The Porsche 911 was the best selling sports car in the world and each and every newer generation was better than the one it replaced it and the 2015 Carrera S was no exception.
Even though it wasn't a completely new model, the 2015 Carrera S had so many parts changed that it was hard to say that it wasn't a new vehicle. The basic 991 bodywork (code-name for the generation launched in 2012) remained the same, but some minor changes were noticed. The bumpers were slightly different, with bigger air-intakes. On the rear spoiler, the engine vents were longitudinally placed instead of transverse.
Inside the cabin, the Carrera S featured the same two bucket seats in front and two cramped seats in the rear. The dashboard was modified and featured a Porsche Communication Management System (PCM) that included a 7" touch-screen display. It could be connected to an iPhone via Apple CarPlay and the interior designer assigned a special place for the phone in the center armrest where the phone could have been charged.
The real changes are under the bodywork. The Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM) was a standard-fit for 2015 911 and that included a lowered ground clearance by 10 mm (0.4") when compared to the 2012 911. The engine displacement was decreased to 3 liters but added two turbochargers. The standard transmission for the Carrera S was a 7-speed manual, but a PDK (Porsche Dual-Clutch) was available.
