Interior design
Sporty ergonomics for ordinary driving.
Extraordinary comfort for sporty driving.

Interior design.
At Porsche, we don’t build everyday
sports cars, we build sports cars for every -
day use. How? By understanding that
great agilit y and maximum comfort are
not mutually exclusive but are, in fact,
aspects of a harmonious overall concept.
This is especially true of the interior
of the new 911. Sportiness, functionality
and high qualit y materials combine to
form a cohesive whole that is conducive
to dynamic driving, even during everyday
use.
What this means becomes clear the
moment you get in. The extended wheel -
base now offers 25 mm more leg room
in the front than in previous 911 models. Sportiness in harmony with comfort is

the theme which is reflected in the clever
ergonomics that characterise the entire
interior design. The materials used, the
layout of the controls and their operating
logic belong to a new generation of
sports car. Another new design for the
new 911 is the elevated centre console.
Its intelligent operating concept follows
a clear principle of direct simplicity.
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement
of the five circular instruments with the
rev counter in the middle. A new addition
is the instrument cluster featuring a high-
resolution 4.6-inch full VGA TFT colour
display for viewing on-board computer,
audio system or navigation information. Fit ted as standard, the Sports seats

combine even greater comfort with
racing-st yle support and now feature
4 -way electric adjustment. The new
automatic climate control with zonal
temperature controls for driver and
front passenger also comes as standard.
Also new is the optional light design
package for the foot wells, storage
compartments, rear compartment and
overhead console. As ever, we offer
an extensive selection of interior colours
and materials, such as carbon, leather,
wood or aluminium.
Acoustics are an integral part of the
concept, particularly the engine sound.
Available as an option is the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System.
Optimised for the new 911 Carrera model
range, it features 12 loudspeakers and
a total output of 821 wat ts for a perfect
spatial sound.
The new 911 proves that apparent oppo -
sites, such as st yle and engineering or
comfort and performance, can go hand
in hand. For us, there is no contradiction
and certainly no need for compromise.
After all, a strong personalit y does not
deny the existence of opposites, it unites
them.

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.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.
Light design package (overhead console)
Light design package (door pulls) Light design package (rear)
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing.
It comprises dimmable LEDs in the over -
head console and in the areas of the
door pulls, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
For convenience, particularly at night,
the ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day -
time running lights for a defined period
whenever the vehicle is opened or
closed using the key remote. A customisable delayed switch - of f timer
keeps the daytime running lights, the

taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
Cruise control.
This automatic speed control function
is available as an option. For greater
driver comfort on long stretches of road,
cruise control operates in the 30 –240 km/ h
(18 –149 m p h )
speed range and is activat -
ed using a
button on the steering column
control stalk.
