<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Body shell color-coded by material. The light blue sections are all aluminum, making up 44 percent of the total. Green indicates deep-drawn steel, which is easy to form, accounting for only 14 percent.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Purple denotes cast aluminum parts. This means that even areas requiring high strength, such as suspension mounting points, are largely made of aluminum.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The roof has a modular structure. The sliding roof is now an outer slide type for the first time, allowing for a large opening.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Viewed from the interior, the floor is almost entirely aluminum. The red sections are boron steel of very high hardness, securely enclosing the cabin.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Various joining methods are used, including clinching, self-tapping screws, and punching. Sealing is applied where aluminum and steel meet to prevent galvanic corrosion.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Inside the rear spoiler unit. The die-cast aluminum mount is lightweight and also serves as a structural component of the body. This also contributes to weight reduction.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The rear spoiler, now at the rear of the vehicle and widened from 898mm to 1,137mm, also features parts reduced in weight by the gram. Ingenious solutions include giving a single part multiple functions.

<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The horizontally opposed 6-cylinder direct-injection engine is an improved version of the late 997 model. It not only increases power and improves fuel efficiency but also achieves a total weight reduction of 10kg, including auxiliary components.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The cooling system alone achieves a weight reduction of 3.6kg. Precise temperature management also balances high performance with improved fuel efficiency.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The noteworthy 7-speed manual gearbox. Its internal hardware shares many components with the PDK. The shift feel is crisper than the current model, and the possibility of shift errors seems low.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The PDK, which now accounts for 85 percent of the entire 911 series, has also been comprehensively revised. It features integrated start-stop and coasting functions, and faster shift speeds.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The 7-speed PDK has also been significantly improved internally. The PTV Plus incorporates an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, continuously varying the drive force between the left and right wheels to balance cornering agility and stability.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The wet multi-plate clutch of the PDK. It is equipped with two clutch sets, each responsible for odd and even gears.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Sports exhaust for the Carrera S. Due to the rear-engine layout, it effectively utilizes the limited space for routing.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Under high load, a valve inside the muffler opens, altering the exhaust path and producing a more dynamic sound.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The intake system is also a crucial element for sound tuning. It is calibrated to produce a satisfying sound that intensifies with accelerator pedal input.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The slits on the top of the air filter box are designed for acoustic effect.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The front suspension features an increased track width, and components like the hub carrier and struts are made of aluminum for thorough weight reduction.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The rear suspension also uses many aluminum parts. Along with the power increase, efforts were made to enhance rigidity.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Electric power steering is adopted for the first time in a 911.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Note the use of a cogged belt instead of gears. This is also for miniaturization, weight reduction, and friction reduction.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> Cars equipped with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake) feature front brake rotors with a 400mm diameter.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> To improve aerodynamic performance, the new 911 Carrera actively streamlines not only the body surface but also the underbody. The floor is nearly flat from front to rear.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The front suspension enhances anti-dive characteristics and also considers aerodynamics.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) continues to be fitted. PDCC with variable stabilizers is now also available.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> While the suspension format remains the same, the internal components have been completely revised. Not only has performance been improved, but significant effort has gone into weight reduction, achieving a 5.5kg decrease in this area alone.

<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The notion that a rear-engine layout leads to tricky behavior at the limit is now a thing of the past. From the passenger seat, the impression was that controllability has been further enhanced.
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong>
<strong>Porsche 911 Carrera Technical Workshop Held</strong> The model test-driven as a passenger was a 911 Carrera S with PDK. It was a fully equipped specification, including PDCC (adaptive anti-roll stabilization system) and PCCB (carbon-ceramic brakes).
