| The 911 Carrera Cabriolet
The future of the sports car
is wide open again.
The 911 Carrera Cabriolet.
Sometimes, the best option is to free
your mind, to look at things from a fresh
perspective and to explore your own
direction, not least when you’ve set
yourself ambitious goals for the future.
These goals can be achieved by opening
yourself up to precedent-set ting ideas.
This is the direction explored by the
911 Carrera Cabriolet. With innovative
hood engineering, lightweight materials
and an integrated wind deflector, it
conceives a new kind of freedom and
broadens the appeal of the sports car.
Smooth and firm, light and robust, the
design of the hood is impressive in terms of both appearance and construction. It
is made from three magnesium elements
and incorporates the fixed glass rear
screen. This saves weight and, not only
does it improve aesthetics, it also
reduces unwanted noise. What you can
still hear, however, is the unadulterated
sound of your 911.
The wind deflector is fit ted as standard
and offers practically draught-free driving
and minimal wind noise. Operation could
not be easier. Integrated directly behind
the rear seats, it folds out electrically in
just t wo seconds and remains operable
up to a speed of 120 km/ h.
The performance figures of the
911
Carrera Cabriolet reflect the
ambitious goals achieved by our
engineers. The rear-mounted 3.4-litre,
six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine
delivers
257 kW (350 hp) at 7,400 rpm
and enables a top speed of 286 km/ h.
In summary, this articulate concept forms
the basis for a self-assured personalit y.
Typified by its courage to adapt and
change, it derives pleasure from exploring
new directions. After all, the future is
wide open.

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

Electrically powered wind deflector.
Once again, our engineers have gone
their own way – this time in the wind
tunnel. The 911
Carrera Cabriolet models
are equipped as standard with an
electrically powered wind deflector,
which offers practically draught-free driving and minimal wind noise with the
top down.
With the 911, fit ting and removing the
wind deflector is unnecessary because
it is integrated directly into the body
behind the rear seats. As a result, it
doesn’t take up any extra space in the interior or luggage compartment and is
ready for use at all times.
For unrestricted open
-top driving pleasure,
the wind deflector extends or retracts
in just t wo seconds and can be operated
at speeds of up to 120 km/ h.

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 911 Carrera 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. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of
impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated not just sooner,
but with even greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 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.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera
Cabriolet models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Body flexing is minimal even on irregular
road surfaces.
Increased protection is provided by
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system if the car were to
overturn. Two spring-loaded roll-over
bars are neatly incorporated behind
the rear seats. The roll- over sensor
continuously monitors the car’s pitch
and roll, contact with the road, as
well as lateral and longitudinal forces.
If the car were to overturn, the roll- over
bars would be deployed instantly.

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.
