Elegantly matched to the exterior
of the car is the all-new wheel
design. The 19-inch forged alloys
have a standard two-tone finish
as well as wide, low-profile tyres.
The standard tyre dimensions
are 235/35 ZR 19 (front) and
305/30 ZR 19 (rear).
The interior of the car is equally
compelling and entirely designed
around the driver. The high-quality
surfaces include a full leather
finish on the standard electric
seats as well as the dashboard,
doors and rear side panels. Two
sports seat options are also
available, one featuring adaptive
adjustment. The standard

The new 911 Turbo
The extreme capability of the new
911 Turbo is elegantly enclosed in
a highly distinctive exterior. While
signalling the unique athleticism of
the car, it remains unmistakably 911.
The aerodynamics are exceptionally
well balanced, with positive
downforce at the rear. The drag
coefficient is remarkably low
at just 0.31. With its streamlined
shape and lightweight build,
the new 911 Turbo offers excellent
fuel economy as well as super-
lative performance.The standard Bi-Xenon headlights
with integral cleaning system
are compact, stylish and elegantly
incorporated within the new
front-end design. The front apron
moulding is an entirely new
development, featuring high-
performance LED indicators in
the outer air intake ducts. The
compact front foglights are
neatly positioned on the outer
edges of the front apron.
The side air intakes, to the rear
of the doors, provide optimum air
delivery to the twin intercoolerunits. Equally efficient are the
cooling air ducts to the front and
rear brake assemblies. This
enhanced cooling action is an
important factor in the excellent
performance of the standard
braking system.
The body of the car is much wider
across the rear than the front. A
generous wheel track is combined
with wider tyres to achieve
enormous lateral grip. The engine
lid is another totally new design
and features an integral bi-plane
rear spoiler. The
upper wing
element is automatically
raised at
approximately 120 km / h (75 mph)
and lowered at around 60 km / h
(37 mph).
The rear apron moulding has also
been redesigned to blend with
the rest of the car. The side air
outlets and fully enclosed twin
tailpipes are a further indication of
the power within. Black plastic

The overall design of the
new 911 Turbo marks another
new phase in the ongoing
evolution of this remarkable car.
Wholly integral to the fundamental
vehicle concept, every detail
is a direct expression of power,
composure and comfort.

The new 911 Turbo is a prime
example of the ongoing evolution
of Porsche engineering. For
another step up in all-round
performance, there’s the optional
Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
This integrated system provides
simultaneous enhancement
for engine, chassis and optional
Tiptronic S transmission.
Key features include a digital and
analogue timer located centrally
on the dashboard, a ‘Sport’ select
button on the centre console,
a performance display in the
standard Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), a personal
memory function in PCM, and
a special ‘overboost’ function
unique to the new 911 Turbo.When ‘Sport’ mode is selected,
the engine management system
applies a new set of variables
creating a much more aggressive
response. A modified throttle
map relates the pedal position in
the footwell to a wider angle
of opening on the throttle. As a
result, the engine has a much
more positive reaction to every
pedal input. In the higher gears,
a hard rev-limiter helps protect
the engine under power.
Under full acceleration, the
‘overboost’ function provides a
temporary increase in available
boost pressure of approximately
0.2 bar. The overboost is applied
across the medium rev range,
raising the standard 620 Nm of
torque to as much as 680 Nm.
The modified throttle is matched
by PASM, which also switches
to ‘Sport’ mode. The dampers
become firmer, enabling fasterturn-in as well as better contact
with the road.
On vehicles with Tiptronic S,
the basic gearshift pattern is
automatically switched to high-
performance mode. The gearshift
action is virtually instantaneous,
while the shift points are timed for
maximum acceleration. Lift off
the throttle – even at high revs –
and the system automatically
shifts down to apply engine
braking. There are no unwanted
upshifts in manual mode when
approaching the engine rev limit.
Since the driver has control over
every upshift, the handling of
the car is smooth and assured,
particularly when braking for a
corner.
To minimise assistance from
PSM, the trigger threshold for
this system is raised. The result
is a more natural and involving
response to both lateral andlongitudinal forces. Mid-corner
agility is considerably enhanced,
with greater scope for oversteer
on turn-in and exit. This added
freedom is particularly apparent
in lower-speed sequences and
bends. For even greater driving
pleasure, the all-wheel drive
system applies a greater
proportion of drive torque to the
rear.

Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
Additional power, precision timing.

For maximum manoeuvrability,
PSM can be partially disabled
while the car is still in ‘Sport’
mode. PSM simply monitors the
forces acting on the car and
will only intervene in the most
critical of situations, e.g., when
ABS assistance is required on
both front wheels.
To help you quantify this
increased performance, the
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
includes a swivel-mounted timer
on the dashboard. Functions
are accessed via the control
stalk for the on-board computer.
Analogue dials measure hours,
minutes and seconds, while aseparate digital field displays
whole seconds, tenths and one
hundredths of a second. The
digital field runs in parallel with
a second display which is
conveniently located in the
instrument cluster.
Individual lap times can be
viewed, stored and analysed using
a special ‘performance display’
added to Porsche Communication
Management (see page 86).
Available information includes the
time and distance travelled on
the current lap, as well as the
number of laps completed and
the respective times. The system
can also display 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 features
include a memory function
accessible via PCM. This can beused to store a range of personal
preferences, such as daytime
driving lights, ‘Welcome Home’
light function, air conditioning,
rain sensor activation and door-
lock mode.

Complementing the front airbags
is the latest generation of Porsche
Side Impact Protection (POSIP).
This comprehensive package
includes two additional airbags for
each front seat: a thorax airbag
in the side of each backrest,
and a head airbag located in each
door. Each side airbag has anapproximate volume of 8 litres,
ensuring maximum protection
over the entire seat adjustment
range. Also incorporated within
the POSIP package are side-
impact protection beams in the
doors.Other standard features include
integral head restraints, an
energy-absorbing steering column,
height-adjustable three-point seat
belts with pre-tensioners and
force limiters, energy-absorbing
structures in the dashboard area
and flame-retardant materials
throughout the interior. The new 911 Turbo has a unique
passive protection system
featuring six separate airbags.
The full-size front airbags for
driver and front passenger have
a two-stage inflation capability.
With this technology, the
deployment of each airbag is
dependent on the force and
nature of the accident (e.g.,
frontal or diagonal impact). In
a low-speed crash, the airbag
is only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
The airbag control unit is located
in the centre tunnel where it
receives additional information
from a pair of impact sensors near
the headlights. This arrangement
enables faster and more accurate
evaluation of impact forces in the
event of a crash.

The one-touch switches on the
centre console are logically
positioned for optimum ease of
use. All instruments are perfectly
placed within the driver’s field of
vision. The air-conditioning system
is fully automatic and features a
highly effective active carbon filter.
This added convenience gives
you greater freedom to enjoy the
driving experience.
The tinted front glass and generous
rear screen offer excellent fore-
and-aft visibility. The front side
windows have a water-repellent
finish, which automatically
disperses moisture and dirt.
The result: optimum visibility in
poor weather conditions.
Instruments.
The classic arrangement of five
round instruments provides a
clear overview of all key information.
The digital display in the centre-left
dial (speedometer) provides main
and trip odometer readings. The
central rev counter, featuring the
‘turbo’ logo, includes the standard
on-board computer display.
This multi-purpose field contains a
permanent digital speedometer
as well as the following optional
information: boost pressure,
average speed, average fuel
consumption, tyre pressure,
current radio station, navigation
instructions and remaining range
till empty. When ‘Sport’ mode
is selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Package Turbo, the
temporary increase in torque is
clearly indicated using an arrow
symbol in the boost pressure
display. The third display, in the
centre-right dial, contains a
clock and external temperature.
The dot-matrix technology used in
each of these displays provides
a high resolution for icons and
text. Design and legibility are
further enhanced with brilliant
white backlight illumination.

For the pure enjoyment of performance.
The passenger compartment in the
new 911 Turbo is another example
of uncompromising design. As you
would expect, it offers the highest
standards of ergonomics, comfort
and quality. The seats, dashboard,
doors and rear side panels are
finished in leather as standard. Atthe centre of the cockpit is a new
gear lever design that’s exclusive
to the new 911 Turbo.
Other standard features include
a three-spoke sports steering
wheel offering 40 mm of
adjustment for both height and
reach. A three-spoke multi-function
steering wheel – available as
optional equipment – provides
direct access to audio, navigation
and (if fitted) telephone functions.

The BOSE®Surround Sound
System has a unique acoustic
presence. Just like the new
911 Turbo. Which is why we chose
to develop them together as a
single, integrated whole.
The standard BOSE®Surround
Sound System in the new
911 Turbo has a nominal output
of 325 Watts. Power is supplied
by a seven-channel MOST
®-based
digital amplifier, featuring
5 x 25-Watt linear amps and
2 x 100-Watt switching units.
MOST®(Media Orientated
Systems Transport) is a
fibre-optic bus network offering
fast data transfer and perfect
signal quality.
A total of 13 loudspeakers,
including active subwoofer and
centerfill speaker, create a unique
sound at all four seat positions
that complements the driving
experience. The balanced, lifelike
and crystal-clear sound is
the product of numerous audio
technologies.
BOSE
®Surround Sound uses
independent channels at front and
rear to create a push-button
panorama of space and sound.
Adding to this experience is
the patented BOSE
®Centerpoint®
technology, which can split
even stereo recordings into five
separate channels. These are
then passed to selected speakers
with the aid of BOSE®
SurroundStage™ signal
processing.
acoustics of the new 911 Turbo.
The dynamic loudness function
offers a considerable
improvement over conventional
loudness circuitry. By enhancing
the lower frequencies in low-
volume sound, it actively
compensates for the reduced
sensitivity of the human ear at
the lower end of the audio
spectrum. Another important
feature of the BOSE
®Surround
Sound System is AudioPilot
®
Noise Compensation Technology.
Using a microphone in the
dashboard, AudioPilot®monitors
the sound in the cockpit and
automatically compensates forany ambient noise. The result is
a clearer and more consistent
sound, with no need for manual
adjustment.
