2010 PORSCHE 911 GTS height

Fog lights.
Bi­Xenon headlights with

dynamic range control are fit ted
as standard. Their beams are
around t wice as bright as those
of conventional halogen lamps.
Light output is improved and the
road illuminated more uniformly
on both dipped and main beam,
helping to minimise driver
fatigue. A headlight cleaning
function is also incorporated.
Dynamic cornering lights.
Available as an option, dynamic
cornering lights offer particularly
effective illumination of the
road ahead, especially through
bends. Sensors continuously
monitor the speed, lateral acce­
leration and steering lock and,
from these variables, calculate
the course of the bend. This
Lighting concept.
The front light units incorporate
the direction indicators, the
LED day time running lights and
position lights, which provide
outstanding visibilit y and create
an imposing look that is unmis ­
takable even in the dark. LEDs
are also used for the direction
indicators, the taillights and
brake lights, the additional brake
light in the rear spoiler, and the
rear fog light. LEDs offer several
advantages. Importantly, they
provide effective illumination
and respond more quickly to
driver input.
determines the angle of illumina ­
tion for the dipped beam lights,
up to a maximum of 15 degrees.
On t wisting roads, this means
the course of the road and
obstacles can be seen earlier
by the driver.
Driver and passenger airbags.
The t wo full ­size airbags can be
inflated in t wo stages, depend
ing
on the severit y of the impact. In
a low ­speed crash, the airbags
are only partially inflated, there ­
by minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The Posche Side Impact
Pro
tection System (POSIP), fit ­
ted as standard, consists of side
impact protection beams in the
doors and t wo side airbags on
each side, namely a thorax air ­
bag located in the side of each
backrest and a head airbag
incorporated within each door.
Each airbag has an approximate
volume of 8 litres, ensuring
excellent protection in the event
of side impact.
Additional safet y features
include the headrests which
form an integral part of each
seat, an energy ­absorbing
steering column, three ­point
seat belts with height adjust ­
ment (Coupé models only), seat
belt pre ­tensioners and force
limiters and energy ­absorbing
elements in the dashboard.
Passive safet y in the Cabriolet.
Despite their modest weight, the
torsional rigidit y and flexural
strength of the 911 Carrera GTS
Cabriolet models are exemplary.
Body flexing is minimal even on
the most poorly surfaced roads.
Additional brace members at
each of the rear wheel arches
provide additional reinforcement
to the bodyshell. Increased
protection is provided by an
automatically deploying roll ­over
protection system if the car
were to overturn. Two spring ­
loaded roll ­over bars are neatly
incorporated behind the rear
seats. The roll ­over sensor
continuously monitors the car’s
pitch and roll, contact with the
road, as well as lateral and lon ­
gitudinal forces. If the car were
to overturn, the roll ­over bars
would be deployed instantly.

Three-spoke SportDesign
steering wheel.
The three­spoke SportDesign
steering wheel was devel ­
oped specifically for the

911 Carrera GTS
models and
is fit ted as standard. It of fers
40 mm of
adjustment for both
height and reach and, thanks
to its grip mouldings, it ’s in safe
hands – even on the sportiest
of drives. Other features include
an integral full ­size airbag, a
high ­grip steering wheel rim
and outstanding ergonomics.
In conjunction with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
the steering wheel is equipped
with t wo gearshif t paddles.
Materials.
A lcant ara1) translates the exterior
styling of the 911 Carrera GTS

into the interior. It is functional,
hardwearing and proven on the
race track. In a word, sporty. It
is mainly used to cover features
requiring extra protection against
wear and tear: the gear and
handbrake levers, the steering
wheel rim, the door handles,
the door storage compartment
lids, the seat centres and, in
the Cabriolet models, the centre
of the rear bench seat. In con ­
junction with the optional leather
interior package with black
Alcantara, the glove compart ­
ment lid, the door centre
panels
and the lower section of the
dashboard
are also finished in
Alcantara.
The paddles are made from a
strong alloy and are ergonomi ­
cally located behind the right
and lef t steering wheel spokes.
Pull the right ­hand paddle and
the PDK shif ts up. Pull the lef t ­
hand paddle and the PDK shif ts
down.
When PDK is combined with the
optio nal Sport Chrono Package
Plus, the steering wheel also
features an additional display in
the left ­ and right ­hand spokes.
It tells you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch
Control functions are activated.
Sports seats.
Fitted as standard, the sports
seats of t he new 911 Carrera GTS
models are firmly padded.

Higher side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest provide
additional lateral support. The
seat height and fore/af t position
are adjusted manually, the back ­
rest electrically.
Adaptive sports seats with
driver memory.
Adaptive sports seats are avail ­
able as an option, offering an
extremely sport y experience
and also a high level of comfort.
They feature electric adjustment
of fore/af t position, height
and backrest angle and are
equipped with lumbar support.
The side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest are indivi­
dually electrically adjustable,
for enjoyable comfort on long
journeys and tailor ­made lateral
support through bends or on
the racetrack. The memory
function supports the exterior
mirrors and all driver’s seat
positions, apart from the side
bolsters.
