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.
