The power of air.
As applied by Porsche.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet.
The 911 Turbo is an exercise in
exploiting the power of air. The new
911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo
S

Cabriolet? All the more so.
The newly developed fabric cabriolet
top and electric wind deflector in the
911 Turbo Cabriolet models provide the
best conditions for plent y of fresh air.
The key points: They are convenient and
quick to operate, create lit tle drag while
driving, and there is minimal wind noise.
And now, for the first time in a Turbo
Cabriolet, the 911 silhouette is just as
unmistakable as in a 911 Turbo Coupe. Both models are driven by a 3.8-liter
t win-turbo engine. In the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet, it develops 520 horsepower
at 6000 – 6500 rpm and a maximum
torque of 487 lb.-ft. The top track
speed is 195 mph and it reaches its
60 -mph mark in just 3.3 seconds.
With an additional 40 horsepower, the
engine in the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet
delivers even more, specifically:
560 horsepower bet ween 6500 and
6750 rpm. The maximum torque, with
overboost, is 553 lb.-ft., enabling
a top speed of 197 mph and a breathtaking sprint from 0–60 mph
in a mere 3.0 seconds.
The enhanced Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) transmission is precise and direct,
transmit ting power to all four wheels
via the active all-wheel-drive capabilities
of Porsche Traction Management
(PTM). Rear-axle steering helps further
the aim of handling precision.
Another way to tap the power of air?
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A).
It ’s an innovation Porsche developed
for the racetrack, where rapid changes
in downforce dynamics can poise a challenge to high-speed stabilit y. The
solution is the active adjustment of the
front and rear spoilers to constantly
optimize aerodynamic downforce
over the front and rear axles.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet boasts 20 -
inch two-tone wheels as standard, while
on the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, 20 -inch
t wo -tone 911 Turbo S wheels with central
locking device are standard. All wheels
are forged and polished on the front.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models: our
new benchmark for open-top driving.

Power | Engine
Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG)
One of the critical factors in designing a
turbocharged engine has always been the
size of the turbo units. Large turbines
create massive boost, but suffer “ turbo
lag” as they begin to spool up. Smaller
turbines respond more quickly, but lack
the capacit y to induce large amounts
of exhaust air. With Variable Turbine
Geometry (VTG), Porsche engineers
have resolved this conflict. As exhaust
flow from the engine is channeled into
the turbines, the engine management
system controls the electronically
adjustable guide vanes, changing the
vane angle so the system can replicate
the advantages of both sizes of turbo,
large and small. The optimal gas-flow
characteristics are achieved at all times. This results in a high turbine speed—
and greater boost pressure—even
at low engine rpm. With more air
available, the combustion is increased,
yielding bet ter power and torque. The
torque curve reaches its maximum
level much sooner—and stays there.
V TG also improves the response
of the turbo engine with dynamic
boost pressure development.
When the boost pressure reaches
its maximum value, the guide vanes
are opened further. By varying the
vane angle, it is possible to achieve
the required boost pressure over the
entire engine-speed range, so excess
pressure valves are no longer required.
Porsche revolutionized the modern
sports car with the original 911 Turbo.
And with innovations such as Variable
Turbine Geometry (VTG) in the new
911 Turbo, the revolution carries on.
VarioCam Plus
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept that adjusts the camshafts on
the intake side and controls valve lift.
The system distinguishes bet ween
normal everyday driving and maximum
power requirements and adapts to
the corresponding conditions. The
switchover is performed imperceptibly
by the electronic engine management
system. The result is spontaneous
acceleration, an extremely quiet drive,
and extraordinary engine power with
comparatively low fuel consumption. press as much of the air/fuel mixture as
possible into the cylinders. But added
compression not only increases air
volume—it also raises air temperature.
And this has a negative effect on ignition.
The 911 Turbo model’s expansion
manifold turns that principle around. The
internal geometry is radically different
from that of a resonance intake system.
Key modifications include a longer
distributor pipe with a smaller diameter,
and shorter intake pipes. As a result,
the air is in the expansion phase as it
enters the combustion chambers.
Since expansion always cools, the air/
fuel temperature is lower, ignition is
significantly improved, and—here’s the
best part—performance is increased.
Expansion Intake Manifold
More power using less fuel. Sounds
paradoxical, but it ’s really quite simple.
You just have to question the norm.
Take the intake manifold in the new
911 Turbo models, as an example. With
a traditional resonance manifold, more
air means more power. The compression
effect in the intake system is used to The amount of air that enters the engine
under expansion is less than it would
be under compression. To compensate
for this, Porsche engineers simply
increased the boost pressure. The
resulting increase in temperature—again
through compression—is immediately
offset by the uprated intercoolers.
Instead of hot compressed air entering
the combustion chambers, the cooler
air generates more power and torque.
As a consequence, there is a major
improvement in engine efficiency.
Fuel consumption is lower, even under
heav y loads and at high revs.

Responsibility | Brakes
1 Standard brakes in the 911 Turbo
Why has Porsche always viewed braking
performance with the same enthusiasm
we share for our engines and chassis?
Perhaps it is because we think of braking
as negative acceleration. For us, braking
response and the stopping distances
achieved by the new 911 Turbo models
should be every bit as breathtaking as
our throt tle response and acceleration
times. A Porsche 911 Turbo model’s
goal is nothing less than to be the
new reference point for sports car
braking. The braking performance must
provide the driver ample reassurance
that when speed needs to be shed,
the brakes will respond accordingly. In the new 911 Turbo and the new
911 Turbo Cabriolet, the brake
specification is suited to the demands
of high performance. The brake disc
diameter is 380 mm front and rear.
Grabbing hold of the front discs are
powerful 6-piston, aluminum monobloc
fixed calipers finished in red. At the
rear, 4-piston, aluminum monobloc fixed
calipers press the pads to the disc.
The brake calipers have an enclosed
monobloc construction. This makes them
tougher but lighter and enables a more
rapid response and release of the brake,
even under extreme loads. The pedal
travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are cross-drilled for
better performance in wet conditions.
Other benefits of the braking system
include the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), designed to minimize brake fade
and keep braking response constant.
Pedal effort is reduced and braking
response improved by a tandem
vacuum brake booster. Brake-disc
cooling is optimized by air spoilers.
Electric Parking Brake
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
A performance isn’t finished until it comes to a complete stop.
Brakes.
With the hill-hold function, you can pull
away without ever rolling back. The
system automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill
gradient, requiring intervention. PSM
then maintains the brake pressure at
all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.

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.
Inside, yet another Porsche extreme:

extreme quiet.
Comfort.

Rear Seats
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car. And the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Turbo Coupe increases to
9.2 cubic feet, providing plent y of space
for luggage. You have 5.5 cubic feet in
the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet 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.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all
seat positions on the driver’s side as
well as set tings for the steering wheel,
lights, wipers, air conditioning, door
locks, PCM, and instrument cluster.
lateral support on winding roads.
Also included is the personal memory
for all seat positions (apart from the
side bolsters) and lumbar support
on the driver’s side as well as the
positions of the steering wheel and
exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports set tings for the lights,
wipers, air conditioning, door locks,
PCM, and instrument cluster.
Sport Seats Plus
Available as an option, at no extra
cost, are Sport Seats Plus in Leather
with power seat height and backrest
adjustment as well as mechanical fore/
aft adjustment. The side bolsters on
the seat cushion and backrest have
a firmer, sportier padding and offer
excellent lateral support. The backrest
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
For maximum sports performance,
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus are standard
in the new 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet. The firm, sport y
padding of the side bolsters and
additional shoulder supports provides
the best possible hold. And with 18-way
electric adjustment, the seats can be
optimally adapted to meet your needs
in terms of seat height, seat cushion
and backrest angle, seat cushion
length, fore/aft adjustment, and four-
way lumbar support. The steering
column is also electrically adjustable.
In addition, the side bolsters on the
seat cushion and backrest can be
adjusted independently for added
comfort on long journeys and precision
Child Seats
LATCH child seat preparation
including top tether is available
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.

Burmester® High-End Surround
Sound System
When t wo iconic German manufacturers
join forces, the result is special. We’re
referring to Porsche and Berlin-based
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high-end audio
equipment worldwide. The Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System is
based on the finest premium home
audio systems Burmester
® has to offer.
The technologies behind the system
optimize countless details of audio
design, with one goal: sound perfection.
The system boasts 12 amplifier
channels with a total output of more
than
82

1 wat ts, 12 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer with
300 -wat t Class D amplifier, a total
diaphragm surface area of more than
207 square inches, and a frequency
response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz. The Burmester
® system uses the
patented integral subwoofer, which
replaces the familiar separate
subwoofer and loudspeaker
arrangement of other systems. This
saves weight and has a beneficial
impact on acoustic performance.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from
the home audio sector. Analog and
digital filters have been optimally
defined for their new installation
location and finely tuned after
extensive in-car audio testing.
For unmistakably fine, clear, and
undistorted high-frequency sound
reproduction with excellent level
stability, ribbon-based Air Motion
Transformers (AMT) have been
used for all of the 911 Turbo
models. All loudspeaker housings are perfectly matched and deliver
superior bass foundation, definition,
and impulse accuracy. The result
is a natural and richly textured
spatial sound even at top volume.
The pure, sport y design with galvanized
surrounds and Burmester
® logos on
select loudspeakers makes it clear
that the appeal of the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System
is as much about the visual as it is
the audio. Uncompromising in sound
and design. Typically Porsche.
Bose® Surround Sound System
The sound of a Porsche is as unique
as a fingerprint. And that ’s true
not just of the engine’s sound. The
Bose
® Surround Sound System,
which comes standard, is perfectly
tuned to the specific interior
acoustics of the 911 Turbo models.
The system has eight amplifier
channels, 12 loudspeakers, and a
patented integral 100-watt active
subwoofer and a total output
of 445 wat ts. The combined
effect is a balanced acoustic
pat tern that transforms your
911 Turbo into a concert hall. An
extremely fast-moving one.
The Bose
® Surround Sound System
enables audio playback of DVDs and
makes full use of the impressive sound
spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you can still play other audio
sources, such as CDs and MP3s—in
stereo. Or, at the push of a but ton,
in one of the virtual surround modes
generated by Bose
® Centerpoint®2.
The Bose
®-patented AudioPilot®
Noise Compensation Technology
uses a microphone to continuously
measure the ambient noise inside
the vehicle. It then instantly adapts
music playback automatically so that
a consistent sound is maintained,
whatever the driving conditions.
The result is a powerful sound
and captivating 360 -degree
acoustic experience
.
