Data determined in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in accordance with the Euro 6 (715/2007/EC, 195/2013/EC and ECE-R 101.01) measurement method. The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute
part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Fuel consumption calculated for vehicles with standard specification only. Actual consumption and performance may vary with items of
optional equipment. A vehicles fuel consumption and CO2 emissions depend not only on its efficient use of fuel, but also on driving style and other non-technical factors. Current Porsche models with petrol engines are designed for
fuel containing up to 10% ethanol. You can obtain further information about individual vehicles from your Porsche Centre.
