Porsche is adding the new Carrera S to the 911 model lineup. With its 480 PS, 3.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine and enhanced standard equipment, the model slots in between the 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera GTS. With enhanced performance and driving dynamics, it noticeably surpasses the predecessor model. A significant power upgrade and additional equipment options offer significant added value compared to the 911 Carrera.

 

Porsche has significantly upgraded the standard equipment in the Carrera S, which includes the staggered tyre fitment with 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels, a sports exhaust system with tailpipes in silver, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) – which is not available in the Carrera. The new brake system provides a significant upgrade in terms of driving dynamics. The system, familiar from the 911 Carrera GTS and supplied as standard with red brake callipers and discs measuring 408 millimetres at the front and 380 mm on the rear, ensures outstanding rates of deceleration. 

 

The exacting standards of quality and exclusivity in the Carrera S are equally evident inside the car. It comes with a leather package in Black as standard. Seats, headrests, dashboard, door panels and the optional rear seat system in the Coupé are trimmed with smooth-finish leather. As with the other Carrera models, the folding rear seats are available at no additional charge as an alternative to the standard two-seater layout. The Cabriolet is equipped with a rear seat system.

An option with even more extensive use of leather is also available, covering large areas of the interior – including the glove box lid, the side panels and the seat base. On request, Porsche adds contrast stitching in Crayon. Throughout, the Carrera S benefits from the upgraded standard equipment found in the entire model series. This includes elements such as Matrix LED headlights and a wireless smartphone charger. Options include a lift system for the front axle, the innovative HD-Matrix LED headlights and the Sport Chrono package including the Porsche Track Precision app, which is ideal for track days.
