seats PORSCHE 911 GTS 2010 5.G Information Manual

At Porsche, sound will always
be crucial to the design concept.
The sports exhaust system is
characterised by audible and
also visible hallmarks: power ful,
resonant and unadulterated.
The tailpipes have a nanocoated,
polished finish on the inside, and
a black painted finish on the out ­
side. For contrast, the rear trim
panel between the tailpipes is
also finished in black. Whilst the 911 Carrera GTS

models are part of the 911 range,
they explore a dif ferent direc ­
tion. As an expression of this
individualit y, the air filter casing,
rear end, door sill guards and
doors all carry the ‘Carrera GTS’
logo.
The interior focuses on the
essentials. These models are
all about sport, so there is no
place for unnecessar y weight.
Such as the rear seats, which
we have deleted from the Coupé
model. If you think
differently, it
is available to order at no extra
cost. The three
­spoke ‘SportDesign’
steering wheel is not only
standard, it is exclusive to the
new 911 Carrera GTS models.
It is both minimalist and func ­
tional, for even sportier appeal.
Materials are important. They
make a distinct first impression:
excellent functionality and
an authentic motorsport feel.
Alcantara – non­slip, washable
and easy to maintain – covers
the steering wheel, the gear
and handbrake levers, the seat
centres and, in the Coupé,
the rooflining. This material is
designed to cope with the
stresses of heav y use. Just
like the sports seats, which
of fer firm lateral support in any
driving situation.
The greatest challenger in sport
is, ultimately, oneself. This was
the starting point for our devel ­
opment of the 911 Carrera GTS
models. We have made them
leaner and more muscular, giv ­
ing a more distinctive contour.

Fog lights.
Bi­Xenon headlights with

dynamic range control are fit ted
as standard. Their beams are
around t wice as bright as those
of conventional halogen lamps.
Light output is improved and the
road illuminated more uniformly
on both dipped and main beam,
helping to minimise driver
fatigue. A headlight cleaning
function is also incorporated.
Dynamic cornering lights.
Available as an option, dynamic
cornering lights offer particularly
effective illumination of the
road ahead, especially through
bends. Sensors continuously
monitor the speed, lateral acce­
leration and steering lock and,
from these variables, calculate
the course of the bend. This
Lighting concept.
The front light units incorporate
the direction indicators, the
LED day time running lights and
position lights, which provide
outstanding visibilit y and create
an imposing look that is unmis ­
takable even in the dark. LEDs
are also used for the direction
indicators, the taillights and
brake lights, the additional brake
light in the rear spoiler, and the
rear fog light. LEDs offer several
advantages. Importantly, they
provide effective illumination
and respond more quickly to
driver input.
determines the angle of illumina ­
tion for the dipped beam lights,
up to a maximum of 15 degrees.
On t wisting roads, this means
the course of the road and
obstacles can be seen earlier
by the driver.
Driver and passenger airbags.
The t wo full ­size airbags can be
inflated in t wo stages, depend
ing
on the severit y of the impact. In
a low ­speed crash, the airbags
are only partially inflated, there ­
by minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The Posche Side Impact
Pro
tection System (POSIP), fit ­
ted as standard, consists of side
impact protection beams in the
doors and t wo side airbags on
each side, namely a thorax air ­
bag located in the side of each
backrest and a head airbag
incorporated within each door.
Each airbag has an approximate
volume of 8 litres, ensuring
excellent protection in the event
of side impact.
Additional safet y features
include the headrests which
form an integral part of each
seat, an energy ­absorbing
steering column, three ­point
seat belts with height adjust ­
ment (Coupé models only), seat
belt pre ­tensioners and force
limiters and energy ­absorbing
elements in the dashboard.
Passive safet y in the Cabriolet.
Despite their modest weight, the
torsional rigidit y and flexural
strength of the 911 Carrera GTS
Cabriolet models are exemplary.
Body flexing is minimal even on
the most poorly surfaced roads.
Additional brace members at
each of the rear wheel arches
provide additional reinforcement
to the bodyshell. Increased
protection is provided by an
automatically deploying roll ­over
protection system 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 lon ­
gitudinal forces. If the car were
to overturn, the roll ­over bars
would be deployed instantly.

high ­grip steering wheel rim
and outstanding ergonomics.
In conjunction with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),

Materials.
A lcant ara1) translates the exterior
styling of the 911 Carrera GTS

into the interior. It is functional,
hardwearing and proven on the
race track. In a word, sporty. It
is mainly used to cover features
requiring extra protection against
wear and tear: the gear and
handbrake levers, the steering
wheel rim, the door handles,
the door storage compartment
lids, the seat centres and, in
the Cabriolet models, the centre
of the rear bench seat. In con ­
