New Sports Exhaust System for the
Porsche 911 Carrera and Targa 4

Stuttgart - The engineers of Dr.
Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, have developed a new sports
exhaust system for the latest generation of the 911, available
as an option on new models as of February 2009. This special
exhaust gives the customer the opportunity to adjust the 911 to
his individual, personal preferences also in the car’s
particular sound: At the touch of a button the exhaust system
switches over to a sporting and emotional sound generated in
particular whenever the driver prefers a truly dynamic style of
motoring.
The new sports exhaust system is
made of modified stainless-steel main silencers and stands out
clearly through its two dual tailpipes in unique design.

The heart of the system is the
exhaust flap on each main silencer activated by the engine’s
electronic control system and switching over to a more sporting
sound as soon as the driver activates the sound mode. The system
itself is activated by a separate button in the centre console
varying the sound of the exhaust as a function of engine load,
road speed and engine speed. |
The Euro base price of the sports
exhaust system is 1,610 Euro excluding taxes. In the US the
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is 2,500 US$.
Starting in April 2009, Porsche will also be offering a
Tequipment version for retrofitting.
