Dear Porsche Enthusiast, For many, the 911 triggers emotions – emotions that last a lifetime – and we’re talking 45 years now. And the new 911 is no exception to this rule, above all because it has the inner strength to evolve with each successive generation. We would like to introduce you to the new 911: besides the reworked classic design, it’s the inner strength that comes from the pioneering technology it hides – a new generation of engines with direct fuel injection (DFI) and the new optional double clutch transmission Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) that makes it possible to change gears without interrupting power supply, lower fuel consumption and emissions. How? You can find out in the technology special. Another article in this edition will show you how the new 911 can be made into a unique sports car with Porsche Exclusive and Tequipment – and still stay 100 per cent Porsche. Finally, if you’re looking for extraordinary motorsport events in 2008, we recommend you to take a look at the review of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Rounds 5 to 8 and ultimately the special on the 2008 FORMULA 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix. Last but not least, we will inform you of the latest Porsche news and happenings in Indonesia. We hope you enjoy reading this issue. Herbert Kwee Executive Chairman
The new 911 Carrera models How do you combine efficiency and dynamism? With inner strength for instance. The new 911. Inner strength in the new 911 comes about first and foremost through state-of-the-art technology. For example, with two completely new engines with direct fuel injection (DFI), the new, optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, the intelligent all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM), and the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM). 1. The engines. Whether it’s the coupé, cabriolet or Targa – all ten new 911 models have a new generation of engines with direct fuel injection (DFI). This makes sure the fuel is directly injected and measured by the millisecond. Technically, that means optimum carburetion and combustion. For the driver, that means a clear increase in performance and torque, and a clear decrease in fuel consumption and emissions. Depending on the model, CO 2 emissions can be reduced by up to 15 %. The 3.6 litre 6-cylinder horizontally-opposed engine in the rear of the new 911 now provides 254 kW (345 bhp) at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 390 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The figures for the S versions are even more convincing: the 3.8 litre engine develops 283 kW (385 bhp) at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 420 Nm at 4,400 rpm. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) Now with touch screen. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) Power, intelligently distributed. Direct fuel injection (DFI) More power with less fuel consumption. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual clutch transmission Two clutches, double the fun.
