2013 PORSCHE 911 TURBO center console

Cabriolet Top
The fabric roof in the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models has been completely
revised. It uses three integrated
supporting elements made from
magnesium. Light yet strong, the
magnesium components make the top
extremely stable at high speeds—
without adding unnecessary weight.
The magnesium structure also creates a
top that is smooth and taut. The fabric
is close-fit ting and forms a line that is
even more elegant than in the previous
model. Yet the benefit is far from being
just superficial. The firm fabric roof of the
new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models helps
achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.31. The glass rear window is
scratch-re
sistant and heated. A
water
-de
flecting edge on the top
helps prevent rainwater from dripping
onto you when you open the doors.
The top is operated electrically by
a but ton in the center console, and
it opens or closes in approximately
13 seconds—at speeds of up to
31 mph. The top folds in a Z-shape so
the inside is always well-protected.
Inside, the roof is covered with
heat- and noise-insulating material,
resulting in uniform interior
temperatures and effective wind
noise suppression. What do you hear
instead? That unmistakable sound of
the Porsche Turbo exhaust note.
Electric Wind Deflector
Developed in a wind tunnel and made
for relative wind: The 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models come standard with
a new electric wind deflector. This
ensures that you can drive with the
top down with minimal wind noise,
and without sacrificing the car’s low
drag coefficient. You can extend and
retract the wind deflector at speeds
of up to 75 mph—at the press of a
but ton and in only t wo seconds. Manually fit ting and removing the wind
deflector is no longer necessary. It is
now integrated directly into the body and
rests behind the back seats, so it does
not need any additional space inside the
vehicle or in the luggage compartment
and is ready to use at any time.

Thermal Management
The thermal management system
regulates the temperature in the engine
and transmission through the intelligent
manipulation of heat flow. It allows the
engine and transmission to reach their
optimal operating temperatures sooner.
The result? Combustion efficiency and
lubrication performance are improved,
and fuel consumption is reduced.
Auto Start Stop Function
The Auto Start Stop function is standard
in the new 911 Turbo models. When
the speed falls below 4 mph and the
911 Turbo is decelerating normally, the
engine switches off. For example, as you
are slowing while approaching a red light.
Audio and communication systems
remain switched on. The climate
control continues to maintain your
selected temperature. The engine
starts again when you release the
brake or move the steering wheel.
The Auto Start Stop function may remain
inactive under particular circumstances,
for example if the bat tery charge is
low, when the Sport but ton is selected,
or when there are extreme outside
temperatures. It is also possible to
deactivate the function manually using a
separate button on the center console.
Electrical System Recuperation
Another fuel-saving innovation that’s
standard on the new 911 Turbo models
is electrical system recuperation
technology. It captures the energy
created during events such as braking.
The vehicle bat tery is recharged by
the alternator, predominantly under
braking. Under acceleration, on the
other hand, the power draw of the
alternator is limited to increase the
engine output available for driving.
The electrical systems are supplied
by the electrical energy stored
during the recharging process.

Sport Button
Standard on all new 911 Turbo models,
the Sport but ton enables you to select
a suspension setup to emphasize 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. In conjunction with
the Sport Chrono Package (standard
in the 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet), the overboost
function is then active and the dynamic
engine mounts become much firmer.
In Sport mode, PDK ensures that
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts happen sooner.
Coasting mode and the Auto Start
Stop function are deactivated.
Sport Chrono Package Including
Dynamic Engine Mounts
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is standard in
the 911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the new 911 Turbo. This
integrated system provides simultaneous
enhancement for the chassis,
including rear-axle steering, engine,
transmission, and aerodynamics.
The main features include a digital
and analog stopwatch mounted on the
dashboard, a performance display in the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system, the Sport Plus but ton,
and the overboost function.
Activate Sport Plus mode and here’s what
happens: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
suspension management, becomes more responsive. PASM and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC)—standard in the
new 911 Turbo S—switch to Sport Plus
mode for a firmer suspension set ting,
more direct steering while cornering, and
increased roll stabilization. The rear-axle
steering also reacts more directly—for
even more agile steering. As part of
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A),
the automatic adjustment of the front
and rear spoilers is also impacted in
the performance setting in Sport Plus
mode. So you can make full use of the
performance potential of your 911 Turbo.
In Sport Plus mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit
acceleration. For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the car
i

s
still in Sport Plus mode. Although, for
safet y, it ’s still there in the background. With the Sport or Sport Plus but ton
active, under full acceleration, the
maximum boost pressure in the
lower and medium speed ranges
is now temporarily increased by
approximately
2 psi: the overboost.
Engine torque is also boosted
by 37 lb.-ft. for a short time—to
524 lb.-ft. in the 911 Turbo and the
911 Turbo Cabriolet. In the 911 Turbo S
models, it goes up to 553 lb.-ft.
The Sport Chrono Package has t wo
additional functions. The first is
Launch Control, which helps achieve
optimal acceleration from a standing
start. The second function is the
motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
Using this, PDK optimizes shift
points to the shortest possible shift
times for maximum acceleration.

Body
The innovative bodyshell of the new
911 Turbo models fulfills t wo structural
design requirements: first, excellent
driving dynamics due to the body’s
extremely high rigidit y. Second, a
savings in vehicle weight, primarily due
to its intelligent lightweight construction.
To meet the second requirement, we
employed state-of-the-art techniques
for combining various materials in order
to utilize specific material properties
exactly where they are needed.
Take the bodyshell, for example. It uses
very thin—but extremely rigid—sheets
of steel. Aluminum and magnesium
were utilized extensively in areas
including the roof, underbody, doors,
engine compartment, and luggage compartment lids. Magnesium, which
is a particularly lightweight material,
was also selected for the cockpit
and center console support beam.
Reducing the overall weight—i.e.,
improving the power-to-weight ratio—
translates directly into the aim of
increasing performance, whether
that ’s measured by the acceleration,
steering, or braking. And it ’s measurable
another way, too: at the fuel pump.
Reduced fuel consumption.
For the driver, reducing the weight
of the 911 Turbo results in a high
level of comfort as well. Vibration-
damping characteristics are
excellent and, compared to the
previous model, torsional stiffness
has increased up to 25 percent to
create even sportier handling.
Airbags and the Po
rsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) System
The airbag technology in the new 911 Turbo
models provides full-size driver and front-
passenger airbags, which are inflated in t wo
stages depending on the severit y and t ype
of accident. In less serious accidents, the
airbags are only partially inflated to help
minimize discomfort to the occupants.
Another standard feature is the Porsche
Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system.
This system comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo
airbags on each side, an integral thorax
airbag located in each seat side bolster,
and a head airbag contained in each of
the door panels. Knee airbags are also
standard on all 911 Turbo models.
Rollover Protection in the
Cabriolet Models
Despite their light weight, the 911 Turbo
Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal, especially when
compared with driving most other open-
top sports cars on uneven road surfaces.
In the event of a 911 Turbo Cabriolet
model rolling over, additional protection
is provided by a supplemental safet y
roll bar protection system that deploys
automatically. The two spring-loaded
rollover bars are located behind
the back seats. The rollover sensor
continuously monitors the car’s pitch
and roll, lateral and longitudinal
acceleration, and contact with the road.
In an emergency, it deploys the rollover
bars within a fraction of a second.

1 911 Turbo interior in Espresso
With the new 911 Turbo models, our
engineers have pushed forward into
the extreme performance range. The
fact that the driver can remain quite
composed is also due to the answers
they have found to the questions about
sportiness, ergonomics, and comfort.
Interior
A Porsche interior is never frivolous,
always direct. In the new 911 Turbo,
clever technology and clear operating
logic allow the driver to experience
all that makes this the benchmark for
Porsche performance, as evident at once
from the ascending center console. In t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: Focus on the
driver. It ’s why the distance bet ween
the gear selector and steering wheel is
extremely short, and the operating logic
of systems such as the dual-zone air
conditioning or the suspension is clear
and uncomplicated. You shouldn’t have to
browse one submenu after another. You
should instead be able to concentrate on
what ’s singularly important: the road.
Materials of high qualit y define the sport y
character of each 911 Turbo model.
The standard Leather package includes
Leather seats, dashboard, and door and
side trims. Alcantara
® has proven its
worth in motorsport and is now standard
for the roof liner on the Coupe models.
The exclusive two-tone interior in Black
and Carrera Red is reserved especially
for the 911 Turbo S models. Dashboard,
center console, and door panel trim
strips in Carbon are standard in these
models (available as an option for the
911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet).
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige, and Yachting
Blue for the interior, there is a wide range
of other personalization options available, including two-tone color combinations
or special colors and materials such as
Carbon, Aluminum, or high-quality Wood.
Engineering that takes you forward: the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system with navigation module
and a high-resolution 7-inch color
touchscreen. PCM is your control
center for audio, navigation, and
communication functions. It’s fitted as
standard in the new 911 Turbo models.
Inside, yet another Porsche extreme:

extreme quiet.
Comfort.
