The highlights of the new 911.
Design 25
Interior design.
The interior of a Porsche is infused with
over 60 years of experience in sports
car construction. You can feel it: in the
materials, which are easy to grip and are
exquisitely made. You can see it: in the
sport y design. And it communicates
itself with every second of driving,
thanks to excellent ergonomics and
comfort.
Not an everyday sports car then, but a
sports car for everyday use. It’s clear the
moment you get in, and find an astonishing
amount of leg and head room. The new sports steering wheel speaks
the language of motorsport. The design
is based on the steering wheel of the
918 Spyder and combines st yle with
purism and a high level of functionalit y.
Integrated as standard in the 911
Carrera
a n d 911
Targa models for the first time:
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including online navigation module
with real-time traffic information, voice
control system and mobile phone
preparation as well as the Connect Plus
module.
Tradition meets innovation. The result?
Futurism, but of the Porsche kind.
Principle 35
911 Carrera S models and the
911 Ta r g a 4 S.
The new S models raise the performance
concept to an even higher level, with a
t win-turbo engine capable of 309 kW
(420 hp). Here, too, a reduction in engine
capacit y and turbocharging has reduced
fuel consumption and increased driving pleasure at the same time. The S models
generate a maximum torque of 500 Nm –
from as low as 1,700 rpm – putting them
ahead of their predecessor once more by
an impressive 60 Nm. Putting you ahead
of the field.
T h e 911 Carrera S models and the
911 Targa 4S are equipped with 20 -inch alloy wheels. Traction is enhanced
by Porsche Torque Vectoring (PT V),
which is fit ted as standard. Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
the electronic damping control system,
also comes as standard. The new rear-
axle steering and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) are available on
request. Increased performance could not be
managed without greater safety.
The S models are therefore equipped
with six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed
brake calipers in red at the front and
four-piston equivalents at the rear.
Another hallmark of the new S models:
twin tailpipes in brushed stainless steel.
Well, ‘S’ does stand for Sport, doesn’t it?

Comfort 79
The driver must always know how to get
ahead, without ever losing sight of the
bigger picture. For this reason, every thing
in the interior is geared towards looking
forward: to the car in front, to the next
corner, to the next driving manoeuvre.
That’s possible only when synergies are
created between engineering and design,
and sportiness and comfort. Proof: the
new sports steering wheel with its puristic
design and excellent ergonomics. More
proof: the ascending centre console. The
principle they share: putting the driver
first. The same applies to the suspension
settings and the two-zone air conditioning
system. There shouldn’t be any need to
spend too long browsing one submenu
after another. You should instead be able
to concentrate on what’s important:
driving pleasure.
Five round instruments make a sport y
contribution. Their primary purpose is to
provide information. They do so efficiently
and accurately. And their styling is
typically Porsche, with the rev counter
exactly where you would expect it to be:
in the middle. Technology to help you along the way is
integrated as standard: new Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including online navigation module plus
7-inch multi-touchscreen. Thanks to the
Connect Plus module, PCM is also your
gateway to the digital world.
The instrument cluster with 4.6-inch
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 map
of the navigation system together
with real-time traffic information,
You can feel the Porsche tradition here.
And touch the future.
Interior.
delivers various warnings and reminds
you of your chosen communication and
audio set tings.
From pioneering technology to sporty
comfort. Whether it’s leather or Alcantara,
all the materials we use are exquisite
and puristic.
In addition to the choice of Agate Grey,
Black and Luxor Beige 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 and high-quality
wood.

Sports steering wheel.
Fit ted as standard, the sports steering
wheel with spoked design is light weight
and functional. The small centre pad and
the chrome ring encircling the Porsche
Crest – both derived from the steering
wheel of the 918 Spyder – reinforce its
sporty character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles. The shift throw of the
paddles has been reduced, gearshifts
are even crisper. Available as an option
is the new GT sports steering wheel. This
has a smaller diameter. The decorative
ring and the paddles are finished in
Galvano Silver, while the spoke trims are
screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived
design? Definitely. Above all, though, to
emulate a motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
colour display, the on-board computer
and many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the overhead
console and in the areas of the door
handles, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
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 your hand nears the Porsche
Crest on the luggage compartment lid, the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door or the
luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.
Infotainment for a new generation:
enhanced Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including online
navigation module with real-time traffic
information
is your control centre for
audio, navigation
and communication
functions – and it ’s standard in every
model.
PCM is operated by means of the new
7-inch multi-touchscreen or by voice
control. Alternatively, you can use the
conventional rotary pushbutton controls.
In response to hand movement, an
integral proximit y sensor activates the screen to display the relevant menu
contents, which you can then operate
easily using multi-touch gestures. With
its high-quality glass surface, PCM is the
aesthetically perfect addition to the
centre console.
Equally user-friendly is the new navigation
system – offering real-time traffic data.
Based on this information, roads in map
view are highlighted green, yellow or
red,
depending on volume of traffic. In
addition, the traffic information is
continuously updated and, thanks to
dynamic route guidance, your journey is
adapted accordingly.
Another word for pioneering?
Trailblazing.

Comfort 89
Infotainment begins the moment you
connect and charge your iPod
® or hook
up any other audio source of your choice.
Simply use the iPod
® interface in the
centre console, or the universal audio
interface or AUX input in the glove
compartment.
Your iPod
® or USB stick can be operated
conveniently via PCM, the steering wheel
if specified with optional multifunction
controls, or by voice control. What’s more, the USB connection enables you to
download data from the performance
display of the optional Sport Chrono
Package or from the optional electronic
logbook.
For your personal music collection, the
CD/ DVD drive is supplemented by an
internal hard drive (‘jukebox’) and t wo SD
card readers. Once you have inserted a
card containing your audio files, you can
play them using the music player in PCM.
Mobile phone preparation.
With mobile phone preparation, a
Bluetooth® connection can be established
automatically with mobile phones that
support the Handsfree Profile (HFP), so
you can leave your mobile phone tucked
away. PCM enables you to operate the
phone’s basic functions. The GSM
connection is always established through
the aerial of the mobile phone.
Sound Package Plus.
Sound Package Plus, with eight
loudspeakers and a total output of
150 wat ts, delivers excellent sound. The
amplifier integrated into PCM optimally
adapts the acoustic pat tern in the vehicle
interior to the driver and front passenger.
New infotainment features:
– Porsche Communication Management (PCM) as standard, including online navigation module, mobile phone preparation,
voice control system and Sound Package Plus
– Connect Plus module as standard, including online navigation, Apple CarPlay™, telephone module and wireless Internet access
– Porsche Connect app for transferring destinations from your smartphone, e.g. from address or calendar entries
– Porsche Car Connect with Carfinder, Remote Vehicle Status, Remote Services and Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (PVTS)
Comfort 91
Connect Plus.
Always on-board: the Connect Plus module,
for making the optimum connection
bet ween your smartphone and your
Porsche.
The centre console contains a special
smartphone tray, which hands over the
function of the mobile phone aerial to the
external aerial of the car, sparing the
mobile phone battery and providing
optimum reception. At the same time,
you can connect your smartphone by
USB cable for recharging or to play its
audio content.
Online navigation.
The Connect Plus module delivers real-
time traffic information to the 911
for the
first time ever. Now you can find out
even before you set off which routes are best avoided if you wish to arrive at
your destination sooner. Throughout
the journey, the optimum route is
dynamically recalculated based on
regular updating of traffic data.
The online navigation package also
includes the Google Street View™ and
Google Earth™ services. Their 360°
views and satellite imagery help you to
identify your surroundings at your
destination and along the way.
Apple CarPlay™.
With Apple CarPlay™, you can use the
apps of your iPhone
® even when you’re
on the move – via PCM or voice control.
The voice control system, available as
standard, can also be used to make
phone calls. And with ‘Siri’, the Apple
®
voice recognition interface, you can compose text messages, have incoming
SMS read out and send your replies – or
you can listen to music and podcasts, all
the while keeping your full concentration
on the road.
Telephone module.
Connect Plus also includes the telephone
module, which offers convenience,
excellent reception and optimised voice
qualit y. With a SIM card inserted directly
into the SIM card reader of PCM, calls
can be made using the hands-free
facilit y. For even more convenience, the
Bluetooth
® capability of a mobile phone
can be used to make calls via the SIM
Access Profile (SAP). Once the link has
been established automatically, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched off to
conserve battery charge and the phone
operates via the car aerial.
Do you feel there’s a special connection between you and your Porsche?
It does, too.
Wireless Internet access.
Wireless Internet access gives you in-car
online access from WiFi-enabled client
devices (e.g. tablets, laptops, smartphones
or netbooks), simultaneously if necessary.
