Exterior design
Can you imagine a face without an expression?

Exterior design.
Every child recognises a 911, but can its
identit y be described in words? It can, by
looking more closely at the use of form,
proportions and contours. The roof line
tapers down into the rear. The wings are
higher than the front lid and, at the rear,
they add muscle. They give the 911 its
distinctive expression and leave you in
no doubt as to its temperament.
The overall appearance is low, wide and
sleek. Typically 911.
So, is every thing just the same as it has
been since 1963? Yes, and no. After all,
only those who change will remain true
to themselves – and we’ve changed. Our designers and engineers speak
guardedly about the 911 evolution.

Meanwhile, they continually manage to
take great strides forward with innova -
tions motivated by the principle that
these should be functional and perfectly
compatible. The result is a harmonious
overall concept that makes the new 911
a sports car fit for the 21st century.
To show you what we mean, we should
start by looking at the car’s exterior. The
wheelbase of the new 911 is 100 mm
longer for improved driving stability and
cornering dynamics. Overhang is now
shorter at the front and rear, making the
new 911 look even more compact. The sporty overall impression is emphasised
by the lower roof line and a wider track
at the front – 46 mm on the 911 Carrera
models and 52 mm on the 911 Carrera S
models. For improved aerodynamics, the
exterior mirrors are now mounted directly
on the doors. Increased agility is just one
of the results of all these refinements.
The silhouette is therefore typically 911
and t ypical in terms of its development,
which will now be described in more detail.

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.

Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
The most prominent new feature of the
electrically adjustable exterior mirrors is
their position. They are mounted directly
on the doors for improved aerodynamics.
Electrically folding exterior mirrors with
courtesy lighting on both sides of the
vehicle are available as an option.

Roof transport system.
Available as an option for the Coupé
models, the new roof transport system in
aluminium is aerodynamically efficient,
very light weight and easy to fit. A range
of at tachments is available, such as a
roof box, a bike carrier or a ski/snowboard
carrier. Maximum roof load is 75 kg.
By illuminating the area in front of the
doors, they make it easier to find your
way in the dark.
An auto-dimming function for the rear-
view mirror and exterior mirrors, with
an integrated rain sensor for the wind -
screen wipers, is available as an option.Slide/tilt sunroof.
The optional electrically adjustable slide/
tilt sunroof for the Coupé models is a
completely new design. It opens out wards
so that it does not interfere with head -
room. Another advantage of the new
design is the much larger aperture for
increased driving pleasure under the
open sky. The newly developed t wo -position net-
t ype wind deflector protects against
draught and further reduces wind noise.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in the
911 Cabriolet models and is available as
an option for the 911 Coupé models.

Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, the system audibly alerts
the driver to the presence of obstacles
detected behind the vehicle. An intermit -tent warning tone increases in rapidity

as the obstacle is approached.
An enhanced version of Park Assist,
with four sensors in the front end, is
available as an option. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning
in the central display screen, which
shows a graphical representation of
the vehicle from overhead.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume
in the new 911 models is 135 litres.
The luggage compartment is fully
trimmed in scratch - resistant materials.
