Drive 51
The essential feature of all 911 all-wheel
drive models: enhanced Porsche Traction
Management (PTM).
Derived from the 911
 Turbo, the
electronically controlled and fully variable
multi-plate clutch distributes drive force
between the permanently driven rear
axle and the front axle even faster and
more precisely than ever before.
The driving state of the vehicle is
continuously monitored so that it is
possible to respond to different driving
situations. Sensors are used to collect a
range of data, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and
longitudinal acceleration of the car and
the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten
to spin under acceleration, a greater
proportion of drive force is transmit ted
to the front by a more powerful
engagement of the multi-plate clutch.
In this way, PTM, working in conjunction
with Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), always ensures the appropriate
distribution of force necessary for
excellent driving performance and
particularly well-balanced handling at

the limit.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
All 911 models are equipped with
enhanced Porsche Stability Management
(PSM) as standard. PSM maintains
stabilit y even at the limits of dynamic
driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor 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 and initiates strategic braking of
individual wheels to prevent you from
deviating from your intended line.
Under acceleration on inconsistent
surfaces, PSM improves traction using
the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR) functions.
The result is a high level of driving
stability and safety – and extraordinary
agilit y at the same time.

Airbags and Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The new 911 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.
All new 911
models are also 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.
Roll-over protection.
In the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models,
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system offers added
protection 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. The instant a potential
roll- over is detected, it initiates deployment
of the roll-over bars within fractions of a
second. For the 911 Targa 4 and
911 Targa 4S, added roll- over safet y is
provided by a steel protection system
concealed behind the aluminium trim of
the Targa roll bar.

Comfort 85
Climate control.
All models feature two-zone automatic
climate control as standard, offering an
enhanced ventilation effect and separate
temperature controls for the driver and
front passenger.
An active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an automatic air-
recirculation function permanently
monitors air quality, reduces humidity
and switches from fresh to recirculated
air when required. A demister function
keeps the windows clear in cold weather.
In warmer weather, strong sunlight is detected by a solar sensor, for which the
air conditioning system automatically
compensates in order to maintain the
comfort of both the driver and front
p a s s e n g e r.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is available as an option for the
911
Coupé models. It opens out wards so
that it does not interfere with headroom.
Another advantage of this innovative
design is the particularly large aperture for increased driving pleasure under the
open sky. The net-t ype wind deflector
protects against draught and further
reduces wind noise.
Slide/tilt glass sunroof.
On request, the electrically adjustable
slide/tilt sunroof is available in tinted
toughened safet y glass. An integral
electric roll-up sunblind provides shade
from unwanted bright light. The build,
headroom and aperture specifications of
the glass sunroof are otherwise identical
to those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof.
A fresh wind blowing through the sports car segment

has some decidedly pleasant side effects.

Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
this enhanced version of cruise control
actively regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with the speed of the
vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200  m.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly, the system issues an
audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by
a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation
of targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to
achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide. With the new 911, coasting is now
possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor
the areas to the rear of the vehicle and
the blind spots on either side. Above a
speed of 9 mph, the system issues a
visual warning signal in the door mirror
panel whenever a vehicle rapidly
approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In
this way, Lane Change Assist improves
comfort and safety, particularly on
motorways. However, the system does
not actively intervene to control the
vehicle and can be deactivated at any
time.
ParkAssist.
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.
ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to
include monitoring of the front end with
four additional sensors. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display screen, which shows
a graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.
Help is provided in the form of the camera

Infotainment for a new generation:
enhanced Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including online
navigation module with real-time traffic
information
is your control centre for
audio, navigation
and communication
functions – and it ’s standard in every
model.
PCM is operated by means of the new
7-inch multi-touchscreen or by voice
control. Alternatively, you can use the
conventional rotary pushbutton controls.
In response to hand movement, an
integral proximit y sensor activates the screen to display the relevant menu
contents, which you can then operate
easily using multi-touch gestures. With
its high-quality glass surface, PCM is the
aesthetically perfect addition to the
centre console.
Equally user-friendly is the new navigation
system – offering real-time traffic data.
Based on this information, roads in map
view are highlighted green, yellow or
red,
 depending on volume of traffic. In
addition, the traffic information is
continuously updated and, thanks to
dynamic route guidance, your journey is
adapted accordingly.
Another word for pioneering?
Trailblazing.
