Introducing the new 911
I am pleased to let you know that the new 911 Carrera and Carrera S models have been officially announced worldwide today.
Key elements of the 911 have not been changed - the flat-six engine, the distinctive layout with the engine at the rear and the unique aerodynamic shape. However, the engineers have poured countless hours into developing an all-new bodyshell, featuring a roofline that is lower, a longer wheelbase and a wider front track to further improve the dynamic character of the car. The look and feel of the interior takes clear design cues from the Carrera GT while new materials and technology combine to significantly reduce weight and consequently CO2 emissions, improving both performance and fuel consumption.
The engine capacity in the new 911 Carrera is reduced to 3.4 litres, yet delivers more power, 350 hp and 0 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, while the 3.8 litre engine in the new 911 Carrera S produces 400 hp and a 0 to 62 mph time of only 4.3 seconds.
Both models deliver impressive fuel consumption "" 34.4 mpg* for the 911 Carrera on a combined cycle and 32.4 mpg* for the 911 Carrera S. Emissions figures are equally impressive - 194 g/km for the 911 Carrera and 205 g/km for the Carrera S.
The new two wheel drive 911 Carrera Coupé models will be on sale from 17 December 2011 and pricing is as follows:
911 Carrera £71,449.00 (inc. VAT at 20%)
911 Carrera S £81,242.00 (inc. VAT at 20%)
An order for either of these models can be made by placing a £3,000 deposit with our Porsche Centre. Included in the price is a Porsche Driving Experience at the Porsche Driving Experience Centre Silverstone and a three year warranty.

Chassis and technology
Increased length (56mm), wider front track (52mm), longer wheel base (100mm) and larger wheels as standard all provide a more dynamic driving experience. Now standard on the Carrera S, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) adds to the agile nature of the car, and available as an option for the first time is Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) "" an active chassis system which further enhances the sporting nature of the new 911.
Interior
Look and feel of the interior adopts design cues from the Carrera GT with a raised centre console and luxurious materials. Redesigned seats combine greater comfort with more support and now feature 4-way electric adjustment. A new addition to the instrument cluster is a high resolution 4.6-inch full VGA TFT colour display giving key information to the driver such as navigation instructions.
Reduced weight
All-new bodyshell of aluminium-steel composite and other lightweight materials result in a significantly lighter car (up to 45kg lighter vs. the previous model). These elements contribute to an improved power to weight ratio as well as significant advancements in performance and efficiency.
