2013 PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 change wheel

2322
The 911 concept follows a clear design
idiom which incorporates sloping dynamic
roof lines, accentuated front and rear wings
and round headlights. Together, these
features ensure that the
9 11 is just as
unmistakable now as it was 50 years ago.
It goes without saying that these principles
apply equally to the new 911 Targa. But
the car has the innovative roof concept
to thank for its individual looks and unique
engineering features. The elegantly
rounded rear screen and
the bar lent the original Targa a certain
lightness which
has inspired designers
throughout
the world of vehicle design,
and indeed beyond.
For the new 911 Targa, our designers
sought – and found – a way of directly
expressing both the distinctive individual
st yle of the original Targa and the sport y
performance that characterises the sev -
enth generation of the 911. Consequently,
Fashion changes.
But style endures.
Exterior design.
it now features an even flat ter silhouet te,
crisp clean lines and an extended wheel -
base for even greater stabilit y. Above all
else, a revolutionary roof concept
which,
rather than running counter
to the evolved
design idiom of the
9 11, blends with it to
create a harmonious whole. The result is
a design which is
purposely timeless and
yet always current.

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.

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.

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) is fit ted as standard. Powerful,
multifunctional and yet easy to use, PCM
is your control centre for audio, naviga-
tion and communication functions.
The main feature is the intuitive 7-inch
high-definition touchscreen. Alternatively,
you can choose to operate PCM using
the rotary pushbutton controls or the
buttons and thumbwheels on the optional
multifunction steering wheel.
The DVD-audio drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3- compatible. Audio play -back of video DVDs is also supported. A
six-disc CD/DVD autochanger integrated
into PCM is available as an option.
The universal audio interface (USB) in

the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source
– also for the purposes of charging.
You can download the performance display
data from the Sport Chrono Package and
data from the electronic logbook via the
USB port. You can also transfer up to
5,000 tracks (40 GB) in MP3 format to
the internal hard drive (or Jukebox) of the
PCM and play them from there. Podcasts
and audiobooks are recognised and played
and cover art is displayed.
The navigation module in PCM features a
high-speed hard drive and allows you to
choose bet ween a 2D display and a 3D
perspective. In some regions, it is also
possible to display the terrain (with an
overlaid satellite map) and buildings in 3D.
The navigation module also has a dynamic

route guidance function which takes

into account official traffic messages
(TMC) and additional traffic flow sensors
( T M C P r o ) .*
Digital radio.
The standard digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto -
matically switches bet ween digital and
analogue to ensure optimum reception of
the selected station.

* TMC Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland.
