Wheels.
The 911 Carrera models are equipped
with 19-inch Carrera wheels as standard.
These are light weight alloys featuring a
classic sport y design. Tyre sizes are
235/40 ZR 19 and 285/35 ZR 19 at the
front and rear, respectively. All-wheel-
drive models are fit ted with even wider
295/35 ZR 19 t yres at the rear.The S models are equipped with light-
alloy 20 -inch Carrera
S wheels as
standard. The visual effect is sport y and
dynamic. The t yres are slightly wider to
cope with the increased power output of
these models: 245/35 ZR 20 at the
front, 295/30 ZR 20 at the rear. All-
wheel-drive models have 305/30 ZR 20
t yres at the rear.
The large t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. Rolling
resistance, dry braking distances and t yre
weight are all comparatively low, thereby
helping to reduce fuel consumption.
A selection of 20 -inch wheels is available
in our range of options.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Integrated as standard, Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) sends warnings to the
on-board computer’s display screen in
the event of low t yre pressure or a
gradual or sudden loss of pressure. The
individual pressures in all four t yres can
be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the 911 Carrera models are
equipped with enhanced Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), which maintains sta -
bilit y even at the limits of dynamic driving
performance. Sensors continuously moni -
tor the direction, speed, yaw velocit y and
lateral acceleration of the car. Using this
information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake diffe
rential
(ABD) and anti -slip regulation (ASR).
When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving style.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,
for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of

driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an
apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit y.

PTV in conjunction with the manual
gearbox, or PT V Plus with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), are available as
options for the 911 Carrera models and
standard in the S models. Both systems
actively enhance vehicle dynamics and
stability. Operating in conjunction with a
mechanical (PT V) or electronic (PT V Plus)
rear differential lock, they work by
intelligently braking the rear wheels as
the situation demands.
As a function of steering angle and steering
speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw

rate and vehicle speed, PT V and PT V Plus

are able to improve steering response
and steering precision by specific braking
of the right or left rear wheel.
To be more precise, this means that when
the car is driven assertively into a corner,
moderate brake pressure is applied to the
inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater
amount of drive force is distributed to the
outside rear wheel, inducing an additional
rotational pulse (yaw movement) around
the vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in
a direct and sport y steering action as the
car enters the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and when accelerating out of corners,
the rear differential lock ensures greater
driving stabilit y. With PT V, the differential
lock is regulated mechanically; with
Attack the corners.
Maintain good posture.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).

PT V Plus, it is regulated electronically and
the torque distribution is infinitely varia ble.
Whichever system is fit ted, it interacts

with Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM)
to improve driving stabilit y on a range
of surface conditions, including the wet
and snow.
For the driver, this means remarkable
stability, easier handling and outstanding
traction as well as greater agilit y at every
speed with precise steering and stable
load transfer characteristics. What else?
Unrivalled driving pleasure at every t wist
and turn.

Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.

With the hill-
hold function, you can
pull away without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects when
the vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient requiring intervention.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The 911 Carrera models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending
on the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g.
frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort
to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of
impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated not just sooner,
but with even greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models

are equipped as standard with the
Porsche Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP). It comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo airbags on each side. An integral
thorax airbag is located in each seat side
bolster, while the door panels each
contain an upwards-inflating head airbag.
Each thorax airbag has a volume of
10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres,
ensuring excellent protection in the event
of a side impact.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera

Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal even on irregular
road surfaces.
Increased protection is provided by
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system if the car were to
overturn. Two spring-loaded roll-over
bars are neatly incorporated behind
the rear seats. The roll- over sensor
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 roll- over
bars would be deployed instantly.

So does forward-looking technology.

Lights.
Composure | Safet y
The 911 Carrera models are equipped as
standard with Bi-Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system
and dynamic range control. The LED
front light units incorporate indicators,
day time running lights and position
lights. Automatic headlight activation is
also included as standard.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for the taillights, the high-level third
brake light, the licence plate illumination,
the rear direction indicators, the rear fog
light and – on all-wheel- drive models –
the rear light strip. LEDs provide bet ter
illumination and respond more quickly
to driver input.
In the event of sudden braking, the adap -
tive LED brake lights begin to pulsate.
If the vehicle is braked to a halt, the
hazard warning lights will switch on
automatically. The lighting system
fea tures an automatic switch-
off and

the ‘Welcome Home’ function.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option. Its
dynamic cornering light function swivels
the headlights towards the inside of a
bend, based on steering angle and road
speed, in order to illuminate more of the
road at tight bends and turns. Put simply,
the road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. Speed -sensitive head-
light range control is also part of the
PDLS as is the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights with Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).

Superior safet y meets sport y design in
the form of the LED main headlights with
PDLS+ which are available as optional
equipment. Integrated into each headlight
housing are four LED spots for the
day time running lights, and one LED light
ring. In addition to being efficient and
long-lasting, LED technology also creates
a light very similar to daylight and thus
helps to reduce driver fatigue. One special feature of PDLS+ is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead
as well as those of oncoming traffic.
Based on the data from the camera, the
dynam
ic main beam function then adapts
the headlight range accordingly. This continu
ous, stepless control means that
you are able to see the course of the
road, pedestrians and potential hazards
earlier without hindering other road
users.

Our identity is found under the bonnet,
in the design and behind the steering wheel.

Comfort.
Driving a 911 is first and foremost
about the feel of the road in the original,
unadulterated and direct sense. Is it
possible, then, to mention the 911 and
comfort in the same breath? To speak
of systems that make driving ‘more
agreeable’, or of materials that feel
‘pleasant ’ to the touch? Good question.
In reality, however, should anyone really
be forced to choose one over the other?
Let ’s introduce ourselves to the concept
of sport y comfort – dynamic performance
that maintains composure even when
pushed to the extreme.
Interior.
Engineering and st yle – and Porsche
identit y on the inside, as demonstrated
by the ascending centre console. In
t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: focus on the
driver. This is why the distance bet ween
the gear lever or selector and steering
wheel is extremely short and the operat -
ing logic, such as that of the t wo -zone
air conditioning system or the suspension
settings, is clear and uncomplicated.
You shouldn’t have to browse one sub -
menu after another. You should instead
be able to concentrate on what ’s
important: the road. Our materials are high- qualit y with a
sporty character. The steering wheel rim,
door pulls and armrests are in leather,
for instance. Alcantara has proven its
worth in motorsport and is used as
standard for the roof lining of the Coupé
models.
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige and Yachting
Blue for the interior, there is a wide

range of other personalisation options
available, including two-
tone colour
combinations or special colours and
materials such as carbon, aluminium
or high - qualit y wood.

SportDesign steering wheel
SportDesign steering wheel with gearshif t paddles
Sports steering wheel
In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important interface bet ween
the driver and the sports car. This is
why all available steering wheels feature
a high -grip steering wheel rim in smooth -
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full
-size airbag is integrated
as standard.
SportDesign steering wheel.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel

finish
leather, carbon or mahogany.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module
to inform you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions have been activated.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
left- and right -hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right
-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle and PDK shifts down. When PDK has
been combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the left-
and right -hand
spokes additionally feature a display
that tells you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions have been activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as
an option for the sports steering wheel
and multifunction steering wheels. The
heating is operated by a but ton on the
rear of the lower steering wheel spoke.

If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle, squab depth, fore/aft position,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all seat
positions on the driver’s side as well as,
for example, the set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.

c l u s t e r.

The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Sports bucket seats.1)
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we
can equip the seats (except for the
Sports bucket seats) with seat ventilation
on request. A slipstream effect is
pro duced by active ventilation of the
perfo
rated seat centre and backrest

and by passive aeration at the side
bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture and therefore makes for a dry
and pleas
ant seating environment, even
in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car and the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Carrera Coupé models increases
to 260 litres and, with a capacit y of
160 litres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models offer plent y of space for luggage,
too.
Child seats.1)
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.

ParkAssist (front and rear).
An enhanced version of Park Assist, with
four sensors in the front end, is available
as an option. The audible alert is
supplemented by a visual warning in the
central display screen, which shows a
graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in
t h e 911 Carrera Cabriolet models and
is available as an option for the
9 11 Carrera Coupé models. Featuring
four inconspicuous sensors in the rear
end, the system audibly alerts the driver
to the presence of obstacles detected
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached.
Reversing camera.
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist (front and
rear), and with CDR Plus audio system or
PCM) facilitates precise reverse parking
and manoeuvring. Help is provided in the
form of the camera image and the
dynamic, superimposed guidelines on the
central display screen, which illustrate
the predicted course of the vehicle given
the current position of the steering
wheel.
Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
are fitted as standard. Electrically folding
exterior mirrors with courtesy lighting
on both sides of the vehicle are available
as an option. By illuminating the area
in front of the doors, they make it easier
to find your way in the dark. An auto -
dimming function for the rear-view mirror
and exterior mirrors, with an integrated
rain sensor for the windscreen wipers,
is available as an option.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is available as an option for all
911 Carrera Coupé models. It opens
out wards so that it does not interfere
with headroom. Another advantage of
this special design is the large aperture
for increased driving pleasure under the
open sky. The t wo -position net-t ype wind
deflector protects against draught and
further reduces wind noise.
Glass slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sun -
roof is also available in tinted single -
glazed safet y glass. An integral electric
sunblind provides shade from unwanted
bright light. It is available in five different
colours. The design, headroom and aper -
ture of the glass roof are identical to
those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when closed,
the glass sunroof still gives you that
open- to- the- sky feeling.
