Model Overview Modell-Überblick Aperçu de la gamme

The Porsche 2005 Model Range Porsche is entering the new model year with four outstanding new cars - the 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S as well as the Boxster and Boxster S. The Coupé and Cabriolet versions of the 911 Turbo S were already presented in May 2004. The 996 model series version of the 911 Carrera 4 Coupé and Cabriolet are no longer in the range. The new Porsche 911 Carrera representing the 997 model series is entering the market with even wider track, a slender waist and a new face. Its six-cylinder horizontally-opposed power unit is largely identical to the proven 3.6-litre already featured in the former model. By fine-tuning the cylinder charge cycle, Porsche's engineers have increased maximum output by 4 kW (5 bhp) to 239 kW (325 bhp) at 6800 rpm. Maximum torque of 370 Newton-metres (273 lb-ft) comes as before at 4250 rpm. Porsche 911 Carrera The Porsche 911 Carrera S features a new 3.8-litre power unit developing 261 kW (355 bhp) at 6600 rpm. Maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres or 295 lb-ft, in turn, comes at 4600 rpm. Powered by this superior engine, the Carrera S accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 293 km/h or 182 mph. “Porsche Active Suspension Management” (PASM) and 19-inch wheels are standard for the first time. Porsche 911 Carrera S The second-generation Boxster comes in a new, dynamic outfit in terms of both looks and technical features. In its design it follows the typical process of evolution so characteristic of Porsche. The “face" of the car with its headlights in new design, the silhouette with new, even more powerful lines and larger wheels, as well as the rear end with its new, striking seams, look familiar, but are nevertheless clearer, firmer and more functional. Powered by a 2.7-litre six-cylinder, the new Boxster now develops maximum output of 176 kW (240 bhp), accelerating to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 256 km/h or 159 mph. more Porsche Boxster The Porsche Boxster S is entering its second generation with a significant increase in power: Maximum output of the 3.2-litre six-cylinder in the Boxster S is up from 191 kW (260 bhp) to 206 kW (280 bhp). Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in 5.5 seconds, top speed is 268 km/h or 166 mph. Thanks to its modified suspension, the Boxster S conveys this extra power to the road even more effectively than before. A highlight in the roadster segment is “Porsche Active Suspension Management” (PASM) available as an option. more . Porsche Boxster S Being built in a production run of 1,500 units, the Carrera GT comes with more than 70 innovations within its carbon-fibre body, all of which Porsche has in the meantime registered for a patent. This includes the ceramic clutch conveying maximum torque of 590 Newton-metres or 420 lb-ft to the rear axle. Maximum engine output is 450 kW or 612 bhp, providing top speed of 330 km/h or 205 mph. Porsche Carrera GT The GT2 is the fastest of all 911s: Top speed is 319 km/h or 198 mph, with acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h in four seconds flat. And the GT2 is also the most powerful 911, with maximum output of the biturbo power unit of 355 kW or 483 bhp at 5700 rpm. This supreme performance of the 911 GT2 is also borne out by the power-to-weight ratio of 4.06 kilos per kW. Porsche 911 GT2 The 911 Turbo has a top speed of 305 km/h or 189 mph and accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. Its 3.6-litre power unit also sets new standards, the six cylinders boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers with intercoolers developing maximum output of 309 kW (420 bhp) at 6000 rpm. Maximum torque of no less than 560 Newtonmetres or 413 lb-ft is available from just 2700 rpm. The 911 Turbo expresses its outstanding position not only through excellent engine and performance data, but also through a very wide range of standard features. Porsche 911 Turbo Porsche is back with a 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Compared with the 300 bhp former model built from 1987 - 1989, the Turbo Cabriolet now develops maximum output of 420 bhp (309 kW) and has exactly the same top speed as its coupe counterpart of 305 km/h or 198 mph. Acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h is in 4.3 seconds, only 1/10th of a second “slower" than the coupe, A further significant improvement over the former model code-named 930 within the Company is the roof mechanism with its particular ease of operation, the roof not only opening and closing fully automatically at a standstill, but also at a road speed of up to 50 km/h. Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Entering the new model year, Porsche is enlarging the range through the addition of the 911 Turbo S. Available in both Coupé and Cabriolet guise, the new model develops maximum output of 331 kW (450 bhp) at 5700 rpm, that is 30 bhp more than the 911 Turbo. Larger turbochargers and a further optimised intercooler, as well as upgraded engine electronics, give the 911 Turbo S maximum torque of 620 Newton-metres (457 lb-ft) between 3500 and 4500 rpm. The wide range of standard features includes high-tech amenities such as “Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes” (PCCB). more Porsche 911 Turbo S More power and more torque on the same engine size and with the same fuel economy - this is the development formula for the second-generation 911 GT3. Benefitting from consistent reduction of moving masses in the six-cylinder engine and Porsche VarioCam infinite camshaft adjustment, the 911 GT3 develops a significant 15 kW or 21 bhp more than ist predecessor: Maximum output is up from 265 kW or 360 bhp at 7200 rpm to 280 kW or 381 bhp at 7400 rpm. Maximum torque, in turn, is now 385 Nm (284 lb-ft) versus the former 370 Nm (273 lb-ft). Porsche 911 GT3 Porsche naturally offers a 911 Carrera Cabriolet based on the 996 model series. Displacing 3.6 litres, the flat-six power unit develops maximum output of 235 kW (320 bhp) at 6800 rpm, enabling the Cabriolet with six-speed manual gearbox to accelerate to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Maximum torque is 370 Newton-metres or 273 lb-ft at 4250 rpm. Roof operation is electrohydraulic, allowing the driver to open or close the roof fully automatically at the touch of a button within just 20 seconds either at a standstill or while driving at a speed of up to 50 km/h or 31 mph. Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet The 911 Carrera 4S is very similar to the 911 Turbo in appearance. In comparison with the 996-series Carrera models, the rear part of the body is 60 millimetres wider than on the Carrera models, and the wheel housings contain 18-inch alloy wheels in Turbo styling for ample traction. The distinguishing features between this model and the Turbo mainly become obvious at the rear: A Carrera spoiler is used instead of the extending, divided wing, and has a red light strip forming a visual link between the two rear lights. The 911 suspension of the Carrera 4S lowered by 10 millimetres, is based on the 911 Turbo - including the brake system, the power train mountings and a frontaxle pivot bearing that has been optimised for brake ventilation. The 911 Carrera 4S has a 235 kW (320 bhp) 3.6-litre flat-twin engine and four-wheel drive as standard. Porsche 911 Carrera 4S The 3.6-litre power unit developing maximum output of 235 kW or 320 bhp and the fourwheel drive system in this model are the same as on the Carrera 4S coupe. Modifications of the body versus the coupe are limited to specific reinforcements in the sidesill area, with additional joint plates and shaft reinforcements behind the B-pillar. These modifications of the bodyshell incidentally also featured on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet help to make the body one of the stiffest of all open-air 911 body structures. Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet True to faith, Porsche has revived the Targa tradition and thus offers the 996 model series 911 with a large, retractable glass roof panel. At the push of a button, the 911 Targa’s glass roof can be slid backwards by up to half a metre, for a maximum roof opening area of 0.45 square metres. Further Targa highlights include the hinged rear window supported on two gas springs. The rear window can be unlocked either by a rocker switch in the sill next to the driver’s seat or by using the remote control. The Targa boasts Porsche's 235 kW (320 bhp) 3.6-litre flat-six engine; its top speed is 285 km/h or 177 mph. Porsche 911 Targa The Cayenne is driven by a 184 kW (250 bhp) six-cylinder power unit providing top speed of 214 mph or 133 mph. As with the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo, engine power and torque (in this case 314 Newton-metres or 232 lb-ft) is transmitted to all four wheels. Featured as standard, “Porsche Traction Management” (PTM) delivers 62 per cent of the engine’s power to the front and 38 per cent to the rear wheels in the basic mode. And like the Cayenne S, the six-cylinder model comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox - with six-speed Tiptronic S available as an option, From outside the only real differences between the Cayenne and the Cayenne S are the model designation on the tailgate and the brake callipers painted black. Porsche Cayenne With its V8 normal aspiration power unit displacing 4.5 litres and developing maximum output of 250 kW (340 bhp) at 6000 rpm makes the Cayenne S the top performer in the sports utility range. Fitted as standard with Porsche’s six-speed manual gearbox, the Cayenne S accelerates from 0 - 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of 242 km/h or 150 mph. And it offers the same kind of supreme performance also off the beaten track, four-wheeldrive “Porsche Traction Management” (PTM) four-wheel drive ensuring excellent performance wherever you go. Benefitting from intelligent suspension technology based inter alia on a new axle concept with long spring travel for offroad driving conditions, the Cayenne S has no problems even on relatively steep gradients, ramps and jagged crests in offroad terrain. Porsche Cayenne S The Cayenne Turbo is a sports utility vehicle in the genuine sense of the word with absolutely outstanding power and performance, supreme comfort and a wide range of innovations in technology both for fast motoring on the road and for the toughest offroad requirements. Displacing 4.5 litres, the V8 power unit complete with intercooler develops a staggering 331 kW or 450 bhp at 6000 rpm. Maximum torque of 620 Newtonmetres or 457 lb-ft is maintained consistently between 2250 and 4750 rpm, top speed is 266 km/h or 165 mph. Equipped as standard with Porsche's six-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Cayenne Turbo accelerates from 0 - 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. And it almost goes without saying, finally, that the Cayenne Turbo has outstanding hill-climbing qualities also in rough terrain, air suspension featured as standard giving the Cayenne Turbo 273 millimetres or 10.75" ground clearance in the special offroad mode and the ability to cross rivers and other bodies of water down to a depth of 555 millimetres or 21.85".
