Our identity is found under the bonnet,
in the design and behind the steering wheel.

Comfort.
Driving a 911 is first and foremost
about the feel of the road in the original,
unadulterated and direct sense. Is it
possible, then, to mention the 911 and
comfort in the same breath? To speak
of systems that make driving ‘more
agreeable’, or of materials that feel
‘pleasant ’ to the touch? Good question.
In reality, however, should anyone really
be forced to choose one over the other?
Let ’s introduce ourselves to the concept
of sport y comfort – dynamic performance
that maintains composure even when
pushed to the extreme.
Interior.
Engineering and st yle – and Porsche
identit y on the inside, as demonstrated
by the ascending centre console. In
t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: focus on the
driver. This is why the distance bet ween
the gear lever or selector and steering
wheel is extremely short and the operat -
ing logic, such as that of the t wo -zone
air conditioning system or the suspension
settings, is clear and uncomplicated.
You shouldn’t have to browse one sub -
menu after another. You should instead
be able to concentrate on what ’s
important: the road. Our materials are high- qualit y with a
sporty character. The steering wheel rim,
door pulls and armrests are in leather,
for instance. Alcantara has proven its
worth in motorsport and is used as
standard for the roof lining of the Coupé
models.
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige and Yachting
Blue for the interior, there is a wide

range of other personalisation options
available, including two-
tone colour
combinations or special colours and
materials such as carbon, aluminium
or high - qualit y wood.

Comfort
Sports seats.
The Sports seats in partial leather are
comfortable and provide support even
during performance driving. They are
equipped as standard with electric seat
height and backrest adjustment and
mechanical fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle, squab depth, fore/aft position,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all seat
positions on the driver’s side as well as,
for example, the set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.
Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side
bolsters on the squab and backrest
have firmer, sportier padding and offer
even better lateral support.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport
and comfort. Finished in leather and
with side bolsters having a firm, sport y
padding, they also feature shoulder
supports for the best possible hold.
Offering 18-way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable. In addition, the side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest are independently
adjustable for added comfort on long
journeys and precision lateral support on
winding roads. Also included is the
personal memory for all seat positions
(apart from the side bolsters) and lumbar
support on the driver’s side as well as

the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports various set tings, such as
for the lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.

The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Sports bucket seats.1)
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we
can equip the seats (except for the
Sports bucket seats) with seat ventilation
on request. A slipstream effect is
pro duced by active ventilation of the
perfo
rated seat centre and backrest

and by passive aeration at the side
bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture and therefore makes for a dry
and pleas
ant seating environment, even
in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car and the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Carrera Coupé models increases
to 260 litres and, with a capacit y of
160 litres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models offer plent y of space for luggage,
too.
Child seats.1)
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.

Comfort
Climate control.
The 911 models feature t wo -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. A demister function
keeps the windows clear in cold weather. In warmer weather, a solar sensor helps
the climate control
to detect strong
sunlight and automatically
compensate
for the comfort of both the driver and
front passenger.
HomeLink® (programmable garage
door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door opener
integrated into the overhead console.
At the push of a but ton, it controls up
to three different garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.
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 30 –240 km/ h
speed range and is activated using a but -
ton on the steering column control stalk.

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.
‘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.
Adaptive cruise control with Porsche
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 moni -
tors the road ahead up to a distance of
200 m. 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 at a maximum rate of
3.5 m/sec
2 by restricting the throt tle
or by applying the brakes appropriate
to the prevailing situation until the dis -
tance 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 halt. 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 warn
-
ings. 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.
