SPORT button.
The SPORT button 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.
Adrenaline at the push of a but ton, goose
bumps included: the functions of the
optional Sport Chrono Package enable
an even sportier tuning of the chassis,
engine and transmission – and launch
you to unprecedented sporty heights.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder to make you feel closer to
the racetrack. Without your hand leaving
the steering wheel, you can choose any
of four set tings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Individual. Now you can adapt
the vehicle even more to the way you
want to drive. On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the S models, optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
and optional rear-axle steering adapt for
enhanced roadholding performance by
switching to a sportier damper set ting
and offering more direct turn-in on
entering the corner.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has three additional
functions. The first is ‘Launch Control’,
which can be used to achieve the best
possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy. In this mode,
Another few seconds faster.
Under the skin.
High-performance systems.
PDK is geared up for extremely short
shift times and optimum shift points for
the maximum acceleration available.
This combination of uncompromising and
involving performance is ideal for the
racetrack.
The third function – SPORT Response –
is brand new to the 911. Pressing the
but ton in the centre of the mode switch
primes the engine and transmission for the
fastest possible unleashing of power. In
other words, maximum responsiveness –
for a period of approximately 20 seconds.
A timer graphic in the instrument cluster
tells you how long is left.

Another component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with PCM,
a special performance display enables
you to view, store and evaluate lap times
or other driving times. It shows the total
driving time, lap distance, lap number
and lap times recorded so far. Dynamic engine mounts are also part
of the Sport Chrono Package. The
electronically controlled system
minimises the perceptible oscillations
and vibrations of the entire drivetrain,
particularly the engine, and combines
the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement. In short, it
enhances both driving stability and
driving comfort. PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented
by a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM
remaining active in the background. For
a further enhancement to your driving
experience.

Airbags and Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The new 911 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.
All new 911
models are also 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.
Roll-over protection.
In the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models,
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system offers added
protection 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. The instant a potential
roll- over is detected, it initiates deployment
of the roll-over bars within fractions of a
second. For the 911 Targa 4 and
911 Targa 4S, added roll- over safet y is
provided by a steel protection system
concealed behind the aluminium trim of
the Targa roll bar.
Safety and environment 75
In an era of intensifying debate about
global climate change and CO2 emissions,
every automotive manufacturer is asking
what it has to offer right now. Our
answer? Excellent performance together
with excellent efficiency.
Emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
This is accomplished, on the one hand,
with the efficient use of fuel by means of
efficiency-enhancing technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, active air
intake flaps and, in conjunction with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), coasting
mode. On the other hand, cataly tic
converters with stereo Lambda control
circuits provide efficient emission
control. Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is
integral to the Porsche identit y. This
is expressed in the form of a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength
sheet steels. All materials have been
strategically selected, and the paints
used are predominantly environmentally
friendly water-based paints. Each lightweight material is easily recyclable
and all plastic components are labelled
to facilitate future separation for
recycling. In all, the 911
is up to 95
%
recoverable.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10 %, e.g. ‘E10’.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO2
balance because it is derived from plants
that absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.
For others, it’s the order of the day.
For us, the order of the future.
