Sport Button
Standard on all new 911 Turbo models,
the Sport but ton enables you to select
a suspension setup to emphasize either
comfort or sport y performance. At
the push of a but ton, the electronic
engine management system switches
the engine mapping to offer an even
sharper response. In conjunction with
the Sport Chrono Package (standard
in the 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet), the overboost
function is then active and the dynamic
engine mounts become much firmer.
In Sport mode, PDK ensures that
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts happen sooner.
Coasting mode and the Auto Start
Stop function are deactivated.
Sport Chrono Package Including
Dynamic Engine Mounts
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is standard in
the 911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the new 911 Turbo. This
integrated system provides simultaneous
enhancement for the chassis,
including rear-axle steering, engine,
transmission, and aerodynamics.
The main features include a digital
and analog stopwatch mounted on the
dashboard, a performance display in the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system, the Sport Plus but ton,
and the overboost function.
Activate Sport Plus mode and here’s what
happens: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
suspension management, becomes more responsive. PASM and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC)—standard in the
new 911 Turbo S—switch to Sport Plus
mode for a firmer suspension set ting,
more direct steering while cornering, and
increased roll stabilization. The rear-axle
steering also reacts more directly—for
even more agile steering. As part of
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A),
the automatic adjustment of the front
and rear spoilers is also impacted in
the performance setting in Sport Plus
mode. So you can make full use of the
performance potential of your 911 Turbo.
In Sport Plus mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the car
i

s
still in Sport Plus mode. Although, for
safet y, it ’s still there in the background. With the Sport or Sport Plus but ton
active, under full acceleration, the
maximum boost pressure in the
lower and medium speed ranges
is now temporarily increased by
approximately
2 psi: the overboost.
Engine torque is also boosted
by 37 lb.-ft. for a short time—to
524 lb.-ft. in the 911 Turbo and the
911 Turbo Cabriolet. In the 911 Turbo S
models, it goes up to 553 lb.-ft.
The Sport Chrono Package has t wo
additional functions. The first is
Launch Control, which helps achieve
optimal acceleration from a standing
start. The second function is the
motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
Using this, PDK optimizes shift
points to the shortest possible shift
times for maximum acceleration.

The chassis on the new 911 Turbo
features a longer wheelbase and
an even wider track. But make no
mistake: The 911 Turbo is still about
shortening distances: bet ween entry
and exit, bet ween one cit y and the next,
bet ween you and driving pleasure.
Changes to the chassis dimensions on
the new 911 Turbo enable smoother high-
speed maneuvers and exceptionally high
levels of stability. Its cornering agility
can scarcely be described in words. The new rear-axle steering transforms
the cornering feel of the new
911 Turbo. Handling is much more
responsive at low speeds. And at
higher speeds, stabilit y is increased.
Other contributions to the 911 Turbo
driving experience are made by its
chassis control systems: Porsche
Stability Management (PSM), Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC), which is standard in the new
911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the 911 Turbo and
the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
Each of these systems is detailed
in the following pages. For now,
all you need to know is: Longer
and wider is a good thing.
Longer and wider, it still gets to the point in the shortest amount of
time possible.

2 Stabilizing effect of rear-axle steering
Power | Chassis
Rear-Axle Steering
Porsche engineers have always factored
in the positive effect of passive rear-
wheel steering—the slight articulation
of the rear wheels to “ toe in” or “ toe
out ” when cornering. Thanks to the new
rear-axle steering that ’s standard on all
new 911 Turbo models, that effect is no
longer passive. Two electromechanical
actuators located on the rear axle
steer the rear wheels of the new
911 Turbo models up to approximately
2.8 degrees in the same or opposite
direction as the steering angle on the
front axle, depending on speed. At speeds of up to 31 mph, 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, steering into corners
becomes much more dynamic, and
parking is noticeably easier.
At speeds above 50 mph, the system
steers the rear wheels in the same
direction as that of the front wheels.
The effect is a virtual extension of
the wheelbase for increased stability
during high-speed maneuvers—a
cruising-speed lane change on
the interstate, for example.Bet ween 31 and 50 mph, the
steering direction is constantly
changing, depending on the driving
conditions. Thanks to the excellent
stabilizing properties of rear-axle
steering, it has also been possible
to make the steering ratio on the
front axle more direct around the
central position. The advantage is
greater agilit y at higher speeds.
There is no contradiction between
stability and agility, performance,
and everyday practicalit y. The new
rear-axle steering results in greater
maneuverability in day-to-day
driving—and a clearly noticeable
increase in maximum performance.

rbo without PDCC (i llustration) |
2 Fast cornering with the 911 Tu rbo S w ith PDCC (illustration)
PDCC optimizes camber using
hydraulic stabilizing actuators in
the form of cylinders. Lateral roll is
counteracted by forces generated
at each individual wheel, based on
steering angle and lateral acceleration.
How does this translate to the
driving experience? More dynamic
performance with optimized turn-in and
stable load transfer characteristics.
And increased ride comfort. Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
All new 911 Turbo models come with
enhanced Porsche Stability Management
(PSM). It helps maintain stability
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. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to help restore stability.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC)
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is standard on 911 Turbo S models and
available as an option on 911 Turbo
models. PDCC is an active anti-roll
system that suppresses lateral body
movement during cornering maneuvers
and helps minimize the lateral instability
of the vehicle on uneven ground. The
result is a car with improved roadholding
and more dynamic performance.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the Automatic Brake Differential
(ABD) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR).
When the Sport Plus mode of the
Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow
a more assertive driving st yle.
PSM can be deactivated. But for your
safety, it is automatically reactivated
only if you brake hard enough that
either of the front wheels (in Sport
Plus mode, both of the front wheels)
requires ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.

Body
The innovative bodyshell of the new
911 Turbo models fulfills t wo structural
design requirements: first, excellent
driving dynamics due to the body’s
extremely high rigidit y. Second, a
savings in vehicle weight, primarily due
to its intelligent lightweight construction.
To meet the second requirement, we
employed state-of-the-art techniques
for combining various materials in order
to utilize specific material properties
exactly where they are needed.
Take the bodyshell, for example. It uses
very thin—but extremely rigid—sheets
of steel. Aluminum and magnesium
were utilized extensively in areas
including the roof, underbody, doors,
engine compartment, and luggage compartment lids. Magnesium, which
is a particularly lightweight material,
was also selected for the cockpit
and center console support beam.
Reducing the overall weight—i.e.,
improving the power-to-weight ratio—
translates directly into the aim of
increasing performance, whether
that ’s measured by the acceleration,
steering, or braking. And it ’s measurable
another way, too: at the fuel pump.
Reduced fuel consumption.
For the driver, reducing the weight
of the 911 Turbo results in a high
level of comfort as well. Vibration-
damping characteristics are
excellent and, compared to the
previous model, torsional stiffness
has increased up to 25 percent to
create even sportier handling.
Airbags and the Po
rsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) System
The airbag technology in the new 911 Turbo
models provides full-size driver and front-
passenger airbags, which are inflated in t wo
stages depending on the severit y and t ype
of accident. In less serious accidents, the
airbags are only partially inflated to help
minimize discomfort to the occupants.
Another standard feature is the Porsche
Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system.
This system comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo
airbags on each side, an integral thorax
airbag located in each seat side bolster,
and a head airbag contained in each of
the door panels. Knee airbags are also
standard on all 911 Turbo models.
Rollover Protection in the
Cabriolet Models
Despite their light weight, the 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal, especially when
compared with driving most other open-
top sports cars on uneven road surfaces.
In the event of a 911 Turbo Cabriolet
model rolling over, additional protection
is provided by a supplemental safet y
roll bar protection system that deploys
automatically. The two spring-loaded
rollover bars are located behind
the back seats. The rollover sensor
continuously monitors the car’s pitch
and roll, lateral and longitudinal
acceleration, and contact with the road.
In an emergency, it deploys the rollover
bars within a fraction of a second.

1 911 Turbo interior in Espresso
With the new 911 Turbo models, our
engineers have pushed forward into
the extreme performance range. The
fact that the driver can remain quite
composed is also due to the answers
they have found to the questions about
sportiness, ergonomics, and comfort.
Interior
A Porsche interior is never frivolous,
always direct. In the new 911 Turbo,
clever technology and clear operating
logic allow the driver to experience
all that makes this the benchmark for
Porsche performance, as evident at once
from the ascending center console. In t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: Focus on the
driver. It ’s why the distance bet ween
the gear selector and steering wheel is
extremely short, and the operating logic
of systems such as the dual-zone air
conditioning or the suspension is clear
and uncomplicated. You shouldn’t have to
browse one submenu after another. You
should instead be able to concentrate on
what ’s singularly important: the road.
Materials of high qualit y define the sport y
character of each 911 Turbo model.
The standard Leather package includes
Leather seats, dashboard, and door and
side trims. Alcantara
® has proven its
worth in motorsport and is now standard
for the roof liner on the Coupe models.
The exclusive two-tone interior in Black
and Carrera Red is reserved especially
for the 911 Turbo S models. Dashboard,
center console, and door panel trim
strips in Carbon are standard in these
models (available as an option for the
911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet).
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige, and Yachting
Blue for the interior, there is a wide range
of other personalization options available, including two-tone color combinations
or special colors and materials such as
Carbon, Aluminum, or high-quality Wood.
Engineering that takes you forward: the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system with navigation module
and a high-resolution 7-inch color
touchscreen. PCM is your control
center for audio, navigation, and
communication functions. It’s fitted as
standard in the new 911 Turbo models.

Power Sport Seats
When it comes to seating, the goals of
high performance are t ypically at odds
with the desire for comfort. But the seats
in the new 911 Turbo manage to serve
both goals equally well. The Sport seats
that are standard in the new 911 Turbo
and the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet offer
full power adjustment of seat height,
backrest angle, seat cushion angle, and
seat cushion depth, as well as fore/aft
position, and four-way lumbar support.

for the rear seats as standard.
Seat Heating and Seat Ventilation
Seat heating is available for all seats
as an option at no extra charge. Seats
are heated in the seat cushion, the
backrest, and, for the front seats,
the side bolsters. In conjunction with
seat heating, we can equip the seats
with seat ventilation on request. A slipstream effect is produced by active
ventilation of the perforated seat center
and backrest and by passive aeration
at the side bolsters. This evaporates
perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.

Light Design Package
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the over-
head console and in the areas of the
rear seats, door openers, door storage
compartments, and front foot wells.
Porsche Entry & Drive
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle
or approach the luggage compartment,
the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door and the
luggage compartment lid unlock. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch. To lock the vehicle, you simply press
the but ton on the outside of the door
handle. Porsche Entry & Drive then locks
the vehicle and activates the engine
immobilizer and steering-column lock.
Glass Tilt/Slide Sunroof
For the 911 Turbo Coupe
models, a power-adjustable tilt /
slide sunroof is available in tinted
single-glazed safety glass.
An integral power sunblind provides
shade from unwanted bright light. The
design, headroom, and aperture of
the glass roof are identical to those
of the steel tilt /slide sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when
closed, the glass sunroof still gives
you that open-to-the-sky feeling.
Reversing Camera
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist front and
rear) facilitates reverse parking and
maneuvering. Help is provided in the
form of a high-contrast color image
with dynamic guidelines on the PCM
screen, which shows the predicted
course of the vehicle based on the
current position of the steering wheel.
Cruise Control
For greater driver comfort on long
stretches of road, this automatic
speed control function is standard on
the 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
Cruise control operates above 19 m p h

and is activated using a but ton on
the steering-column control stalk.
Adaptive Cruise Control Including
Po

rsche Active Safe (PAS)
Available as an option, this cruise
control function regulates your speed
according to the distance bet ween
your vehicle and the vehicle in front.
A radar sensor monitors the road
ahead at up to a distance of 656 feet.
If you have set a cruising speed but
have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly,
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed
of your vehicle up to a maximum
rate of 11 f t . /s e c by restricting
the throt tle or gently applying the
brakes, until the distance that you
have preset is maintained. Your
vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates
further, Adaptive Cruise Control will
continue to reduce your cruising
speed— even down to a complete stop.
For additional safet y, if the system
detects that the distance from the
vehicle in front is decreasing, it will
also prepare your vehicle for braking
by precharging the braking system
so that the brake pads are already
in light contact with the brake discs.
However, drivers still have to perform
heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up
to the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle
in front too quickly, Porsche Active
Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual
warnings. In addition, the system briefly
jerks the brakes and if necessary
initiates target braking, with any braking
pressure applied by the driver being
increased within certain system limits.
