A sports car benchmark for 30 years
The Porsche 911 created a sensation when it was frst shown atthe Frankfurt Auto Show in September, 1963. In the intervening thirty years, the body shape drawn by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche has become a classic, instantly recognizable throughout the world as a timeless example of automobile engineering and styling. More than 350,000 enthusiastic buyers have chosen the Porsche 911. The 911 in all its forms has made its mark in the public eye, on roads and on race tracks as the quintessential Porsche
Three decades of technology leadership
That a styling concept can remain accepted by the public for more than thirty years is almost unthinkable in the automotive world, where five-year product cycles are the norm and many car designs age noticeably in only a year or two. Through continuous intensive development, Porsche has been able to keep the landmark design of the 911 as exciting as when it was first drawn.
But after thirty years, even a versatile concept such as the 911 reaches the edges of its development envelope. Lean production methods are becoming essential today, and new governmental regulations become more difficult to meet with existing designs. Thus Porsche has taken the inevitable step and developed an all-new successor to the venerable 911: the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera. The next-generation Porsche combines the best of the old model with fresh styling and the latest advances in automotive engineering.
Development goals
The styling and engineering teams had a number of goals to meet in designing the new 911:
- evolution of the classic 91 1 concept while maintaining its character and pleasurable driving qualities
- outstanding handling and agility
- long-distance cruising without occupant fatigue
- sports car performance
- optimized fuel economy
- minima weight increase
- classic Porsche sound despite noise reduction
- highest levels of active and passive safety
- improved price-performance relationship outstanding environmental compatibility
OVERALL CONCEPT
Proven Porsche sports car layout
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera retains the proven Porsche layout, with its rear-mounted horizontally-opposed air-cooled engine and 2+2 seating, and is available as a Coupe or Cabriolet. The 1995 911 Carrera is wider and has greater front and rear track than its 1994 counterpart. Curb weight is only 33 lbs. greater for the manual version, and 23 lbs. greater for the Tiptronic.
Increased body stiffness without added weight
The overall design of the 1995 Porsche 911 remains the same: a fully galvanized steel unit body incorporating an integral box-section frame, with bolted-on front fenders. Compared to its already remarkably rigid predecessor, torsional stiffness has been increased an additional 20 percent without added weight (the weight of the basic chassis is unchanged).
Doors have been extensively reworked, with altered interior releases and restyled exterior handles. Side impact beams, which already meet 1997 standards, are made of steel with a yield strength of 61,000 psi, 56% higher than the previous Porsche 911.
PERFORMANCE
Higher performance for 1995
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera equals or exceeds its predecessor in all performance aspects. Acceleration to 60 mph for the manual transmission 911 Carrera is quicker, and top track speed is 6 mph higher for both manual and Tiptronic-equipped cars. Performance of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet matches that of the Coupe
The new rear suspension design and improved front: suspension provide better cornering performance. Depending on the pavement, the 1995 Carrera will exceed 1.0 g of lateral acceleration.
New brakes
Cross-driled front and rear brake discs, and larger front discs and pads, ensure that for 1995, the industry-leading braking performance of the Porsche 911 Carrera is improved yet again.
Performance overview

EXTERIOR STYLING
New shape retains 911 lines
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera incorporates a complete exterior reshaping. Lines are more flowing and rounded, yet the design remains immediately recognizable from any angle as Porsche's classic 2+2 sports car.
Exterior changes
New exterior features include:
- ellipsoid headlights integrated into the fender shape
- functional air outlets ahead of the front wheels
- redesigned center brake lights
- ergonomically designed door handles
- redesigned rubber window and door seals
- flush-mounted rear quarter windows and rear window
- wiper arms repositioned for more effective cleaning
- underbody sheathing for im proved aerodynamics
- Cabriolet top reshaped for smoother, more rounded appearance
A key appearance feature of the 911 has always been its front aspect, with characteristic backswept headlights marking the forward edge of its rounded fenders The 1995 911 Carrera caries that classic Porsche theme, with a flowing, more streamlined appearance, The headight combination of poly-ellisoid (PES) low beams and variable focus (VF) high beams provides higher light output than the previous arrangement. By actuating a lever inside the trunk, the light units swing out for easy bulb replacement without any tools.
Careful attention to cooling airflow resulted in downward-facing air vents ahead of the front wheels. Air flows in through the nose, through the engine oil cooler and air conditioning condenser, and exits ahead of the front wheels to act as an invisible spoiler. Most cars would return lower drag figures with all airinlets closed; the new 911 Carrera is one of the few cars that actually has lower aerodynamic drag with cooling airflow than without. The underside of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is enclosed by underbody panels which shroud the front and center of the underbody, suspension and engine. The underbody sheathing employs ground effectto reduce vehicle lift. The drag coeficient (cd) of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is 0.33.
Refined aerodynamics
At the rear, the 911 Carrera continues to carry Porsche's electrically-extendable rear spoiler, which provides added downforce for increased stability at high speeds as well as additional engine-cooling air. The rear spoiler of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is larger, and its rear lip has been reshaped At rest, the spoiler retracts to exhibit the flowing lines of Porsche's to classic sports car shape to best advantage.
The windshield is trimmed with a new flush-mount rubber gasket. Side and rear glass is also mounted flush. These measures contribute to reduced interior noise as well as improved aerodynamics. Redesigned door seals improve noise levels and allow the doors to latch easily.
Windshield wiper geometry has also been modified. The wiper arm pivots are now located side-by-side, near the vehicle centerline, allowing the paths of the two wiper blades to overlap. The result is improved vision, with 80 percent of the swept area receiving double coverage.
CARRERA CABRIOLET
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is available in Coupe or Cabriolet form, and features a number of advances and improvements over its predecessors.
New rear-occupant restraint system
A newly designed rear seat occupant restraint system, based on a shoulder harness support mechanism between the rear seats, once again allows Porsche owners to enijoy the Cabriolet as a true 2+2 sports car. An innovative steel structure serves as the upper anchor point for the three-point rear safety belts. This component is cushioned with foam and covered in leather or leatherette matching the interior. The rear seatbacks have also been reshaped.
Exclusive optional automatic wind blocker
With the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Porsche willoffer a unique feature exclusive to this model: a fully automatic wind blocker. This factory or dealer installed option is the first device of its kind to raise automatically when the top is opened, and stow automatically when the top is closed. The wind blocker, which reduces buffeting and turbulence, consists of an aluminum frame covered with a cloth mesh, With the top open, it raises behind the front seats and encloses the rear seat area with an automatically extended cloth cover. With the top closed, the wind blocker folds against the headliner, providing nearly the same headroom as the Coupe. The wind blocker may be stored in a horizontal position in the rear seat area by manually releasing a locking mechanism. It can also be removed and stowed in the front trunk to allow use of the Cabriolet as an open car with three or four persons aboard.
Double-acting top sealing system
With its new double-acting top sealing system, the 1995 Porsche 911 Cabriolet once again sets new standards for convertibles. If an unusually large amount of water, such as from a powerful car wash system, cannot be sealed out by the outer rubber lip of the convertible top. catch spaces are integrated in the rubber seal to drain away the excess volume through the door seals of the A-pillars. Integration of other sealing components into single-piece units permits further optimization of interior sealing.
Automatic top mechanism
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera's fully automatic electric top mechanism, which will open or close the roof in approximately 13 seconds, is largely unchanged from the previous generation. Operation of the power top has been modified, allowing the driver to open or close it while the engine is running. The car must be stationary and the parking brake engaged.
New headliner
The interior of the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet has been made more attractive, with the entire top mechanism covered by a new headliner. The headliner material provides especially good sound insulating qualities, and folds smoothly and easily when the top is retracted.
Rear window
The rear window of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is bonded to the convertible top with hot glue, alowing it to be replaced more quickly and easily, In the past, if this plastic window was scratched or damaged, the entire top had to be removed in order to sew in the replacement window.
Reshaped roofline
The same exciting lines of the new 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe are found in the Cabriolet version. The main top bow and the top frame have been redesigned for a more rounded appearance.
New center brake light
The central brake lightis integrated into a newly-designed, rigid, body- colored spoiler mounted on the engine lid.INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior changes
Although the basic cockpit remains unchanged, several interior details received further development for improved functionality and ergonomics:
- new steering wheel with new airbag
- new steering column stalks
- relocated switches
- new particle filters for ventilation system
- door panels redesigned for storage and speaker mounting
- new seat design featuring flatter seams and improved thigh support for increased comfort
- new headliner for Cabriolet
- revised central locking and alarm system
- 20% greater trunk volume
- reduced effort required for clutch pedal operation
ENGINE
Further development of Porsche's 3.6 liter boxer engine
The powerplant of the 1995 911 Carrera is a further refined and developed version of the 911 3.6 liter engine. Design goals for the 1995 911 Carrera engine included increased power, optimized fuel consumption, improved serviceability and reduced manufacturing costs.
Engine changes
These goals were met through an extensive program of engineering changes, including:
- decreased valve train mass
- hydraulic valve lifters
- lighter valves with thinner stems
- lighter valve spring washers and retainers
- optimized, lighter rocker arms
- weight optimized crankshaft drive:
- optimized, lighter connecting rods
- lighter pistons
- lighter crankshaft pulley without vibration damper
- dual exhaust system
- hot film airflow sensor
- plastic composite valve covers
- plastic composite timing chain covers
Power and torque comparison
As a result of these technical refinements, substantial power and torque increases were realized for the engine of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera:
1995 | 1994 | |
power | 270 hp @ 6100 rpm | 247 hp @ 6100 rpm |
torque | 243 ft. lbs. @ 5000 rpm | 228 ft. lbs. @ 4800 rpm |
New hydraulic valveliters
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.6 liter engine with a compression ratio of 11.3:1, and cylinder bore and stroke dimensions of 100 mm x 76.4 mm. These dry numbers give little evidence of the extensive internal modifications carried out on Porsche's time: honored horizontally-opposed six cylinder engine concept. The valvetrain now features hydraulic valve lifters in the tips of the rocker arms, which completely eliminate the need for periodic valve adjustment, reduce engine noise and also provide improved cold start emissions.
New free-flow exhaust system
The exhaust system has been extensively redesigned to meet two apparently conflicting goals: lower backpressure and reduced noise. Lower backpressure allows higher engine output, but typically increases noise. By careful acoustic design, Porsche is able to meet both requirements.
Reduced engine noise
The design goal of decreasing noise while maintaining the characteristic Porsche sound so enjoyed by enthusiasts is furthered by the hydraulic lifters which elimninate valve train noise, the stiffer crankshaft which reduces resonance effects, and the lighter pistons and connecting rods which reduce noise associated with mechanical play. The engine underbody further reduces noise radiation.
TRANSMISSION
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera may be ordered with a six-speed manual transmission or Porsche's unique Tiptronic automatic transmission.
Manual transmission changes
Engine development of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera led to extensive transmission changes, including:
- new six-speed manual transaxle
- dual-cone synchronizers for first and second gears
- noise optimization and polishing of individual gears as well as ring and pinion gears
- no weight increase compared to previous 5-speed
- optimized clutch with cooling impeller on pressure plate
Advantages of six-speed transmission
The six speed transmission permits the driver to select a gear that allows the engine to provide maximum acceleration or low revolutions for cruising, as appropriate. A further benefit is improved fuel economy. The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera reaches top speed in sixth gear; unlike many cars with extremely long overdrive transmissions, itis not necessary to shift down to fifth to experience the top speed of the 911 Carrera. The six speed gearbox allowed Porsche engineers to lower the gearing in fourth and fifth gears, resulting in better throtle response athigher speeds. First and second gears of the new six-speed transmission now employ dual-cone synchronizers. These reduce shift forces by 30 to 40 percent.
Tiptronic transmission changes
Porsche's unique Tiptronic transmission, one of the most sophisticated automatic transmissions presently available, has also received further development for the 1995 model year, specifically:
- Tiptronic shift strategies adapted to the new 270 horsepower engine
- modified converter lockup and shiftmaps
- downshifts triggered by braking
To match the Tiptronic to the more powerful engine, shit points and shift strategies were remapped for improved comtort, optimized fuel economy and better performance as wll as reduced noise and exhaust emissions. Compared to the 1994 model, the 1995 Tiptronic spends a greater proportion of its time with the torque converter clutch locked. When driving on hilly roads, driving share of the lower gears was increased to provide better acceleration and engine braking effect. A new feature for 1995 is the ability to trigger downshits in automatic mode by braking, ensuring that the proper gear is available for subsequent cornering.
Limited slip differential and Automatic Brake Differential
As an option, Porsche offers a limited slip differential with its exclusive ABD (Automatic Brake Differential) traction system. ABD works as an extension of the ABS 5 brake system. When a rear wheel spins under acceleration, the control system automatically applies the brakes at only that wheel. This enables the maximum possible engine torque to be transmitted, and makes it easier to start from standstill under slippery conditions. Above 44 mph, the system becomes inactive. ABD activation is communicated to the driver by an indicator light on the dash. On six-speed cars, the optional limited slip differential includes Porsche's ABD traction system with lockup. For Tiptronic-equipped 911 Carreras, the ABD traction systemn without lockup is available as an option.
SUSPENSION
Completely new subframe-mounted rear suspension, improved front suspension
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera employs a new, completely redesigned rear suspension and further development of the front suspension. At the rear, the semi-trailing arms and struts have been replaced by Porsche's new multi-link LSA suspension (Lightweight-Stable Agile). This is the first ever use of a subframe-mounted design on a rear-engined production automobile.
Rear suspension changes
The new rear suspension includes:
- improved suspension kinematics
- low overall weight
- reduced unsprung weight
- improved comfort
- greater ease of assembly
Rear upper and lower A-arms, lower toe-control links
The rear axle consists of a subframe carrying upper and lower A-arms, with additional lower transverse links. The A-arms are actually formed of two separate upper links and single-piece lower arms on each side. These suspension members are designed to be loaded mainly in tension and compression, which permits lighter design than it they also had to carry bending forces. The lower transverse links are designed to control toe-in under both longitudinal and cornering forces.
The rear suspension kinematics are a further development of the "Weissach" suspension pioneered on the Porsche 928. Under cornering forces, the outside rear wheel toes in to reduce oversteering tendencies. Handling remains stable regardless of side force, and the car tracks precisely even under high cornering forces or rapid lane changes. Rear toe in also changes in response to braking, ensuring good directional stability. The new suspension permits lateral acceleration figures in excess of 1.0 g on high-traction surfaces, and 5% higher slalom speeds than the 1994 model - significant improvements.
Front suspension development goals
Primary goals for tront suspension development were improved stability on smooth as wll as uneven surfaces, and enhanced braking performance in situations where one side of the car experiences more grip than the other, such as when one side is on gravel.
Front suspension changes
Benefits of the front suspension modifications are:
- improved straight-line stability
- improved braking under adverse conditions
- reduced steering kickback on rough roads
- better wheel control through reduced unsprung weight
- reduced weight through more extensive use of aluminum
- new steering tie rods with elastic isolators
Optional sport suspension
Porsche's sport suspension is available as an option on the 911 Carrera Coupe. Changes compared to the standard suspension include:
- shorter, stiffer springs
- stiffer, larger-diameter stabilizer bars
- different shock absorber tuning
- larger 17-inch wheels
BRAKES
Revised brake system
The 1995 911 Carrera continues Porsche's tradition of offering brakes that are among the best in the industry. In keeping with the greater performance potential of the 1995 911 Carrera, the brake system received extensive revision.
Brake system changes
New features for 1995 include
- larger, thicker front brakes
- front brake pad area increased by 45%
- cross-drilled rotors
- first application of new Bosch ABS 5 system
- improved brake modulation
For 1995, the front rotors increase in outside diameter from the previous 298 mm to 304 mm. Front rotor thickness increases from 28 to 32 mm. Larger four-piston fixed calipers are installed at the front, with 45% greater pad area. At the rear, the brake rotor size remains unchanged at 299 mm but front and rear rotors are now cross-drilled for improved cooling and quicker response in wet conditions.
New generation ABS
The brake system uses the latest ABS 5 three-channel anti-lock system. ABS 5 provides several advantages over earlier systems:
- shorter braking distances on uneven surfaces
- improved modulation, resulting in more constant deceleration
- decreased pedal kickback under full ABS braking
In addition, ABS 5 provides redundant control systems and builtin diagnostic functions. For service purposes, the ABS 5 system retains a failure memory, allows real-time diagnostic monitoring during driving, and permits individual brake actuators to be addressed by service personnel.
WHEELS AND TIRES
Wider wheels and tires
The 16-inch diameter standard wheels of the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera are an inch wider, front and rear, than in 1994. Standard rear tires are also wider. The optional 17-inch wheel and tire package for 1995 has wider rear wheels than the previous model, but retains the same tire sizes as in 1994. Thanks to the new rear axle design, rolling noise and tire wear are decreased without requiring any changes in tire design.
Redesigned wheels
Along with the bodywork, the wheels ofthe 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera have been redesigned Both standard and optional wheels are made of a low-pressure cast aluminum alloy, and are lighter for 1995. Air openings are larger, for more efficient brake cooling.SAFETY
At Porsche, safety begins with a car's driving characteristics. The dynamic behavior of Porsche sports cars is the result of advanced testing and experimentation, as well as experience on the race track. The results are uncompromising design of suspension, steering, and brakes. Safety considerations are also reflected in the comfort, excellent visibility, and ergonomically correct design of Porsche sports cars.
Highlights of Porsche's safety engineering
Safety is not a new concept at Porsche. Since 1973, every Porsche 911 has been equipped with door reinforcements for increased protection in side impacts. In 1990, Porsche was the first auto manufacturer to equip all of its products with anti-lock brakes. Also in 1990, Porsche was the first manufacturer, domestic or import, to equip every car sold in the United States with driver as well as front passenger airbags as standard equipment.
Airbag system improvements
The 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera includes several improvements to the airbag system:
- driver's airbag housed in a smaller pod in a redesigned steering wheel
- horn operation by pushing the airbag pod,instead of buttons on the steering wheel spokes
- new gas generator with better bag filling characteristics
- new bag with seams instead of containing bands for reduced weight and space requirements
2+2 seating with rear shoulder harnesses
In addition to these changes in the passive restraint system, the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet provide three-point safety belts for both front and rear seat passengers.
Structural safety
Airbags and safety belts represent just one level of protection for the occupants, however. The car's structure is also designed for safety, with a rigid cage to surround the occupants and deformable crush zones to absorb impacts. Porsche was the first manufacturer to build car bodies using sheet steel galvanized on both sides. This not only preserves the appearance of the car and the owner's investment, but also maintains the built-in crashworthiness of the car. Porsche is one of only two manufacturers who feels so strongly about its corrosion protection measures that it provides a fullten-year limited warranty against rust perforation. Even the paint carries a three-year limited warranty.
PORSCHE, SPORTS CARS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental responsibility
Porsche is not only pioneer in high technology and high performance, but an industry leader in environmental responsibility. This begins with building cars to last. Of all the Porsches built since 1948, it is estimated that 80 percent are still in service. Part of that longevity comes from the fully galvanized bodywork of the Porsche 911. Its durability has been a factor in maintaining Porsche's traditionally high resale values and unparalleled owner loyalty.
Efficient recycling
During development of the 1995 91 1 Carrera, the goal of recyclability of a high proportion of materials used in producing the car was given priority - and achieved. If and when a Porsche reaches the end of its useful life, labeling of various plastic components willmake it easier to reprocess parts, and will help to put plastics back into consumer products, not in landiflls. Lightweight metals, such as aluminum and magnesium, as well as steel, are easily recycled.
Performance WITH LESS pollution
Despite their high performance, Porsche cars are among the cleanest on the road. Highly effective three-way catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, and engine management systems have long been partof the Porsche pedigree. Al Porsche models are equipped with systems that fulfill the most stringent exhaust standards worldwide.
Ozone-friendly HFC-134a refrigerant
Growing concern about the possible effects of chlorofluorocarbons, including the CFC-12 refrigerants used in automotive air conditioning systems, on the earth's ozone layer led Porsche to introduce a CFC-free refrigerant, HFC-134a, beginning with its 1993 models. The higher cost of HFC-134a, and its higher salvage value, also provide a monetary recycling incentive for repair shops.
SPECIAL OPTIONS AND EUROPEAN DELIVERY
Special-order options available for all Porsches
Porsche owners who would like to further personalize their cars can take advantage of Porsche's special options program. Porsche offers a wide range of special order items to make each car uniquely individual. These include paint to match any sample color and leather to dupli licate any sample shade.

WARRANTY
Broad warranty coverage
Thanks to decades of experience building solid, urable high-performance cars, Porsche's warranty coverage is among the broadest of any sports car manufacturer. Each Porsche is covered by a two-year new vehicle limited warranty with unlimited mileage, which includes the Porsche roadside assistance program. The fully galvanized body and 26-step paint and anti-corrosion process enable Porsche to warrant each car for ten years and unlimited mileage against rust perforation, protection unmatched by any other sports car manufacturer. In addition, the paintwork carries a three-year limited warranty.
Two-year parts warranty
In addition to the extensive warranty coverage of Porsche cars, Porsche also warrants parts and accessories for two years and unlimited mileage. For parts and accessories installed by authorized Porsche dealers, labor costs are also covered.
LEASING AND FINANCING
Porsche Credit Corporation offers attractive leasing, financing and balloon payment plans for new and used Porsche sports cars. The "Porsche Preferred Lease" program is available for new Porsche sports cars and for 1991-1994 pre-owned cars. The lease term can be as long as 60 months. Finance terms of up to 84 months are available. The "Porsche Options" program combines the economies of leasing with the benefits of ownership for new Porsches as well as 1990-1994 pre-owned Porsches.
