SPORT button.
Exceptional design and a sport y character
are not mutually exclusive, as the SPORT
but ton proves. It enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is
on either comfort or sport y performance.
At the push of a but ton, the electronic
engine management system switches the
engine mapping to offer an even sharper
response and engine dynamics that are
more direct. In vehicles with
Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode

and the auto start/stop function are
automatically deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available as an
option. This integrated system provides
simultaneous enhancement for the chassis,
Art: very good.
Sport: excellent.
engine and transmission. Included in
the package are a performance display,
a digital and an analogue stopwatch and
the SPORT PLUS but ton. An additional
display in the steering wheel and instru
-
ment cluster indicates whether the
SPORT but tons and Launch Control have
been activated.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the new 911 Targa 4S,
the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC) switch to a harder damping set ting and offer more direct steering
and, therefore, better road holding.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has two additional functions:
‘Launch Control’, which can be used on the
track to achieve the best possible stand -
ing start, and the ‘motorsport-derived
gearshift strategy’ featuring extremely
short shift times and optimum shift
points for maximum acceleration.

Dynamic engine mounts.
The dynamic engine mounts are included
as part of the Sport Chrono Package. The
electronically controlled system minimises
the oscillations and vibrations of the entire
drivetrain, especially the engine, and
combines the benefits of a hard or soft
engine mounting arrangement.
The stiffness and damping properties
of the engine mounts are adapted to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. Handling is noticeably more
stable under load change conditions and
in fast corners. Whenever a less asser -
tive driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
engine mounts provide a greater level
of comfort.
Wheels.
The 9 11 Targa 4 is equipped with 19-inch
wheels as standard. These are light-
weight alloys featuring a classic sport y
design. Tyre sizes are 235/40 ZR 19

and 295/35 ZR 19 at the front and rear,
respectively.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to page 103. The S model is equipped with light-alloy
20-inch wheels as standard. The visual
effect is sport y and dynamic.
The large t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. Rolling
resistance, dry braking distances and
t yre weight are all comparatively low.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the new 9 11 Targa 4 models
are equipped with
Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) which maintains
stabilit y even at the limits of dynamic
driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor the direc -
tion, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. PSM uses this
information to calculate the actual

direction of travel at any given moment. If
the car begins to oversteer or under -
steer, PSM applies selective braking on
individual wheels to restore stability.

Under acceleration on wet or low-grip road
surfaces, PSM improves traction using
the automatic brake differential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). The result is a
high level of driving stabilit y and safet y
combined with extraordinary agility.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV and
PTV Plus).
PTV in conjunction with the manual
gearbox, or PT V Plus with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), are available as
options for the new 911 Targa 4 and
are standard on the new 9 11 Targa 4S.
Both systems actively enhance vehicle
dynamics and stabilit y by braking the
rear wheels as the situation demands.
In addition, a mechanical (PT V) or elec -
tronic (PT V Plus) rear-axle differential
lock is responsible for infinitely variable
torque distribution.
When the car is driven assertively into
a corner, moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel. Conse -
quently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel,
inducing an additional rotational pulse
(yaw moment) around the vehicle’s

vertical axis. This results in a direct and
sport y steering action as the car enters
the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and when accelerating out of corners,
the rear differential lock ensures greater
driving stability. Whichever system is
fitted, it interacts with Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) to improve driving stabilit y on a range of surface conditions,
including the wet and snow.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) has a proven track record
from the world of motorsport. The cross-
drilled ceramic brake discs have a diame -
ter of 350 mm front and rear for even
more formidable braking performance.
The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston aluminium monobloc brake
calipers at the rear – all finished in

yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent. PCCB enables shorter braking
distances in even the toughest road and
race conditions. The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic brake
discs, which are approximately 50
%
lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this

represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence of
this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.
Circuit racing will require extra main -
tenance to be carried out in addition to
the routine maintenance.
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 new 911 Targa 4 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.
Porsche Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP).
The new 9 11 Targa 4 models are equipped
as standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). It comprises
side impact protection elements 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 protection in the event
of a side impact.
Roll-over protection.
The 911 Targa 4 models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Increased protection is provided by the
steel roll-over protection system located
under the aluminium panel of the Targa
roll bar.

It also displays the navigation system
map, delivers various warnings, including
alerts from the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) system, and tells you the current
front /rear axle torque distribution. You
can also use it to carry out individual
set tings.
Steering wheels.
In the 9 11 Targa 4, there is a point at
which all forces come together: the
steering wheel, where driver and machine
meet. This is why all steering wheels have
a high-grip steering wheel rim in smooth-
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full-size airbag is integrated
as standard.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 60 mm for
reach and up to 40 mm for height.
Multifunction steering wheel.
The optional multifunction steering
wheel has four function but tons and t wo
thumbwheels for convenient operation
of audio, telephone and navigation func
-
tions, the colour display and on-board
computer. On request, the steering wheel
is available in smooth -finish leather,
carbon or mahogany.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to
change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module to
inform you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as an
option for the sports steering wheel and
multifunction steering wheel.
SportDesign steering wheel.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the left-
and right-hand steering wheel spokes.
Pull the right-hand paddle and PDK shifts
up. Pull the left-hand paddle and PDK
shifts down. When PDK has been com-
bined with the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the left- and right-hand spokes
additionally feature a display that tells
you whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS
and Launch Control functions have
been activated.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel is
adjustable for both height and reach and,
thanks to its grip mouldings, it ’s in safe
hands – even on the sportiest of drives.

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. The backrest
shells are finished in Silver Grey.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats provide 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
both exterior mirrors and all seat posi -
tions on the driver’s side as well as the
set tings for the steering wheel, lights,
wipers, air conditioning, door locks,
PCM, and instrument cluster.
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. Offering 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 four-way lumbar support. The

steering column is also electrically
adjustable.
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 a memory
function 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.

all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and the side bolsters of the
front seats.
In conjunction with seat heating, we can
equip the seats (except for the Sports
bucket seats) with seat ventilation on
request. A draught-free slipstream effect
is produced by active ventilation of the perforated 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. With the backrests
folded down, the luggage compartment
volume in the new 911 Targa 4 models,
with a capacit y of 160 litres, offers plent y
of space for luggage too.
