Highlights 15
Make headway. Never surrender. Stay
ahead of the field. Those who pursue
challenging goals have to work hard for
them. Yet, there should always be room for
fun. And, of course, the same goes for
comfort.
In the pursuit of your goals, the new
911 will provide added motivation. Indeed,
the new sports exhaust system – the first
of its kind for any Porsche turbocharged
boxer engine – is characterised by its
impressive resonance and intense sports
car sound. And the two central tailpipes
evoke the atmosphere of the racetrack.The upgraded Sport Chrono Package
provides an even sportier tuning of the
chassis, engine and transmission. What ’s
new is the mode switch on the steering
wheel, derived from the 918 Spyder.
Four settings are available: Normal,
SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Custom. The
resem blance to a race car is striking -
and it's no coincidence.
Sport and comfort are combined on
the S models by rear-axle steering. For
even greater agility and driving
performance. A highly practical feature is the lift system.
It raises the front end of the vehicle by
approximately 40 mm so that kerbs, ramps
and car park entrances are no longer
insurmountable. This allows you to
concentrate on the challenges in the
911 that really matter: the sporty ones.
Our goals always have been sporty ones.
Sport and comfort.

Design 25
The interior of a Porsche is infused with
over 60 years of experience. You can feel
it: in the materials, which are elegant to the
touch and exquisitely made. You can see it:
in the sporty design. And it communicates
itself with every second of driving, thanks
to excellent ergonomics and comfort.
The ascending centre console is driver-
focussed, putting the most important
vehicle functions within short reach of the
steering wheel. The new Sports steering wheel speaks the language of motorsport.
Its forward-looking design is derived from
the 918 Spyder.
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of
the five round instruments with the rev
counter positioned in the centre. The
instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.6-
inch colour screen adds the modern touch.
Tradition meets innovation. The result?
Futurism, but of the Porsche kind.
How does one marry purism with style?

And tradition with the future?
Directly, with no detours.

Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM).
PASM is fit ted as standard in all 911 models
for the first time. This electronic damping
control system actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each wheel,
based on current road conditions and
driving style.
PASM has two modes, which can be
selected using a separate button on the
centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend
of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport ’
where the setup is much firmer.
The results are tangible: increased driving
stability, improved comfort and enhanced
performance.
Rear-axle steering.
Rear-axle steering is available on request
for all S models. Until now reserved
exclusively for the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3
models, it enhances performance and
everyday practicality in equal measure.
For particularly nimble handling combined
with a significant increase in driving
stability.
The advantage for day-to-day driving:
during low-speed manoeuvres, the system
steers the rear wheels in the opposite
direction to that of the front wheels. This
has the virtual effect of shortening the
wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced,
cornering turn-in becomes considerably more dynamic, and parking is noticeably
easier to manage.
The advantage for sporty driving: during
high-speed manoeuvres, the system steers
the rear wheels in the same direction as
that of the front wheels. Driving stability is
increased by the virtual extension of the
wheelbase and agility is enhanced by the
simultaneous steering of the front and rear
axles. All this has an impact on maximum
driving performance: an extremely positive
one.
The road to the future has its ups and downs.

And its fair share of twists and turns.

SPORT button.
The SPORT button enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is on
either comfort or sporty 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 PDK, upshifts take place at
higher engine speeds and downshifts
happen sooner. In addition, coasting mode
and the auto start/stop function are
automatically
deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
Adrenaline at the push of a button: the
optional Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts. For an even
sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and
transmission.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder. Four settings are available to
choose from: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS
and Custom, which enable you to adapt the
vehicle to the way you want to drive.

On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) switches to a sportier damping
setting and offers more direct steering into
corners.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has three additional functions.
The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be
used to achieve the best possible standing
start – a racing start. The second function
is the motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
In this mode, PDK is geared up for extremely
short shift times and optimum shift points
for the maximum acceleration available. The third function is brand new to the 911:
SPORT Response. Pressing the button in
the centre of the mode switch primes the
engine and transmission for the fastest
possible unleashing of power. In other
words, maximum responsiveness – not only
when overtaking.
PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented by
a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM
remaining active in the background. For a
further enhancement to your driving
experience.
