The Sport Design Edition of the 2015 Carrera S was distinguished by its unique wheel package, enhancing both performance and exclusivity:
• Design: Equipped with 20-inch SportTechno wheels, a lightweight forged alloy design with a motorsport-inspired, twin five-spoke look. These wheels were finished in Titanium Grey with a polished outer rim, setting the Sport Design Edition apart visually from standard Carrera S models.
• Sizing:
• Front: 20 x 8.5 inches, fitted with 245/35 ZR20 performance tires.
• Rear: 20 x 11 inches, fitted with 295/30 ZR20 performance tires.
• Performance Benefits:
• Wide staggered setup provides excellent grip and traction under acceleration.
• Lightweight forged alloys reduce unsprung mass, improving handling precision and ride quality.
• Aggressive stance enhances the 911’s athletic proportions while maintaining everyday usability.
• Center Caps: Porsche crest wheel caps, color finished, standard with the Sport Design Edition.

The 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera S is equipped with a braking system engineered to match its 400-horsepower performance and precision handling.
• Front Brakes:
• 13.4-inch (340 mm) vented and cross-drilled brake discs.
• Four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers, painted red as standard on the Carrera S.
• Rear Brakes:
• 13-inch (330 mm) vented and cross-drilled discs.
• Four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers.
• Design:
• Cross-drilled rotors provide superior heat dissipation under repeated high-performance stops.
• Vented discs reduce brake fade during spirited driving on winding roads.
• Porsche’s ABS and stability management (PSM) integrate with the braking system to maintain control even in aggressive or emergency braking situations.

At the heart of this 911’s performance is Porsche’s legendary 7-speed PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) dual-clutch transmission. Originally developed from Porsche’s motorsport program, the PDK blends race-bred technology with everyday usability.
• How It Works:
• Two clutches (one for odd gears, one for even) preselect the next gear while you’re still in the current one.
• Shifts happen in milliseconds, with no interruption of power.
• Performance Benefits:
• Lightning-fast shifts — quicker than any manual driver could achieve.
• Seamless acceleration under hard throttle.
• Launch Control (with Sport Chrono Package) — enables optimal standing starts with maximum grip.
• Adaptive modes — switch between comfort-oriented automatic shifts and aggressive sport programming.
• Driver Engagement:
• Paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow for full manual control.
• Smooth, intuitive operation in automatic mode for relaxed cruising.
• Why It Matters:
• The PDK makes the 911 Carrera S equally at home on the racetrack, winding Hill Country roads, or gliding into a wedding venue.
• It delivers the thrill of a manual with the refinement and precision of modern engineering.
