In an era of intensifying debate about
global
climate change and CO2 emissions,
every automotive manufacturer is asking
what it has to offer right now. Our answer
is ‘high performance must be accom panied
by high efficiency’.
Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category. This is enabled, on the one hand, by the
use of fuel-efficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct
fuel injection or coasting mode. On the
other hand, new cataly tic converters
developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control through the use of
stereo Lambda control circuitry.
Sustainable driving pleasure
is ultimately a question of good style too.
Porsche and the environment.
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is
fundamental to the Porsche identit y. It
is expressed through the use of a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics, super-high-strength sheet steel
and environmentally friendly water-based
paints. All materials are meticulously
and purposefully selected. All lightweight
materials are easily recyclable and
all plastic components are labelled to
facilitate their separation for subsequent
recycling. In short, the 911 is now around
95 % recoverable.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate using fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %, e. g.
‘E10’. Ethanol has a positive impact on
the CO
2 balance since the plants grown
for the production of this biofuel also
absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.

Climate control.
The new 911 Targa 4 models feature
two-zone automatic climate control as
standard with an enhanced ventilation
effect and separate 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.
In warmer weather, a solar sensor helps
the climate control to detect strong sun

light and automatically compensate for
the comfort of both the driver and front

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.
