Wheels.
The 911 Carrera models are equipped
with 19­inch 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 20­inch 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).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is avail­
able on request. This safet y system 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 differential
(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 st yle.
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.

The 911 Carrera models are equipped

as standard with Bi ­Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system
and dynamic range control. With dipped
or main beam, the road ahead is
illuminated more uniformly.
The LED front light units incorporate
direction indicators, daytime running
lights and position lights.
Automatic headlight activation is also
included as standard. The moment it gets
dark, the daytime running lights switch
off and the dipped beam headlights
switch on automatically.
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 adaptive LED brake lights
begin to pulsate. If the vehicle is braked
to a halt, the hazard warning lights will switch on automatically, alerting following
traffic more quickly to a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automa­
tic
switch
­off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function. It ’s good to know what ’s around
the next corner or on the way to your
front door.
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.
The system also of fers speed ­sensitive
headlight range control. With adaptive
light systems, it is possible for the maxi ­
mum range of the dipped beams to be
increased as a function of the speed of

automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage 2 is designed for
driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 80 mph, the range
is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse
weather function, activated whenever the
rear fog light is switched on. It reduces
the effect of reflection phenomena in
poor visibilit y conditions to avoid the risk
of the driver being dazzled.

module and a high ­resolution 7 ­inch
colour touchscreen. PCM is your
control centre for audio, navigation
and communication functions.Instruments.
Sporty not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five circular instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately.
Their st yling is t ypically Porsche with the
rev counter exactly where you would
expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y
is sound. Fit ted as standard, the Sound
Package Plus offers outstanding perfor
­
mance with a totaloutput of 235 wat ts.
Available as an option is the BOSE
®
Surround Sound System with a total out ­
put of 445 wat ts. In short, it delivers
powerful audio playback combined with
an impressive spatial sound. No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the
optional High
­End Surround Sound System
from Burmester
®, the bespoke manufac ­
turer based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. With a total output of
821 wat ts, it ensures an incredible audio
experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional
sound systems and also saves weight.

Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sun
­
roof is available as optional equipment
for all 911 Carrera models. It opens out ­
wards so that it does not interfere with
headroom. Another advantage of the
novel design is the large aperture for
increased driving pleasure under the
open sky.
The two ­position net ­type 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.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in the
911 Carrera Cabriolet models and is
available as an option for the 911 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 intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidit y as the obstacle is approached.
An enhanced version of Park Assist, with
four sensors in the front end, is available
as an option. The audible alert is supple ­
mented by a visual warning in the central
display screen, which shows a graphical
representation of the vehicle from over ­
head.
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 wind ­
screen wipers, is available as an option.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume in the
911 models is 135 litres – 125 litres on
the 911 Carrera all ­wheel ­drive models.
The luggage compartment is fully trimmed
in scratch ­resistant materials.
Roof transport system.
Available as an option for the Coupé
models, the roof transport system in
aluminium is aerodynamically efficient,
very light weight and easy to fit. A range
of at tachments is available, such as a
roof box, a bike carrier or a ski/snow ­
board carrier. Maximum roof load is
75 kg.
