Wheels.
On the new 911, the wheels have been
enlarged by one inch over the previous
model. Not only do the larger wheels
improve dynamic performance, they
also look more imposing.
The new 911 Carrera models are
equipped with 19-inch Carrera wheels as
standard. These are lightweight
alloys featuring a classic sport y design.
Tyre sizes are 235/40 ZR 19 and
285/35 ZR 19 at the front and rear
respectively.
The S models are equipped with light-
alloy 20 -inch Carrera S wheels as
standard. The visual effect is sport y and
dynamic. The t yres are slightly wider to cope with the increased power output
of these models: 245/35 ZR 20 at the
front, 295/30 ZR 20 at the rear.
The larger t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. The

rolling resistance of the t yres
has been
reduced by up to 7 % to improve
fuel
economy, while t yre weight and dry brak -
ing distances have also been reduced. A selection of 20-inch wheels is available in
our range of options.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is available
on request. This safet y system sends
warnings to the on-board computer’s
display screen in the event of low t yre
pressure or a gradual or sudden loss
of pressure. The individual pressures
in all four t yres can be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the new 911 models

are equipped with enhanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM), which
maintains stability even at the limits of
dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction,
speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration
of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction
of travel at any given moment. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving st yle.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,
for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels)
requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of
driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an
apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit y.

The new 911 models are equipped as
standard with Bi-Xenon headlights

including a headlight cleaning system and
dynamic range control. With dipped or
main beam, the road ahead is illuminated
more uniformly.
The rest yled LED front light units
incorporate direction indicators, daytime -
running lights and position lights.
Automatic headlight activation is also
included as standard. The moment it gets
dark, the daytime running lights switch
off and the dipped beam headlights
switch on automatically. Cut ting edge LED technology is also used
for the taillights, the high-level third brake
light, the licence plate illumination, the
rear direction indicators and the rear fog
light. LEDs provide bet ter illumination and
respond more quickly to driver input.
In the event of sudden braking, the adaptive
LED brake lights begin to pulsate. If the
vehicle is braked to a halt, the hazard
warning lights will switch on automatically,
alerting following traf fic more quickly to

a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automatic
switch-off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function. It ’s good to know what ’s around
the next corner or on the way to your
front door.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option.
Its dynamic cornering light function
swivels the headlights towards the inside
of a bend, based on steering angle and
road speed, in order to illuminate more of the road at tight bends and turns.

Put simply, the road ahead is illuminated
the moment you enter a bend.
The system also of fers speed -sensitive
headlight range control. With adaptive
light systems, it is possible for the maxi -
mum range of the dipped beams to be
increased as a function of the speed of

To see something coming, experience helps.
So does forward-looking technology.

Lights.the vehicle. PDLS takes care of this
automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage 2 is designed for
driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 130 km/ h (80 mph),
the range is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse
weather function, activated whenever the
rear fog light is switched on. It reduces
the effect of reflection phenomena in
poor visibilit y conditions to avoid the risk
of the driver being dazzled.

Engineering that takes you forward:

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module and a
high-resolution 7-inch colour touchscreen
is fit ted as standard. PCM is your control
centre for audio, navigationand communi -
cation functions.Instruments.
Sporty not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five circular instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately.
Their st yling is t ypically Porsche with the
rev counter exactly where you would
expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y

is
sound. The Sound Package Plus offer
outstanding performance with a total
output of 235 watts. Available as an option
is the BOSE
® Surround Sound System
with a total output of 445 wat ts. In short,
it delivers authentic audio playback com -
bined with an impressive spatial sound.
No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the optional High-End Surround Sound System from
Burmester
®, the bespoke manufacturer
based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. With a total output of 821 watts,
it ensures an incredible audio experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional sound systems and also saves weight.

Ergonomics, st yle and sound. Sports car
technology, intelligently combined.
The instrument cluster is new with a high-
resolution 4.6-inch TFT colour screen.

It provides you with a continuous stream
of data from the on-board computer,
such as speed, trip mileage, journey time
or current fuel consumption. It also dis -
plays the navigation system map, delivers
various warnings, including alerts from
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, and reminds you of your selected
communication and audio settings.

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.
