VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a variable valve
timing system on the inlet side
which also features t wo -stage
valve lift. For excellent smooth-
running performance, bet ter fuel
economy and fewer emissions.
And greater power and torque.
The timing of each valve is step-
lessly and electro -hydraulically
controlled by means of a rotary
vane adjuster.
For optimum responsiveness
during the warm-up phase,
VarioCam Plus will select the
higher valve lif t set ting and retard
valve timing. At medium revs
and low engine loads, the lower
valve lif t set ting is selected
and timing advanced in order to
reduce fuel consumption and
emissions. For maximum power
and torque, the higher lif t set ting
is selected and the timing of the
valves is advanced.
Engine management.
The EMS SDI 3.1 engine manage -
ment system ensures optimum
performance at all times.
It is responsible for all engine-
related functions and assemblies,
resulting in improved fuel
economy, emission levels and
performance, regardless of
driving st yle.
Another important task performed
by the engine management
system is cylinder-specific knock
control. Since conditions tend
to vary across the engine, each
cylinder is monitored separately.
If a risk is detected, the individual
ignition timing is adjusted to
protect the cylinders and pistons
at high engine speeds and loads.
The EU-compliant on-board
diagnostics system provides
continuous fault detection as well as early warning for the exhaust
and fuel supply systems. This
actively reduces harmful emissions
while maintaining consistent rates
of fuel consumption.
Ignition system.
The ignition system is a static
high-voltage system. Each indi -
vidual spark plug has a separate
ignition coil, ensuring perfect
combustion every time.

The optional freely programmable
garage door opener is incorpo-
rated into the roof console and
of fers remote control of up to
three garage door, gate, home
lighting and/or alarm systems.
Luggage compartment.
In addition to the rear luggage
area, the luggage compartment
at the front has a capacit y of
105 litres. The entire luggage compartment is lined with high-
qualit y scratch - resistant materials.
Roof transport system.
The optional roof carrier system
for the 911 Turbo (Coupé versions
only) is aerodynamically efficient,
extremely light weight and easy
to fit. The system can be com -
bined with a range of at tachments,
such as a roof box and carriers
for bikes, skis and snowboards.
Maximum roof load is 75 kg.
Anti-theft protection.
An engine immobiliser with in -key
transponder as well as a powerful
alarm system featuring contact-
sensitive exterior protection and
radar-based interior surveillance
are standard on all models.
Vehicle Tracking System.
An optional factory-fit ted prepa -
ration enabling future installation
of a vehicle tracking system is ob -
tainable from Porsche Tequipment.
This system allows a stolen
vehicle
to be traced throughout most of
Europe. The package includes
a special wiring loom and a high
capacit y bat tery. A tilt sensor
for the alarm system is
also part
of the preliminary fit tings.
Automatically dimming mirrors.
An auto -dimming function is
included as standard for the
interior and exterior mirrors. Also
included is an integrated rain
sensor for the front wiper system.
ParkAssist.
This standard feature is
automatically enabled whenever
you select reverse gear. Move
too close to a stationary object
and a warning signal is emit ted.
Continue to reverse and the
tone increases in frequency. The ultrasonic sensors are neatly
concealed in the rear bumper.
Cruise control.
Standard on 911 Turbo S models
(optional for 911 Turbo models),
cruise control has an ef fective
speed range of 30 –240 km/ h
(19–149 mph). The system is
operated using a separate control
stalk on the steering column and
can even be used in first gear.
