Driver and passenger airbags.
The t wo full-size airbags can be
inflated in t wo stages, depending
on the severit y of the impact. In a low-speed crash, the airbags
are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
Bodyshell structure.
The reinforced bodyshell contains
a highly resilient passenger cell
offering exceptional crash protec
-
tion. At the front of the car, the
cell is protected by a patented
system of longitudinal and trans -
verse members (1). In the event of
an accident, it disperses the force
of the impact and minimises
deformation of the passenger cell.
Additional features include an
ultra-rigid bulkhead cross-member
(2) made from super high-strength steel. This element is designed to
absorb impact forces from the longitudinal members and thus
protect the front foot wells.
The reinforced doors (3) also
contribute to the overall rigidit y
of the car. An additional load
path (4) is used to channel energy
through the upper part of the
shell and thus further protect the
passenger cell.
In minor collisions, easily replace -
able impact absorbers (5) protect
the bodyshell.

Instruments.
The classic Porsche grouping of
five round instruments offers a
clear overview of all key informa -
tion.
The digital display in the centre-
left dial (speedometer) provides
main and trip odometer readings.
The central rev counter, featuring
the ‘turbo’ ‘or turbo S’ logo,
includes the standard on-board
computer display. This multi -
pur
pose field contains a perma -
nent digital speedometer as well
as the upshif t display on manual
models. The following optional information can also be displayed:
boost pressure, average speed,
average fuel consumption, t yre
pressure, current radio station,
navigation instructions and
remaining range till empt y. When
‘Sport ’ mode is selected on
the Sport Chrono Package Turbo
in a 911 Turbo model equipped
with dynamic engine mount
system, the temporary increase
in maximum torque is clearly
indicated by an arrow symbol in
the boost pressure display.
The third display, in the centre-
right dial, shows the time and
outside temperature.
Why do you need huge gestures
when the signs are clear?
Comfort.
An expressive design.
Well conceived technology.
A consistently sporty style.
No gimmicks. Why should the
rules for performance be
any different for the interior?
