensors now for the first time also “sense" the risk of the vehicle rolling over. This additional function is provided by a yaw rate sensor in the airbag control unit activating the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags in an emergency. Attractive features and equipment The Cayenne is available as an option with bi-xenon headlights in combination with a static and dynamic bend headlight swivel function enhancing active safety to an even higher standard. The dynamic headlight function is activated as of a speed of 3 km/h or 2 mph, ensuring even better illumination in bends and on winding roads, while the static bend headlights provide excellent visibility directly in front of the vehicle. It almost goes without saying that Porsche's Sports Utility offers a wide range of options and freedom of choice also in its second generation. The automatic tailgate available as an option, for example, enables the user to open up and close the tailgate conveniently at the touch of a button. Efficient storage compartment management also available as an option and, inter alia, comprising a system of rails integrated in the floor of the luggage compartment as well as a partition net in the rear, enables the driver and his passengers to stow away luggage and other items even more safely in the rear compartment of the Cayenne. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S 81 The Porsche Cayenne S Highlights More power and torque on less fuel – these are the qualities offered by the highly advanced eight-cylinder power unit in the Cayenne S. Direct gasoline injection as well as VarioCam Plus camshaft control also featured in the Cayenne improve both fuel/air mixture formation and the cylinder charge process. These significant features serve to boost maximum output of the eight-cylinder in the Cayenne S to 385 bhp or 283 kW. And at the same time fuel consumption is down accordingly to a truly low level, above all under everyday driving conditions. Appealing design with even firmer lines The enhanced design language of Porsche's Sports Utility is clearly recognisable at very first sight: The front end with its characteristic headlights, the more distinctive wing profiles at the side, as well as the wide and sporting rear end all interact to give the Cayenne S a truly self-confident and powerful stance. And last but certainly not least, the drag coefficient is a low Cd = 0.35. Innovative Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive Featured as standard, PTM Porsche Traction Management feeds 62 per cent of the engine's power to the rear and 38 per cent to the front wheels in its basic mode. Depending on motoring requirements, even 100 per cent of the engine's power may be fed to either the front or rear. And when driving in difficult terrain, the driver may also use PTM to access a reduced ratio function in the power divider, as well as a 100 per cent longitudinal lock. Enhanced PSM for even greater active safety PSM Porsche Stability Management featured as standard in the Cayenne models consistently interacts with PTM Porsche Traction Management, but only intervenes when the vehicle reaches the extreme limits to driving physics, stabilising the Cayenne by applying the brakes on individual wheels as required. 82 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S PSM also comes with several enhanced functions such as brake pre-loading and a Brake Assistant. And the Cayenne’s offroad-ABS has been set up with particular specifications for even better brake performance on loose ground and trailer stability control has been enhanced to an even higher standard. PDCC for excellent driving stability Over and above steel suspension featured as standard, the Cayenne S is also available as an option with air suspension featuring PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management with active damper control. This special suspension may furthermore be combined with active PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, where two active anti-rollbars almost completely prevent any body roll in bends. Static and dynamic headlights The bi-xenon headlights available as an option on the Cayenne S feature not only a static, but also a dynamic headlight beam function. In practice, this means even better illumination of the road ahead and very good visibility round bends. Rollover sensor for enhanced passive safety Quite unique and outstanding, the passive safety offered by the Cayenne S ensures supreme all-round safety: In an emergency a rollover sensor activates the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags precisely as required, reducing the risk of injury in a rollover for the occupants. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S 83 The Porsche Cayenne S Sporting eight-cylinder for all kinds of terrain The unmistakable front end, the further enhanced design at the rear, even more striking lines, as well as perfect interaction of convex and concave shapes and contours – these outstanding features accentuate the muscular stature of Porsche's unique Sports Utility. In the process of being re-designed, the Cayenne S has shifted its visual centre of gravity far down to the ground, thus providing a powerful and muscular look from every angle – sporting but nevertheless ideal for the toughest terrain. And what looks good also offers benefits in terms of aerodynamics, with a Cd drag coefficient of just 0.35. Lots of power on minimum fuel The fundamental improvements on the eight-cylinder power unit include direct fuel injection in conjunction with camshaft management and VarioCam Plus valve control. The 4.8-litre power unit develops maximum torque of 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) and offers peak output of 385 bhp (283 kW). At the same time fuel consumption in the Tiptronic S model is relatively low at an average of just 13.7 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 20.6 mpg Imp. Acceleration from 0 – 100 km/h, in turn, is just 6.6 seconds on the manual gearbox model, with the Tiptronic S completing the same exercise in 6.8 seconds. And top speed, finally, is an impressive 250 km/h (155 mph) on the automatic version and 252 km/h (156 mph) on the manual gearbox model. Sports Button for even more dynamic performance More than ever before, the various models in the Cayenne range allow the customer to determine and specify the character of the vehicle himself – or herself. All he or she has to do is press the Sports Button enabling the driver to choose either the Standard or the Sports set-up. 84 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S Depending on the level of equipment in the vehicle, the Sports Button influences the gas pedal control map, the automatic transmission, the optional sports exhaust system (on the Cayenne S with Tiptronic S only, PASM damper management and PDCC anti-roll control.) Extra-comfortable transmission The Cayenne S comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox. High engine output and the low drag coefficient allow the use of a longer final drive transmission ratio without making any concessions in terms of agility and driving dynamics. Indeed, these particular features not only ensure low fuel consumption, but also enhance motoring comfort on long journeys thanks to the reduction of engine speed. The manual gearbox is combined as standard with the PDOA Porsche Drive Off Assistant supporting the driver when setting off on an uphill gradient. PDOA prevents the vehicle from rolling back in such a situation by automatically intervening in the brakes: As soon as the driver engages the clutch, the system reduces brake pressure and the driver is able to set off smoothly in the Cayenne S. The Cayenne S is also available as an option with six-gear Tiptronic S incorporating a similar holding function to prevent the vehicle from rolling back on an uphill gradient. The Cayenne S with Tiptronic S comes as yet a further option with a sports exhaust incorporating a modified main silencer for an even more voluminous and throaty chortle typical of a large V8. The system as such is activated and adjusted via the Sports button, engine sound being masterminded as a function of load, road speed, engine speed, and the gear currently in mesh. The sports exhaust is recognisable at first sight by its striking double tailpipe covers made of chrome-plated stainless steel. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S 85 Suspension with optional PDCC anti-roll management More than ever before the customer opting for the Cayenne S is able to choose his or her very own suspension. Right from the start, the steel spring suspension offers excellent conditions for all-round use of the vehicle. Then, proceeding from this very good starting point, air suspension and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management enable the driver to set the standard of comfort and sporting performance to his very own, personal requirements. Switching over to the new generation of Cayenne models, Porsche has introduced yet another option in suspension management: PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control teaming up if required with air suspension and PASM. PDCC is a continuous body roll management system limiting the side angle of the vehicle in bends and almost fully preventing any body sway in nearly all situations. The result in the Cayenne S is not only a significant enhancement of handling in every respect, but also substantially greater driving stability, for example when changing lanes at high speeds. PDCC also features so-called “Skyhook" control able to register and set off bumps on the road, thus helping to significantly improve driving comfort wherever appropriate. “Smart" all-wheel drive and intelligent PSM PTM Porsche Traction Management permanent all-wheel drive spreads out drive power to the wheels in accordance with individual, current requirements. In the basic mode 62 per cent of the engine's power goes to the rear, 38 per cent to the front wheels. Depending on driving conditions, a multiple-plate clutch operated by an electric motor and controlled electronically may feed up to 100 per cent of the engine's power to either the front or rear. A further point is that the map-controlled longitudinal lock as well as the rear axle differential available as an option not only respond to a lack of traction on the axles, but also follow sensors measuring the speed of the vehicle, its lateral acceleration, the steering angle, and operation of the gas pedal. 86 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S As a result, PTM is able to calculate the optimum locking action required and distribute drive force accordingly. In practice this means excellent driving stability, improved steering, and better control of the vehicle under dynamic driving conditions. Featured as standard equipment, PSM Porsche Stability Management consistently interacts with PTM Porsche Traction Management. PSM now offers several additional functions, pre-loading of the brake system applying the brake pads slightly on the brake discs from the start as soon as the driver takes back the gas pedal abruptly in order to shorten the time required for brake response. The Brake Assistant, in turn, provides the maximum brake pressure required in an emergency, as soon as it detects emergency operation of the brakes. Trailer stability control, finally, recognises any pendulum or sway motion of a trailer and intervenes as required by activating the brakes. And the new offroad-ABS brake system detects loose terrain and rough conditions beneath the vehicle, applying the brakes appropriately on both sides in order to decelerate the vehicle in a controlled process. Rollover sensor for extra safety Two full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger, two thorax side airbags, and two curtain airbags in the roof frame all contribute to the high standard of passive safety offered by the Cayenne S. Apart from collisions at the front and rear as well as the side, the sensors also recognise the possible risk of the vehicle rolling over, automatically activating the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags whenever this is the case. Free rein for even greater individual style and personal choice The Cayenne S comes as an option with bi-xenon headlights combined with a dual-function headlight bend control system: The first feature is the additional static headlights coming on automatically as soon as the driver turns the steering to a certain, relatively wide angle, thus illuminating the area sideways in front of the vehicle. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S 87 This highly advanced system is supplemented by dynamic headlight beam control activated in response to even a minor change in the steering to illuminate upcoming bends and serpentines even better than before. Other features available to the discerning customer include an automatic tailgate opening and closing with utmost convenience at the touch of a button, the highly convenient power lift function. The panorama roof system, in turn, is yet another highly attractive option, this electrically operated system consisting of three variably adjustable glass modules as well as a greytinted security glass segment fitted firmly to the body. Almost four times the size of the conventional sliding/vent roof, the panorama roof covers an area of approximately 1.4 square metres or 15.1 square feet, spanning almost the entire roof of the Cayenne S from front to rear and side to side. Sound systems developed specifically for the Cayenne S and tailored to the vehicle's requirements are available for the audio enthusiast. The top-of-the-range offer is the BOSE® Surround Sound System incorporating no less 14 loudspeakers with overall output of 350 Watt. Optional loading space management helps to keep everything tidy and properly arranged in the luggage compartment. The system includes rails integrated in the floor of the luggage compartment, a robust telescopic extension bar and belt rollers enabling the driver and passengers to load and unload the vehicle conveniently and safely at all times. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne GTS 89 The Porsche Cayenne GTS Highlights The Cayenne GTS supplements the Cayenne range through a particularly sporting and dynamic model, the GTS standing out in particular through its chassis and suspension developed specifically for this model variant: This is the first Cayenne to combine steel springs with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, a suspension concept previously reserved exclusively to Porsche sports cars in this combination. Special intake system and more power The even more powerful eight-cylinder normal-aspiration engine with DFI Direct Fuel Injection is one of the main factors contributing to the impressive driving dynamics of the Cayenne GTS. With the intake system being upgraded and enlarged, the 4.8-litre power unit now offers maximum output of 405 bhp (298 kW) at 6,500 rpm. Maximum torque of 500 Newtonmetres/369 lb-ft, on the other hand, comes at 3,500 rpm. Pressing the Sports Button featured as standard the driver is able to give the engine, the automatic transmission and the vehicle’s control systems an even more dynamic, sportier response. For supreme performance – six-speed transmission and all-wheel drive The supreme power of the V8 power unit is transmitted to the wheels by a six-speed manual gearbox also featured as standard on the Cayenne S. To enhance agility to an even higher level, the final drive ratio on the Cayenne GTS has been reduced from 3.55:1 to 4.1:1, PTM Porsche Traction Management with permanent all-wheel drive ensuring optimum distribution of drive power on all four wheels. When changing lanes at high speeds or when driving on a slippery surface, for example, PTM ensures a very high standard of active safety at all times. Superior engine power and the shorter transmission ratio make the Cayenne GTS particularly dynamic and agile on the road, the manual-gearbox model accelerating to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds. Top speed, in turn, is 253 km/h or 157 mph, and the Cayenne GTS takes just 6.6 seconds to complete the sprint from 80 – 120 km/h (50-75 mph) in secondhighest gear. 90 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne GTS Active anti-roll stability for even greater fun in bends and on winding roads PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control is available as an option supplementing PASCM suspension management. Incorporating two active anti-roll bars, PDCC almost completely sets off body sway in bends, improving both handling and comfort all in one. Further options also available are six-speed Tiptronic S with sporting, appropriately modified gearshift points and air suspension with self-levelling and ride height adjustment. Particularly sporting and dynamic – design and features The sporting Cayenne GTS is clearly recognisable at very first sight. Both the front and rear bear a strong resemblance to the Cayenne Turbo, while the wheel arches flared by approximately 14 millimetres on each side give the GTS the strongest visible presence throughout the entire model series. A further point is that ride height on the GTS is 24 millimetres or 0.95" lower than on the Cayenne S. The Cayenne GTS comes as standard on 21-inch Cayenne sports tyres measuring 295/35 in size. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy sports seats adjustable electrically in no less than 12 directions in the Cayenne GTS, with the additional benefit of extra-high side support elements. The rear seats are a special development for this sports model, a particular highlight being the individual seat contour at the rear. However, the Cayenne GTS still offers five adults sufficient space and is able to handle major transport requirements thanks to its rear seat bench tilting down in separate sections. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne GTS 91 The Porsche Cayenne GTS Top Performer The Cayenne GTS once again sets the standard in the sports utility market. This is the first model within the Cayenne range to feature a combination of steel springs and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, that is the suspension already well-known on Porsche’s sports cars. A further point is that the Cayenne GTS is 24 millimetres or 0.95" lower than the Cayenne and Cayenne S, with this very exclusive sporting model coming as standard on 21-inch wheels measuring 295/35 in size. V8 normal-aspiration power unit with even higher output The superior V8 normal-aspiration power unit with DFI Direct Fuel Injection based on the powerful engine already featured in the Cayenne S ensures spontaneous power and performance at all times. The extra power of the engine comes to bear above all at higher engine speeds, with maximum output of 405 bhp (298 kW) at 6,500 rpm, an increase over the Cayenne S by 20 bhp. Maximum torque of 500 Newton-metres/369 lb-ft, in turn, comes at 3,500 rpm. This increase in power and torque is the result of detailed refinement on the high-performance power unit, Porsche’s engineers focusing above all on the intake manifold and ensuring an even smoother, unrestricted supply of air: Benefiting from the even larger cross-section of the Y-shaped air manifold, even more air is able to reach the throttle butterfly in a smooth process, the throttle butterfly itself being enlarged in diameter from 76 to 82 millimetres (3.0 –3.2"). Sports Button for even better response The Sports Button featured as standard in the Cayenne GTS offers the driver the choice of a basic setting for optimised fuel economy and particularly sports-oriented driving qualities in the Sports Mode. This special sports setting adjusts the accelerator pedal control map and modifies the response of the engine accordingly. A further point is that when pressing the Sports Button the driver also switches over the sports exhaust system likewise standard on the Cayenne GTS to even lower counter-pressure and activates the Sports Mode on Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). 92 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne GTS The Cayenne GTS comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, that is the same transmission already featured on the Cayenne S. However, the final drive ratio on this special sports model has been shortened from 3.55:1 to 4.1:1. Together with the more powerful engine, the GTS thus offers even better acceleration and greater agility, ensuring a standard of performance quite exceptional in its class: Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 6.1 seconds, with the ultra-sporting and dynamic Cayenne GTS completing the interim sprint from 80 to 120 km/h (50-75 mph) in just 6.6 seconds. Top speed, finally, is 253 km/h or 157 mph. Steel suspension and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management For the first time the Cayenne comes with a combination of steel springs on the suspension with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, a high-tech adaptive damper system. Compared with the Cayenne S, the steel springs on the Cayenne GTS are firmer and tauter, and the entire vehicle is lowered by 24 millimetres or 0.95". At the same time camber on the front and rear wheels is somewhat more negative than on the “regular" Cayenne S, allowing the Cayenne GTS to achieve even higher lateral acceleration. To match the steel springs, Porsche’s engineers have developed a special variant of PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, introducing a special control strategy for an even more sporting style of motoring. And like the PASM suspension on the other versions within the Cayenne range, PASM may be combined with air suspension also on the Cayenne GTS. The superior standard of driving dynamics provided by the Cayenne GTS right from the start can be further enhanced by the optional PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control anti-roll stability system. This continuous, ongoing stability system limits side sway of the car in bends, providing almost complete compensation of body roll under nearly all driving conditions. Responding very quickly to specific requirements, PDCC is indeed able, through its active anti-roll bars, to build up appropriate support forces even before the body is able to start swaying in a bend. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne GTS 93 Sporting look both outside and inside The Cayenne GTS clearly expresses its outstanding status as a very sporting and dynamic model also through its looks. The front of the vehicle with its large air intakes and the powerful rear end are reminiscent of the particularly muscular look of the Cayenne Turbo. The wheel arches, in turn, are flared out an extra 14 millimetres or 0.55" to accommodate the Cayenne sport wheels running on 295/35 tyres. Black trim plates over the B- and C-pillars, as well as black window surrounds and door handles, finally, give the Cayenne GTS a particularly muscular appearance full of character at very first sight. The highlight within the Cayenne GTS with its sophisticated fittings and features is the sporting but comfortable seats, the driver and front passenger enjoying life on 12-way sports seats with extra-high side support elements. Indeed, the seats adjust not only vertically and horizontally at the touch of a button, but also allow adjustment of the seat bottom angle and the backrest angle, as well as the lumbar support. And the rear seat bench, matching this configuration, also comes with individual seat contours reflecting the particular character of the car. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo 95 The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Highlights Featuring even larger air intake scoops, bi-xenon headlights coming as standard, and differently arranged direction indicators, the top model in the Cayenne series really sets its own benchmark in every respect. Within the engine compartment the new Cayenne Turbo boasts a biturbo power unit developing exactly 500 bhp or 368 kW with the help of Porsche's new direct fuel injection as well as VarioCam Plus valve management. Exceptional performance on economic fuel consumption The Porsche Cayenne Turbo offers a drag coefficient of just Cd = 0.35. On the road this means not only outstanding performance with top speed of 275 km/h or 171 mph, but also a moderate level of fuel consumption. Dynamic headlights featured as standard The Cayenne Turbo is the first-ever Porsche fitted as standard with bi-xenon headlights incorporating both static and dynamic headlight beam control. The static beam illuminates the area immediately in front of the vehicle when taking a bend, the dynamic headlight function directs the beam into the bend itself in response to the position of the steering (steering angle). Active body roll management The air suspension and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management standard on the Cayenne Turbo may be supplemented by an important development in technology, PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control almost completely eliminating even the slightest roll of the body in bends. To provide this function, PDCC uses two hydraulically adjustable anti-roll bars, thus improving driving dynamics in bends as well as motoring comfort on bumpy surfaces. The so-called “Skyhook" function serves in this case to smoothen out any bumps in the road and significantly enhance driving comfort. 96 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo Ultra-powerful brakes Following an old Porsche tradition, performance of the brake system increases as a function of engine power. So Porsche's top-of-the-range Cayenne features not only larger brake discs and brake callipers than the other models in the range, but also even stiffer and stronger brake callipers at the front. And brake power assistance also provides an appropriate increase in brake pressure. PSM with additional safety functions PSM Porsche Stability Management now comes with new functions on the new generation of the Cayenne. Pre-loading of the brake system, for example, helps to make stopping distances even shorter when applying the brakes all out: Should the driver in such a situation press down the brake pedal quickly, but not with full power, the Brake Assistant is additionally activated to build up full brake pressure by way of a hydraulic pump in order to apply the ABS brake function on all wheels. Offroad-ABS, in turn, enhances the brake effect on loose ground and the new trailer stability control function helps to prevent any pendulum action of a Cayenne Turbo towing a trailer. PTM for excellent traction at all times PTM Porsche Traction Management helps to give the Cayenne Turbo exceptional traction and pulling force on both the road and off the beaten track: In its basic mode, PTM feeds 62 per cent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels and 38 per cent to the front. Incorporating an electronically controlled multiple-plate lock, this “intelligent" system is then able to vary the distribution of engine power to the drive axles as a function of driving conditions. At high speeds this means further enhancement of driving stability, on rough terrain it means maximum traction. Rollover sensor: even greater passive safety The comprehensive passive safety package featured in the Cayenne Turbo complete with six airbags as standard includes yet another important function, the sensor able to recognise the risk of the vehicle possibly rolling over and activating the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags to protect the vehicle’s occupants. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo 97 The Porsche Cayenne Turbo The Supreme Power Pack The Porsche Cayenne Turbo remains the top performer in the sports utility market: biturbo technology, direct fuel injection and VarioCam Plus valve management give the 4.8-litre power unit maximum torque of 700 Newton-metres or 516 lb-ft maintained consistently all the way from 2250 to 4500 rpm. Looking at the competition, this is more than even significantly larger gasoline engines have to offer. The result is acceleration to 100 km/h in the top-level Cayenne within just 5.1 seconds, maximum output of 500 bhp or 368 kW interacting with exemplary aerodynamics (Cd = 0.35) to give Porsche's most powerful Sports Utility a top speed of 275 km/h or 171 mph – an unparalleled figure in this segment. Unmistakable design Even at a standstill, the Cayenne Turbo clearly reveals its outstanding position in the range and in the market as a whole: The front section is split up into three large air intakes with black air intake grilles, and the middle air intake scoop is much larger than on the other models. The direction indicators and positioning lights are also quite unique in their look, extending back horizontally on the Cayenne Turbo in the upper third of the side air intakes. The positioning lights are formed by a LED light bar, the top-of-the-range model standing out also at night from its two “smaller" brothers by its unique light design. Dynamic headlights featured as standard Behind its clear glass covers, the Cayenne Turbo boasts bi-xenon headlights as standard featuring both static and, for the first time, dynamic headlight beam control. The bi-xenon headlight unit is split up into three sections, with the swivelling xenon unit at the outside, the static bend lights in the middle, and the additional high-beam headlights at the inside. 98 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo The dynamic headlight beam function is activated as of a speed of 3 km/h, swivelling “into" the bend at an angle of 15°. The static bending light also featured on the Cayenne Turbo ensures even better illumination of the road directly in front of the vehicle, offering a significant advantage, for example, when bending into a side road. Reinforced automatic transmission featured as standard The Cayenne Turbo comes as standard with six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Taking the increase in power into account, Porsche's engineers have increased both gearshift pressure and the number of clutch plates over the Cayenne S, improving the transmission of drive forces and providing an even faster and smoother gearshift. The bearings on the planetary gearsets have also been reinforced. The automatic transmission also comes with a Hill Holder function automatically preventing the vehicle from rolling back when setting off uphill on a gradient. Fuel economy is enhanced not only by the longer final drive ratio, but also by disconnection of the transmission whenever the vehicle comes to a stop, Tiptronic S automatically shifting to neutral as soon as the driver presses down the footbrake with the vehicle at a standstill on an even surface. The Sports Button enables the driver to additionally “pep up" the driving characteristics of the Cayenne Turbo: With the Sports Button activated, the engine is even more responsive, responding even more directly and firmly to load change commands. In the Sports mode the Cayenne Turbo always sets off in first gear and maintains even more sporting gearshift points, shifting up later and down earlier. Pressing the Sports Button, the driver automatically also operates PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management with air suspension featured as standard in the Cayenne Turbo as well as the optionally available, active PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, setting both of these systems to a more sporting mode. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo 99 Air suspension and self-levelling also in combination with PDCC The Cayenne Turbo comes as standard with air suspension including PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management. Air suspension gives the driver the option to raise or lower the entire body of the Cayenne Turbo, depending on current requirements. Integrated self-levelling, in turn, serves to keep the vehicle at the same, consistent ride height at all times, regardless of load conditions. A further function is the automatic reduction of ride height at increasing speed, enhancing active safety and reducing fuel consumption in the process. Variable PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management also gives the driver the option to adjust the dampers to his or her personal requirements while driving, benefiting from the choice of three programs: Comfort, Normal, and Sports. Introducing PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche's engineers have created an active suspension system ideally supplementing both air suspension and PASM. PDCC comes as an option in the Cayenne Turbo, serving to control body roll in bends and, indeed, almost entirely preventing body roll in nearly all situations. The result is an improvement of driving agility, dynamics, motoring comfort, and driving stability at high speeds. PDCC offers additional customer benefits in rough terrain: Through active control of the anti-rollbars in conjunction with integrated road surface detection, excitation of the body is significantly reduced and motoring comfort enhanced accordingly. In the offroad mode the system furthermore allows maximum axle articulation at speeds of up to 35 km/h or 22 mph. High-traction PTM and enhanced PSM PTM Porsche Traction Management permanent all-wheel drive gives the Cayenne Turbo outstanding on-road and off-road driving characteristics at all times. In its basic mode, the system shares out engine power front-to-rear at a ratio of 38:62, with potentially up to 100 per cent of engine power being fed to either the front or the rear wheels, if required. In addition, PTM enables the driver to keep the vehicle under control in a smoother, superior style when driving to the limit, for example on snow and ice. 100 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo PTM Porsche Traction Management permanent all-wheel drive constantly communicates with PSM Porsche Stability Management, the latter masterminding essential systems such as ABS, ASR Anti Slip-Control and ABD Automatic Brake Differential, but only intervening under extreme physical conditions in the interest of a sporting style of motoring at all times. In accordance with driving conditions and requirements, the pre-loading brake function and the Brake Assistant serve to minimise stopping distances by building up full brake pressure as quickly as possible. New offroad-ABS, in turn, recognises loose ground beneath the vehicle and applies the brakes with an optimised strategy, building up an additional brake “wedge" in front of the wheels. And whenever the vehicle is towing a trailer, PSM detects any possible pendulum or sway action and stabilises the vehicle and trailer by intervening as required in the brakes on both sides. Superior safety thanks to high-performance brakes The brake system on the Cayenne Turbo stands out clearly not only through its red callipers. For to cope with the very significant engine output, the entire brake system has been upgraded with enhanced power assistance. Diameter of the brake discs on the front axle is 368 millimetres (14.49"), diameter at the rear is 358 millimetres (14.09"). The correspondingly larger brake callipers at the front incorporate an additional reinforcement frame bolted at four points to the calliper housing and serving to reinforce the entire brake structure. To reliably dissipate the high temperatures generated while applying the brakes also under high loads, additional brake air spoilers on the front spring struts guide cooling air to the discs. Special 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels have been developed for the Cayenne Turbo, taking all lightweight construction principles into account. The wheels are manufactured through the flow-forming method with the rim hump being rolled out extra-thin, reducing the weight of each wheel by 1.0 – 1.5 kg. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo 101 The new Cayenne Turbo comes as standard on 8J x 18 wheels in Turbo design combined with 255/55 R18 tyres. Porsche has indeed commissioned the development of a special family of tyres specifically for the Turbo wheels naturally tested in full for their high-speed qualities. As a result, the Cayenne Turbo runs on Y-rated summer tyres approved for a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Like the other models in the Cayenne range, the Cayenne Turbo naturally offers its occupants a comprehensive restraint system. Apart from three-point safety belts, belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters, this also means a full-size airbag for the driver and front passenger as well as a side protection system with thorax airbags and curtain airbags integrated in the roof frame. A yaw rate sensor, finally, activates the curtain airbags and belt latch tensioners also in the event of a rollover. Turbo S with even more power The Cayenne Turbo S, offering maximum output of 550 bhp (404 kW) and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph) fulfils many wishes expressed by Porsche customers the world over. Indeed, there is great demand for highly sporting and exclusive SUVs with such a very high standard of driving dynamics particularly in the emerging markets, ie the new, dynamically developing markets in Eastern Europe and Asia. Although the performance of the new Cayenne Turbo S once again exceeds even that of the Cayenne Turbo (max output 500 bhp/368 kW), fuel consumption of the Turbo S in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) is exactly the same as that of the “regular” Cayenne Turbo. From outside the Turbo S stands out in particular through its 21-inch Cayenne SportPlus wheels in light alloy with painted wheel arch extensions and sports tailpipes in four-pipe look made of fine-cast aluminium. As a further highlight this extra-dynamic SUV comes as standard with air suspension as well as self-levelling and height adjustment including PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management which – again as standard – is combined with active PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and speed-related steering power assistance. 102 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Turbo Introducing PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes as a special, individual feature on the Cayenne, Porsche is again underlining the Company’s leading position in providing particularly resistant and long-lasting brake discs made of composite ceramic carbon-fibre. For the first time outside of the sports car market, these high-tech brake discs are now also available in the segment of truly outstanding and particularly dynamic SUVs. The ceramic discs measure 410 mm or 16.1” in diameter up front and 370 mm or 14.6” in diameter at the rear. The braking effect is generated by six-piston aluminium fixed callipers at the front and four-piston aluminium fixed callipers on the rear wheels. Apart from the Cayenne Turbo S, PCCB brakes are also available as an option on the Cayenne S, the Cayenne GTS, and the Cayenne Turbo in combination with wheels measuring 20 inches and more. The sophisticated character of the new top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo S is further highlighted by the wide range of features within the interior boasting sports seats with a Comfort Memory Package at the front, rear seats with single seat contours, entry trim made of stainless steel complete with a model designation, and two exclusive bi-colour combinations on the leather upholstery including contrasting seams and a dual-colour leather steering wheel with special padding on the rim. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia 103 The Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia The Rally-Winning Special Model After competing successfully in the Transsyberia Rally for two years, Porsche will be introducing the special Cayenne S Transsyberia in early 2009, thus carrying over the sporting success of this outstanding vehicle from rally racing to the road. When entering the Rally for the first time in 2007, no less than three Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia finished right at the top as one, two and three on their way from Moscow to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Batar. And when entering the Transsyberia Rally the second time from 11 – 25 July 2008, bringing home the first six places for Porsche after more than 7,000 kilometres or 5,000 miles, the Rally Cayenne was optimised once again to an even higher standard. Like the competition models, the special model now to be launched is based on the Cayenne S and features the high-performance 4.8-litre 405 bhp V8 naturally-aspirated power unit carried over from the Cayenne GTS. In conjunction with the final drive also carried over from the Cayenne GTS and shortened by 15 per cent to 4.1:1, the Cayenne S Transsyberia offers even better performance than the already outstanding Cayenne S: Acceleration from 0-100 km/h comes in just 6.1 seconds with the manual gearbox, 0.5 seconds faster than before. The modifications on the drivetrain, in turn, have an even greater effect on the car’s elasticity, the Cayenne S Transsyberia completing the interim sprint from 80 – 120 km/h with its manual gearbox in a truly impressive 6.6 seconds, two seconds faster than the Cayenne S. At 253 km/h or 157 mph, top speed of the new Cayenne S Transsyberia is likewise superior to the maximum speed of the Cayenne S. And last but not least, the Cayenne S Transsyberia is of course also available with Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Two dual tailpipes made of chrome-plated stainless steel on the sports exhaust system featured as standard underline the sporting performance of this special model in terms of both looks and sound. In the interest of optimum offroad handling, this special model comes as standard with air suspension including PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management. In the Special Terrain Mode, PASM enables the driver to lower ride height to 271 mm or 10.67”, raising the embankment angle to 31.8° at the front and 25.4° at the rear. 104 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia Exclusive design both outside and inside A particular highlight of the Cayenne S Transsyberia is its design reminiscent of the competition model in all its dynamic glory. In all, the new car is available with four attractive colour concepts, the customer having the choice not only of the Black/Orange and Crystal Silver Metallic/Orange combinations already well-known from the rally model, but also of a more discreet Black/Meteo Gray Metallic and Meteo Gray Metallic/Crystal Silver Metallic. The 18-inch Cayenne S II wheels, the louvres on the air intake grid, the “Cayenne S Transsyberia” trim letters applied on the side as a no-cost option, the exterior mirror housings and the upper section of the roof spoiler extended to the rear with its fixed- position doublewing profile all come in an appropriate contrasting colour. The offroad roof headlights already well-known from the competition model and so characteristic of this very special Cayenne are likewise available as a no-cost option and are handed over to the customer when taking delivery of the Cayenne S Transsyberia, but in Germany at least may only be used on private – and not public – roads, with regulations varying abroad from one market to the other. Taking their seats in the Cayenne S Transsyberia, the occupants will immediately enjoy the exclusive interior, the trim bars on the dashboard and doors, the instrument dials, the belts and the footmats with their coloured piping all finished in the same contrasting colour as the exterior. The steering wheel rim is specially padded and finished in Alcantara – and as a clear reference to motorsport, the steering wheel rim also comes with a 12 o’clock mark in the contrasting colour chosen by the customer. Last but not least, the Cayenne S Transsyberia is available with further Alcantara trim throughout the interior. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Hybrid 105 The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid Double Power By the end of this decade Porsche will be introducing a hybrid version of the Cayenne sports utility – and indeed, prototypes based on the Cayenne with its V6 power unit are already being tested today. The Cayenne Hybrid combines the 3.6-litre petrol engine featuring DFI Direct Fuel Injection with an electric motor, currently reducing fuel consumption to 9.8 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 28.8 mpg Imp) in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). And introducing further refinements and new technologies, Porsche is looking at a further improvement of fuel economy by the market launch of the Cayenne Hybrid to 8.9 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 31.7 mpg Imp. Parallel full hybrid Introducing hybrid technology, Porsche is taking a new approach, opting for parallel full hybrid instead of the branched or split power hybrid concept. Indeed, many reasons speak in favour of parallel full hybrid: • The high degree of compatibility of the hybrid components, on the one hand, and the existing platform of the Cayenne, on the other. The risk of having to accept restrictions affecting the capacity of the luggage compartment or all-wheel drive, for example, is reduced to a minimum by parallel full hybrid. • Greater fuel savings when driving overland and on the autobahn. Contrary to other hybrid concepts which offer their benefits primarily in city traffic, the system chosen by Porsche provides the option to run the vehicle without the combustion engine at speeds of up to 120 km/h or 75 mph. • Parallel full hybrid significantly improves both acceleration and elasticity, making the concept a perfect match for Porsche’s philosophy to offer exceptional performance combined with maximum efficiency in one. 106 Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne Hybrid System with three main components Parallel full hybrid is made up of the combustion engine, the electric motor, and the battery. These components are coordinated and masterminded by the Hybrid Manager receiving all driving and energy information and controlling the electric motor as well as the combustion engine for optimum fuel economy under all driving conditions and at all times. Some 20,000 data parameters have to be defined for the Hybrid Manager. For comparison, conventional engine management requires just 6,000 parameters. The system battery is housed in the trough beneath the luggage compartment of the Cayenne normally accommodating the spare wheel. It is made up of 240 cells generating overall output of 288 volts. The battery operates at an output of 38 kW and stores the energy generated while driving by the recuperative brakes and the shift in the load point of the combustion engine serving to optimise fuel economy. The energy recovered in this way can then be used to drive without the combustion engine exclusively on electric power or to support the combustion engine while in use. Electrohydraulic steering making its debut Hybrid technology requires solutions also to other challenges. On a conventional vehicle, for example, the power steering and brake servo depend on the combustion engine running at all times. In the case of hybrid drive, by contrast, the steering and underpressure pump for the brake servo have been electrified and the mechanical oil pump on the automatic transmission has been replaced by an electrical oil pump. An important first-time achievement by Porsche in this segment is the introduction of electrohydraulic steering offering the control and precision so typical of Porsche and Porsche cars. Model Year 2009 • Porsche Cayenne-Hybrid 107 Technology with a long history Professor Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the Company, developed the Lohner-Porsche Mixte incorporating not only a combustion engine, but also an electric motor, and with the ability to store energy in a battery, far back in the year 1900. The car was driven by a fourcylinder power unit connected directly to an 80 V dynamo. The generator provided the electric power for the wheel hub electric engines fitted in the front wheels. So it is fair to say that this was the first production car in the world to feature hybrid drive. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 109 DFI Direct Fuel Injection 911 with More Power on Less Fuel Presenting the new Carrera models, Porsche is also introducing DFI Direct Fuel Injection in the Company’s sports car engines. Featuring this new technology the fuel/air mixture is formed directly in the combustion chamber, providing more power and torque on less fuel. So like the V-engines in the Cayenne model series, Direct Fuel Injection combines enhanced fuel economy with superior engine power also on the flat-six power units. The driver benefits from a further advantage of Direct Fuel Injection immediately after every movement of the gas pedal: With fuel being injected fractions of a second prior to the charge cycle, the engines respond even more smoothly and spontaneously to even the slightest movement of the gas pedal. Indeed, this applies not only when accelerating, but also when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal, engine speed dropping more quickly since there is no residual gas left in the intake manifold which would still have to be burnt. All 911s with Porsche’s new DFI power units outperform the strict standards of the Euro 5 emission regulation not coming under force until September 2009. And like all of Porsche’s current models, the new 911s are configured for standardised fuel grades with up to 10 per cent of ethanol by volume. Homogeneous operation for optimum combustion Direct Fuel Injection on the new flat-six power units is configured for homogeneous operation, spreading out the fuel/air mixture consistently and with a perfect balance in the combustion chamber in the interest of optimum combustion. Depending on engine load and speed, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at a pressure of up to 120 bar. The fundamental advantage is that unlike conventional manifold injection, the fuel/air mixture is formed directly in the combustion chamber itself. So while with indirect injection some of the fuel is atomised prior to entering the intake valve still closed at that point, Direct Fuel Injection injects fuel directly into the cylinder only when the 110 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details valve is open. The injector itself is fitted between the two intake valves and is aimed directly at the two air jets drawn into the cylinder. This avoids the loss of fuel on the walls of the cylinder inevitably suffered in the conventional process due to fuel mist coming to rest on the walls of the intake manifold. As a result, the fuel/air mixture in the cylinder is even better than before, again setting an important foundation for a clean and complete combustion process. With the evaporating fuel reducing temperatures in the combustion chamber, the engine is able to draw in more air, increasing the cylinder charge and, accordingly, the engine’s output. At the same time the cooler fuel/air mixture allows a higher compression ratio in the interest of enhanced efficiency and, accordingly, more power on less fuel. Hence, the combustion chambers in all cylinders on both engines now come with a maximum compression ratio of 12.5:1 as opposed to 11.8:1 on the former 3.8-litre and 11.3:1 on the 3.6-litre. High-pressure stratified start-up for greater economy and lower emissions High-pressure stratified start-up technology serves immediately after the engine has started to minimise both fuel consumption and emissions right from the beginning in the first operating cycles. In the case of manifold injection fuel will come to rest on the cylinder walls and the valves during the intake phase, and is therefore no longer available for combustion as such. By contrast, Direct Fuel Injection only begins shortly before the end of the compression cycle in the start-up phase. The high-pressure stratified start system injects fuel directly into the specifically designed piston crown to create a stratification effect building up an ignitable fuel/air mixture around the spark plug. The piston crown, in turn, serves to guide the fuel injected directly to the spark plug, reducing not only the amount of fuel required, but also the level of emissions versus a conventional manifold injection engine. After starting in the high-pressure stratified mode, engine management switches over to the catalyst heat-up phase. At this point multiple injection raises the temperature of the exhaust gas to heat up the catalyst as quickly as possible. The air/fuel mixture is intentionally ignited at a very late point to further increase exhaust gas temperatures and reduce emissions while the engine is still in the start-up phase. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 111 Multiple injection for safe and reliable combustion The multiple injection mode is used a second time in the upper load range at engine speeds of up to approximately 3,500 rpm. This may be the case, for example, when the driver presses down the gas pedal to accelerate in gears from low engine speeds. In the process exactly the amount of fuel required for combustion is split up into several successive injection phases, fuel now being injected during the intake cycle with the intake valves open and thus serving again to optimise the fuel/air mixture in the interest of maximum economy. Under all other operating conditions, on the other hand, fuel is injected in one single process. Yet a further advantage of multiple injection is that the fuel injected is burnt smoothly, reliably and safely under all levels of engine load. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 113 VarioCam Plus Two Engine Concepts in One VarioCam Plus combines camshaft adjustment on the intake side (VarioCam) with valve lift adjustment also on the intake side (Plus). Featured for the first time in the 911 Turbo, this system serves to optimise output and performance, on the one hand, while at the same time reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, and improving running smoothness and refinement, on the other. The valve adjustment system is made up of switching cup tappets on the intake side of the engine operated by an electro-hydraulic 3/2-way switching valve. With two different cam contours on the intake camshaft, the engine always runs on the appropriate lift curve, with the cams switching from one to the other. To be specific, the cup tappets are made up of two interacting tappet elements locked one against the other with the help of a bolt. This creates a direct link, first, between the inner tappet and the small cam, and, second, between the outer tappet and the large cam. A hydraulic compensation unit for valve play is integrated in all cases in the tappet’s force flow line. Variable valve lift For all practical purposes VarioCam Plus means two engine concepts in one. As long as the engine is idling, valve lift is controlled by the small cams to a maximum limit of 3.6 millimetres and valve timing is optimised to keep any valve overlap on the engine to a minimum. The small valve lift serves to reduce friction, significantly increases the charge motion thanks to the very short opening times, and reduces emissions from any previous combustion within the combustion chambers. A further advantage is the considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions by up to 10 per cent, together with a much higher standard of idling quality. Under part load, in turn, the engine should preferably run with internal recirculation 114 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details of exhaust gases in order to minimise any throttle effect and to reduce fuel consumption accordingly. To achieve this goal, valve lift is shifted to a large overlap area, that is a long period for drawing in exhaust gases. Under full load, finally, superior torque and output are ensured by a highly efficient gas charge cycle with minimum losses, on the one hand, and an uncompromising cam contour, on the other, with 11 millimetres maximum valve lift and suitably adjusted opening and closing times during the valve cycle. VarioCam Plus also helps before you set out, for example, by considerably improving the engine’s starting characteristics when cool and by reducing emissions through the suitable adjustment of VarioCam Plus while the engine is warming up. Both of the two VarioCam Plus systems (camshaft adjustment and valve lift control) are master-minded by Motronic engine management designed especially for these particular requirements and offering a high standard of operating and computing capacity. This is indeed important, since the factors required for controlling VarioCam Plus are, in particular, engine speed, gas pedal position, engine oil and coolant temperature, as well as recognition of the gear currently in mesh. The driver’s commands in terms of engine power or torque are compared with control maps within the system, the Motronic control unit then deciding within milliseconds how VarioCam Plus should respond. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 115 Exhaust Gas Turbocharger A Pioneering Achievement: Turbines with Variable Geometry In the 911 Turbo Porsche is for the first time using exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG), each of the turbochargers integrated in the exhaust gas pipes in one row of cylinders. This technology is essential to make optimum use of the entire flow of exhaust gas at all operating points of the engine, thus generating the best possible boosting effect. In this specific case an exhaust gas turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG) combines the respective benefits of a small and, in turn, a large exhaust gas turbocharger. Benefiting from its narrow cross-section, a small turbocharger will respond promptly even to small amounts of exhaust gas flowing at high speeds, especially as the turbine wheel has minimum mass for fast acceleration. Thanks to this good response, the compressor wheel connected by a shaft to the turbine wheel will deliver compressed air to the combustion chambers right from the start at low engine speeds, increasing the engine’s power density in the process. The disadvantage is that as engine speeds increase with a higher throughput of air, flow resistance will increase accordingly, generating a higher level of counter-pressure and requiring some of the exhaust gas to be diverted through a waste gate or bypass valve. A large turbocharger presents exactly the opposite conditions, responding rather slowly at low engine speeds on account of its larger cross-section and greater turbine mass. By contrast, however, the exhaust gas counter-pressure is lower at a high level of air throughput. Intelligent control for higher and consistent pressure Variable turbine geometry (VTG) serves to simulate the cross-sections of the optimum turbocharger size in each case by varying the position of the turbine blades exposed to the flow of exhaust gas: At low engine speeds the blades close to form small air gaps, exhaust gas flowing through the small cross-section, being accelerated accordingly and reaching the turbine wheel in a radial flow and with high energy – precisely the same as on a small turbocharger. 116 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details This angle position of the blades is maintained until the system reaches the desired charge pressure. In the case of the 911 Turbo power unit, the charge pressure is set on average to approximately 1 bar at sea level, under full load and an outside temperature of 20° C (68° F). These parameters are crucial to the pressure at which combustion air is delivered to the cylinders, since this also changes the quality of the combustion process. With the flow of exhaust gas continuing to increase at higher engine speeds, the turbine blades open up further to control the turbocharger pressure. Electronic management integrated in the Motronic control unit, as well as the electrically operated adjustment mechanism, are conceived to adjust the guide blades from “open” to “closed” and vice versa within a very short period of approximately 100 milliseconds. Application of enhanced simulation processes allows the production of turbochargers with appropriate operating strength and a long service life suitable for regular production. A further point is that in addition to the existing oil cooling a water cooling system including an afterrun pump has been developed specifically to meet these requirements and is featured on the engine in order to reduce the high temperatures of the components involved. High-tech materials pave the way for regular use in series production The principle of variable turbine geometry (VTG) has been used on the diesel engine in a large scale for approximately ten years. However, it was not possible so far, mainly for thermal reasons, to carry over the technical systems used in the diesel engine to the gasoline power unit. One reason was that the exhaust gas temperature at the entry point to the turbine on a diesel engine is between 700 and 800° C, while the exhaust gas temperature on Porsche’s turbocarged power unit may easily reach 1000° C. Clearly, this has a significant effect on the adjustable rotor blades and makes significant demands in terms of structure and design quality. Only the introduction of extremely temperature-resistant materials and improved simulation methods has paved the way for the production of turbochargers for use in regular model series with the long-term strength and service life required. Over and above the existing oil cooling system, a water cooling system including a followup pump has been developed to reduce the high temperatures of the components involved. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 117 PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe Shifting faster, saving more Introducing the new generation of the 911, Porsche for the first time offers a Doppelkupplungsgetriebe or double-clutch gearbox as an option on the Company’s road-going sports cars. Fundamentally speaking, the new PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe is made up of a conventional manual gearbox divided into two separate gearbox units, plus a hydraulic control unit. The PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe is literally built around two radially arranged wet clutches controlled hydraulically and cooled/lubricated by oil. One clutch is for the first gearbox unit with the uneven (1,3,5,7) gears and reverse gear, the other clutch is for the second gearbox unit with the even gears (2,4,6). Via a number of pressure valves, the hydraulic control unit masterminds both the wet clutches and the gearshift cylinders placing the gear desired in mesh. As a result, the shift process perceived by the driver does not come from a change in gears in the gearbox itself, but rather from one clutch with positive engagement shifting to the other. To do this the clutch on one gearbox is opened and the clutch on the other gearbox is closed at exactly the same time in a simultaneous process. The big advantage is an even faster gearshift versus a conventional manual gearbox or a converter automatic transmission, with the gears already in mesh when shifting to avoid even the slightest interruption of traction and pulling power while changing gears. Yet a further point is that PDK offers benefits in terms of weight – despite the two additional gears, the PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe weighs some 10 kg or 22 lb less than the former Tiptronic S transmission. Porsche introduced this transmission technology back in the ’80s as the world’s first car maker to use the double-clutch gearbox successfully in motorsport in the Porsche 962 Group C racing car and therefore has more years of experience than any other manufacturer with the concept of a Doppelkupplungsgetriebe in a high-performance sports car. 118 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details While this very special gearbox proved highly successful in the Long-Distance World Motorsport Championship, series development was not pursued any further at the time, since the electronics and computer capacity back then were not yet sufficient to meet the substantial demands made of a road car in terms of motoring comfort. Compact high-performance wet clutches While separated from one another, the clutches are intertwined into one overall unit in order to minimise the space required for the Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. Each clutch consists of a complete package with five friction discs cooled by oil in accordance with current requirements. The two multiple-plate packages in the double clutch in radial arrangement may be closed independently of one another via control pistons acting under hydraulic pressure. A wet clutch offers a high standard of performance combined with compact dimensions, as well as a long service life. For use in a sports car with high engine torque, the principle of the wet-running multiple-plate clutch offers superior qualities through its thermal resistance, the high standard of motoring comfort, and torque capacity, and is therefore the better solution than a dry double-clutch. Shifting gears in a pre-selection process The specific operation of the PDK Porsche double-clutch gearbox is described most easily by the process of starting and setting off: As soon as the driver starts to accelerate in first gear, the second gear is pre-selected in the second gearbox unit still running free of load and with the second clutch still open. All this happens within just a few milliseconds in a process the driver will not even notice. When shifting into second gear the first clutch is opened and the second clutch closed simultaneously. As a result, torque is transferred smoothly and without the slightest loss of drive power from one clutch to the other, even under full load. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 119 This procedure is basically the same when shifting both up and down. In the manual mode, however, the driver is only able to shift under load from an uneven to an even gear and visa versa. However, the PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe offers the option to shift down several gears very quickly through a rapid succession of gearshift commands. And in the automatic mode the driver may skip individual gears, shifting down, say, directly from seventh to second gear. Should the driver wish to shift down in one and the same gearbox unit, for example from sixth to second gear, PDK shifts temporarily to fifth gear, while in the meantime second gear is pre-selected along the other row of gears and the engine is synchronised to the speed of the gearbox by briefly giving gas. Compared with Tiptronic S, PDK offers an even higher standard of sporting and dynamic motoring as well as enhanced agility for even greater driving pleasure. And the new gearbox shifts gears up to 60 per cent faster than the former automatic transmission. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 121 Ceramic Brakes Porsche PCCB Brake Technology Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG was the first car maker in the world to develop the ceramic composite brake disc with involute cooling ducts presented in the 911 GT2. And with the ceramic clutch in the Carrera GT, Porsche again became the first car maker to unveil the second innovation using this trendsetting material, the Carrera GT featuring both of these breakthrough components. Called Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), this innovative brake technology is a huge step forward, setting entirely new standards in the world of motoring, particularly when it comes to crucial criteria such as brake response, resistance to fading, weight, and service life in general traffic. PCCB: 50 per cent lighter Like Porsche's conventional metal brake discs, the ceramic composite brake discs are crossdrilled and vented from inside. In their dimensions they also differ only slightly from grey-cast iron discs. But comparing their weight, you will see right away that we are looking at two different worlds, with ceramic brake discs more than 50 per cent lighter. This not only helps to save fuel, but also means a reduction in unsprung masses with a further improvement of suspension response and behaviour. On the road this brake system ensures absolutely exemplary results. In conjunction with innovative brake pads, ceramic brake discs ensure a high and, in particular, consistent frictional coefficient throughout the entire deceleration process. This spares the driver unpleasant surprises whenever having to apply the brakes, say, from a high speed. 122 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details Brakes which initially appear to offer good grip but are not designed especially for high speeds like the brakes on a Porsche, lose their frictional coefficient in hot temperatures, requiring the driver to press down the brake pedal even harder. Compared with metal brake discs, abrasion is reduced to an absolute minimum thanks to the extreme surface hardness of ceramic brake discs. The service life of such discs is correspondingly much longer in general traffic, a further advantage being that ceramic discs are immune to corrosion and are therefore not affected in any way by salt grains or liquid salt. Following the enhancement of the ceramic brake discs, the inner cooling ducts come in new design, pumping even more cooling air through the rotating discs. At the same time an increase in the number of cooling ducts helps to make the discs even stiffer and more stable, significantly reducing the deformation of discs under high contact pressure. Last but not least, optimisation of the fibre reinforcement in the friction surface of the brake discs increases the discs' resistance to abrasion once again, particularly under high loads. For the customer, these improvements mean enhanced performance, greater braking comfort, and a further increase in the service life of the brake system. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 123 Side Airbags for the Coupé and Cabriolet Superior Safety also at the Side The Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP) System is made up of a thorax airbag on the outside of the front seat backrest with a capacity of no less than eight litres protecting the occupant at chest level and the world’s first head airbag in the door. The head airbag has been developed for both the Coupé and Cabriolet, protecting the driver and passenger safely and reliably – no matter whether the occupant is very tall or very short. Should the worst ever come to the worst, the head and thorax airbags are supplemented by the special structure of the car's body: The POSIP system also comprises a door reinforcement bar and a crossbar in the lower area of the C-pillar, these components made of highstrength steel serving to reduce intrusion from the side in the event of a collision. The side airbags are inflated when required by a hybrid gas generator. Accordingly, the pyrotechnical system is restricted to an absolute minimum in this case, serving primarily to open the valve in a collision allowing the two precious gases argon and helium to flow out of a pressure vessel into the gas-tight airbags. In a collision the side airbag on the impact side is actuated when required by a sensor in the sill area and the central actuator on the instrument panel. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 125 Porsche Traction Management Modern Generation of All-Wheel Drive The Porsche 911 Turbo is the world's first high-performance sports car to convey its supreme power into dynamic performance through fully controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive. Featured as standard and now also to be enjoyed on Porsche’s other models with all-wheel drive, PTM combines the driving pleasure provided by a rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive typical of Porsche with even greater driving stability, traction, and agile handling. To offer this supremacy on the road, PTM feeds exactly the right amount of engine power in each situation through a multiple-plate clutch to the front wheels, thus supplementing the flow of power to the rear wheels. Re-directing the flow of power within 100 milliseconds at the very most, PTM responds faster than the engine to a change in load and is also faster than the driver’s perception of any change in driving conditions. As a result, Porsche’s all-wheel-drive system is almost able to look and act ahead, which in practice means supreme agility on narrow country roads, excellent traction and a high standard of driving safety also in extreme manoeuvres at high speeds. Porsche Traction Management (PTM), featuring characteristics and qualities of this calibre, is among the most outstanding and, at the same time, the lightest all-wheel-drive systems in the market. Five basic functions for all requirements To meet these challenges in driving dynamics, PTM Porsche Traction Management comes with five essential basic functions: • Standard distribution of torque and engine power: Under regular driving conditions, PTM distributes engine power with infinite variability between the front and rear axle as a function of current, ongoing requirements. To do this, the system determines the need for engine power and torque on the front axle in millisecond cycles. Particularly at very high speeds, the driver will feel and benefit from a significant improvement of driving stability. 126 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details • Pre-loading: Monitoring typical parameters, PTM is able to detect dynamic changes in driving conditions at an early point in time and avoid wheel spin right from the start. When the driver starts the engine and sets off, for example, the system will determine how fast he is accelerating and pressing down the gas pedal. So even before the engine is able to translate this request for acceleration into actual torque conveyed to the wheels, PTM closes the multiple-plate clutch sufficiently to prevent the wheels from spinning to the greatest possible extent. This, in turn, means that all four wheels receive maximum drive power when setting off in the interest of optimum acceleration. • Slip control: Due to their supreme torque, the various models in 911 range may possibly reach the limit to traction on the rear axle when accelerating at speed on a wet surface. So here again, PTM intervenes to a higher degree, with the multiple-plate clutch feeding more torque and, as a result, more drive power to the front axle. • Oversteer control: Whenever the rear end of the car swerves to the outside in a bend on account of adverse circumstances such as wet leaves on the road, more power is fed to the front axle in order to stabilise the car. A further advantage of PTM is that it is able to consider the steering angle in sharing out power between the front and rear axles. So should the driver counter-steer with the car oversteering, PTM will adjust the flow of power to the front axle accordingly, stabilising the car even more quickly. The same effect is also provided by the next function. • Understeer control: Should, conversely, the car tend to understeer with its front wheels “pushing" out of a bend, PTM will reduce the feed of engine torque and power to the front axle. Indeed, thanks to its sophisticated sensors, PTM responds in both cases before the driver even notices any instability. The result is quick and active stabilisation of the car in fast and dynamic bends, with Porsche Stability Management (intervention of the brakes on a specific wheel) not being required that often. PTM also controls driving dynamics in the Cayenne Introducing the Cayenne model series, Porsche has succeeded in combining outstanding power and torque, sporting and agile handling as well as excellent driving dynamics with superior performance also off the beaten track. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 127 This is ensured to a large extent by Porsche Traction Management (PTM) featured as standard in the Cayenne, feeding 62 per cent of the engine's power to the rear and 38 per cent to the front wheels in the basic mode. Using a multiple-plate clutch operated by an electric motor and controlled electronically, the driver is able to vary the power split as required, if necessary even feeding 100 per cent of the engine's torque to the front or rear wheels. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) has a decisive influence on the entire driving dynamics of the Porsche Cayenne models. The map-controlled front-to-rear lock and the optionally available rear axle differential lock not only respond to lack of traction on the front or rear wheels, but also incorporate sensors within the PTM system measuring, say, the speed of the car, lateral acceleration, the steering angle and operation of the gas pedal, PTM thus determining the optimum lock on both axles and distributing the drive power actually required to the front and rear wheels. PTM may therefore be compared with an intelligently networked system providing superior driving stability and safe lane change behaviour both at high speeds and when driving on snow and ice at moderate speeds. This innovation offers a whole range of outstanding results: • Excellent driving stability and traction in all situations, regardless of the frictional coefficient. • Even more precise steering provided by the front-to-rear differential lock opening up to avoid any understeer effect. • Better control when driving to the limit ensured by the front-to-rear differential. • Enhanced directional stability and better road grip by operating the front-to-rear lock as required. • Maximum traction by increasing locking action before the wheels start to spin. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 129 Active Suspension System PDCC for enhanced handling and driving comfort Offering PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche has created an active suspension management system for the Cayenne ideally supplementing air suspension, on the one hand, and the variable PASM damper system, on the other. PDCC ensures infinite, ongoing control of body roll limiting the side angle of the vehicle in bends and completely setting off body roll in nearly all driving situations. A further advantage is enhanced agility ensured by the optimum build-up of side forces on the tyre, while the vehicle's steering behaviour is controlled and influenced by the variable distribution of roll forces. As a result of these improvements, the Cayenne not only offers significantly enhanced handling, but also a substantial improvement of driving stability, for example when changing lanes at high speeds. In addition, PDCC even registers bumps on the road and is in a position to smoothen out such bumpy surfaces by evaluating sensor data obtained from the suspension as well as the vehicle's road speed monitors. This Skyhook control, as it is called, seeks to keep the body of the vehicle in a horizontal position at all times, eliminating all effects and vibrations coming from the chassis. The result is a significant improvement of driving comfort on virtually all surfaces. An additional benefit offered by PDCC on rough terrain is the significant reduction of body vibrations ensured by active intervention in the anti-roll bars in conjunction with integrated road surface detection – which, in practice, means a significant improvement of motoring comfort. When driving offroad, optimum traction on various surfaces is particularly important. So whenever the driver in such a situation activates the low-range mode by pressing the toggle switch in the centre console, PDCC will change to the offroad mode and the system will allow maximum interplay and free movement of the axles at a speed of up to 35 km/h or 22 mph. To prevent the body from developing inherent momentum at higher speeds and in dynamic driving manoeuvres in the low-range mode, this control function is subsequently returned to normal in an ongoing process depending on road speed. 130 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details Counter-forces up to 180 bar PDCC is made up of two active anti-roll bars with an integrated hydraulic swivel motor in lieu of conventional anti-roll bars in the front and rear axle. The hydraulic swivel motors are connected in each case via their housing with one half of the anti-roll bars, while the other half is connected with the swivel motor shaft. A vane-cell adjuster subdivides the swivel motor into several chambers filled with fluid. By activating individual chambers and modifying the pressure of the fluid, the system builds up specific forces acting on the anti-roll bar, the two halves of the bar being turned against one another as a function of specific driving conditions. Two valve blocks fitted in the proximity of the swivel motors serve to vary oil pressure and flow very quickly in both directions, thus counteracting any side forces or inclination built up by the body. The oil pressure required is generated by a high-pressure pump delivering up to 180 bar of pressure to the valve blocks – enough to completely set off body roll under lateral acceleration of up to 0.65 g. This is a figure even the most sporting driver will hardly ever experience even on the most winding country roads and under the most dynamic driving conditions. The “heart" of the PDCC control system is the control centre developed by Porsche, using four sensors to measure the level of each wheel. Three further sensors then register body movement and acceleration, with the system also evaluating lateral acceleration, steering and road speed data. Applying these parameters, the control unit calculates the compensation forces required on each axle, responding so quickly that side forces are built up faster by the active anti-rollbars than the body is able to roll to the side. Since the figures measured are not always ideal in terms of driving comfort, lateral acceleration is measured in a permanent, ongoing process to provide a result not influenced or affected by adverse factors. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 131 This allows even more comfortable control when driving under very low lateral forces, although the system immediately re-applies the data measured as soon as the figures calculated and actually measured deviate from one another. PASM enables the driver to choose either the Normal, Comfort or Sports setting, with PASM and PDCC being operated by one and the same switch. Models fitted with this system come with silver-coloured suspension buttons on the centre console and the lettering “PDCC" shown proudly within the interior. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 133 Porsche Communication Management New PCM with Touchscreen Monitor Porsche Communication Management with its unique display and control concept referred to as PCM for short has now been enhanced to an even higher standard in all Porsche models. Serving as the central control unit for all audio and communication functions, PCM now offers an even higher standard of performance, is even more versatile, and much easier to use. The main feature of the new PCM control unit is the touchscreen monitor with its long-lasting, easy-to-clean surface coating. Compared with the former model, the number of hard keys has been halved to just 16. Clear menu guidance, in turn, is ensured by a logical and straightforward style of presentation, with the driver or front passenger finding the most important functions in a clear-cut main menu. A number of functions used less frequently has been moved to the second menu level (“OPTION”), while the number of menu boxes compared with the previous system has been reduced from five to three. Over and above the single-CD/DVD player featured as standard, PCM is now also available as an option with a six-CD/DVD changer fully integrated into the control unit for easy access by the driver. The changer supports the same formats as the single-CD/DVD player and offers remarkable capacity, with some 25,000 minutes of music available on music DVDs. CDs or DVDs are loaded and ejected one after the other through the PCM shaft after choosing the slot in the magazine. For even faster calculation of routes: navigation module with hard disc For the first time the optional PCM navigation module comes with a fully integrated 40 GB hard disc comprising the navigation data of most countries in a given region. This allows much faster calculation of routes, with three alternative routes being offered to the driver for his personal choice. 134 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details A further advantage of the touchscreen monitor is that the driver is able to specify his destination very quickly, receiving information on traffic congestion and special destinations simply by tipping the symbols on the map. Yet a further benefit is that the driver is able to easily and quickly enter stopovers along the way, such as the nearest filling station, into the ongoing guidance process. Porsche’s new PCM also offers the well-known enhanced navigation functions, with route guidance along a route recorded in advance (referred to as backtrace navigation) being one option, simple and straightforward navigation in non-digitalised regions using the compass and GPS another option offered by the system. The electronic logbook likewise remains optional on Porsche’s new models equipped with PCM, enabling the driver to automatically determine the car’s current mileage, the distance covered, the date and time, as well as his point of departure and arrival. And now the data recorded may be read out in two ways: Either via the Bluetooth® PCM interface featured as standard or via USB in conjunction with the optional, universal audio interface. The data obtained in this way may subsequently be evaluated at home on the user’s PC, using the software provided together with the electronic logbook. This process complies in full with the requirements made by the financial authorities in many countries in documenting automatic logbook readings and registrations. A new and highly convenient alternative: voice entry For the first time the latest generation of voice entry allowing the user to speak out complete words is now available for extra comfort and safety in conjunction with the new hard disc navigation process. Hence, the user is able to select nearly all PCM functions by voice entry, allowing him to read out every item in the menu the way it is presented on the screen. The system recognises commands or a row of numbers regardless of the respective speaker, and does not have to learn its operation mode in a long and tedious process. Voice control also provides acoustic feedback and guides the user in a clear dialogue through the various functions. Model Year 2009 • Technical Details 135 Parallel Full Hybrid The New Team As a leading manufacturer of sporting premium cars, Porsche is also set to offer competitive drivetrain solutions with a low level of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. And hybrid technology combining the classic combustion engine with an electric motor ensures particular benefits in this context. Already working on this technology, Porsche will be featuring hybrid drive by the end of this decade in the Cayenne and subsequently also in the four-seater Panamera Gran Turismo. But in this process of focusing on hybrid technology, Porsche will be taking a new approach, introducing parallel full hybrid technology instead of conventional output-branched hybrid drive or “split hybrid", to use the common term. Hybrid Manager for perfect coordination In principle, parallel full hybrid technology is made up of three main components: the combustion engine, the electric motor, and the battery. The entire system is coordinated by the Hybrid Manager receiving all driving and energy-related information and thus masterminding the electric motor and the combustion engine for optimum fuel economy under all driving conditions. In all, some 20,000 data parameters have to be defined for the Hybrid Manager, as opposed to approximately 6,000 data parameters for conventional engine management. The battery integrated in the system is housed in the spare wheel trough of the Cayenne, developing maximum output of 38 kW in the test vehicles and saving the energy generated while driving by means of recuperative application of the brakes and a shift in load points on the combustion engine serving to optimise fuel economy. The energy obtained in this way is used both to drive the vehicle exclusively on electric power without the combustion engine or to boost the combustion engine while in running for extra power and performance. 136 Model Year 2009 • Technical Details “Sailing" without the combustion engine at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) Several reasons speak in favour of this truly unique, unprecedented concept: The first point is that the hybrid components are highly compatible with the existing platform of the Cayenne, meaning that the risk of suffering restrictions in terms of, say, luggage compartment capacity or all-wheel-drive technology is limited to a minimum on the Parallel Full Hybrid. The second point is that this concept offers significant fuel savings when driving overland or on the Autobahn: While other hybrid concepts offer their benefits mainly in city traffic (and not so much under other conditions), the system used by Porsche enables the driver to “sail" at speeds of up to 120 km/h or 75 mph, cruising along without the combustion engine even at relatively high speeds. Yet a further point is that Parallel Full Hybrid ensures a further improvement of both acceleration and flexibility, again offering a concept absolutely appropriate and suitable for Porsche. Facing and overcoming further challenges Another highlight offered by Porsche is the electrification of the car’s ancillary units. The Cayenne Hybrid is the first vehicle in its class to feature electrohydraulic steering guaranteeing steering precision typical of Porsche also in this special model. In other words, the Cayenne Hybrid completes the slalom test and rapid evasion manoeuvres in extremely sporting and dynamic style, clearly reflecting the particular strength of the brand. Where it all began – the Lohner-Porsche “Mixte" Way back in 1900, Professor Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the brand, developed the Lohner-Porsche “Mixte" featuring not only a combustion engine, but also an electric motor, as well as the ability to store energy in a battery. So it is fair to say that this trendsetting vehicle was the world’s first production car with hybrid drive. And even back then, Porsche clearly focused on lightweight construction, the racing version of the “Mixte" weighing a mere 1,075 kg or 2,370 lb. Model Year 2009 • Exclusive & Tequipment 137 Exclusive & Tequipment Individual Style to the Very Last Detail The discerning connoisseur opting for a Porsche knows from the start that he – or she – is buying a very special car. So choosing a Boxster, the Cayman, a 911 or the Cayenne, the customer also has the opportunity to turn his Porsche into a truly unique and unmistakable one-off model – which means a car tailor-made for the customer in terms of design, performance, and everyday driving qualities. Right from the factory, Porsche Exclusive fulfils customer wishes going – far – beyond what you might normally expect, in some cases even offering highly individual and exclusive one-off features of truly the highest standard. And naturally this is always in full compliance with the demanding quality and safety standards of Porsche AG. Porsche Tequipment, in turn, offers a wide range of customisation options as well as retrofittable features and accessories for the car even after it has left the factory, also available from Porsche dealers everywhere. Porsche Exclusive: the highest degree of customisation The customer ordering a new Porsche is able to benefit from a unique range of individual features and options right from the start thanks to Porsche Exclusive. Focusing on the creativity and individual style of the respective customer, the specialists at Porsche Exclusive apply the highest level of craftsmanship, use the very best materials, and attach utmost attention to detail to achieve the utmost in every respect. Indeed, this often means cars created under the sign of Porsche Exclusive not to be found a second time the world over. For nearly everything is possible – from the most refined interior features with hand-sewn, top-quality leather all the way to Aerokits and SportDesign Packages for various models naturally proven and tested on the Nürburgring race track and in Porsche’s own wind tunnel. 138 Model Year 2009 • Exclusive & Tequipment Numerous options are available for Porsche sports cars in virtually all product categories. Particular highlights are the sports exhaust systems for the Boxster and Cayman, the Aerokit Turbo for the 911 Turbo Coupé, the Aerokit Cayman, and a wide range of special features refining the interior with the help of materials such as leather, wood, carbon, or alcantara.

The Aerokit Turbo helps to give the 911 Turbo a really uncompromising, ultra-sporting look. Made up of a new spoiler lip and a new rear lid complete with the rear spoiler and fixedposition wing, the Aerokit Turbo comes with components optimised for perfect aerodynamics in Porsche’s wind tunnel, reducing lift forces, enhancing the car’s driving stability, and accentuating the sporting look and flair of the car all at the same time. Apart from these components, the regular side-sills and the lower body panel at the rear may also be painted in exterior colour. Tequipment likewise offers an Aerokit for the Cayman models. The front end of the car optimised for aerodynamics and design, together with a new, fixed-position rear spoiler, enhance driving stability and, as the final result, ensure even greater driving pleasure. 140 Model Year 2009 • Exclusive & Tequipment Wheels finished in black are a further eye-catcher on all models. Porsche’s sports cars, for example, are available with 19-inch SportDesign wheels with the rim star finished completely in black. The Cayenne, in turn, is available with black paint on the 21-inch Cayenne SportPlus wheels. Porsche Tequipment leaves nothing to be desired also in terms of transport options, offering a wide range of features extending from protection tubs for transporting wet or soiled objects in the front and rear luggage compartments and a roof transport system with various transport options such as a roof box, a ski, snowboard, or bicycle rack. Entering the market in October 2008, Porsche’s new child seats are a genuine highlight, offering modern, truly unique design and naturally complying in full with the latest safety standards. Specially tested and approved for Porsche cars, the new child seats offer occupants up to 12 years of age superior safety and comfort. The surface materials have an active breathing effect, are friendly to the skin and easy to wash, since the seat cover is removable and washable. The new child seats come in black/grey with red piping. Depending on the respective model, the child seats fit easily and safely on the front passenger’s seat and at the rear together with the child seat preparation kit or a three-point belt system. To provide even greater safety, finally, the Porsche Baby and Porsche Junior Seat ISOFIX® come with their own five-point belt system. The interior may be upgraded in many different ways – whether in sporting carbon and alcantara style or with a truly elegant look in top-quality wood trim. A new feature available in Porsche’s sports cars are sports bucket seats with a folding backrest, an integrated thorax airbag, and manual fore-and-aft adjustment. In this case the seat shell or bucket itself is made of glass- and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic with the surface in clear carbon look. The folding backrest on the sports seats allows convenient loading and unloading of the storage compartment at the rear. Model Year 2009 • Exclusive & Tequipment 141 The sports bucket seats are available individually in black leather complete with an embossed Porsche logo on the headrest or in black cloth made of a flame-repelling material. And last but certainly not least, the sports bucket seats offer a considerable reduction in weight versus the standard or “regular” sports seats. The particular point about Porsche Tequipment is that all Original Accessories from Tequipment naturally come with Porsche’s exacting quality standards, the various features and options available from Porsche Tequipment all comprising parts and components tested and approved by Porsche: All model-specific Tequipment products are developed, tested and approved by the same Porsche designers and engineers also responsible for the development, testing and approval of Porsche cars themselves.
