The 911 Black Edition is based on the 345-hp Carrera and features a particularly comprehensive equipment package. It will be available across Europe as a Coupé or Cabriolet - and only in black of course. Exclusivity and price make this 911 Carrera all the more attractive. The 911 Black Edition is limited to 1,911 units and costs exactly as much as the Carrera basic models. In Germany that is 85,538 Euros ($115,000) for the Coupé and 96,843 Euros ($131,000) for the Cabriolet, including value-added tax in both cases.

The market launch gets underway in April 2011.

Exterior: 19-inch Turbo Wheels

The 911 Black Edition is painted in plain black as standard, with basalt black metallic also available as an option. The Cabrio hood is principally of black cloth. With the Black Edition, the color highlights are provided by the 19-inch 911 Turbo II bi-color wheels, their dichroic effect ideally complementing the discreet elegance of the exterior color. In addition, the rims provide an unobstructed view of the brakes, naturally with black, four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers. The grey top-tint in the windscreen is standard in the 911 Black Edition, rounding off the overall impression on a harmonious note.

Interior: "Black Edition" Badges and Sports Steering Wheel

The "Black Edition's" black lettering on the stainless steel door entry guards provides a first hint of the high-quality interior design concentrating on purist sports car values. The interior continues the exterior color scheme. Already equipped as standard with high-quality partial leather seats, the 911 Black Edition can of course be upgraded with the option of an additional leather interior. Also included in the series version is a sports design steering wheel. The instrument cluster naturally remains in black. On the glove compartment lid, a badge testifies to the 911 Black Edition's limited production run. Conversely, the decorative molding on the dashboard, gear lever or selector and air vents provide a contrast with their aluminum look paint. The rear center console is painted in the exterior color.

Standard BOSE Surround Sound-System and GPS Navigation

An acoustic highlight of the 911 Black Edition's enhanced equipment is the BOSE Surround Sound-System, fitted as standard. It was specially coordinated with the interior of the 911 Carrera models and comprises 13 loudspeakers (twelve in the Cabriolet) including active subwoofer and centre speaker as well as a seven channel digital amplifier with a total output of 385 W for a brilliant sound experience. Coupé and Cabriolet are equipped with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM), as are 911 Carrera models. The GPS navigation module comes as standard in the 911 Black Edition as does the universal audio interface in the central console's storage compartment. The 911 Black Edition's enhanced equipment package also includes parking assistant, cruise control, automatic anti-dazzle interior and exterior mirrors and a rain sensor.

The engine and transmission is carried over unchanged from the 911 Carrera.

The 911 Black Edition's sportiness and comfort can be enhanced yet further if so desired. For example by means of the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and as an additional variant for the Coupé the PASM sports chassis with bodywork lowered by an inch and mechanical rear differential lock. To further optimize braking performance, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with ceramic disc brakes is offered as an option.
