2013 PORSCHE 911 TURBO reset

Benchmark: the 911 Turbo.
When Porsche unveiled the first 911 Turbo 40 years ago, it instantly
became the new benchmark of high performance. Through four decades
of engineering evolution, and through countless victories across the
world of motorsports, the 911
T
urbo has remained our benchmark—for
everything that Porsche builds. With each new 911 Turbo, the starting
point for getting to the very limit of what’s possible is reset. Once again.

910 911 Tu r b o | Design
A lot of designed objects make
a stunning debut. Very few
achieve lasting impact.
Design can only endure if form is not
just a shell. If form truly follows function,
then that object cannot—should not—
be any thing else. When that ideal is
realized, the result is something truly
timeless; something that will serve
as the essential reference point for
every thing that comes after it. There can be no doubt about the origin
of the new 911 Turbo. In its form,
proportions, and lines, it is clearly
evolved from all previous 911 Turbo
models. The changes are subtle yet
profound. The fenders are higher than
the front hood; the extra inch at the back
compared to previous models creates an
especially dynamic tension. Height and
overhangs have been reduced, while the
wheelbase is approximately four inches
longer, improving stability and stretching
the characteristic arc of the 911 roofline. The new 911 Turbo looks more
powerful, more agile, sportier.
An iconic feature of the 911 Turbo
is the rear aerodynamic wing. In the
new 911 Turbo, it ’s been completely
revised and, together with the
adaptive spoiler at the front, forms
the completely new Porsche Active
Aerodynamics (PA A) system.
The design of the new 911 Turbo
Cabriolet is also resetting standards in
both form and function. The integrated
supporting magnesium elements of the
fabric top are light weight yet rigid to
help the Cabriolet retain the distinctive
form of the 911 when the top is up.
And at the same time, they help make
it extremely stable, to enhance the
structural rigidit y of the chassis that is
so essential to a Porsche sports car.

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
rear seats, door openers, door storage
compartments, and front foot wells.
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 system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door and the
luggage compartment lid unlock. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch. To lock the vehicle, you simply press
the but ton on the outside of the door
handle. Porsche Entry & Drive then locks
the vehicle and activates the engine
immobilizer and steering-column lock.
Glass Tilt/Slide Sunroof
For the 911 Turbo Coupe
models, a power-adjustable tilt /
slide sunroof is available in tinted
single-glazed safety glass.
An integral power sunblind provides
shade from unwanted bright light. The
design, headroom, and aperture of
the glass roof are identical to those
of the steel tilt /slide sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when
closed, the glass sunroof still gives
you that open-to-the-sky feeling.
Reversing Camera
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist front and
rear) facilitates reverse parking and
maneuvering. Help is provided in the
form of a high-contrast color image
with dynamic guidelines on the PCM
screen, which shows the predicted
course of the vehicle based on the
current position of the steering wheel.
Cruise Control
For greater driver comfort on long
stretches of road, this automatic
speed control function is standard on
the 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
Cruise control operates above 19 m p h

and is activated using a but ton on
the steering-column control stalk.
Adaptive Cruise Control Including
Po

rsche Active Safe (PAS)
Available as an option, this cruise
control function regulates your speed
according to the distance bet ween
your vehicle and the vehicle in front.
A radar sensor monitors the road
ahead at up to a distance of 656 feet.
If you have set 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 up to a maximum
rate of 11 f t . /s e c by restricting
the throt tle or gently applying the
brakes, until the distance that you
have preset is maintained. Your
vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates
further, Adaptive Cruise Control will
continue to reduce your cruising
speed— even down to a complete stop.
For additional safet y, if the system
detects that the distance from the
vehicle in front is decreasing, it will
also prepare your vehicle for braking
by precharging the braking system
so that the brake pads are already
in light contact with the brake discs.
However, drivers still have to perform
heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up
to the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle
in front too quickly, Porsche Active
Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual
warnings. In addition, the system briefly
jerks the brakes and if necessary
initiates target braking, with any braking
pressure applied by the driver being
increased within certain system limits.

Powerful, functional, and easy to use.
Isn’t that how everything in a Porsche is supposed to be?
Audio and communication.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Including Navigation Module
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) is standard equipment in the
new 911 Turbo models. PCM is your
control center for audio, navigation,
and communication functions.
The main feature is the intuitive 7-inch
color touchscreen. Or you can choose
to operate PCM using conventional
rotary push-but ton controls. With a
maximum of five list items per page, the screen display is very clearly
presented. Radio functions include
up to 42 memory presets and an FM
twin-tuner frequency diversity with
RDS, which continuously scans in
the background for the best signal.
The DVD audio drive plays CDs and
audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible.
Audio playback of video DVDs
is also supported. A 6-disc CD/
DVD changer integrated into
PCM is available as an option.
The standard universal audio interface
(AUX) USB port in the glove compartment
enables you to connect your iPod
® or
any audio source. Recharging is also
supported. Once connected, your
iPod
® or USB stick is then conveniently
and safely operated via the PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel,
or the optional voice-control system.
Podcasts and audiobooks are recognized
and played and cover art is displayed.
The navigation module in PCM allows you to choose bet ween a 2-D display and
a 3-D perspective. In some regions, it
is possible to display the terrain (with
a superimposed satellite map) and
buildings in 3-D. Split-screen mode
enables you to view t wo functions at
once, such as the current navigation
map and a list of symbols that
represent the next driving maneuver.
