2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Performance 
Exceptional Performance, Improved Efficiency
The completely new three liter, twin-turbocharged engine generation makes driving the 2017 911 Carrera models an even more pleasurable and engaging experience. Operating with up to 13.1 psi (0.9 bar) of boost pressure, the 911 Carrera develops 370 horsepower, while the powerplant in 911 Carrera S now delivers 420 horsepower using up to 16 psi (1.1 bar) of boost pressure. This represents a 20 horsepower improvement over the respective predecessors. The 50 horsepower increase of 911 Carrera S compared to the 911 Carrera comes from turbochargers with larger impellers, a model-specific exhaust system, and a different tune for the engine management system.
Porsche Stability Management with New “PSM Sport” Mode
The enhanced performance of the 911 Carrera extends to the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system. When equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the stability control system offers a new mode known as “PSM Sport” that is activated via the PSM button on the center console. Its functionality differs significantly from the normal “PSM On” mode. To inform the driver, a warning light in the instrument cluster lights up when PSM Sport mode is activated, and the yellow “PSM Off” symbol up when PSM is switched off.
Performance
The 911 Carrera Coupe with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono Package accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds (0.2 sec faster than the previous model). With the same equipment, the 911 Carrera S takes just 3.7 seconds (0.2 sec faster). New PSM Sport mode provides a significantly higher intervention threshold. When equipped with all performance-enhancing options, the 911 Carrera S is capable of lapping the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife in 7:30 minutes – a full 10 seconds faster than its similarly-equipped predecessor.
New Gear Ratios For The Manual Transmission, New Two-Disc Clutch
The standard seven-speed manual transmission has been adapted to suit the new engine’s powerband and characteristics. Longer ratios for gears three through seven reduce fuel consumption without affecting the car’s responsiveness. Furthermore, the mechanical design of the manual transmission was adapted to the higher torque of the new engines. A new two-disc clutch has been installed as well. It enables comfortable clutch engagement despite the high torque of the new turbocharged engines. This lets the driver extract the full performance, particularly on roads requiring frequent shifting, without strenuous clutch work.
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Appearance 
Active Aerodynamics: Less Air Drag For Better Efficiency
The active aerodynamic system adjusts the angle of attack of the rear spoiler according to the flap position, to assure finely balanced aerodynamic control at the front and rear axles in every situation. The variable spoiler performs another task with the introduction of turbocharged engines: by adjusting the angle of attack, the air stream is redirected so that more air enters the intake ports for intercooling. When outside temperatures are high, the spoiler can even be extended starting at 37 miles per hour to increase the throughput of intercooling air.
Sharper Design and Less Drag
The front fascia of the new 911 has a striking new form with a much stronger profile. This makes the front look wider and more modern. This effect is underscored by the narrowed front lights positioned above the cooling air intakes. These redesigned lights contain the park/positioning lights and the direction indicators. The newly designed Bi-Xenon™ headlights with integrated 4-point LED daytime running lights make the 911 instantly recognizable as a Porsche, even from a distance. The center part of the new front fascia features two horizontal vanes that underscore the width of the 911. In the top part of the front fascia, design elements that form the lines of the V-shaped profile stand out. The airblades and the active cooling air vanes optimize utilization of cooling air while also improving aerodynamics. The three-dimensional form of the front spoiler lip stands for even sportier aerodynamics. As before, vehicles equipped with the optional PASM Sport Suspension are fitted with a larger front spoiler lip, which improves downforce in conjunction with a rear-spoiler that operates with adjustable angles of attack.
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Comfort 
Infotainment
The new Porsche Communication Management system with online navigation and a state-of-the-art touchscreen offers new connectivity and is as easy to operate as a smartphone. It includes traffic information in real time, Google Earth and Google Street View. It is very easy to network with a smartphone. Numerous apps are available.
New Porsche Communication Management with Online Navigation
A standard feature on the new 2017 911 Carrera models is the newly developed Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, including an online navigation module. The PCM can be operated with multi-touch gestures on the seven inch display, similar to a smartphone. Handwritten user inputs are recognized. Mobile phones and smartphones can now also be connected via Wi-Fi. Also new is the option of connecting an iPhone® to the PCM to utilize Apple CarPlay™.Real-time traffic information is available for significantly improved navigation. It gives the driver a quick overview of the traffic situation and guarantees dynamic adaptation of the route. Google™ Earth and Google™ StreetView are also being integrated for the first time to offer better orientation. Porsche Car Connect and the Connect Plus module can be used to remotely control vehicle functions, transferring destinations to the PCM for navigation and streaming music using third-party service providers via the PCM.
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Safety 
New Car Limited Warranty & Porsche 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Program for 4-Years / 50,000 Miles (whichever occurs first)
Multi-Collision Brake Reduces Severity of Accidents
The 2017 911 Carrera is the first 2-door Porsche sports car to come standard with a multi-collision brake system. Studies have shown that in nearly a quarter of all rear-impact collisions, the first collision is followed immediately by a second, such as with the car driving ahead or with other obstacles. This is precisely where the multi-collision brake system comes in. It brakes the vehicle automatically after the airbag control unit detects a collision of a specific intensity. Then the system autonomously initiates braking at a maximum deceleration rate of 0.6 g to reduce impact energy as much as possible. The assistance system generally applies the brakes until a residual vehicle speed of 6 miles per hour is reached. The driver can override the system at any time by braking even harder or by accelerating.
Lane Change Assist Improves Safety
For the new 911 Carrera, Porsche is expanding its lineup of optional assistance systems by adding the lane change assistant, which enhances safety on the highway. The system uses radar sensors to monitor the blind spots as well as the area to the sides and the rear of the vehicle. Operational over a speed range from approximately 19 miles per hour to 155 miles per hour, the assistant informs the driver of any vehicles in these areas. If the system detects another vehicle in the adjacent lane, it informs the driver of this with a visible signal in the mirror attachment point finisher. The system can be activated or deactivated via the onboard computer in the instrument cluster.
