Technical Specifications

Its legendary air-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine produces 282 horsepower. A manual transmission with six speeds helps the 911 Carrera achieve a zero-to-sixty time of just 4.9 seconds. The Carrera is also available with the Porsche Tiptronic-S, a revolutionary dual-mode transmission system that allows the convenience of an automatic or the active participation of clutch less shifting. A cast-aluminum suspension translates weight savings into improved handling, while an aluminum subframe uses rubber bushings to isolate the suspension from the body for a quieter ride.

The Carrera is a responsible sports car. Its active safety features include ABS-5, the most advanced braking system of its kind. And, as with every Porsche, the passive safety systems include standard dual airbags. Of course, within the Carrera, you'll discover something else that's reassuring: the soul of a purebred sports car.
