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.

| The new 911 Carrera Cabriolet
The future of the sports car
is wide open again.
The new 911 Carrera Cabriolet.
Sometimes, the best option is to free
your mind, to look at things from a fresh
perspective and to explore your own
direction, not least when you’ve set
yourself ambitious goals for the future.
These goals can be achieved by opening
yourself up to new ideas.
This is the direction explored by the
new 911 Carrera Cabriolet. With forward-
looking hood engineering, lightweight
materials and an integrated wind deflector,
it conceives a new kind of freedom and
broadens the appeal of the sports car.
Smooth and firm, light and robust, the
design of the new hood is impressive in
terms of both appearance and
construction. It is made from three
ultra-lightweight magnesium elements
and is covered in fabric. This saves
weight, improves
aesthetics, and also
reduces unwanted noise. What you can
still hear, however, is the unadulterated
sound of your 911.
The new wind deflector is fit ted as
standard and offers practically

draught-free driving and minimal wind
noise. Operation could not be easier.
Integrated directly behind the rear seats,
it folds out electrically in just t wo seconds
and remains operable no mat ter how
fast you drive your 911. The performance figures of the new

911 Carrera Cabriolet reflect the ambi -
tious goals achieved by our engineers.
The new, downsized and rear-mounted
3.4-litre flat-six engine delivers 257 kW
(350 hp) at 7,400 rpm and enables
a top speed of 286 km/ h (177 mph).
Compared with the previous model, fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions have
been reduced by 15 %.
In summary, this articulate concept forms
the basis for a self-assured personalit y.
Typified by its courage to adapt and
change, it derives pleasure from exploring
new directions. After all, the future is
wide open.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions please refer to page 129.

Electrically-powered wind deflector.
Once again, our engineers have explored
new directions, this time in the wind
tunnel. The new 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models are equipped as standard with
an electrically-powered wind deflector,
which offers practically draught-free driving and minimal wind noise with the
top down.
With the 911, fit ting and removing the
wind deflector is now a thing of the past
because it is integrated directly into

the body behind the rear seats. As a
result, it doesn’t take up any extra space in the interior or luggage compartment
and it is ready for use at all times.
For unrestricted open-top driving pleasure,
the wind deflector extends or retracts in
only 2.0 seconds no mat ter how fast you
are driving.

Electric parking brake.
The new electric parking brake, which
you can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
With the hill-hold function, you can

pull away without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects when
the vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient requiring intervention.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The new 911 models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending
on the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g.
frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort to
the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair

of impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated far sooner and
with considerably greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the new 911 models
are equipped as standard with the
Porsche Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP). It comprises side impact protec -
tion elements in the doors and t wo air -bags on each side. An integral thorax

airbag is located in each seat side bolster,
while the door panels each contain an
upwards-inflating head airbag. Each
thorax airbag has a volume of 10 litres
and each head airbag 15 litres, ensuring
excellent protection in the event of a
side impact.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera
Cabriolet models have exemplary torsional
rigidit y and flexural strength. Body flexing
is minimal, even on the most poorly sur -
faced roads.
Increased protection is provided by an
automatically deploying roll-over protec -
tion 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
longitudinal forces. If the car were to
overturn, the roll-over bars would be
deployed instantly.

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.
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.
