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).

Instruments.

The classic Porsche grouping of
five round instruments offers a
clear overview of all key informa -
tion.
The digital display in the centre-
left dial (speedometer) provides
main and trip odometer readings.
The central rev counter, featuring
the ‘turbo’ ‘or turbo S’ logo,
includes the standard on-board
computer display. This multi -
pur
pose field contains a perma -
nent digital speedometer as well
as the upshif t display on manual
models. The following optional information can also be displayed:
boost pressure, average speed,
average fuel consumption, t yre
pressure, current radio station,
navigation instructions and
remaining range till empt y. When
‘Sport ’ mode is selected on

the Sport Chrono Package Turbo
in a 911 Turbo model equipped
with dynamic engine mount
system, the temporary increase
in maximum torque is clearly
indicated by an arrow symbol in
the boost pressure display.
The third display, in the centre-
right dial, shows the time and
outside temperature.
Why do you need huge gestures
when the signs are clear?
Comfort.
An expressive design.
Well conceived technology.

A consistently sporty style.
No gimmicks. Why should the
rules for performance be
any different for the interior?
