Identity is all about temperament, personality and
heritage. What defines us is that which sets us
apart from others. This is also true of the new 911.
Performance, efficiency and design: three key
elements that reflect the car’s individual character –
and meet your individual requirements. Not of a
sportscar, but of a 911.

Intelligent ideas for an efficient future
Dear Porsche enthusiast,
Porsche Intelligent Performance – the quintessence
of more than 60 years of sportscar engineering.
After all, Porsche performance is based on intelligent
ideas for more efficient engines and lighter bodies.
For greater output combined with reduced fuel
consumption and lower emissions.
Our identity can be summed up in many words, and
by three digits. The new 911 sets new standards in
terms of athleticism and efficiency, in keeping with
the principle of Porsche Intelligent Performance.
We are pleased to present this new milestone in
Porsche history to you in detail.
The Boxster E offers another glimpse into the future
of the sportscar. The ‘E’ stands for an all-electric,
emission-free drive. The research vehicle has a
maximum output of 180 kW and a range of up to
170 km. In this edition of Porsche News, you can
read all about electric mobility, Porsche style.
State-of-the-art drive concepts also play an important
role in Porsche motorsport. That’s why Porsche is
returning to Le Mans with an LMP1 sports prototype.
The first outing of the completely redeveloped
racecar is scheduled for 2014. Join us in celebrating
our comeback at this famous racing event.
As always, we will also be looking back at some
special vehicles from Porsche history, such as
the first-ever 911 of 1963, and at the painstaking
restoration of the Porsche 911 T of 1973 by
Porsche Classic.
Enjoy a fascinating read.

The stainless steel tailpipes have been restyled for
both models. On the 911 Carrera S, twin tailpipes are
fitted on each side. Another new feature is the wider,
extendable rear spoiler, which reduces lift in all driving
scenarios, thereby enhancing stability. The 911 Carrera
and the 911 Carrera S are equipped as standard with
19-inch and 20-inch wheels, respectively. One inch
larger than those of the previous model, they
underline the purposeful stance of the new 911,
and their increased rolling circumference improves
both comfort and performance. In summary, form
always follows function. As a design principle, it
couldn’t be more straightforward, but it’s what makes
the 911 a 911. It’s also how we have managed to
achieve a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29.
Their slimline design contrasts with that of the rounded
headlights. Together with the two integral air intakes,
they give the front of the new 911 its unmistakable
look. At the rear, everything feels sharper: the styling,
the appearance and the overall effect. This is due
not least to the pronounced profile edge and new
LED taillights, their stretched design accentuating the
horizontal contouring of the rear. The characteristic
reflector units are positioned much lower – for a highly
distinctive rear design, particularly at night.
One thing was clear. To be able to build the new 911, we would need to reflect on where we came from. What is it that defines us? The engineering credentials suggested by the title ‘Dr. Ing.’ in our company name, certainly. More than 28,000 racing victories, definitely. However, we also embrace our responsibility for the future of the sportscar and for the wider environment. Then there is the iconic status of the 911, but all this means nothing unless we continue to breathe new life into old ideas.
Many legends look to the past. This one looks to the future. The new 911.
The new 911
Exterior design.
Form always follows function. As a design principle, it
couldn’t be more simple, but it’s what makes the 911
a 911 since 1963. However, we are also continually
updating the car’s appearance. The modified vehicle
architecture, with a wider track at the front axle and
the lower roofline, gives the front of the new 911 a
dynamic appearance that is both sporty and elegant.
The wheelbase is 100 mm longer for improved
stability and cornering dynamics. Overhang is now
shorter at the front and rear, making the new 911
look even more compact. Fitted as standard, the new
Bi-Xenon headlights still have the familiar oval-shaped
surrounds. Adding to the car’s classic appeal, they
also offer a glimpse of the technically impressive
inner workings. The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) with dynamic cornering lights and speed-
sensitive headlight control is available as an option.
The direction indicators, daytime running lights and
position lights all feature LED technology and are
integrated into the separate front light units.
Interior design.
At Porsche, we don’t build everyday sportscars,
we build sportscars for everyday life. How? By
understanding that exceptional agility and outstanding
comfort are not mutually exclusive, but essential
elements of a harmonious overall concept.
What this means becomes clear the moment you
step into the car. The extended wheelbase now
offers 25 mm more legroom in the front than in
previous 911 models. Comfort and athleticism
are also reflected in the clever ergonomics that
characterise the entire interior design. The materials
used, the layout of the controls and their operating
logic belong to a new generation of sportscar. New
to the 911 is the elevated centre console.
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of the
five round instruments with the rev counter in the
middle, while further new additions include the
instrument cluster with a high-resolution 4.6-inch
full VGA TFT colour display for viewing on-board
computer, audio system or navigation information.
Fitted as standard, the sports seats combine
excellent comfort with racing style support and
now feature 4-way electric adjustment. Also new is
the optional light design package for the footwells,
storage compartments, rear compartment and
overhead console. As ever, we offer an extensive
selection of interior colours and materials, such as
carbon, leather, wood or aluminium.
Acoustics are an integral part of the concept, and
they aren’t restricted to the engine sound alone.
Available as an option is the Burmester® High-End
Surround Sound System. Tailored to the new
911 Carrera models, it features 12 loudspeakers
and a total output of 821 watts for a perfect spatial
sound.
In summary, the new 911 proves that style and
engineering along with comfort and performance can
go hand in hand. For us, there is no contradiction
and certainly no need for compromise. After all, a
strong personality does not deny the existence of
opposites, it unites them successfully – another
hallmark of the 911 identity.

The 911 Carrera S also displays its rich racing heritage
both visibly and audibly: with the resonant sound
from its boxer engine, twin tailpipes in brushed
stainless steel and 20-inch Carrera S wheels.
You can also feel it, thanks to Porsche Active

as standard, the optional PASM sports suspension
with outstanding aerodynamics and the ride height
lowered by 20 mm, or the optional Sport Chrono
Package and dynamic engine mounts.
Available as standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring

an active anti-roll system, is available as an option –
for enhanced agility, comfort and safety.
The new 911 Carrera.
Tradition and innovation combine seamlessly in
the new rear-mounted 3.4-litre boxer engine thanks
to its downsized capacity. Despite the reduced
displacement, the engine is capable of delivering
even more power to the road than its 3.6-litre
predecessor.
The figures speak for themselves: 257 kW (350 hp) at
7,400 rpm. Maximum torque: 390 Nm at 5,600 rpm.
Yet, in conjunction with the optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), both fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions have been reduced by 16 %. Even
more impressively, the car accelerates from 0 to
100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed
of 289 km/h. The power of the new 911 Carrera is
transmitted precisely and directly to the wheels by
the new 7-speed manual gearbox. The SPORT
button, which is fitted as standard, makes it
possible to select an even more responsive engine
and transmission setup.
Models.The new 911 Carrera S.
It has all the characteristics you would expect of
a sportscar whose origin is in motorsport. The
performance figures leave no doubt as to the car’s
genes. The 3.8-litre engine with direct fuel injection
(DFI) and VarioCam Plus delivers 294 kW (400 hp)
at 7,400 rpm. Maximum torque of 440 Nm is
available at 5,600 rpm. With a manual gearbox,
the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in just
4.5 seconds, all the way up to a top speed of
304 km/h.
All this power is matched with outstanding efficiency.
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been
reduced by 14 % compared with the previous model.
This has been possible thanks to the Auto start/stop
function, which is available as standard, and the
coasting function in conjunction with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch
transmission.

Summary.
To us, heritage and future are inseparably linked.
Of course, we could simply have made a capable
sportscar, but this wouldn’t have been a Porsche,
and certainly not a 911. Our identity is the 911. This
is especially true, even in the 21st century. Instantly
recognisable and originally engineered for the
racetrack, it continues to stir the emotions today,
just as it did back in 1963.
We follow a principle we call Porsche Intelligent
Performance. Three words that perfectly sum
up what we stand for. And three digits: the new
Porsche 911. Porsche identity.
Efficiency through lightweight construction.
The new 911 fulfils two structural design requirements
thanks to its completely new bodyshell: firstly,
excellent driving dynamics owing to the body’s
extremely high rigidity; secondly, a weight saving
of approximately 50 kg in the bodyshell due to
intelligent lightweight construction.
To meet the second requirement, we employed
innovative, high-precision joining techniques in order
to benefit from specific material properties exactly
where they are needed. For the bodyshell, therefore,
we employed very thin, but nevertheless extremely
rigid, sheets of steel. Aluminium was used extensively
in areas such as the roof, underbody, front and rear
sections, doors, wings, and the engine compartment
and luggage compartment lids. The cockpit support
beam is made from lightweight magnesium. Such
efficient use of materials is key to reducing the
overall weight and, as a result, fuel consumption.
For the driver, this intelligent blend of materials
reduces the weight of the vehicle and offers a high
level of comfort thanks to excellent vibration damping
characteristics and particularly high composite rigidity,
an increase in dynamic torsional rigidity of up to 25 %
compared with that of the previous model, and even
better handling.

The Boxster E
the 918 Spyder – the high-performance hybrid with
plug-in technology, for both road and track. The
new Boxster E takes a completely new path – and
not just in terms of its engine sound. The research
vehicle has no combustion engine on board at all.
It is expected to play a pioneering role as part of
the Federal Government’s ‘Electro-Mobility in Model
Regions’ project in Stuttgart, which explores the
question of how to make electro-mobility more
suitable for everyday use, particularly with regard
to driving and battery charging.
How do you define a Porsche? It is the successful reconciliation of seeming opposites. The principle of getting the maximum out of what is possible – and that which may appear impossible. A principle of sports performance that is derived from the racetrack and is embodied by each and every one of our cars. We call it Porsche Intelligent Performance.
It provides the basis for innovations such as the
intelligent interpretation of the hybrid drive on the
Panamera S Hybrid and Cayenne S Hybrid – for
lower fuel consumption on the road. Or the front
axle hybrid with flywheel energy storage on the
911 GT3 Hybrid and 918 RSR race lab – for efficient
performance on the racetrack. And naturally for
The Boxster E research vehicle.
The ‘E’ stands for an all-electric drive – and therefore
for emission-free driving pleasure. The Boxster E
research vehicle comes in two variants: a version
with a single electric machine and an output of
90 kW, and another with two electric machines that
delivers 180 kW and is the first Boxster to feature
all-wheel drive.
There’s no clutch pedal or gear lever. The motors
reach speeds of up to 12,000 rpm without the need
for any gear changes. The all-wheel drive Boxster E
completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5
seconds, all the way up to a top speed of 200 km/h.
The whole system is controlled by the power
electronics. The car is based around the conventional
Boxster chassis with the traction battery and electrical
drive components located where the mid-mounted
engine is usually sited. This layout helps to reduce
driving resistance for optimum range. An overall
concept for a completely new driving experience.
In short: pure pleasure behind the wheel.
The Boxster E is powered by a lithium-iron-phosphate-
based traction battery (LiFePO4) and driven by two
electric machines on the front and rear axles that
operate independently of each other with a fixed gear
ratio. A central electric control unit synchronizes the
two electric machines and controls the distribution
of drive torque.
What does it feel like to drive a Porsche with zero emissions? Electrifying!
For further information on the Boxster E, go to: www.porsche.com/intelligent-performance
With a capacity of 29 kWh, of which around 26 kWh
can be used due to the operating principle, the
battery offers exceptional power and performance.
Its maximum output is around 240 kW, that’s 60 kW
more than the all-wheel drive Boxster E requires
under full load.
High-voltage connections for rapid charging in under 30 minutes.
The cells are housed in a total of ten block-
shaped modules, each containing 44
individual cells. The internal charging
device is connected at the high-
voltage port, so that the battery can
be charged at a capacity of 3.3 kW
using a standard household socket.
However, a higher charging capacity
of up to 60 kW can be achieved by
using an external high-speed charger,
which also reduces the charging time to
under 30 minutes.
The result: typical Porsche performance in terms of
the charging process as well as responsiveness – from
the word go. All this without any local emissions,
yet with the high performance usually associated
with the Boxster S powered by a conventional en-
gine. A truly electrifying experience!
The Boxster E
High-voltage battery.
With regard to electro-mobility, the highest demands
are placed on the batteries. These need to be
compact, lightweight and powerful, as well as highly
durable and able to rapidly absorb a high level of
energy. Just like the high-voltage battery developed
and tested by Porsche Engineering. Designed
especially for use in the Boxster E, it delivers the
levels of power typically required by sportscars,
while at the same time being lightweight and optimally
positioned in the car. The traction battery weighs
341 kg and replaces the combustion engine of the
conventional production vehicle, usually powered
by a mid-mounted unit. This has a positive effect on
the vehicle’s centre of gravity, thereby enhancing its
driving dynamics.
The cells used are made of lithium iron
phosphate (LiFePO4) and provide a
balanced mix of energy and power
density. They are also very durable
and safe. The battery is fully charged
at approximately 363 volts. The target
range is 170 km in accordance with
the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
The Porsche works team returns to Le Mans with an
LMP1 sports prototype. The first outing of the completely
newly developed racecar is scheduled for 2014. With
16 overall victories, Porsche is the most successful
manufacturer at Le Mans to date. It celebrated its most
recent win in 1998 with the Porsche 911 GT1.
Since then, Porsche Motorsport has focused on
customer racing. The RS Spyder sports prototype
alone, which was run from 2006 to 2008 by the
factory-backed Penske Racing team in the LMP2
category in the American Le Mans Series, caused a
sensation with its spectacular overall victories and
class wins. Other customer teams went on to enjoy
further great successes with the racecar.
“With the RS Spyder we proved that our motorsport
engineers in Weissach are at the forefront”, says
Wolfgang Hatz, Board Member for Research and
Development at Porsche AG. “For instance, we were
the first to run a high-revving race engine with direct
fuel injection, setting new standards in performance
and efficiency.”
Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport, is
already prepared for one of the most challenging
development programmes in the company’s history:
“We’re looking forward to the task of developing new
technologies and to continuing on with the success
of the Porsche RS Spyder. After the conclusion of
our works-supported sports prototype programme
in the American Le Mans Series, we have kept up
with the latest technological advances. Now we will
begin with the detailed research in order to evaluate
the various concept alternatives for our new car.
These obviously depend on how the regulations for
2014 look in detail. In principle, these regulations
are interesting for us, because the integration of
our hybrid technology in the vehicle concept is one
possible option.”
Porsche has already proven that hybrid technology
and sportscar engineering are the perfect partners
with its production vehicles, the Panamera S Hybrid
and Cayenne S Hybrid. As Porsche has its roots in
motor racing, the introduction of hybrid technology
into motorsport was sure to follow fairly swiftly.
The 911 GT3 R Hybrid has already enjoyed great
success at endurance events and the new 918 RSR
race lab with the racing number 22 is getting revved

The Porsche 911 of 1963
The Porsche 911 of 1963.The birth of a sporting legend. The 911 was originally premiered as the 901 at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in 1963. However, a French manufacturer claimed copyright over the use of all model numbers with zero in the middle. Porsche therefore changed the name from 901 to 911 – three digits that are still guaranteed to set any sportscar enthusiast’s heart racing.
Porsche worked on the shape of the body for the
911 during the 1950s, back when the 356 was the
driving force behind the company. The silhouette
finally used was designed by Ferry Porsche’s son,
Ferdinand Alexander.
Model: Porsche 911
Engine: 6-cylinder boxer engine, air-cooled,
DOHC
Max. power: 130 hp (96 kW) at 6,100 rpm
Displacement: 1,991 cm3
Fuel system: two Solex triple carburettors,
tank capacity: 62 litres
Transmission: 5-speed manual gearbox
Chassis:
Monocoque bodyshell with independent front suspen-
sion featuring transverse links and damper struts,
longitudinal torsion bars, independent rear suspension
featuring semi-trailing links and transverse torsion bars
Dimensions and weight:
Wheelbase: 2,211 mm
Length: 4,163 mm
Width: 1,610 mm
Height: 1,320 mm
Unladen weight: 1,080 kg
Top speed: 210 km/h
Right from the start it was clear that the successor
to the 356 would also have a rear-mounted engine.
The chosen unit was a six-cylinder boxer engine with
an axial fan and – due to the greater speed reserves
– an overhead camshaft on each side.
The camshafts were chain-driven. The 356 frame
and chassis were replaced with new designs.
The result was a car about which Ferry Porsche later
said, “The 911 shaped the unmistakable character of
the Porsche sportscar”. And this still holds true
today.
A brilliant piece of restoration history:Porsche Classic gives the Porsche 911 T a new lease of life.
The car has a silver exterior and a black interior,
the classic colour combination that people found
so appealing back then. Little wonder that this
classic model is now a much-coveted collector’s
item. However, anyone who saw the vehicle in its
pitiful condition last autumn can only imagine the
time and effort that the experts from Porsche
Classic must have put into restoring this Porsche
to its former glory, inside and out.
The vehicle was in need of extensive work: after
the paint was stripped and the car was completely
dismantled, the 911 was immersed in a cataphoretic
bath, a modern dip-painting process designed to
prolong its service life. The restoration also entailed
a complete reconstruction of the engine and
transmission, as well as interior refurbishment.
Elegant, streamlined, sporty and stunning to behold – when almost a full year’s work comes to such a resplendent
conclusion, the seasoned experts from Porsche Classic can’t help but feel proud of the masterpiece they have
created. The Porsche 911 T Coupé, US version, built in 1973, looks as fresh as the day it rolled off the production
line and is still full of 1970s charm.
‘Revive the Passion’, a joint project by the Porsche
Club of America (PCA), Porsche Club Coordination
and Porsche Classic, is now complete. Workshop
manager Jochen Bader accompanied the vehicle
in person to Stuttgart Airport to oversee the
securing and packing of this valuable freight onto
the aluminium pallet. Goodbye, 911 T – have a good
trip back to the US. After the vehicle was raffled
off to PCA members, the winner took receipt of
this classic gem at the Porsche Parade in America
and the passion was revived once more.

Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia – Singapore 2011
Blasting off the streets of Singapore
The exhilarating racing competition gathered international Porsche Motorsport fans and other exclusive guests to cheer for their favourite Porsche drivers as they battled over two races of 12 laps each during the FORMULA ONE SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX weekend.
Rounds 9 and 10 of the Porsche SC Global Carrera
Cup Asia – Singapore 2011 (PCCA 2011) season was
brought to the Lion City by Porsche China and long-time
series partner, Singapore luxury property developer, SC
Global Developments. The intense races had Porsche
fans sitting on the edge of their seats at the exclusive
Porsche Grandstand as twenty-six 911 GT3 Cup racing
machines swept through the 5.073 km Marina Bay
street circuit, known to be unforgiving to small mistakes
with its tight chicanes and fast corners. This, however,
did not manage to intimidate the participating drivers as
they fiercely fought for the crown.
As if competition was not strong enough, PCCA
2010’s champion, Team StarChase’s Christian
Menzel, and second winner in the Porsche Carrera
Spectators from the exclusive Porsche Grandstand.
Cup Australia, SC Global Racing’s Craig Baird, were
back again in Singapore as substitute drivers.
The first race began at 5.30 pm on 24 September
2011. Menzel took a victorious win despite his wrong
choice in tyres and the occurrence of the brief Safety
Car Period after Modena Motorsport’s Wayne Shen
hit the wall. Following closely behind Menzel, was
Baird pushing harder than ever to catch up. LKM’s
Keita Sawa of Japan was third across the line and
was applauded for doing such an excellent job for
this Marina Bay debut. Pauian Archiland Absolute
Racing’s Jeffrey Lee took victory by overtaking Team
Kangshun’s Ringo Chong, leaving OpenRoad Racing’s
Francis Lee in the third place after a strong run which
almost ended up in disaster just two laps from the
flag. Tjia ran wide, forfeiting a place to a hard charging
Anthony Liu who himself then hit trouble almost
crashing into the barriers. Eventually, Liu crossed the
line as 13th, finishing Round 9 of the Carrera race.
Before the second race on the following day, Porsche
Club members and exclusive guests were all invited
to the PCCA 2011 Brunch, held at Marina Bay Sands,
to give Porsche enthusiasts a complete motorsport
experience. An informative presentation on Porsche
Exclusive and Tequipment provided insights for
Porsche owners on customizing their Porsche. At
the Fitting Lounge, guests explored the different
configurations available to recreate their dream
Porsche car using multi-touch screens.
The entertainment options were aplenty. A glamorous
fashion show was put up by Porsche Design flaunting
the latest season’s collections. Racing stimulators
were set up to give everyone the opportunity to
experience driving a Porsche. Not forgetting, a wide
spread of sumptuous international fare for all to enjoy.
The cars blasted off again into their final race in
Singapore at 5.00 pm. A superb display of strong
tussling between Menzel and Baird, and behind them,
a trio made up of Avila, O’Young and Sawa was not to
be missed as they fought hard to take lead. In lap five,
more high-speed jostling occurred as Top Speed Racing

Porsche Parade Southeast Asia 2011
Bringing together Porsche owners from around Southeast Asia.In conjunction with the Formula 1 weekend, the inaugural Porsche Parade Southeast Asia 2011 was organised specially for our family of passionate Porsche customers to enjoy a week of fun-driving and gathering.
146 Porsche Club members and Porsche customers
from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and
Taiwan as well as another 127 guests from around the
world, took part in this year’s Porsche Parade Southeast
Asia. An impressive convoy of 115 Porsche cars
travelled a total distance of more than 1,100 kilometres,
driving from Singapore to Kuantan, Malaysia and then
back to participate in the Singapore Island Drive.
One of the main highlights of the event was the
participation of Porsche’s rare and iconic classic
cars. The Porsche 356 Speedster from 1955 and a
356 Coupè from 1963 were specially flown in from
the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. With
another three privately-owned Porsche 356, they
formed the classic car convoy for the Parade.
The Porsche Parade Southeast Asia started on 21
September 2011with Porsche Club Singapore and
customers beginning the first leg of the drive from
Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the
Parade visited Porsche Centre Bukit Bintang. To
coincide with this momentous occasion, Sime Darby
Auto Performance, the official Porsche Importer in
Malaysia, also launched the Panamera S Hybrid,
Panamera Turbo S, 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and Boxster
Spyder. The Porsche Parade continued to Kuantan with
additional Porsche Club Malaysia members joining,
where the Porsche Club members stayed overnight
before continuing the drive back to Singapore on the
next day which included a stop-over at Mersing.
The Porsche Parade arrived in Singapore at the
end of day 2 of the Porsche Parade Southeast

Asia. Participants spent the next day unwinding and
exploring the island, and attended the Porsche SC
Global Carrera Cup Asia –Singapore 2011 races,
cheering along with fellow Porsche enthusiasts at the
dedicated Porsche grandstand by night.
On Day 4, Porsche Parade Southeast Asia continued
with the Porsche Singapore Island Drive. The entire
convoy gathered at the starting point, Dempsey Hill,
for breakfast and photo-taking before the flag-off to
visit a few significant landmarks in Singapore: Old
Upper Thomson Road, Porsche Centre Singapore
at Leng Kee Road, and a drive through the world-
renowned Orchard Road, Singapore’s main shopping
belt. The drive along the Old Upper Thomson Road
was particularly meaningful as it was the original
stretch of road that was used as the Singapore
Grand Prix venue back in the 60s to 70s. The
Singapore Island Drive ended with a delectable
farewell lunch at Hotel Fort Canning, Gattopardo.
The memorable Porsche Parade has made the close
relationships within the big Porsche family even more
evident and was integral to the forging of numerous
new ties.
