Interior design
Sporty ergonomics for ordinary driving.
Extraordinary comfort for sporty driving.
Interior design.
At Porsche, we don’t build everyday
sports cars, we build sports cars for
everyday use. How? By understanding
that great agilit y and maximum comfort
are not mutually exclusive but are, in
fact, aspects of a harmonious overall
concept.
This is especially true of the interior of
the 911. Sportiness, functionality and
high quality materials combine to form a
cohesive whole that is conducive to
dynamic driving, even during everyday
use. This becomes clearer the moment you
get in. The longer wheelbase
now of fers
25 mm more leg room in the front than
in previous 911 Carrera models, for
example.
Sportiness in harmony with comfort is
the theme which is reflected in the clever
ergonomics that characterise the entire
interior design. The materials used, the
layout of the controls and their operating
logic belong to a new generation of
sports car. Another new design for the
911 is the ascending centre console.
Its intelligent operating concept follows
a clear principle of direct simplicity. A classic 911 feature is the arrangement
of the five circular instruments with the
rev counter in the middle. The contempo
rary instrument cluster featuring a high
resolution 4.6 inch full VGA TFT colour
display enables the driver to view infor
mation from, for example, the adaptive
cruise control function, the audio system
or the new speed limit indicator.
Acoustics are an integral part of the
concept, particularly the engine sound.
Available as an option is the Burmester
®
High End Surround Sound System. Optimised for the 911 Carrera model
range, it features 12 loudspeakers and
a total output of 821 wat ts for a perfect
spatial sound.
The 911 proves that apparent opposites,
such as st yle and engineering or comfort
and performance, can go hand in hand.
For us, there is no contradiction and
certainly no need for compromise. After
all, a strong personalit y does not deny
the existence of opposites, it unites them.

Transmission
The long and winding road is where you’d like to be.
Sometimes, it pays to take the direct route.
Transmission.
The 7-speed manual gearbox.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shif t move
ments and an optimum transition from
one gear to the next. That ’s exactly what
you would expect of a Porsche manual
gearbox.
What you might not have expected is a
7 speed manual gearbox that combines
a high level of sport y performance with
an equally high level of efficiency and
offers extra comfort for longer journeys. It’s an exceptional innovation, and not
only in the sports car segment.
The design of this manual gearbox is
based in principle on that of Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). Gears 1 to 6 have
a sports ratio and top speed is reached
in 6th gear. The additional 7th gear, how
ever, has a long ratio, which reduces
torque and helps to reduce fuel consump
tion. Lower engine revs at fast driving
speeds also ensure a high level of com
fort
on long stretches of road. In addition
, a gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you actively conserve fuel.
Thanks to the elevated centre console,
the gear lever is within easy reach –
ideal for sport y gear changes.
Whether you select a sporty or comfortable
gear, the way you reach your destination
is in your own hands.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 143/145.

Electromechanical power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency
is a system that works only when it is
needed, and then does so in a particularly
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our
engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis
tics show that a car drives in a straight
line 90 % of the time. Unlike conventional
hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses
energy only when the steering wheel is
actually turned. The absence of hydraulic
fluid also makes the system more
bene ficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10 % is concerned, we’re
optimally prepared as the steering system
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable
steering ratio and responds sensitively
and directly at the same time as providing
customary agility, a high level of comfort
and precisely selected feedback from the
road. Our definition of efficient.Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the comfort enhancing
power steering system, is available as an
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible,
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer
ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds,
the
steering ratio of Power steering Plus
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.
SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the SPORT button
enables you to select a suspension setup
where the emphasis is on either comfort
or sport y performance. At the push of a
button, the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode and
the auto start/stop function are automati
cally deactivated. If fitted, the optional
sports exhaust system is also activated
automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available
as an option. This integrated system
provides simultaneous enhancement for
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.

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.

Engineering that takes you forward:
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module and a
high resolution 7 inch colour touchscreen,
fit ted as standard. PCM is your control
centre for audio, navigation and commu
nication 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. Available as an option is the
BOSE® Surround Sound System with a
total output of 445 wat ts. In short, it
delivers powerful audio playback com
bined 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 manufacturer
based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. With a total output of 821
watts,
it ensures an incredible audio
experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional
sound systems and also saves weight.

Ergonomics, st yle and sound. Sports car
technology, intelligently combined. The instrument cluster with a high
resolution 4.6 inch TFT colour screen
provides you with a continuous stream of
data from the on board computer, such
as trip mileage, journey time or average
fuel consumption. It also displays the
navigation system map, delivers various
warnings, including alerts from the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system and, on 911 Carrera 4 models, tells you the
current front /rear axle torque distribution.
You can also use it to carry out individual
set tings.

2) 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 comforta
ble 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

understands complete addresses when
entered as navigation destinations, as
well as phonebook entries and the names
of radio stations. Even lists can be
browsed by voice command. For added
convenience, there is no need to ‘train’
the system.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging on every journey of mileage,
route distance, date, time, starting
location and destination. Data can be
downloaded to a USB stick and evaluated
on your home PC using the soft ware
supplied. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks
as specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Mobile phone preparation.
To enable a Bluetooth® connection for
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP),
2) an optional
mobile phone preparation is available. It
enables you to leave your mobile phone
tucked away. The PCM is able to control
only the basic functions of the mobile
phone. The GSM connection is estab
lished through the aerial of the mobile
phone.
2)
Voice control system.
If you require route guidance, need to
make a phone call or want to listen to the
radio, then why not just say so? Almost
all of the functions of PCM can be con
trolled using the optional voice control
system with word by word input. In the
majorit y of cases, you can simply say
the name of the menu item as seen on
Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions and the
start and end of no overtaking zones.
The information is recorded using a cam
era and is shown on the colour TFT dis
play in the instrument cluster or via the
PCM screen. If a traffic sign is missed –
for example due to heav y rain or dark
ness – the speed limit stored in the navi
gation module is automatically displayed.
1) TMC Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.2) See notes on page 134.3) In MPEG 2 format.
The DVD audio drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3 compatible. Audio play
back of video DVDs is also supported.
A six disc CD/ DVD autochanger integrat
ed into PCM is available as an option.
The universal audio interface (USB) in
the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source.
Recharging is also supported. Once
connected, your iPod
® or USB stick is
then conveniently and safely operated
via the PCM, the optional multifunction
steering wheel or the optional voice
control system.
You can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook via the USB port. You can also
transfer up to 10,000 tracks in MP3 format to the internal hard drive (or
Jukebox) of the PCM and play them
from there. Podcasts and audiobooks
are recognised and played and cover
art is displayed.
The navigation module in PCM features
a high speed hard drive and allows you
to choose bet ween a 2D display and
a 3D perspective. In some regions, it is
possible to display the terrain (with an
overlaid satellite map) and buildings in
3D. Split screen mode enables you to
view t wo functions at once, such as the
current navigation map and a list of
symbols that represent the next driving
manoeuvre.
The navigation module also has a
dynamic route guidance function which
takes into account official traffic
messages (TMC) and additional traffic
flow sensors (TMC Pro).

Digital radio.
The standard digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto
matically switches bet ween digital and
analogue to ensure optimum reception
of the selected station.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card direct
ly into the integral SIM card reader of
the PCM, calls can be made using the
hands free facilit y. For even more con
venience, the Bluetooth
® capability of
a mobile phone can be used to make
calls via the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
2)
Once automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched off to
conserve battery 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 the PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, with
out it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also 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.
