2011 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA steering

7475
Our identity is found under the bonnet,
in the design and behind the steering wheel.

Comfort.
Driving a 911 is first and foremost about
the feel of the road in the original, unadul -
terated and direct sense. Is it possible,
then, to mention the 911 and comfort in
the same breath? To speak of systems
that make driving ‘more agreeable’, or of
materials that feel ‘pleasant ’ to the touch?
Good question.
In reality, however, should anyone really
be forced to choose one over the other?
Let ’s introduce ourselves to the concept
of sport y comfort – dynamic performance
that maintains composure even when
pushed to the extreme.
Interior.
Engineering and st yle – and Porsche
identit y on the inside, as demonstrated by
the new elevated centre console. In t ypical
Porsche fashion, the use of form follows
a basic principle: focus on the driver. This
is why the distance bet ween the gear lever
or selector and steering wheel is extremely
short and the operating logic, such as that
of the two-zone air conditioning system
or the suspension set tings, is clear and
uncomplicated. You shouldn’t have to
browse one submenu after another. You
should instead be able to concentrate
on what ’s important: the road.
Inside there is a range of high qualit y
materials used, including a full leather
interior as standard. Alcantara has
proven its worth in motorsport and is
used as standard for the rooflining of
the Coupé models.
In addition to the choice of Black, Plati -
num Grey, Luxor Beige and Yachting Blue
for the interior, there is a wide range of
other personalisation options available,
including two-tone colour combinations
or special colours and materials such as
carbon, aluminium or high quality wood.

In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important inter face bet ween
the driver and the sports car. This is

why all available steering wheels feature
a high-grip steering wheel rim in smooth-
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full -size airbag is integrated
as st a n d a rd .SportDesign steering wheel.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel
is adjustable for both height and reach
and, thanks to its grip mouldings, it’s
in safe hands – even on the sportiest
of drives.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 40 mm for
height and up to 60 mm for reach.
The optional multifunction steering
wheel has four function but tons and t wo thumbwheels for convenient operation

of audio, telephone and navigation
functions, TFT display and on-board
computer. On request, the steering
wheel is available in smooth-finish leather,
carbon or mahogany. In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to
change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module to
inform you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated.
SportDesign steering wheel
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshif t paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
lef t- and right- hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle and PDK shifts down. When PDK has
been combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the left- and right-hand
spokes additionally feature a display

that tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated. Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as
an option for the sports steering wheel
and multifunction steering wheels
(only in conjunction with seat heating).
The heating is operated by a but ton
on the rear of the lower steering wheel
spoke.

Sports seats.
The Sports seats in full leather are
comfortable and provide support even
during performance driving. They are
equipped as standard with electric seat
height and backrest adjustment and
mechanical fore/aft adjustment.

Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats of fer fully electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab angle,
sq ua b dept h, fore/a f t posi t io n, 4 - way
lumbar support and even the steering
column.
The integrated memor y package supports
the exterior mirrors and all seat positions
on the driver’s side as well as set tings
for the steering wheel, lights, wipers,
air conditioning, door locks, PCM, and
instrument cluster.

Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side
bolsters on the squab and backrest
have a firmer, sportier padding and offer
even bet ter lateral support. The backrest
shell is finished in Silver Grey.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport
and comfort. Finished in leather and
with side bolsters having a firm, sport y
padding, they also feature shoulder
supports for the best possible hold.
Of fering 18 -way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and 4-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable.
Adaptive Sports seat Plus
In addition, the side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest are independently
adjustable for added comfort on long
journeys and precision lateral support
on winding roads. Also included is the
personal memory for all seat positions
(apart from the side bolsters) and lumbar
support on the driver’s side as well as
the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, PCM, and instrument cluster.

The ideal basis for any relationship:

Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we can
equip the seats with seat ventilation on
request. A slipstream effect is produced
by active ventilation of the perforated
seat centre and backrest and by passive
aeration at the side bolsters. This evapo -
rates perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably comfortable
for a sports car and the shelf behind
offers additional storage space. With the
backrests folded down, the luggage
compartment volume in the 911 Coupé
models increases to 205 litres and,
with a capacit y of 155 litres available,
the 911 Cabriolet models offer plent y of
space for luggage, too.
Child seats.
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.

Climate control.
The new 911 models feature t wo -zone
automatic climate control as standard
with an enhanced ventilation effect and
separate temperature controls for the
driver and front passenger. The available
air conditioning modes are gentle,

normal and strong.
An active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an automatic
air-recirculation function permanently
monitors air quality, reduces humidity
and switches from fresh to recirculated
air when required. A demister function keeps the windows
clear in cold weather. In warmer weather,
a solar sensor helps the climate control

to detect strong sunlight and automatically
compensate for the comfort of both the
driver and front passenger.
HomeLink®
(programmable garage door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door opener
integrated into the overhead console.
At the push of a but ton, it controls up
to three different garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.

Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.
