Bodyshell structure.
The reinforced bodyshell of the
new 911 GT2 RS contains a highly
resilient passenger cell which
offers exceptional crash protection,
whilst still ensuring the vehicle
remains lightweight. A system of
longitudinal and transverse mem-
bers, patented by Porsche, is
used at the front. In the event of a
collision, this distributes the forces
and minimises deformation of the
passenger cell. An extremely rigid
bulkhead cross-member made from
super high-strength steel absorbs
impact forces from the front
longitudinal members to protect both front footwells. Reinforced
doors contribute to the overall
rigidity of the car. In the event
of a front impact, an additional
load path is used to channel ener-
gy through the upper part of the
bodyshell and thus further protect
the passenger cell. Easily replace-
able collision elements protect
the bodyshell in minor accidents.
The high proportion of aluminium
alloys and high-strength steel
used contributes towards the
good power-to-weight ratio of
the 911 GT2 RS.
Driver and passenger airbags.
In the 911 GT2 RS, the airbag
technology has been adapted for
the car. The full-size front airbags
are activated in t wo stages
depending on the seriousness and
type of accident (e.g. frontal or
diagonal from the front). In low-
speed collisions, the airbag is
only partially inflated, thereby mini-
mising discomfort to occupants.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
The standard POSIP system con-
sists of side impact protection
in the doors and side airbags for
the head. The large volume of the
airbags provides protection over
the whole seat-adjustment range.
Padded elements on the door
panels also protect the occupants.
The optional sports bucket seats
and adaptive sports seats have
a thorax airbag instead of the pad-
ded elements.
Other safet y features in the new
911 GT2 RS are the headrests
integrated in the seat backs, a
safety steering column, three-point
seat belts in red with belt height
adjustment, belt tensioner and belt
force limiter, energy absorbing
structures in the dashboard and
fire resistant materials throughout
the interior.

Instruments.
The instruments in the new
911 GT2 RS are designed for
pure sports performance. They
provide quickly accessible infor-
mation and are ergonomic and
clearly visible – just like the rev
counter with a titanium blue dial
located in the centre of the five
round instruments. The instru-
ment needles and dial markings
are coloured yellow. For optimum
acceleration, the gearshift indica-
tor is located in the rev counter.
The integrated on-board compu-
ter provides you with information
on boost pressure, average fuel
consumption, speed and distance
lef t to travel.
Interior materials.
The materials used in the interior
meet the demands placed
on a thoroughbred racing car.
Alcantara, for example, which
offers exceptional grip and
easy-care properties.
So red Alcantara has been used
wherever there is hand contact.
On the steering wheel, gear lever,
handbrake lever and the door
handles. Also on the arm rests
in the door panels, the storage
compartment lid in the central
console, the roof lining and the
centre of the seats.
It provides a sport y contrast with
the otherwise predominant colour
in the interior: pure black.This sporting trend continues
with a material that is typical of
motorsport: carbon. The standard
lightweight bucket seats are made
from carbon and are covered in
leather/Alcantara. The badges on
the dashboard and the door sills
have a carbon finish and bear the
‘RS’ logo.
At no extra cost a black leather
trim with either red or black
Alcantara is available.
Steering wheel.
The three-spoke GT2 RS steering
wheel has manual reach and
height adjustment. It is upholstered
in Alcantara to ensure a good grip.
A striking feature is the yellow top
centre marking on the steering
wheel.
Lightweight bucket seats.
Fit ted as standard in the new
911 GT2 RS are lightweight carbon
bucket seats (page 32). They are
designed to provide exceptionally
good side support and feature
manual fore/aft adjustment. In
place of a thorax airbag, the door
panels have no storage pocket and
are padded. The lightweight bucket
seats together weigh only about
20 kg – for a noticeable weight
reduction. The seats are covered
with black leather with the seat
centres in red Alcantara.
Sports bucket seats.
Available as an option are sports
bucket seats (page 32) with a
folding backrest, integrated thorax
airbag and manual fore/aft adjust-
ment. The backrest shell is made
from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic with a carbon
surface. Depending on the
trim, the seats are covered in
leather/Alcantara in black/red
or black/black.
Adaptive sports seats.
Available as a no-cost option in
the new 911 GT2 RS are adaptive
sports seats with thorax airbag
(page 32). They feature electric
fore/aft, height and seat squab
angle adjustment and the side
bolsters on the seat and backrest
can be adjusted individually.
For the perfect fit to provide
side support when cornering
and greater comfort on straight
stretches. Depending on the

trim, the seats are covered with
leather/Alcantara in black/red
or black/black.
Completely free space.

CDR-30 audio system.
The new 911 GT2 RS is fitted as
standard with the CDR-30 audio
system with 5-inch (monochrome)
display and MP3 compatible CD
player.
The FM twin tuner with RDS diver-
sity has a total of 30 memory
presets, dynamic autostore and
speed - dependent volume control.
And, of course, great sound. This
is provided by the four loudspeak-
ers and an integrated 2 x 25 Watt
amplifier.
Or you can opt to delete the
CDR-30 for a further weight saving.
Sound Package Plus.
For discerning ears: the optional
Sound Package Plus. Nine high-
quality loudspeakers and an exter-
nal amplifier with a total output
of 235 Watts provide a sound
experience that is in perfect
harmony with the interior space.
The sound set tings are adjusted
via the CDR-30 audio system
or the optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM).
PCM including navigation
module.
If required, in conjunction with
the Sound Package Plus, you

can also have Porsche Communi-
cation Management (PCM) for the
911 GT2 RS. This efficient central
information and communication
system is impressively versatile
and surprisingly easy to use. The main feature is the 6.5-inch
colour touchscreen with a durable,
easy-to-clean coating. It is func-
tional, innovative and easy to use.
Its very clear layout – a maximum
of five list entries per page –
means it is reliable and quick
to
use. You can also operate
PCM using the buttons on the
right- hand side.
For radio listeners, there are up
to 42 presets, an FM t win tuner
frequency diversit y with RDS which
constantly scans for the best
signal for the selected station.
The integrated single CD/ DVD
player supports the MP3 format.
The GPS navigation module
in corporated in PCM has a hard
drive with map data for most
European countries. For rapid
route calculation, always with a
choice of three alternative routes.
When viewing a map, you can choose between a 3D perspective
and a 2D display which now also
shows height profiles. In split-
screen mode, in addition to the
current map view, you can also
display a list of icons that repre-
sent dynamic route guidance.
Available as an option for PCM
is the quad-band GSM telephone
module with a Bluetooth
® inter-
face, which is very easy to use and
has improved speech quality.
For both PCM and the CDR-30
audio system there is an optional
mobile phone preparation kit
for the Bluetooth
® connection of
mobile phones which only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP).

Universal audio interface.
Also available for PCM and
CDR-30 is a universal audio inter-
face. You can use this to connect
your iPod®, a USB stick/ MP3
player or any other audio source.
The iPod
® or USB stick is easily
operated via PCM.
Chrono Package for CDR-30.
The optional Chrono Package
includes a swivelling, dashboard-
mounted analogue and digital stop-
watch. The analogue display shows
the elapsed hours, minutes and
seconds. Seconds, tenths of sec-
onds and hundredths of seconds
appear on one display – while at
the same time there is a digital
display on the instrument cluster.
