The power-assisted steering is
not only sensitive and direct,
it also offers accurate feedback
from the road. Minimal driver
effort is required when parking,
while the turning circle is small
at just 10.9 metres – despite
the generous tyre width.
One of the key features of
the new steering system is thevariable-ratio gearing. Around the
straight-ahead position, the ratio
is less direct, enabling smoother
manoeuvres on the motorway. It
also reduces the risk of excessive
steering inputs which could
destabilise the car at high speed.
Turn the wheel harder and
the ratio becomes more direct,
enabling better manageability
through low-speed corners as well
as easier parking manoeuvres.
In all scenarios, the system
provides excellent feedback
while complementing the car’s
natural agility.
In short: all the precision of a
race-proven system, yet perfect
for everyday road use.

Chassis
Wheels.
The final elements in the drivetrain
system are, of course, the
wheels and tyres. On the new
911 Turbo, we’ve used 19-inch
forged alloys as standard. The
front wheel dimensions are
8.5J x 19 with
235/35 ZR 19
tyres. Rear wheel size is 11J x 19
with 305/30 ZR 19 tyres. The
new wheel design features a
special two-tone look for even
greater visual impact. The sides
of each spoke have a titanium
paint finish, while the entire front
surface, including the flange, has
a polished finish.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM),
included as standard equipment,
provides early warning of
tyre pressure loss. The driver is
i
nformed via the on-board
computer display as well as a
separate indicator light.A range of optional 18 and 19-inch
winter wheels (all snow chain-
compatible) are available from
Porsche Tequipment. Vehicles
equipped with the optional
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) may only be fitted
with 19-inch winter wheels.

Accuracy, comfort and excellent road contact.
Storage compartments.
The new 911 Turbo is not only
a powerful performer, it is also
highly versatile. Added to the
comfort and ergonomics of the
interior are a range of practical
features.
The storage compartments in the
doors and centre console feature
matching upholstered lids. These
are positioned at precisely the
same height to form comfortable
armrests on longer journeys.
Beneath the front passenger
airbag, behind a fold-down trim,
are two cupholders for driver and
front passenger. Beneath the
cupholders is a lockable glove
compartment featuring integral
CD storage.
Two 12 V sockets (including the
cigar lighter) provide power for
electrical equipment. An optional
fire extinguisher is also available,
installing neatly out of sight but
always within reach directly ahead
of the driver’s seat.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard function provides
generous illumination via the
foglight units when the key remote
is used to lock or unlock the
car. As the name suggests, it is
particularly convenient when
returning home after dark. On
vehicles equipped with the optional
Sport Chrono Package Turbo, the
timing delay can be programmed
via the Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) terminal.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is auto-
matically enabled whenever you
select reverse gear. Move too
close to a stationary object and
a warning signal is emitted.
Continue to reverse and the tone
increases in frequency. The
ultrasonic sensors are neatly
concealed within the rear apron
moulding.
Cruise control.
This optional system is available
from 30 to 240 km / h
(20 – 149 mph) and can even be
used in first gear. The system is
operated using a separate control
stalk on the steering column.
HomeLink®.
This optional garage-door opener
is integral to the car and offers
full remote control for up to three
garage doors. It can also be used
with gate, home lighting and alarm
systems. Compatible with virtually
all garage and gate systems.
Rear wiper.
Also available as an option, the
rear wiper system includes a flat
and streamlined ‘aero’ blade which
blends with the exterior of the car.
Interior and exterior mirrors.
All three rear-view mirrors on the
new 911 Turbo feature auto-
dimming glass as standard. The
interior mirror also includes an
integral rain sensor for the front
wiper system.
Slide /tilt sunroof.
This electrically operated and
steplessly adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is also available as an
option. In the tilted position,
it offers comfortable ventilation
of the passenger compartment,
even when travelling at high speed.
