Sporty ergonomics for ordinary driving.
Extraordinary comfort for sporty driving.

Interior design.
At Porsche, we don’t build everyday
sports cars, we build sports cars for
everyday use. How? By understanding
that great agilit y and maximum comfort
are not mutually exclusive but are, in
fact, aspects of a harmonious overall
concept.
This is especially true of the interior of
the 911. Sportiness, functionality and
high-quality materials combine to form
a cohesive whole that is conducive to
dynamic driving, even during everyday
use. This becomes clearer the moment you
get in. The long wheelbase in all 911
models offers an astonishing amount of
leg and head room.
Sportiness in harmony with comfort is
the theme that is reflected in the clever
ergonomics that characterise the entire
interior design. The materials used, the
layout of the controls and their operating
logic belong to a modern- day sports car.
Another is the ascending centre console.
Its intelligent operating concept follows a
clear principle of direct simplicity.A classic 911 feature is the arrangement
of the five round instruments with the rev
counter in the middle. The instrument
cluster is contemporary, featuring a
high-resolution 4.6-inch colour screen

for viewing information relating to the
adaptive cruise control function, the
audio system, the speed limit indicator
and more.
Acoustics are an integral part of the
concept, particularly the engine sound.
Available as an option is the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System. Optimised for the 911 Carrera model
range, it features 12 loudspeakers and a
total output of 821 wat ts for a perfect
spatial sound.
The 911 proves that apparent opposites,
such as st yle and engineering or comfort
and performance, can go hand in hand.
For us, there is no contradiction and
certainly no need for compromise. After
all, a strong personalit y does not deny
the existence of opposites, it unites
them.

| Transmission
The long and winding road is where you’d like to be.
Sometimes, it pays to take the direct route.
Transmission.
The 7-speed manual gearbox.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shift move -
ments and an optimum transition from
one gear to the next. That ’s exactly what
you would expect of a Porsche manual
gearbox.
What you might not have expected is a
7 -speed manual gearbox that combines
a high level of sport y performance with
an equally high level of efficiency and
offers extra comfort for longer journeys. It’s an exceptional innovation, and not
only in the sports car segment.
The design of this manual gearbox is
based in principle on that of Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). Gears 1 to 6 have
a sports ratio and top speed is reached
in 6th gear. The additional 7th gear,
however, has a long ratio, which reduces
torque and helps to reduce fuel consump
-
tion. Lower engine revs at fast driving
speeds also ensure a high level of comfort
on long stretches of road. In addition,
a gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you actively conserve fuel.
Thanks to the elevated centre console,
the gear lever is within easy reach –
ideal for sport y gear changes.
Whether you select a sport y or comfortable
gear, the way you reach your destination
is in your own hands.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 141/143.

SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the SPORT but ton
enables you to select a suspension setup
where the emphasis is on either comfort
or sport y performance. At the push of a
button, the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode

and the auto start/stop function are
automatically deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available
as an option. This integrated system
provides simultaneous enhancement for
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop -
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.

Additional performance enhancement systems.Electromechanical power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency
is a system that works only when it is
needed, and then does so in a particularly
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our
engineers in the development of the electromechanical power steering. Statis-

tics show that a car drives in a straight
line 90 % of the time. Unlike conventional
hydraulic pumps, the electric motor uses
energy only when the steering wheel is
actually turned. The absence of hydraulic
fluid also makes the system more
bene ficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10 % is concerned, we’re
optimally prepared as the steering system
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable
steering ratio and responds sensitively
and directly at the same time as providing
customary agilit y, a high level of comfort
and precisely selected feedback from the
road. Our definition of efficient.
Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the comfort-enhancing
power steering system, is available as an
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible,
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer-
ing comfort remains as high. At low speeds,
the steering ratio of Power steering Plus
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.

Wheels.
The 911 Carrera models are equipped
with 19-inch Carrera wheels as standard.
These are light weight alloys featuring a
classic sport y design. Tyre sizes are
235/40 ZR 19 and 285/35 ZR 19 at the
front and rear, respectively. All-wheel-
drive models are fit ted with even wider
295/35 ZR 19 t yres at the rear.The S models are equipped with light-
alloy 20 -inch Carrera
S wheels as
standard. The visual effect is sport y and
dynamic. The t yres are slightly wider to
cope with the increased power output of
these models: 245/35 ZR 20 at the
front, 295/30 ZR 20 at the rear. All-
wheel-drive models have 305/30 ZR 20
t yres at the rear.
The large t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. Rolling
resistance, dry braking distances and t yre
weight are all comparatively low, thereby
helping to reduce fuel consumption.
A selection of 20 -inch wheels is available
in our range of options.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Integrated as standard, Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) sends warnings to the
on-board computer’s display screen in
the event of low t yre pressure or a
gradual or sudden loss of pressure. The
individual pressures in all four t yres can
be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the 911 Carrera models are
equipped with enhanced Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), which maintains sta -
bilit y even at the limits of dynamic driving
performance. Sensors continuously moni -
tor the direction, speed, yaw velocit y and
lateral acceleration of the car. Using this
information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake diffe
rential
(ABD) and anti -slip regulation (ASR).
When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving style.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,
for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of

driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an
apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit y.

Engineering that takes you forward:
optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navigation
module and a high-resolution 7-inch
colour touchscreen. PCM is your control
centre for audio, navigation and
communication functions.Instruments.
Sport y not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five round instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately.
Their st yling is t ypically Porsche with the
rev counter exactly where you would
expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y
is sound. Fit ted as standard, the
CDR audio system with 7-inch colour
touchscreen and the Sound Package Plus
offer outstanding performance with a
total output of 235 wat ts. Available as an
option is the BOSE
® Surround Sound
System with a total output of 445 wat ts.
In short, it delivers powerful audio playback combined with an impressive
spatial sound.

No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the
optional High-End Surround Sound
System from Burmester®, the bespoke
manufacturer based in Berlin and one of
the most respected premium audio
manufacturers worldwide. With a total output of 821
wat ts, it ensures an
incredible audio experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional
sound systems and also saves weight.

Ergonomics, st yle and sound. Sports car
technology, intelligently combined. The instrument cluster with a high-
resolution 4.6-inch TFT colour screen
provides you with a continuous stream of
data from the on-board computer, such
as trip mileage, journey time or average
fuel consumption. It also displays the
navigation system map, delivers various
warnings, including alerts from the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system and,
in 911 Carrera 4 models, tells you
the current front /rear axle torque
distribution. You can also use it to
personalise various in-car settings.

Digital radio.
The optional digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto -
matically switches bet ween digital and
analogue to ensure optimum reception
of the selected station.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM inserted directly
into the integral SIM card reader of
CDR Plus or PCM, calls can be made
using the hands-free facilit y. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth
®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once the connection has been
established automatically, the mobile
phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus, PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without
it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-free
system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away.
On request, a Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
Mobile phone preparation is available
as an option so that a Bluetooth®
connection can be established with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). This function
also enables you to leave your mobile
phone tucked away. The CDR audio
system, CDR Plus and PCM are able to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone. The GSM connection
is established through the aerial of the
mobile phone.
Voice control system.
If you require route guidance, need to
make a phone call or want to listen to the
radio, then why not just say so? Almost
all of the functions of PCM can be con -
trolled using the optional voice control
system with word -by
-word input. In the
majorit y of cases, you can simply say
the name of the menu item as seen on
1) TMC Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.2) In MPEG -2 format.
The DVD-audio drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3- compatible. Audio play -
back of video DVDs is also supported.
A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger integrat -
ed into PCM is available as an option.
The universal audio interface (USB) 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.
You can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook via the USB port. You can also
transfer up to 5,000 tracks (40 GB) in
MP3 format to the internal hard drive (or Jukebox) of PCM and play them from
there. Podcasts and audiobooks are
recognised and played and cover art is
displayed.
The navigation module in PCM features

a high-speed hard drive and allows you
to choose bet ween a 2D display and
a 3D perspective. In some regions, it is
possible to display the terrain (with an
overlaid satellite map) and buildings in
3D. 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
manoeuvre.
The navigation module also has a
dynamic route guidance function which
takes into account official traffic
messages (TMC) and additional traffic
flow sensors (TMC Pro).

the screen. The voice control system
understands complete addresses when
entered as navigation destinations, as
well as phonebook entries and the names
of radio stations. Even lists can be
browsed by voice command. For added
convenience, there is no need to ‘train’
the system.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging on every journey of mileage,
route distance, date, time, starting
location and destination. Data can be
downloaded to a USB stick and evaluated
on your home PC using the soft ware
supplied. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks
as specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Speed limit indicator screen
Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions and the
start and end of no overtaking zones.
The information is recorded using a cam -
era and is shown on the colour TFT dis -
play in the instrument cluster or via the
PCM screen. If a traffic sign is missed –
for example due to heav y rain or dark -
ness – the speed limit stored in the navi -
gation module is automatically displayed. The function allows the driver to concen
-
trate more fully on the road ahead.
TV tuner.
The optional T V tuner is capable of
receiving unencrypted analogue and
digital television broadcasts (DVB-T)
2) to
provide entertainment between journeys.
For your safet y, the T V picture is
switched off while the car is in motion.
