For 2009, Porsche is unleashing German fury on the road with new upgrades for 4 of its Porsche 911 Carrera models: the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, and Carrera 4S. Going semi-green for 2009, the Carrera’s 3.6L and 3.8L engines receive new direct-inject engines, boosting fuel economy by about 15% and net power by another 20. Although still available in the AWD Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S, Porsche’s 5-sp Tiptronic automatic transmission will be replaced in the Carrera and Carrera S models with Porsche’s new 7-sp Porsche Doppel Kupplung [PDK] dual-clutch sequential-manual transmission - the one of racing-legends told. The much-anticipated Pretty Damn Kwik [we're sorry, it was a softball lobbed right down the middle, we had to swing] transmission is expected to out-perform the Tiptronic S thanks to 2 more forward ratios, shaving roughly 0.8 seconds off the Carrera’s 0-60 mph acceleration time.
An optional Sport Chrono Package [when used in conjunction with the PDK] provides the driver with three different handling levels - Normal, Sport, and Sportplus. When Sportplus is engaged, “Launch Control” is initiated, providing dually for 0.2 second faster 0-60mph acceleration as well as a cheaper alternative to the old lady’s Botox [see: "G-Force"].
