New Porsche Exclusive Programme
More power for the 911 Carrera S and new personalisation products
Stuttgart. For its exceptionally performance-oriented customers,
Porsche Exclusive now offers a new power enhancement kit developed for
the 911 Carrera S. It focuses specifically on the dynamic properties
of the sports car. It boosts the power of the 3.8-litre boxer engine
from 400 hp (294 kW) to 430 hp (316 kW), producing even better driving
performance. Thanks to this Powerkit, the 911 Carrera S Coupé only
needs 4.0 seconds to sprint from zero to 100 km/h with PDK in Sport
Plus mode. The kit also increases the top speed by four km/h: to 306
km/h with PDK and to 308 km/h with a seven-speed manual gearbox.
However, the enhanced power has not affected fuel economy: fuel
consumption values in the NEDC are unchanged despite a power increase
of over seven per cent.
More power without higher fuel consumption is made possible by
carefully tuned modifications and adaptations to the electronic engine
management. The core elements of the Powerkit are special cylinder
heads with different camshafts and an entirely new variable resonance
intake system design with six air flaps and a resonance flap. An
additional centre radiator keeps the higher specific power from
overloading the thermal management system of the six-cylinder engine.
Low exhaust back pressure is achieved by the sport exhaust system that
is equipped with two sets of twin tailpipes with independent styling;
this system is also included with the Powerkit. At the press of a
button, the exhaust system is dethrottled, the two exhaust lines are
merged and they generate a powerful engine sound. The Powerkit also
includes the Sport Chrono package with dynamic engine mounts for even
sportier driving properties. A visual trademark of the Powerkit is the
car's modified engine compartment styling with titanium coloured
engine cover and carbon inlays.
Porsche Exclusive also offers aerodynamically tuned exterior
components that offer customisation over various expansion levels. The
basic component is the front apron that extends low and has powerful
air intakes from the Sport Design package. This package also includes
a fixed rear spoiler in legendary "ducktail" form. The top
upgrade is the Aerokit Cup with an additional fixed rear wing over the
rear spoiler and a special front spoiler lip with additional air
intakes. Other new Porsche Exclusive products for the 911 Carrera
include tinted privacy glass for the side and rear windows and the
Exterior package with various components in body colour. Inside,
Porsche Exclusive also offers numerous upgrades such as interior
packages with decorative trim ranging from brushed aluminium to
carbon.
