seats PORSCHE 911 2009 5.G Information Manual

911 Turbo Cabriolet
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, page 56) and Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM, page 53) are standard
across the 911 Turbo model
range. The Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB, page
68) is fit ted as standard exclu -
sively on 911 Turbo S models.
Standard on 911 Turbo S and
optional on 911 Turbo models is
the Sport Chrono Package Turbo
with dynamic engine mount
system (page 58). It has a whole
host of performance-enhancing
functions. The ‘overboost ’ on
911 Turbo models, for example,
briefly raises boost pressure
when accelerating in the lower
and mid-engine speed ranges to
provide an additional 50 Nm of
torque. On 911 Turbo S models,
the permanently increased

maximum boost pressure guaran-
tees that a maximum torque
of 700 Nm is available for an
unlimited period.
When combined with PDK, the
SPORT PLUS but ton can activate
‘Launch Control’, for optimum acceleration from a standing
start, or the motorsport- derived
gearshift strategy for racing-st yle
gear changes. The dynamic
engine mount system improves
ride comfort and vehicle
dynamics whilst also providing
more stable handling. The
system reduces the oscillations
and movements of inert masses
in the drive assembly by auto -
matically changing the stiffness
and damping characteristics of
the engine mounts.
As is so t ypical of the 911 Turbo,
comfort and sound are not
neglected either. Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, page 86), including a
navigation module and 6.5-inch
touchscreen, and the BOSE
®
Surround Sound System both
come as standard. The standard
specification of the 911 Turbo S
models gives you even more,
such as the integrated six-disc
CD/ DVD autochanger, adaptive
sports seats and cruise control.
It sounds, therefore, as though
the 911 Turbo model range has got it all. Apart from weight, that
is. The doors and bonnet are
made of aluminium and the
engine is particularly light weight
thanks to the use of light alloys
and integral dry-sump lubrication.
Forged 19-inch 911 Turbo II wheels
on the 911 Turbo models and
forged
19-inch RS Spyder wheels
with
a central locking device on
the
911 Turbo S models keep the
unsprung masses low. The result
is a power-to -weight ratio of
3.1 kg / hp for the Coupé and
3.3 kg / hp for the Cabriolet
(911 Turbo S models: 3.0 kg / hp
and 3.1 kg / hp respectively).
The technology of the 911 Turbo
and 911 Turbo S models has
enabled a balance to be achieved. It increases power at the same
time as maintaining comparatively
low fuel consumption figures and
CO
2 emissions, showing that,
at Porsche, efficiency and power
are inseparable.

Design.
Rear wing raised
Interior of the 911 Turbo in Carrera Red
natural leatherRear wing lowered
The st yling is dynamic without
being fussy. Sport y without being
ostentatious. In short, no gim
-
micks, no showiness, no doubts.
The side air-intake grilles in
the front apron have titanium-

coloured painted slats. To the
right or lef t respectively of the
grilles are the day time running
lights, positioned low down.
Like the indicators, they utilise
LED technology to provide
increased illumination and give

a characteristic look. Optional
dynamic cornering lights are an
additional safet y feature (standard
on 911 Turbo S models).
Glancing over the sides of the
911 Turbo models, you will notice
the linear, no -frills t win -spoke
design of the 911 Turbo II wheels. Elements of the spokes and wheel
rim have a high -sheen finish. The
wheels are forged and the sophis
-
ticated technology facilitates a
light weight, yet highly rigid design.
On the 911 Turbo S models, the
forged aluminium wheels in the
RS Spyder design with a central
locking device provide a good
glimpse of the yellow brake cali -
pers of the standard Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB,
page 68).
The rear features LED taillights
that extend right round to the
wings where they taper to a point.
The LED brake lights respond
extremely quickly, thereby
increasing active safet y. In other
words, the traffic behind is
warned sooner.
The t wo tailpipes are positioned
neatly in the recesses of the
rear apron and provide a visual
reminder of the engine’s increased
power.
A characteristic feature of the
911 Turbo is the rear wing, which
extends at 120 km/ h (75 mph),
retracting again when vehicle
speed drops to around 60 km/ h (37 mph). The drag coefficient

is just 0.31 (Cabriolet models:
0.32).
The interior design is also charac -
teristic: sport y, unclut tered and
ergonomically refined. Careful
consideration has been given to
the interior geometry and there
is a generous amount of occupant
space. The gear lever design
is exclusive to 911 Turbo models
equipped as standard with the
manual gearbox. Reserved for
911 Turbo S models is the t wo -tone
leather interior with contrasting
seams on the seats, door panels
and dashboard.
For more information on the
many possible combinations of
technological options, colours
and materials for the interior,
please see page 90 onwards.

The 911 Turbo.
Although the figures provide
succinct proof of its power,
there is one value in particular
that makes a 911 Turbo what
it is: constancy. Of course, much
has changed in the course of
seven generations, but the basic
principle remains the same.
It is in the nature of the 911 Turbo
to handle its power ef fortlessly
and with composure. Power is
available at all times. The 3.8-litre
six-cylinder boxer engine with
DFI outputs 368 kW (500 hp) be -
t ween 6,000 rpm and 6,500 rpm
and summons up 650 Nm of
torque bet ween 1,950 rpm and
5,000 rpm. Despite delivering
more power than the previous
model, it has been possible to
reduce fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions significantly, by up
to 16 % and 18 % respectively,
depending on the model.
Here are some more fascinating
facts: with the standard six-speed
manual gearbox, the traditional
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) sprint is
achieved in just 3.7 seconds.
With the optional PDK and Sport
Chrono Package Turbo with
dynamic engine mount system,
this time is reduced even further,
to 3.4 seconds. The 200 km/ h
(124 mph) mark is reached in 11.9
and 11.3 seconds respectively.
Top speed is 312 km/ h (194 mph).
These figures undoubtedly brand
the 911 Turbo as a super athlete.
Yet the amazing thing is the ease
with which the driver can achieve
them. Helping to make it all
so easy are the standard-fit ted
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) active all-wheel drive,
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) and optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PT V). What ’s also interesting is that
these technologies not only

produce impressive performance
figures, they also vastly improve
the car’s everyday practicalit y.
The same can be said for the
comfortable interior. Leather

trim and the multi-way electrically
adjustable comfort seats with
driver memory function come as
standard. Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with a GPS
navigation system features intui -
tive controls, while the standard
BOSE® Surround Sound System
provides an impressive sound
experience. Seat ventilation,
steering wheel heating and many
other personalisation options
are available on request.
The 911 Turbo. Whether you
perceive it as a no -compromise
embodiment of the power

prin ciple or as a technology plat -
form that effortlessly combines
efficiency with comfort and a
sport y edge depends on one thing
above all else: your point of view.
Closed or open, ‘S’ or no ‘S’.
There are many ways to inter -
pret the 911 Turbo concept.
But one thing remains the
same: making a choice never
means making a compromise
on power and efficiency.
You don’t have to depart this life
to become a legend.

The new 911 Turbo S.
The new 911 Turbo S is perhaps
the embodiment of one of the
original Porsche principles: to
make do is not an option. To
stand still is inconceivable. We
move on, and more awaits around
the corner. Never anxious, always
cool and composed. Looking
forward at all times. This is why we
gave the 911 Turbo S even more. As a result of a modified valve
control system and an adaptation
of the engine management,

combined with an increase in
maximum boost pressure by
0.2 bar to 1.2 bar, the 3.8-litre
boxer engine develops 390 kW
(530 hp) bet ween 6,250 rpm and
6,750 rpm. The maximum torque
is an impressive 700 Nm bet ween
2,100 rpm and 4,250 rpm. This
means an extra 30 hp and 50 Nm
compared with the 911 Turbo. Yet, even though power output
has been increased, fuel consump
-
tion and CO2 emissions remain
at the same low level thanks to
the use of efficient technologies
such as DFI, Variable Turbine
Geometry (V TG), VarioCam Plus
and the expansion intake manifold.
Visually, the engine is distin -
guished by an air filter housing
with a carbon-weave finish and
the ‘turbo S’ logo.
The 911 Turbo S models represent
power in pure form, and they
have the performance figures

to prove it. With the standard
com bination of PDK and the Sport
Chrono Package Turbo with
dynamic engine mount system,
the 911 Turbo S storms through
the 100 km/ h (62 mph) mark from

a standing start in just 3.3 sec -
onds – the fastest ever achieved
by a Porsche production car.
0 to 200 km/ h (124 mph): 10.8
seconds. Top speed: 315 km/ h
(196 mph). It has even been pos -
sible to improve driving dynamics,
thanks not least to the standard-
fit ted Porsche Torque Vectoring
(PT V) including a mechanically
locking rear differential.
At Porsche, whenever we provide
more power as standard, we natu -
rally include extra safet y features
as standard, too. The track-proven

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB) and the dynamic cornering
lights are t wo examples.
Also fit ted as standard are the
light weight, forged RS Spyder
wheels with a motorsport-derived
central locking device.
Inside, the three-spoke sports
steering wheel with gearshif t
paddles is pleasing to the eye,
and to the touch. The gearshif t
logic comes straight from the
racetrack: pull the right-hand
paddle to shift up, pull the left-
hand paddle to shift down.

Other standard features include
the adaptive sports seats, the
six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger
integrated into the PCM, cruise
control, the choice of t wo -tone
leather interior in Black and

Cream or Black and Titanium Blue

exclusive to the 911 Turbo S models,
and the windscreen

with a grey top-tint.
Visual cues that hint at the
enormous power within are the
‘ turbo S’ logos on the door sill
guards, rev counter, rear lid and
plaque on the upper section of
the air cleaner.
The new 911 Turbo S. The most
powerful interpretation of the
911 Turbo concept there has ever
been. Charged with a passion
to surpass past achievements.

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).

Interior.
Efficient ergonomics is the guid-
ing theme for the interior. The
steering wheel of fers 40 mm of
adjustment for both height and
reach. A multifunction steering
wheel – with or without steering
wheel heating – is available on
request. The distinctively designed gear lever (for the six-
speed manual gearbox) and PDK
gear selector are easy to operate.
Porsche Communication Manage
-
ment (PCM) with a touchscreen is
fit ted as standard, as is the inte -
gral GPS navigation module with
hard drive navigation (page 86).
The new 911 Turbo S models come equipped with an integrated
six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger

and cruise control as standard.
The air- conditioning system with
an active carbon filter is fully
automatic. The leather finish on the seats,
dashboard, doors and rear
side panels is pleasing to the
touch. Available exclusively for
911 Turbo S models as standard
is the choice of t wo -tone leather
interior in either Black and Cream
or Black and Titanium Blue.
The centre console and door
storage compartments provide
storage space for personal items.
Below the passenger airbag are
t wo cup holders and below these
is the glove compartment with
CD storage.
Two 12-volt sockets (including the
cigaret te lighter) provide power
for a range of electrical devices.
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?
