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.

‘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- off timer
keeps the day time running lights, the
taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
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
button on the steering column control stalk.
Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
are fitted as standard. Electrically folding
exterior mirrors with courtesy lighting
on both sides of the vehicle are available as an option. By illuminating the area in
front of the doors, they make it easier to
find your way in the dark. An auto -dimming
function for the rear-view mirror and
exterior mirrors, with an integrated rain
sensor for the windscreen wipers, is
available as an option. The SportDesign
exterior mirrors featuring a V-shaped
mirror base are also available as an
option.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist for the rear is fit ted as
standard. Featuring four inconspicuous
sensors fit ted at the rear, the system
audibly alerts the driver to the presence
of obstacles. An intermittent warning
tone increases in rapidity as the obstacle
is approached.
ParkAssist (front and rear).
An enhanced version of Park Assist,
with four sensors in the front end, is
available as an option. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display, which shows a
graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle or
approach the luggage compartment, the
door or luggage compartment lid unlocks.
The engine can then be started and
switched off using the electronic ignition
switch.
Anti-theft protection.
The new 9 11 Targa 4 models are equipped
as standard with an immobiliser with
in-key transponder and an alarm system
with radar-based interior surveillance.
The system secures the doors, luggage
compartment, passenger compartment
and ignition.
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Also available as an option is the
enhanced version of cruise control, which
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line
with the speed of the vehicle in front. A
radar sensor scans the road ahead up to
a distance of 200 m.
Sense of style | Comfort
Imagine you’ve selected 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/sec²
by restricting throt tle or by applying the
brakes as appropriate to the prevailing
situation until your chosen distance from
the vehicle in front is maintained.
Your vehicle now follows the vehicle
ahead at a reduced speed. If the vehicle
ahead slows further, adaptive cruise
control will decelerate your vehicle
accordingly – even down to a halt. As
soon as the road ahead clears, your
vehicle will accelerate back up to the
cruising speed originally set.
Porsche Active Safe (PAS) issues an audi-
ble and a visual warning if the system
detects that your vehicle is approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly. This is
accompanied by a brief jolt of the brakes
and, where necessary, the initiation of
targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume in the
new 911 Targa 4 models is 125 litres.
The luggage compartment is fully
trimmed in scratch-resistant materials.
