| The 911 Carrera Cabriolet
The future of the sports car
is wide open again.

The 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
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 hood is impressive in terms
of both appearance and construction.

It
is made from three ultra ­light weight
magnesium elements and is covered in
fabric. This saves weight and, not only
does it improve aesthetics, it also reduces
unwanted noise. What you can still hear,
however, is the unadulterated sound of
y o u r 9 11 .
The 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
up to a speed of 74 mph.
The performance figures of the
911 Carrera Cabriolet reflect the ambi ­
tious goals achieved by our engineers.
The 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
177 mph. Compared with the previous
model, fuel consumption and CO
2 emis ­
sions 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 pages 143/145.

Electrically powered wind deflector.
Once again, our engineers have explored
new directions, this time in the wind
tunnel. The 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 t wo seconds and can be operated at
speeds of up to 74 mph.

Electric parking brake.
The 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 911 Carrera 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 not just sooner,
but with even greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models are
equipped as standard with the Porsche
Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side impact protection ele ­
ments in the doors and t wo airbags 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 pro ­
tection 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.
t wo spring­loaded 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 partial 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.

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 firmer, sportier padding and offer
even better lateral support.
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 18­way 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 four ­way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle, squab depth, fore/aft position,
four ­way lumbar support and even the
steering column.
The integrated memory package supports
the exterior mirrors and all seat positions
on the driver’s side as well as, for exam ­
ple, the set tings for the steering wheel,
lights, wipers, air conditioning, door locks,
standard PCM, and instrument cluster. 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, for example, set tings for
the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air
conditioning, door locks, standard PCM,
and instrument cluster.
The ideal basis for any relationship:

Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Sports bucket seats.1)
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass ­ and carbon­fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.

Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option
for all seats.
2) 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 (except for the
Sports bucket seats) with seat ventilation
on request. A slipstream effect is pro ­
duced by active ventilation of the perfo ­
rated seat centre and backrest and by
passive aeration at the side bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and pleas
­
ant seating environment, even in hot
weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably comforta ­
ble for a sports car and the shelf behind
offers additional storage space. With
the backrests folded down, the luggage
compartment volume in the 911 Carrera
Coupé models increases to 260 litres
and, with a capacit y of 160 litres availa ­
ble, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models
offer plent y of space for luggage, too.
Child seats.1)
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.
Spor ts bucket seat folded down

Climate control.
The 911 models feature t wo
­zone auto ­
matic climate control as standard with
an enhanced ventilation effect and sepa ­
rate 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.
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 18–149 mph
speed range and is activated using a but ­
ton on the steering column control stalk.
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.
Adaptive cruise control with Porsche
Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option, this cruise control
function regulates your speed according
to the distance bet ween your vehicle and
the vehicle in front. A radar sensor moni ­
tors the road ahead up to a distance of
200 m. If you have set a cruising speed but have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly,
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed

of your vehicle at a maximum rate of
3.5 m/sec
2 by restricting the throt tle
or by applying the brakes appropriate
to the prevailing situation until the dis ­
tance that you have preset is maintained. Your vehicle will now continue at a
reduced speed. If the other vehicle

decelerates further, adaptive cruise
control will continue to reduce your
cruising speed – even down to a halt. For additional safet y, if the system detects
that the distance from the vehicle in front
is decreasing, it will also prepare your
vehicle for braking by precharging the braking system so that the brake pads
are already in light contact with the
brake discs. However, drivers still have
to perform heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up to
the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle

in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe
(PAS) will issue audible and visual warn ­
ings. In addition, the system briefly jerks
the brakes and if necessary initiates
target braking, with any braking pressure
applied by the driver being increased
within certain system limits.
