2009 Porsche Carrera Coupe Review The Porsche 911 remains the iconic symbol of a sports car. For 2009, the 911 Carrera's have revised styling, increased engine power and now offer an optional seven-speed dual clutch gearbox (PDK). According to Porsche, the fastest 911 Carrera trims are the S and 4S Coupes when equipped with PDK can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. The trims with the highest top speed are the 911 Carrera S Coupe and Cabriolet, which max out at 188 mph when mated to a six-speed manual transmission. With a new range of direct-injection petrol engines and clever seven-speed dual-clutch gearboxes, the 911 has overnight become one of the world?s cleanest high-performance cars. Equip the basic Carrera with the new PDK gearbox and it will return 29mpg on the combined cycle and emit just 225g/km of CO2. Those incredible figures makes it massively greener than any rival ? the new 911 is even cleaner than a mainstream coupe like Audi?s TT V6. The EPA reports the 911 Carrera's city/highway fuel economy ranges from 18/25 mpg to 19/27 mpg, depending on trim and transmission. Trim Levels and Options The Porsche 911 comes as either a coupe or a cabriolet in either a rear-wheel drive (C2) or an all-wheel drive (C4) configuration and each 911 comes as either a Carrera or the performance variant Carrera S. The 911 Carrera C2 and C4's are powered by a 345-hp 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine and the 911 Carrera C2S and C4S's are powered by a 385-hp 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. The 911 Turbo models come with a 480-hp twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Each 911 engine is either mated to a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic Tiptronic S transmission. The Targa, with its innovative glass-paneled roof has the same powertrains as the Carrera C4 and C4S models The track derived GT3 is powered by a 415-hp 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine and comes exclusively as a rear-wheel drive coupe with a six-speed manual transmission. The 911 Carrera base-trim, 4, and Targa 4 feature a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 345-horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 288 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Meanwhile, the more powerful 911 Carrera S, 4S, and Targa 4S are equipped with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 385-horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 310 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. For all models, drivers may choose a six-speed manual transmission or the new Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) -- which features seven-gears, manual gearshift, and an automatic mode. Summary Refreshed for 2009, the Porsche 911 Carrera takes its world-renown design and performance capabilities to a whole new level, which leaves critics with little to complain about. The 911 Carrera is the quintessential sports car -- balancing power and handling along with comfort and usability. It sets the bar for sports performance at such a high level that few competitors dare approach. For 2009, the 911 Carrera features an all-new engine, more power, better gas mileage, and replaces its Tiptronic S transmission with an entirely new double-clutch gearbox. Needless to say, test drivers are impressed. As before, the bread-and-butter range of 911s consists of two cars: the Carrera and Carrera S. The Carrera is still a 3.6, the S a 3.8 (although the actual capacities are slightly different this time), but they?ve been comprehensively re-engineered and are both emboldened with direct injection. Think muscle mixed with miserliness. The more efficient combustion and higher compression ratios push power from 320bhp to 340bhp on the Carrera and from 350bhp to 375bhp on the S. And the base car?s torque output climbs to 287lb ft while its big brother now churns out 310lb ft of twist action.
