Driver and passenger airbags.
The t wo full-size airbags can be
inflated in t wo stages, depending
on the severit y of the impact. In a low-speed crash, the airbags
are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
Bodyshell structure.
The reinforced bodyshell contains
a highly resilient passenger cell
offering exceptional crash protec
-
tion. At the front of the car, the
cell is protected by a patented
system of longitudinal and trans -
verse members (1). In the event of
an accident, it disperses the force
of the impact and minimises
deformation of the passenger cell.
Additional features include an
ultra-rigid bulkhead cross-member
(2) made from super high-strength steel. This element is designed to
absorb impact forces from the longitudinal members and thus
protect the front foot wells.
The reinforced doors (3) also

contribute to the overall rigidit y
of the car. An additional load

path (4) is used to channel energy
through the upper part of the
shell and thus further protect the
passenger cell.
In minor collisions, easily replace -
able impact absorbers (5) protect

Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
POSIP, fit ted as standard, consists
of side impact protection beams
in the doors and t wo side airbags
on each side, namely a thorax
airbag located in the side of each
backrest and a head airbag incor-
porated within each door. Each
airbag has an approximate volume
of 8 litres, ensuring excellent
protection in the event of side
impact.
Additional safet y features include
the headrests which form an
integral part of each seat, an
energy-absorbing steering column,
three-point seat belts with height
adjustment (Coupés only), seat
belt pre-tensioners and force
limiters and energy-absorbing
elements in the dashboard.
Safety in the 911 Turbo
Cabriolets.
One fundamental principle at
Porsche is to provide high levels
of occupant protection, regardless
of whether the vehicle is a closed
or open-top design.
Torsional rigidit y and flexural
strength are exemplary for a t wo -
plus-t wo convertible. Body flexing
is minimal even on the most
poorly surfaced roads, ensuring
bet ter handling and greater
active safety.
Occupants are protected by an
automatically deploying roll- over
system if the vehicle were to overturn. Two spring-loaded roll-
over bars are neatly incorporated
behind each of the rear seats.
The roll- over sensor – part of the
airbag control unit – continuously
monitors the car’s pitch and roll,
contact with the road, as well as
lateral and longitudinal forces.
If the car were to overturn,

the top -padded bars would be
deployed instantly.
Of course, the 911 Turbo
Cabriolets also come as standard
with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).

In an era of intensif ying debate
about CO
2 emissions, every auto-
motive manufacturer is being
asked the question, ‘What is your
answer to the issue of fuel
consumption?’ Our answer has
long been the same: maximum
efficiency. Porsche has been reducing the
CO2 emissions of its vehicles by
an average of around 1.7 %* every
year for the past 15 years. In
relation to engine power, Porsche
is already among those manufac -
turers achieving the lowest CO
2
emissions. This has been achieved through ef ficient drive concepts
(e.g. DFI), light weight construc
-
tion, optimised aerodynamics and
low rolling resistance.
This high level of environmental
responsibilit y is demonstrated by
our approach to environmental
management at the Porsche devel -
opment centre in Weissach. Here,
all technological developments
are carried out with environmental
protection in mind. The objective is to achieve pure performance,
but not at the expense of the

environment.
You will find more information
in our separate brochure
‘Porsche and the Environment ’
or at w w w.porsche.com.
Exhaust emission control.
The 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo S
models comply with stringent
emissions standards, including
Euro 5 in Europe and LEV II/ LEV
in the USA. Porsche vehicles
demonstrate that even high-
performance sportscars can
achieve moderate emission
values in their respective cate -
gory. This makes them not just
extremely exciting sportscars,
but very clean ones too.
What’s urgently expected of today’s management teams?
Responsibility.
Environment.
Think twice about every
additional ounce. Get more
power out of every drop of
fuel. Examine every path to a
solution. Why? Well, because
it’s our duty. And because
our efforts to achieve greater
efficiency will also give us
the engineering lead.
Responsibility | Environment
* The stated reduction in fuel consumption
has been calculated from the NEDC (New
European Drive Cycle) fuel consumption
figures for the respective model years of the
vehicles and in relation to the applicable
European legislation.

Fuel consumption and recycling.
Intelligent light weight construction
is a fundamental aspect of design
at Porsche. For both economic
and ecological reasons. This forms
the basis for achieving low fuel
consumption values combined
with outstanding performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of cast aluminium
alloys, magnesium, plastics and
high-strength sheet steel, the
lat ter being much stronger and
lighter than conventional steel.
The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models consist of almost 20 %
lightweight alloys.
It is also ecological because all
materials used are carefully
selected. Only the latest, environ -
mentally sound components are
used. All light weight materials are
easily recyclable, while the variet y
of synthetic components has been
reduced. Recycled plastics are
used in all areas of the car where
they meet our exacting technical
requirements. To simplify process -ing, all materials are labelled for
separate recycling.
In short, approximately 95
% of
today’s 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models can be recycled.
Porsche primarily uses environmen -
tally friendly water-based paints.
All areas of the 911 Turbo and
911 Turbo S models are free from
asbestos, CFCs and components
manufactured using CFCs. Because
at Porsche, helping the environ -
ment doesn’t start at the end of a
vehicle’s life. It starts right at
the beginning at the planning and
development stages.Fuel.
The current 911 Turbo generation is
already compatible with fuels that
have an ethanol content of up to
10 %. A ‘biofuel’ made from naturally
replenishing materials, ethanol has
a positive impact on the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for its production also
absorb carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. Hydrocarbon emissions from the
fuel supply system are low,
achieved through a combination of
an active carbon filter and a
special fuel-tank coating. All fuel
lines are made from aluminium,
whilst those carrying vapours are
made from multi-layer plastic.
Noise.
The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S
models comply with all current
noise regulations – without resort
-
ing to engine encapsulation.
To achieve this, we’ve eliminated
noise at source: engine compo -nents are more rigid, moving
parts lighter and tolerances
reduced to a minimum. High-

efficiency silencers and resona -
tors in the intake system help
to reduce noise even further. For
the entire service life of the car.

Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
Fit ted as standard, PCM is the
central information and commu -
nications system. It is both
multifunctional and very easy to
operate.
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
touchscreen for intuitive control.
For radio listeners, there is an
FM t win tuner with RDS, which
constantly scans for the best signal for the selected station,
and up to four radio aerials for
optimum reception.
The integrated single CD/ DVD
drive of the 911 Turbo models
can, in combination with the
standard BOSE
® Surround Sound
System, replay music from audio
and video DVDs in 5.1 Discrete
Surround Format. As an option,
a six-disc CD/ DVD autochanger
can also be integrated in PCM
(standard on 911 Turbo S
models). The standard GPS navigation
module has a hard drive with

map data for most European
countries. When viewing a map,
it is possible to select either a
3D perspective or a 2D display.
Electronic logbook.
The optional electronic logbook
enables automatic recording
of mileage, route distance, date
and time, starting point and
destination for each journey.
TV tuner.
A T V tuner, available as an option,
receives unencoded analogue
and digital television broadcasts
(DVB-T) to provide entertainment
bet ween journeys. For your
safet y, the T V picture cannot be
displayed while the vehicle is in
motion.
Voice control system.
Almost all of the functions of PCM
can be controlled via the optional
voice control system. The main
menu item is read aloud exactly
as it is displayed on the screen
and the voice control system
recognises commands or number
sequences, irrespective of the
speaker. It gives audible feedback
and guides you through the
functions. There is no need to
‘train’
the system. Phone book
entries can be retrieved, a radio
station selected or the navigation
destination entered directly by
speaking whole words.
Telephone module for PCM.*
The standard GSM telephone
module offers convenience and
excellent reception. By inserting
a SIM card directly into PCM’s
integral SIM card reader, calls
can be made using the hands-free
facilit y. For even more conven -
ience, the Bluetooth
® capabilit y
of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access
Profile (SAP). Once automatic
pairing is complete, the mobile
phone’s aerial is switched of f to
conserve bat tery charge and the
phone operates via the car aerial.
Depending on the mobile phone
model, this gives access not only
to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal
memory. Depending on the phone,
it can also be controlled using
PCM, the optional multifunction
steering wheel or the optional
voice control system, without it
ever leaving your pocket.
In addition, the telephone module
enables you to establish a
Bluetooth
® link with those mobile
phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this
case, the GSM connection is
always established through the
aerial of the mobile phone.
PCM acts as a hands-free system
and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away. On request,
a cordless handset for the tele -
phone module is also available.
However, the handset cannot be
used for Bluetooth
® links estab -
lished using the Handsfree Profile
(HFP).
