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.

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. 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.
The memory function also supports, for
example, set tings for the steering wheel,
lights, wipers, air conditioning, door locks,
PCM, and instrument cluster.
Sports bucket seats.*
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 carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.
On request, the Sports bucket seats are
also available with the integrated memory
package. The package includes electric
steering column adjustment and a memory
function for both exterior mirror positions
as well as the set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning, door
locks, PCM and instrument cluster.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
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.
