provide effective protection
against stone chips.
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
equipment package includes a
new gear-knob design – created
exclusively for the 911 Turbo –

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.

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.

Chassis

The horizontal indicators in the
outer front air intakes feature high-
performance light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) for optimum visibility.
The standard front foglights on
the front apron moulding are
another distinctive design feature
on the new 911 Turbo.
At the rear of the car, the High-
Level third brake light is also
equipped with fast-response LEDs.
A pair of additional lights on the
inside of each door offer greater
convenience and safety at night.
The kerb light (white) provides
greater visibility when exiting the
car. The safety light (red) warns
traffic approaching from the rear
that the door is currently open.
The standard lighting system on
the new 911 Turbo features the
latest Bi-Xenon gas-discharge
technology offering a light quality
similar to daylight. The compact
main headlights provide a broad
swathe of light, ensuring greater
active safety in all road scenarios.Each headlight unit contains a gas-
discharge lamp featuring dynamic
range control. This automatic
adjustment of the light-beam angle
prevents hazardous dazzling of
oncoming vehicles due to small
undulations in the surface of the
road or heavy rear-end loads.The brightness of the lights is
approximately twice as great as
that of a halogen lamp. Other
standard features integral to the
system include a headlight cleaning
function.

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.
