* Child restraint systems may not be used in conjunction with sport bucket seats.
Sport bucket seats.*
A car that is capable of such
extreme lateral loads requires a
seat with exceptional support. The
standard sport bucket seat has
manual fore/aft adjustment plus
two additional features rarely
encountered on comparable seat
designs: a folding backrest and
an integral thorax airbag in the
side support.The folding function enables easy
access to the rear luggage area.
The backrest pivots are positioned
high in the side bolsters, providing
optimum support for the torso,
pelvis and legs. This is the first
time ever that the lateral support
of a bucket seat has been com-
bined with a folding backrest.The backrest shell has a glass-fibre
reinforced plastic core and a
carbon-fibre surface with visible
weave pattern. This construction
provides excellent rigidity while
also reducing weight. The seat is
compatible with a six-point racing
harness.
The sport bucket seat features
black leather with Alcantara centre;
Dark Grey natural leather withAlcantara centre is also available
as an option. In conjunction with the
Clubsport package (see page 64),
it has a special flame-retardant
fabric finish for added safety.
Adaptive sports seats.
Adaptive sports seats in leather
with Alcantara centre are also
available as a no-cost option. This
alternative seat option combines
excellent comfort with first-rate
track performance. The compre-
hensive range of power adjustment
controls includes fore/aft position,
squab height, backrest angle and
lumbar support. The side bolsters
on the backrest and squab arepneumatically adjustable for the
perfect fit. This exceptional vari-
ability ensures generous comfort
on long-distance journeys or
precision support on the race-
track. A memory function includes
both exterior mirrors as well as all
seat settings on the driver’s side,
with the exception of the side bol-
sters. The adaptive sports seats
are also optionally available with
seat heating.
Storage compartments.
The everyday usability of the
911 GT2 is as important as its
performance, as evidenced by
the storage compartments in thecentre console and door panels.
Matching upholstered armrests
above the storage compart
ments
provide optimum driver comfort,
particularly on long-distance trips.
Twin cupholders for driver and
front passenger are neatly
concealed below the passenger
airbag. Underneath is a lockable
glove compartment with handy
CD storage.
Two 12-Volt sockets (including the
cigarette lighter) provide power
for all your accessories.

‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard lighting function
provides comfort and safety at the
push of a button. The low-beam
headlights are automatically
illuminated when the car is locked
or unlocked using the key remote.
The lights remain illuminated for
a predefined period, lighting your
way to or from the car. This delay
is user-adjustable via Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM) on vehicles with the optional
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is auto-
matically enabled whenever you
select reverse gear. Move too
close to a stationary object and a
warning signal is emitted. Continue
to reverse and the tone increases
in frequency. The distance is
measured by ultrasonic sensors
which are neatly concealed in the
rear bumper.
Cruise control.
This convenient option has an
effective range of 30 – 240 km / h
(19 – 149 mph). The system is
operated using a switch in a
separate control stalk on the
steering column and can even
be used in first gear.
HomeLink®
(garage door opener).
This optional garage door opener
is freely programmable and inte-
grated within the cockpit. It offers
remote control for up to three
garage, gate, home lighting and/or
alarm systems and is compatiblewith almost all garage and exterior-
door systems.
Automatically dimming interior
and exterior mirrors.
An auto-dimming function is
available as an option for the
911 GT2 for interior and exterior
mirrors. The package also includes
an integrated rain sensor for the
front wiper system.
Luggage compartment.
The volume of the luggage
compartment in the 911 GT2 is
105 litres. The entire compartment
is lined with high-quality, scratch-
resistant materials. The bulkhead
panelling conceals the amplifier
of the optional BOSE
®Surround
Sound System and the DVD drive
for the optional navigation module.
The additional 205-litre rear load-
space inside the car is easily
accessible thanks to the folding
sport bucket seats.
Anti-theft protection.
The 911 GT2 has an engine
immobiliser with in-key transpon-
der as well as a powerful alarm
system featuring contact-sensitive
exterior protection and radar-
based interior surveillance as stan-
dard. The alarm system is
activated and deactivated by a
remote control function in the
ignition key.
Vehicle tracking system.
The 911 GT2 can also be equipped
with an optional factory-fitted
preparation enabling future
installation of a vehicle trackingsystem obtainable from Porsche
Tequipment. This system allows
a stolen vehicle to be traced
throughout most of Europe, and
requires the installation of a
special wiring loom and a high-
capacity battery.
Chrono Package Plus.
The optional Chrono Package Plus
combines a dash-mounted
analogue/digital timer with a range
of useful functions. Lap or journey
times can be viewed, stored and
analysed using the performance
display in PCM. The information
available includes time elapsed
and distance travelled on the cur-
rent lap, as well as the number
oflaps completed and their
respec-
tive times. You can also view the
current fastest lap and remaining
range till empty. Driving times can
be recorded for any stretch of
road, and benchmark times can be
defined. Other useful

memory func-
tion, controlled via PCM, which
stores personal preferences for a
range of systems, including lights,
wipers, door locks and air condi-
tioning.
