Like Carrera 4S coupe, 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet also has the latest generation of the legendary flat-six engine now with bi-turbo charging. The nominal outputs is 370 hp (272 kW) – again, 20 hp more power than previously.
The mode switch on the steering wheel derived from the 918 Spyder offers additional driving options. It is part of the Sport Chrono package and allows the driver to choose between four driving modes with alternative configurations for a large number of systems.
The broad light bar between the rear lights visually identifies the all-wheel version of the new 911. It underlines the typical format of the Carrera 4, with its rear flanks that continue to arch outwards by a total of 44 millimetres more than in the rear-wheel drive versions.

Like the rear-wheel drive versions, 911 Carrera 4S has the latest generation of the legendary flat-six engine now with bi-turbo charging.The nominal outputs reach 420 hp (309 kW) – 20 hp more power than previously. Driving performances benefit from this accordingly: a Carrera 4S in a mere 3.8 (previously 4.1)　with PDK and Sportchrono package. Top speed: 305 km/h.

However, progress has also continued in the technology of all-wheel drive. It now matches that in the 911 Turbo, has electro-hydraulic control and reacts faster and more sensitively to the current driving situation. This means even better harmony between all-wheel drive and the standard PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) chassis. Additional dynamic potential is unleashed by the active rear-wheel steering, which now, in addition to the 911 Turbo and the 911 GT3, is also available as an option for Carrera 4S. As a result, the Carrera 4S is even more agile.

With the Panamera S E-Hybrid, Porsche is launching the world’s first plug-in hybrid model on the luxury class market in 2013. The 416 hp model is not only debuting with an electric driving range of up to 36 kilometres. Its NEDC fuel consumption of just 3.1 litres per 100 km, which equates to CO2 emissions of just 71 g/km, is now on the same level as a compact car. Porsche hybrid is setting the benchmark. Its drive technology, packaging and battery software are some aspects of Porsche know-how that have enabled the remarkable range of efficiency and sportiness in the Panamera S E-Hybrid.

The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is the first vehicle in the premium SUV market segment with plug-in hybrid drive. It makes the company the only manufacturer in the world to offer three vehicles with this drive system technology. Providing typical Porsche performance, they combine top efficiency with zero local emissions. In the year 1900, Ferdinand Porsche invented the hybrid principle and was the first to build one. The Lohner Porsche known as “Mixte” was the world’s first production hybrid car. After over 110 years, a pioneering Porsche achievement is being repeated. Cayenne S E-Hybrid is new bench mark of hybrid car.

911 GT3 RS once again shifts the boundary between sports car and race car. With a lap time of under seven minutes and 20 seconds on the North Loop of the Nürburgring, it sets a new standard and even beats the Carrera GT super sports car's lap time of 2003. The 911 GT3 RS is traditionally the highest street-legal performance stage of the 911 with a naturally aspirated engine. Ever since 2003, and now in its fifth generation, this car has been offering racing drivers high-carat motorsport technology for circuit racetrack use in a sports car that is still practical for everyday use. An overview of the drive system: A four-litre six-cylinder engine power-boosted to 500 hp (368 kW) and a specially tuned Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) for gear shifts without any interruption in tractive power.

 

With Cayman GT4, Porsche is once again demonstrating its competence in building exceptional sports cars in every vehicle class. GT sports cars from Porsche embody the most passionate connection between everyday driving and the circuit racetrack, and so they embody the sporty core of the brand. The Cayman GT4 also makes a clear statement that Porsche will continue to promote radical two-door sports cars in the future – sports cars that are developed at the motorsport department in Weissach.
Although the engine, chassis, brakes and aerodynamic design of the Cayman GT4 are configured for maximum driving dynamics, the Cayman GT4 still retains the versatility that is typical of the two-seat Porsche coupes. It is powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six engine with 385 hp (283 kW), which was derived from the 911 Carrera S engine. Its power is transferred by a manual transmission with six gears.

The new Macan is the sportscar of the compact SUV segment. A Porsche through and through, the Macan is setting benchmarks in terms of driving dynamics and enjoyment – both on paved streets and off-road terrain. The Macan brings the sporty seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and one of the finest drive systems in the world – Porsche Traction Management (PTM) in con- junction with a sporty mix of tyres, fitted as standard. The sporty DNA of the Macan, as with all Porsche vehicles, is immediately recognisable in the design. Many details are reminiscent of the iconic 911 sportscar and the technological benchmark 918 model, and the Sports Utility Vehicle is unrivalled in its flat and broad pro- file on the road. The wraparound bonnet and gently sloping roof line accentuate the over- all impression of sporty elegance and powerful dynamics.

Together with the 911 GT3, the next generation of the racing version of the high performance sports car is being launched. The new version of the 911 GT3 Cup is thus the first race car based on the seventh generation of the iconic sports car from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. The new engine is a 3.8-liter six-cylinder, the force is transferred by a six-speed constant- mesh gearbox independently developed by Porsche Motorsport. Thanks to the extremely rigid lightweight body in aluminum-steel composite, the latest racing car for the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup only weighs 1,175 kilograms. More than 2,400 units of the 911 GT3 Cup have been produced since 1998, making it the best-selling racing car in the world.
