Design 17
The design of the 911 shows where we
come from and where our roots are. But
it also shows the direction of our thinking
and how we see the future.
The design language, proportions and
contouring follow the 911
tradition: with
wings that are higher than the front lid;
with headlights that are bulging and
round; with a roof line that slopes down
towards the rear over tapering side
windows. The overall appearance is low,
wide and sleek. Sports car proportions
that originated on the racetrack. An icon? Certainly – but only because we
continue its development. Our designers
focused on making the new 911
appear
even more precise, and by doing so they
created the blueprint for its future. With
a new lighting design and characteristic
four-spot LED day time running lights,
which have now been incorporated into
the Bi-Xenon main headlights. With
direction indicators that are even slimmer
than they were before. For a Porsche
that
is recognisably a 911, even from a
distance.
The front has been reshaped for an even
sportier look. The air intakes are larger,
the design is even more succinct. In the
side air intakes, new active air intake
flaps control aerodynamics and cooling
performance as required.
In summary: the new 911
shows plent y of
bite from the front. And the future has
whetted its appetite.
An innovation is a tradition,
forever being sharpened to look brand new.

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.

Tradition meets innovation. The result?
Futurism, but of the Porsche kind.
